Dr Ash Kapoor is nearly 60 but, by his reckoning, he has an awful lot more to look forward to.<\/p>\n

Another 63 years, to be precise. None of which will be spent lolling about in a care home waiting for lunch and praying for a peaceful departure in his sleep.<\/p>\n

No, the second half of Ash\u2019s life promises to be even better than the first.<\/p>\n

He is expecting to enjoy fantastically high energy levels and do an awful lot of barefoot walking in nature and immersing himself in ice baths.<\/p>\n

He\u2019ll be disappointed if he\u2019s not doing chin-ups well into his 80s and swimming in Alpine lakes for another half century. And sporting his fantastic head of thick and lustrous hair, for a long time yet.<\/p>\n

And if things go to plan, he\u2019ll even \u2013 and I\u2019m not sure if I should whisper this or shout it from the rooftops \u2013 be both sexually enthusiastic and extremely active, well into his 100s.<\/p>\n

Because Dr Ash, a pioneer in regenerative medicine and founder of the Levitas Clinic, is not interested in just existing \u2013 \u2018like those sad, grey people you see just sitting, on their screens, waiting to die\u2019.<\/p>\n

No, he\u2019s talking about living with what he calls, \u2018full independence, purpose and in pursuit of fulfilment\u2019 \u2013 really contributing to society, right up to the end.<\/p>\n

\"The <\/p>\n

The eclectic mix of treatments, costing \u00a33,000, included a facial massage<\/p>\n

\u2018Of course the idea of living to 123 is realistic. Totally realistic!\u2019 he says, in his lovely soft voice with perfect cadence and diction. \u2018And so that is our target.\u2019<\/p>\n

Well, wow and how fantastic \u2013 if quite a recalibration for those of us in our 50s to suddenly discover that there is far more life ahead, than behind.<\/p>\n

Even better, it turns out that the secret of living to 123 is surprisingly simple and straightforward.<\/p>\n

Because it involves no dictator-style organ transplants \u2013 as discussed excitedly by Russian President Vladimir Putin and China\u2019s Xi Jinping when they met at a military parade in Beijing earlier this month, both hoping to live to 150.<\/p>\n

And no need to live like Bryan Johnson, the American longevity obsessive and tech millionaire, who spends $2million a year trying to reverse his biological age. He eats only green mush and is constantly hungry, never exposes his bluey green skin to sunlight, goes to bed at tea time and has forgotten how to have fun.<\/p>\n

Even better, there is no need to spend the billions that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and other Silicon Valley tech bros have been splurging into biochemical cell regenerative research in an attempt to extend their lives.<\/p>\n

No. Living longer the Levitas way involves a simple 90-day programme of cleaning out, repairing, renewing and resetting our bodies to their natural state \u2013 as if we were living in the wilderness like Masai warriors \u2013 free from modern day toxins that bombard us.<\/p>\n

After which, Dr Ash says, we could all be disease free. Now and in the future.<\/p>\n

\"Jane <\/p>\n

Jane was given a state-of-the-art tooth clean to protect against periodontal gum disease<\/p>\n

\u2018Inflammation is the cause of every disease \u2013 all 126,000 of them,\u2019 he says, adding if we remove inflammation from the body, we remove illness. \u2018Genes are not your destiny,\u2019 he says. \u2018You can change the outcome.\u2019<\/p>\n

So what about a predisposition to dementia? \u2018Don\u2019t worry about it,\u2019 says Dr Ash. Rheumatoid arthritis. Colitis. High blood pressure. Alzheimer\u2019s. Auto immune disease. Diabetes. Joint inflammation?<\/p>\n

\u2018Not a problem,\u2019 says Dr Ash. \u2018It\u2019s like pressing \u201cControl, Alt, Delete\u201d on the body. We can reset everything.\u2019<\/p>\n

All of which sounds, well, almost too good to be true.<\/p>\n

As does the price. Because Dr Ash insists that it does not cost the millions lots of his patients would happily spend to extend their lives. But a few thousand pounds for the initial 90-day programme. (In extremis, I could apparently buy some herbs from Holland & Barratt and do a DIY version, though it would take longer.)<\/p>\n

