Summary
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta is joined by Simon Sakhai, founder of Jung+ Longevity, to explore a revolutionary approach to skin health. Departing from traditional anti-aging promises, Simon dives into the science of longevity and how understanding biological aging can reshape the way we care for our skin.
Simon’s journey began in sleep science but quickly evolved after learning about the “hallmarks of aging,” the core biological mechanisms driving age-related decline. These hallmarks—such as chronic inflammation, senescent cells, and NAD decline—have profound implications for skin health, influencing everything from wrinkles to systemic aging.
The discussion highlights why many current skincare solutions fall short. While traditional topicals address surface issues, the deeper drivers of aging remain untouched. Simon advocates for an inside-out approach, combining lifestyle changes and supplements to support cellular health. Key strategies include clearing senescent cells with compounds like spermidine, restoring NAD levels with niacinamide, and reducing inflammation with targeted anti-inflammatory nutrients.
Simon emphasizes that skin is more than just an outer layer—it’s a gateway to overall health. Environmental stressors like UV rays and pollutants create damage that contributes to aging throughout the body. By addressing these root causes, Jung+ Longevity’s innovative solutions offer more than temporary improvements; they aim to restore skin’s regenerative potential and slow systemic aging.
This episode offers a glimpse into the future of skincare, where science and longevity principles converge to create lasting, meaningful results. Tune in to learn how Jung+ Longevity is redefining the industry with holistic, evidence-based approaches to aging gracefully.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Skin Anarchy. This is Dekta, and I'm really excited because today we're going to be diving into the fascinating world of skin longevity and anti-aging science. |
| 0:13.5 | And with me today, I have the wonderful founder of a brand that's been on my radar for a long time, and I'm just such a huge fan of the brand and what they're doing and how they're really creating an impact in this space. |
| 0:25.0 | A lot of you might have heard of them. Young Longevity is the brand and the founder we have today is Simon. |
| 0:31.4 | It's like, hi, welcome to show Simon. I'm so excited to host you. |
| 0:34.2 | I am so excited to be here. What, what an honor. No, the honor is truly mine. I mean, |
| 0:40.0 | you have such an impressive background as a scientist and what you're doing with young, I think, |
| 0:44.7 | really truly speaks to the space of longevity science in the most meaningful way, in a way that consumers |
| 0:51.0 | can get the best of the best, right? And I would love to learn more about you. |
| 0:55.9 | And if you could, you know, kind of walk us through what led you to creating the brand |
| 1:01.1 | and just the background behind it. |
| 1:03.7 | Sure, absolutely. |
| 1:04.8 | Well, funnily enough, I didn't start out in longevity. |
| 1:07.7 | I was working in sleep. |
| 1:09.9 | And I happened to be a student at Oxford at the time. |
| 1:13.6 | I was working on a sleep diagnostic startup, working with a bunch of scientists to develop |
| 1:20.1 | this program that would allow people to diagnose their disorders without having to go to a doctor |
| 1:26.2 | because doctors basically don't know anything about |
| 1:29.2 | sleep. You go to the GP, they're like, oh, just like sleep at a good time and, you know, try to avoid |
| 1:34.2 | lights. In total, doctors only get about two to four hours of training in sleep medicine in their |
| 1:42.6 | entire careers. |
| 1:46.5 | But sleep is insanely complex. |
| 1:50.8 | So I sort of started, you know, in lifestyle medicine, sleep. |
