Why are pets and livestock increasingly developing the same chronic diseases as humans—obesity, diabetes, cancer and metabolic dysfunction? In this issue, we investigate the growing medicalisation of animal health, from longevity drugs and self-amplifying RNA vaccines to lab-grown pet food and the expanding WHO One Health agenda. This isn’t about medical progress. It’s about how the same forces driving the chronic disease epidemic in humans are now sweeping across the animal world because pharma has identified it as a lucrative growth market for the coming decade. When it comes to livestock, there’s no consideration of the effects on the food chain.
We also look at one of the most overlooked, but most powerful aspects, to healthy ageing: purpose. New research suggests that having a strong sense of meaning in life may help protect against cognitive decline, chronic disease and even premature death.
Plus, our latest natural health news roundup covers top stories such as:
• The ’Save Our Supplements’ campaign to stop EU moves to slash nutrient levels
• How vitamin D in pregnancy improves children’s health