Dr Ash has had success. You might remember the articles in this paper, written by TV journalist Donal MacIntyre, who lost more than three stone \u2013 and kept it off \u2013 during a 23-day fast under Dr Ash\u2019s supervision earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, 58-year-old Donal said he felt like a man reborn. His blood pressure normalised, he stopped being pre-diabetic and no longer needed knee surgery.<\/p>\n

Of course, Donal was obese (17-and-a-half stone) and anyone who loses that much weight is likely to have a new spring in their step.<\/p>\n

\"Jane <\/p>\n

But many of Dr Ash\u2019s patients are not remotely fat.<\/p>\n

Some are high net worth individuals in their 60s experiencing burnout. Others have lost their vim and verve. Some just want to embrace a new way.<\/p>\n

To see what all the fuss is about, I visit the Levitas clinic in Mayfair, London, to try the \u2018specialist consultation\u2019, which is the starting point for all Dr Ash\u2019s new patients.<\/p>\n

It is an eclectic mix of treatments (costing \u00a33,000), which includes light therapy, shockwave therapy \u2018like acupuncture on steroids\u2019, facial massage, body balance, in a big blue compression suit, and a state-of-the-art tooth clean to protect against periodontal gum disease, which has been linked to Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n

There is also a strange hair rejuvenation session in which a serum made from trout sperm is injected into my follicles because, according to Dr Ash, \u2018hair loss is just a sign that your body is defeated\u2019. The serum helps nudge the follicles back into life.<\/p>\n

But it all starts with a body composition test \u2013 \u2018we turn you inside out\u2019 \u2013 which involves standing on a monitor and holding two spindly paddles as it measures fat composition, muscle structure, sugar levels, etc.<\/p>\n

But most important is the body\u2019s ketone count, which gauges our ability to metabolise \u2018internal fat larders\u2019 into energy. This process of the body feeding off itself is called \u2018autophagy\u2019. It reduces inflammation and the likelihood of disease \u2013 and is key to Dr Ash\u2019s programme.<\/p>\n

And here, my results make him very excitable indeed. Because, yes, I need to lose four kilos (9lbs) of fat and my organs are pretty much coddled in lard, but my muscle mass, or internal scaffolding, is \u2018excellent\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"Face <\/p>\n

Face therapist Pelin Saray gave Jane a number of different facial treatments<\/p>\n

Most importantly, my body is already ketonic \u2013 busily raiding its own larders.<\/p>\n

\u2018This is a great start! You are very, very lucky,\u2019 he says. \u2018You\u2019d be a very quick fix.\u2019<\/p>\n

Which would involve seven weeks of taking a blend of premium Australian herbs (such as psyllium husk) to detox the \u2018hideous debris\u2019 in my small intestine. Then a detox of my liver to fix my natural energy. Then a three-day fast (water only). Followed by seven days with one small meal a day. After which he\u2019d rebuild me with peptides (amino acids that do wonders for everything from skin care to hormone regulation) and get me going on breathwork and ice baths.<\/p>\n

\u2018A little bit of work and you could change everything. You\u2019d cruise though. Everything will feel better,\u2019 he says. \u2018You\u2019ll sleep like a baby, immediately add 20 years to your lifespan. And you\u2019ll be nicer to be around.\u2019<\/p>\n

It turns out that all Dr Ash\u2019s patients are nicer after their reset. \u2018It shifts them from the materialistic side of their brain to the community side,\u2019 he says. \u2018Releases them from their ego.\u2019<\/p>\n

As I mull over whether I could eke my pension out over another 20 years, we move to the next stage.<\/p>\n

An anti-inflammatory drip containing turmeric (a known anti-inflammatory), which goes into my right arm and makes me feel a bit sick and weird and worried I\u2019ll bleed yellow in the future.<\/p>\n

But kind Dr Ash takes my mind off it by gently massaging my arm and telling me how he believes the prevalence of ADHD is all about our failure to metabolise the stored sugar in our bodies.<\/p>\n

\"Dr <\/p>\n

Dr Ash Kapoor and technician Manny put the turmeric drip into Jane’s arm<\/p>\n

How, unlike Bryan Johnson \u2013 who he says looks gaunt and is very arrogant \u2013 he drinks alcohol. Though he does eat just one meal a day \u2013 often a light vegetable curry \u2013 in the evening and gets up at 4.30am. And, most surprisingly, how he has never taken a drug in his life \u2013 not even paracetamol \u2013 and has no truck with prostate screening tests, because \u2018it\u2019s all just inflammation\u2019 and he\u2019d be alert to any changes in his body.<\/p>\n

