What does it take to stay healthy and energised for the long haul? When we talk about longevity, what we really mean is adding quality and resilience to every stage life.
We spoke with our nutritionist Amy about the most important supplements for long-term health, and how to nourish your body for the future.
A Whole-Body Approach
“Promoting long-term health and well-being requires a strategic, holistic approach to nutrition that supports cellular health, reduces inflammation, protects cognitive function, and optimises digestion and detoxification.”
– Amy, Nutritionist
Amy emphasises the importance of starting with a strong nutritional foundation:
"Colourful vegetables and fruits, omega-3-rich fish, nuts, seeds, legumes, and fermented foods," all play an essential role in maintaining energy, preventing disease and supporting the gut-brain axis. "In addition, targeted supplements and nutritional strategies can provide long-term benefits that help delay aging and enhance vitality," says Amy.
Amy’s Five Longevity Support Pillars
Here’s how Amy breaks it down:
- Phytonutrient-Rich Superfoods: Combat oxidative stress and chronic inflammation — key drivers of ageing and disease.
- Nootropics and Adaptogens: Support memory, mental clarity, and stress resilience — all vital for brain longevity and cognitive health.
- Digestive Support + Probiotics: A healthy microbiome boosts immune strength, mood regulation, and nutrient absorption.
- Liver & Detox Support: Daily detoxification helps eliminate environmental toxins and reduce systemic inflammation.
- Hydration: Often overlooked in winter, hydration supports everything from digestion to skin, joints, and mental energy. Amy suggests including hydrating foods like cucumber, citrus, and berries, alongside regular water intake.
Amy’s Favourite Longevity Product
“One of my go-to recommendations for long-term wellness is Nootropic Greens by MyBrainCo. I personally love this product because it offers a comprehensive blend of high-quality ingredients designed to nourish both body and mind:”
Here’s why:
- Greens + Reds Superfood Blend – Rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients to protect against free radical damage and support immune function.
- Nootropic Complex – Includes Bacopa, Ginkgo and Lion’s Mane to support memory, focus, and long-term brain health.
- Digestive Enzymes + Probiotics – Aid digestion and promote a healthy gut microbiome.
- Liver Detox Support – Milk thistle and dandelion root support the body’s natural detox pathways and protect the liver.
- Adaptogens – Help the body manage stress and regulate hormones.
- Hydrating Formula – Supports electrolyte balance and cellular hydration, especially helpful during the dry winter months.
“Nootropic Greens is a convenient, all-in-one solution that aligns with the key nutritional pillars of longevity — making it an ideal daily addition for anyone looking to thrive long-term.”
About Amy
Nutritionist
"During the winter months, I focus on key nutrients that support immune function. Vitamin C and Zinc are well-known for their role in enhancing immune defence and reducing the duration of colds. I also love Quercetin, a powerful antioxidant that may help modulate the immune response and reduce inflammation. Additionally, medicinal mushrooms such as turkey tail and reishi are excellent for immune support, thanks to their adaptogenic properties. These nutrients work synergistically to help the body stay resilient during the colder season."

Lifestyle to Support Longevity
Here’s what you can do to live longer, feel better, and age well:
Prioritise Quality Sleep. Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep each night. Going to bed and waking up at consistent times helps regulate your circadian rhythm, hormone balance and cognitive function.
Stay Hydrated. Water is essential for every bodily function. Even mild dehydration can impair energy, memory, and physical performance. Aim for 2–2.5L of water per day, more if you're active.
Move Your Body Daily. Regular physical activity, including walking, resistance training and stretching, improves cardiovascular health, muscle mass, mental health, and mobility as you age.
Cultivate Connection & Community. Social connection is a key predictor of longevity. Nurture meaningful relationships and seek out regular social engagement, even through simple daily conversations.
Manage Stress Effectively. Chronic stress accelerates ageing. Incorporate regular stress-relieving practices like mindfulness, time in the nature, journaling or breathwork.
Support Work-Life Balance. Avoid burnout by setting boundaries, taking breaks, and doing activities that bring you joy and fulfilment outside of work.
Spend Time in Natural Light. Daily sunlight exposure supports vitamin D synthesis, sleep regulation, and mood. Aim for 10–30 minutes of morning light without sunglasses when possible.
Avoid Pro-Inflammatory Triggers. Limit alcohol, smoking, and ultra-processed foods. These are known to accelerate ageing, increase inflammation, and contribute to chronic disease risk.
