In our new season of ‘The Swiss Connection’External link science podcast we take a close look at longevity and other hot topics in healthcare.
In our first podcast episode, Swissinfo health reporter Jessica Davis Plüss embarks on a global quest to get to the bottom of the longevity trend. How close are we to the magic pill that helps us live longer? How much of longevity is thanks to our genes versus our lifestyle? Are longevity clinics the secret to a longer, healthier life or are they just marketing hype?
Davis Plüss talks to longevity experts in Singapore, the US, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland; and visits three longevity clinics that included a day at the legendary Clinique La Prairie on the shores of Lake Geneva.
