Youth & Earth: Supplements For Taking Control Of Your Health

Youth & Earth is an entry in our Great British Brands 2023 book.

Youth & Earth: Great British Brand 2023

‘I turned 50 and created a brand that was essentially for me and my demographic, about improving healthspan along with lifespan; focusing on the molecules you lose naturally as you get older. The business is growing, with record sales – 90 percent online, five percent from retailers such as Revital and five percent through practitioners. We’ve got good products that prioritise energy and longevity; our return customer rate is around 60 percent. My main challenge is working out where and how to advertise to them.

‘I don’t like the term “anti-ageing”. It’s more about ageing well, redefining the process so that my story will be different from my parents’. I’ve been working out since I was 16, when the first gyms were opening in London and Men’s Health magazine launched. It was a new generation that was more interested in health. I’m alright with being 50 as long as I’m healthy. Age doesn’t have to be a definer – you can start a hobby or business or go travelling at any age if you have your health. You’re not going to reverse the clock – you become more realistic as you get older! – but you want to slow it down. I’m saying you can carry on by preserving what you have.

‘I’m building a welltech platform, Optimally Me, to provide tools for people to self-discover their health and act preventatively. This also reflects my journey: believing I was bulletproof until, in my 40s, I discovered I wasn’t. Understanding your health is power, and gives you more confidence. The process starts with a blood test – iron, cholesterol, blood sugar, hormones etc – benchmarked against 15 biomarkers. A visual results heatmap comes with personalised recommendations from researchers, doctors and scientific experts. It’s a great way of monitoring the efficacy of the supplements or skin products you’re using. Everything we’re doing is in the forefront of change.’ Edward van Harmelen, founder.
