Biomedical scientist John Tregoning reveals how our bodies keep us alive – and the simple, scientifically supported changes we can make to live longer.

With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it’s a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don’t betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions.

Now biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning joins us to tell the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an in-depth tour of the human body, John embarked on his own experimental quest, testing ‘life-extending’ diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad.

Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, and onto the delicate workings of the brain, John will offer compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them – and ultimately how we can live longer, healthier lives.
