960 Leslie Kenny: Living Longer, Better
Clean Ingredients, Ethical Supply Chains, and Transparency in Labeling
Who doesn’t want a long, healthy life? The business of longevity is booming as people look for surefire ways to halt the aging process.
There are lots of compelling promises out there from supplement manufacturers and marketers, so how do we know what really works and what doesn’t?
Leslie Kenny is busy redefining the longevity landscape—as transparent and ethical with clean ingredients and supply chains. She is the CEO and Founder of Oxford Healthspan, the company that makes the game changing food-derived spermidine supplement, Primeadine. Spermidine activates autophagy and targets nearly all of the key aging pathways, earning it the nickname “the anti-aging vitamin.”
Leslie’s on a mission to help the world reverse the aging process after she herself reversed her own Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and infertility—giving birth naturally at 43. Now 60, with a biological age of 21, Leslie shares her remarkable journey from her diagnosis during a pivotal IVF round to discovering breakthrough science at Oxford University and launching her own premium supplement brand, Primeadine. We dive into the science of aging, explore the power of the base ingredient spermidine, and hear Leslie’s firsthand perspective on regulating the immune system, reversing inflammation, and overcoming the challenges of bringing an innovative health product to market.
🔑Key Takeaways🔑
🌱 ✨Spermidine, the Miracle Anti-Aging Ingredient: Learn about Leslie’s discovery of spermidine (now branded as Primeadine) and how food-derived compounds can help slow—and even reverse—the biological aging process.
💡🌐 Ethical Supplement Development: How Leslie’s commitment to transparency and quality in the supplement industry is changing the game. Learn how she refused to cut corners with fillers or manufacturing shortcuts, ensuring her products are safe, well-researched, and truly beneficial—even if that means lower margins and a slower process. Plus, how Japanese longevity principles influenced her philosophy and product development.
📚 🤟 Consumer Education Matters: Bringing a new category of product to market isn’t just about sales—it’s about teaching people what’s possible. From changing perceptions around aging to demystifying scientific terminology, Leslie’s educational approach sets her apart as both a scientist and a leader.
Leslie is also Co-Founder of the non-profit, Oxford Longevity Project, alongside Oxford
University scientists and doctors. Both are part of Leslie’s mission to educate the public on improving health span and longevity through the latest actionable and accessible breakthroughs in longevity science.
