About the Guest
Leslie’s Kenny is an Oxford-based, Harvard-educated CEO and patient advocate whose life took a dramatic turn in her late 30s when she was diagnosed with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, told she had five years to live and that she could give up on having children. Refusing to accept this prognosis, she transformed her health by eliminating inflammatory triggers and supporting her body’s natural healing. Now 59, she has the biological age of 21, is autoimmune disease-free, and naturally conceived at 43.
Empowered by her health journey, she returned to school, became a certified Bulletproof coach and began working with Oxford University scientists, helping them raise funding for their groundbreaking research. In a meeting with Professor Katja Simon, she discovered spermidine, a powerful, natural compound dubbed as an “anti-aging vitamin” and found to “delay aging in humans” through its ability to activate autophagy (cell renewal) and target key aging pathways. Recognizing its potential, she founded Oxford Healthspan, launching Primeadine®, a plant-derived spermidine supplement, with the highest quality, Japanese ingredients and the backing of top scientific and clinical advisors. She also collaborated with University of Oxford academics to co-found a non-profit organization, called the Oxford Longevity Project, dedicated to educating the public on easy, actionable ways to improve their healthspan and longevity..
