Jan Gerber on longevity and mental health: why a calm mind matters – Feelin’ Good Dubai

Longevity is the buzzword of the health world right now, but in his latest piece for Feelin’ Good our founder makes the case that it carries a hidden trap: self-care that tips into stress-fuelled self-surveillance.

Jan traces how what our clinicians have named Longevity Fixation Syndrome stems from unresolved anxiety, stress or loneliness, with the body becoming the one part of life a person still believes they can control. Drawing on research linking mental health issues to earlier mortality, he argues that emotional distress erodes physical health long before we notice it, and that strong relationships and a sense of safety do more for a long life than any supplement stack.
