What this conversation covers
- Camilla describes bio-individuality as paying attention to what works for you, rather than copying an influencer.
- She explains that different biological-age tests measure different markers and can give different ages; her 16-year figure is a personal GlycanAge result, not proof of added lifespan.
- The conversation questions whether tracking can create anxiety.
- Camilla suggests making a joy list and giving yourself a small amount of time.
- She is candid about experiments she would not repeat.
