We often talk about health only when we're sick, but what if we could extend life and truly redefine what it means to age? Dr. Jaffer Khan explores the idea that the future of medicine isn't just about early diagnosis—it's about preventing disease altogether and rethinking how we approach aging. Imagine a world where living to 100 or even 150 is the norm, transforming not just our health but the very fabric of our lives, from careers to family and even societal structures.

Hear some of the ways that our Ambassadors' lives have transformed through the journey of realigning their circadian rhythm. The truth is that 100% of people living in the modern world are susceptible to the impact of Circadian Rhythm Disruption (CRD). Our relationship to key evolutionary principles such as light exposure, food timing, our connection with nature and our proximity to and use of technology are some (but not all) of the major reasons our species faces a worldwide epidemic of CRD. All sorts of amazing things begin to happen when you learn how to resolve Circadian Rhythm Disruption. We feel very strongly that it’s time that everyone in the world felt the full power and potential of a life that’s lived in rhythm. This is what led us to create The CRD Challenge - launching in 7️⃣ DAYS, on Sunday 20th October! Come and join thousands of others on this free, 21-day bite-sized educational journey designed to teach you how to realign to nature’s rhythms and empower you to take back control over the destiny of your health and happiness 🌞 🌚 We believe that by providing you with first-hand experience of the power of simple circadian health practices, you can transform not only your life but also the lives of your families and communities 🙏🏼 You can learn all about the challenge here… ▶️ thecrdchallenge.com … or directly register for the growing Skool community here: ▶️ skool.com/thecrdchallenge #thecrdchallenge