\u2018Don\u2019t let the doubt come into your head!\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n

When the drip is finally empty, we move on to the next treatment, where he injects carbon dioxide into my eye sockets \u2013 yes, really \u2013 causing my eyes to swell up so much that I can\u2019t open them for the next five minutes. Apparently, this will make the bags under them look better for at least three weeks.<\/p>\n

And as I lie there in the dark, he tells me that, as an NHS GP in Hampshire, he became so depressed prescribing drugs to endless chronically ill oldies with hypertension and arthritis, that he felt there must be a better way.<\/p>\n

Which is why he started exploring how to live better and longer, the natural way. To that end, he attended courses on epigenetics, peptides, longevity and regeneratives in the US and Europe, and set up Levitas ten years ago \u2013 and now has a top-of-the-range silver Bentley complete with personalised number plate and driver.<\/p>\n

Because his approach to health and longevity has taken off like a rocket. Partly because, he says, it works. And not just for the 90 days, but far beyond, like Donal, who went on losing weight after his fast. Because our brains are rebooted, too.<\/p>\n

\u2018People become addicted to feeling well,\u2019 he says. \u2018They start reading up. They change their behaviour.\u2019<\/p>\n

They take up breathwork and ice baths and ditch gyms and start walking around parks in their bare feet, happily eat just one meal a day in return for being happier. And they will eulogise to anyone who\u2019ll listen about their personal transformation.<\/p>\n

Which means that most of his patients are word of mouth.<\/p>\n

\u2018Many are high net-worth individuals who run half the world. Well-known people. Others are just not getting any joy out of life,\u2019 he says. \u2018But everyone is fixable.\u2019<\/p>\n

Some are also surprisingly young. \u2018We\u2019ve got 30-year-olds who are depleted internally through anxiety, stress and disease,\u2019 he says. \u2018And I\u2019ve got an 80-year-old gentleman who does 20 chin-ups a day and swims in a lake and is busy opening up a new business and doing podcasts. He no longer sees his age.\u2019<\/p>\n

But, of course, he still looks it.<\/p>\n

Which is where all the bio regenerative aesthetic treatments come in \u2013 such as hair rejuvenation with stem cell boosters.<\/p>\n

Because one of the problems is that \u2013 how to put it delicately \u2013 some parts down below stop working if they\u2019re left unused for too long.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve got lots of 80-year-old men coming in saying, \u201cI need to get sorted out!\u201d \u2019 he says. \u2018They\u2019ve let things lapse, they\u2019ve normalised decline.\u2019<\/p>\n

So through a process he calls \u2018sexual optimisation\u2019, he draws their blood and centrifuges it to extract the growth factor, the naturally-occurring active ingredient which can stimulate cell growth. Which is then injected into the blood vessel of the penis and, hey presto! \u2013 back on the horse. And, just in case anyone\u2019s wondering, he can do the same for the clitoral area, increasing the sensitivity by jump starting it with growth factor, should an 80, 90 or 100-year-old lady so require.<\/p>\n

Gosh, it\u2019s a lot to take in and extremely tiring, what with Dr Ash\u2019s extraordinary energy levels and a day spent with all those needles stuck into my arms, eyes and hair follicles.<\/p>\n

But as we bid goodbye, as he gives me a big, strong, life-affirming hug and sends me on my way, I start to ponder.<\/p>\n

Could I ever justify the expense, or, for that matter, starve myself for three days? And perhaps more importantly, would I even want to live to 123, when most of my family and friends most certainly will not be around? Still, I wouldn\u2019t mind just another 20 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr Ash Kapoor is nearly 60 but, by his reckoning, he has an awful lot more to look…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437616,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[3801,1395,92,295,105,12767,16,15,333,1773],"class_list":{"0":"post-437615","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-beijing","9":"tag-china","10":"tag-dailymail","11":"tag-elon-musk","12":"tag-health","13":"tag-jeff-bezos","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-vladimir-putin","17":"tag-xi-jinping"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115234516939672246","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437615"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437615\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
