What if one of the most powerful longevity interventions isn't another supplement, test, or biohack, but JOY?

In this episode of the Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast, Claudia speaks with Tina Woods, social entrepreneur, author, founder of Collider Health and Business for Health, and DJ Tina Technotic!

Together, they explore how we can shift from reactive sick care to prevention and why joy, purpose, connection, and our environment may be some of the most overlooked factors in healthy ageing.

Tina introduces the human exposome, the environmental, lifestyle, social, and psychological influences that shape our health throughout life. She also shares her inspiring journey of becoming a DJ at 60 and launching the Joy Score experiment, exploring whether music, dancing, belonging, and positive experiences can produce measurable biological and neurological changes.

From AI and preventative healthcare to loneliness, biomarkers, and the limitations of obsessive self-optimization, this conversation challenges us to rethink what it truly means to live longer and better.
