What does it really mean to live longer — and live better?
In this episode, I sit down with Davitt Meenaghan, founder of ReWell, whose journey into longevity began in his grandmother’s garden and has taken him to the cutting edge of biohacking. We explore the powerful intersection between ancestral wisdom and modern science, uncovering why the real keys to healthspan aren’t found in a “magic pill” but in the simple, consistent habits we too often overlook.
Davitt shares deeply personal insights, from near-blackouts on the hockey pitch to helping clients reverse years of ill health and challenges our obsession with staying young at all costs. Together, we examine how culture, technology, and community shape our approach to aging, and why purpose might be the most overlooked longevity hack of all.
This is a conversation about reconnection: to nature, to ourselves, and to what really matters.
