Live Long with Peter Bowes

Modern life asks less and less of our bodies, while placing ever greater demands on our minds. We move less, sleep poorly and fill every spare moment with stimulation—often without realizing the long-term consequences.
Oscar Trelles explores the connections between recovery, resilience and the way we age. His work—through the wellness and performance company Breathing Flame—focuses on helping people better understand the conditions that shape health and long-term wellbeing.
In his forthcoming book, The Human OS Manual, he argues that a longer, healthier life depends less on isolated interventions and more on the rhythms and routines that shape our days.
So have we lost touch with the conditions that help us thrive—and what would it take to restore them?

Sugar is woven into our culture as a reward, a comfort and a celebration. But for some people, the relationship with food becomes far more complicated - and potentially life-threatening.
Broadcaster and journalist Phil Williams has written with extraordinary candour about living with binge eating disorder and the hidden toll it took on his physical and mental health. In this Live Long conversation, he describes the shame, self-loathing and health scares that finally forced him to confront his addiction.
It's a powerful reminder that living well isn't simply about adding years to life, but understanding the behaviours that can take those years away.
This episode includes strong language.

What is still possible in midlife?
Many of us reach our forties, fifties and sixties assuming that the major chapters of our lives have already been written. Careers are established, habits are set, and the opportunity for significant change may feel increasingly limited.
Jeffrey Weiss challenges that assumption.
At the age of 48, he ran his first 10-kilometre race. In the years that followed, he completed Ironman Arizona twice, finished a 72-mile ultramarathon, and embarked on a successful new chapter in his professional life that culminated in a multi-billion-dollar startup exit.
In this conversation, we explore the power of healthspan, the value of audacious goals, how fitness can transform both body and mindset, and why it's never too late to embrace a new challenge.
Jeffrey is the author of Racing Against Time: On Ironman, Ultramarathons, and the Quest for Transformation in Mid-Life.

Most of us know what healthy eating looks like. The challenge is sticking to it when life gets busy, stress levels rise, and convenience wins out.

So what can we learn from the way elite athletes fuel their bodies, and from the systems that make healthy choices easier?

In this conversation, Mario Limaduran, Culinary Director for Trifecta Nutrition, explores the realities of meal planning, the role of discipline and habits, and why perfection is often the enemy of long-term success. His message is simple: healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated, but it does need to be sustainable.

For decades, aging was seen as inevitable — a slow and irreversible decline. But a growing number of scientists now believe we may be entering a turning point, with research increasingly focused on extending not just how long we live, but how well we live.
In the documentary Forever Young, filmmaker David Donnelly — alongside producers Dr. James Johnson and Dr. Thomas Lewis — explores the rapidly evolving world of longevity science, from biological clocks and AI-driven research to the power of lifestyle, purpose, and social connection.
The film also confronts some of the field’s biggest questions: what aging actually is, whether it should be treated as a disease, and who stands to benefit if the science succeeds. In this conversation with Peter Bowes, Donnelly reflects on skepticism, scientific disagreement, and why he believes humanity may already be living through a longevity revolution.
