Description
Uniquely the Instructor is part of a study - the 'Stamina Study' - currently being conducted at the University of Surrey, into longevity. progress of the study will be included as part of this course as and when available.
Updates: November 2024
A series of Case Studies based on Dr. David Sinclair's Ground Breaking Book, " Lifespan Why We Age and Why We Don't Have To" have now been included. Great for discussion and adapting to your own life!
Case Studies have also been added that reference the work of Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, the founder and CEO of Deep Longevity,
This is a very very very unusual course.
I started making a course about the key factors leading to a longer life. It was only when I had looked at various studies and read about the Blue Zones that I received an email from someone who is actually ON one of my courses. He – Fernando – asked about this course – extending your life – and then pointed out that his grandfather was 103 – still alive – and was living in a country where the life expectancy is (for male) 70.
The country?
Venezuela – a country where millions are fleeing and thousands are dying owing to the deteriorating conditions.
Fernando told me he was coming to Oxford (UK) and would I like to make a course about ageing, using him for anecdotal evidence?
I agreed and this course is the result.
I go through nine factors that affect longevity and see - with a sample size of 1 - whether they are followed by Fernando's Grandfather.
Throughout the course I refer - a lot - to published studies as well as anecdotal evidence.
Make sure you put the suggestions into action!

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.
The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.
