In a world where aging is often seen as inevitable, Dr. José Hernández Poveda is challenging that notion. A renowned neurosurgeon and longevity expert, he has set up a groundbreaking longevity program in Mallorca, helping individuals extend their lifespan while improving their quality of life. By combining advanced diagnostics with cutting-edge science, he offers a holistic approach to health, ensuring that aging is not just about adding years, but making those years vibrant, active, and fulfilling. His Age Reversal Program is the first of its kind in Spain, pioneering a new approach to longevity that goes beyond conventional medicine.
A neurosurgeon’s journey to longevity
Dr. Poveda´s journey into longevity medicine began in the emergency room. As a neurosurgeon, he witnessed the devastating effects of ruptured brain aneurysms—sudden, often fatal events that could have been prevented with early detection.
Determined to take a proactive approach, he underwent an MRI himself. The scan was clear, but the experience was eye-opening. Why wasn’t modern medicine focusing on prevention rather than just treating diseases once they appeared?
Driven by this realisation, he designed a precision medicine program to detect health risks early. But another crucial question arose: What’s the point of preventing diseases if aging itself remains unchecked?
His search for answers led him to Dr. David Sinclair, a Harvard longevity researcher. The idea that aging could not only be slowed but even reversed fascinated him. Inspired, he developed the Age Reversal Program, an approach combining medical diagnostics with the latest advancements in longevity science.
The science of living longer
Dr. Poveda´s longevity program follows a Longevity Pyramid, starting with mental health, exercise, diet, and sleep. Using wearable technology, his team tracks key health markers in real time for personalised interventions.
The next step involves full-body MRIs, genetic testing, and metabolic analysis to identify hidden risks. The final phase incorporates cutting-edge longevity therapies, from hormone optimisation to medications targeting aging mechanisms. Participants of the program can expect enhancements in cognitive function, improved physical condition and energy levels, and even the ability to detect and treat potential disease long before symptoms manifest.
While controversial biohackers like Bryan Johnson have gained widespread media attention by pushing extreme interventions, Dr. Poveda stays grounded in science. “Longevity should not mean sacrificing the joy of living,” he says with a smile. His approach isn’t about chasing immortality—it’s about making every year count.
Breakthroughs in epigenetic reprogramming—which aims to reset cells to a younger state—are on the horizon. He believes that within a decade, a pill could rewind biological aging by ten years. “There will come a time when aging is not an inevitability but a choice,” he tells us.
What about those without access to high-tech diagnostics? “We can control around 80% of aging through lifestyle,” he emphasises. The best tools? Strength training, quality sleep, stress management, and nourishing foods. “It’s not about perfection,” he says, “it’s about consistency.”
At 33, Dr. Poveda is confident he’ll live to at least 120—and with his program, he’s determined to help others do the same, right here in Mallorca.
