“I have a smartphone; you also have a smartphone. So, why do we put a cover on the smartphone? Why do we update our smartphones all the time?”, asks Professor Andrea Maier, co-founder of Chi Longevity.
We’re in deep discussion about the significance of age reversal plans, a holistic service that Chi Longevity provides, supported by a scientific-based proactive approach to ageing to guide individuals towards a younger, healthier self.
“And why do we have updates on our smartphones to fix issues? Yes, to make it run better, faster, and more optimised. We do the same here at Chi, with our bodies,” the 45-year-old elaborates. Ageing, once regarded as an inevitable and irreversible process, is now being challenged by groundbreaking advancements in medical science. As the quest for a longer, healthier, and more vibrant life intensifies, a new industry has emerged, offering hope to those in executive positions who wish to defy the passage of time.
In fact, Professor Maier and her colleagues in the field were working on getting ageing recognised as a disease by the World Health Organization (WHO).
According to market research, the global anti-ageing market was valued at over USD$59.1 billion (S$78 billion) in 2021, with a projected forecast of USD$88.1 billion by 2028. This exponential growth demonstrates the willingness of individuals to invest in cutting-edge technologies and therapies that promise to rejuvenate their bodies, enhance their cognitive abilities, and extend their lifespans.
As the world grapples with the shifting paradigm of ageing, these clinics and centres, such as Chi Longevity, position themselves at the forefront of a revolution, ushering in a new era where age is not a barrier but rather a malleable concept waiting to be challenged and conquered.
