Dr. Ellen Langer’s Groundbreaking Work on Ageing & Health

What if your thoughts could change the way you age, even reverse ageing? This is the question that Harvard psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer has been exploring for decades. Her pioneering research has shown that our perceptions of ageing and health have a profound impact on our physical and mental well-being. From her groundbreaking Counterclockwise experiment to her influential books on mindfulness, Dr. Langer’s work challenges conventional wisdom and offers a new perspective on how we can live longer, healthier lives.

Healthy ageing is a natural process, but how we age depends largely on our lifestyle choices. Two emerging strategies that support longevity, vitality, and metabolic health are the carnivore diet and fasting. These approaches focus on nutrient-dense animal-based foods and strategic meal timing to optimise health.

Solitude refers to the state of being alone, often by choice, without the presence of others. It is different from loneliness, which is typically associated with negative feelings of isolation or abandonment. Solitude can be a positive, peaceful and enriching experience, offering time for introspection, relaxation, creativity, and personal growth.

Why do we need Solitude?

People seek solitude for various reasons, such as:

• Self-reflection: To think deeply about one’s life, decisions, or emotions.
• Recharging: For introverts or those needing a break from social interaction, solitude can be restorative.
• Creativity: Artists, writers, and thinkers often find inspiration and focus in solitude.
• Mindfulness: Being alone can help individuals practise meditation or mindfulness without distractions.

Professors Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer have identified what appears to be the universal explanation for obesity – the Protein Leverage Hypothesis. The Protein Leverage Hypothesis demonstrates how our appetite for protein will drive excess energy intake and consequently obesity when the proportion of protein in our diet is low.

However, counterintuitively, they also caution against swinging to extreme protein intakes and have concluded from their laboratory research in mice that high protein diets may not be optimal for longevity. Passionate debate aplenty surrounds this topic. However, particularly since the publication of Eat Like the Animals, the professors have been eager to join the public discussion.

Marty Kendall will chat with David and Stephen (along with Dr Ted Naiman) to explore this topic further. This article details some of Marty’s thoughts as he has been diving into the implications and application of this ground-breaking research, particularly around how and why protein might influence your lifespan.
