  • Ed van Harmelen is the founder of Youth and Earth, a leading supplement company focused on longevity.

    He developed an interest in health and ageing after living in different parts of the world and seeing varying approaches. Ed discovered research on the blue zones and hallmarks of ageing, which sparked his passion for learning about extending healthspan.

    Through his own experimentation with supplements like NMN, Ed found benefits to his energy levels and health. This led him to establish Youth and Earth after realising existing products did not meet his needs. Youth and Earth has expanded to offer supplements targeting longevity, as well as other health goals. Ed emphasised the importance of lifestyle habits like exercise, stress management, and social connection in addition to supplements. He also stressed personalising strategies based on testing and goals.

    Ed's journey demonstrates how personal experiences can motivate learning and building a business to help others optimise their health.
