When it comes to living longer and staying healthier as we age, our genes aren’t the only thing that matter. In fact, epigenetics, the science of how lifestyle and environment affect gene expression, may be one of the most powerful drivers of your health span.

In the UK, interest in longevity is rapidly growing, with more people looking beyond genetics and turning to lifestyle strategies, nutrition, and longevity supplements like NAD+ to enhance their chances of living well for longer.

At MUTO Longevity, we’re at the forefront of this movement, bringing together cutting-edge science, smart supplementation, and holistic strategies to help people optimise their biology and take control of how they age.

What Is Epigenetics?

Epigenetics refers to chemical changes that influence how your genes are turned on or off, without altering your DNA itself. Think of it like a light dimmer for your genes: your environment, diet, stress, sleep, and exercise habits all influence how your genetic “lights” are dialled up or down.

These epigenetic changes play a major role in ageing, inflammation, metabolism, and even how well your brain functions over time.

Epigenetics and Ageing

Ageing isn’t just about accumulating years, it’s about the gradual decline in your body’s ability to function. This decline is driven in part by epigenetic drift, the loss of precision in how genes are regulated over time.

However, recent science shows that healthy lifestyle choices can slow this drift, even reverse biological ageing in some cases. This is the foundation of MUTO’s mission: to empower individuals with the tools and knowledge to extend their health span through personalised, evidence-based longevity solutions.

How Your Lifestyle Shapes Your Longevity

Here’s how everyday choices directly influence your epigenetic expression and, ultimately, your health span:

1. Nutrition

• Diets rich in polyphenols, healthy fats, and lean protein can help maintain youthful gene expression.
• Intermittent fasting and calorie control have been shown to positively impact epigenetic markers.
• At MUTO, we formulate longevity supplements in the UK, including advanced NAD+ support, to complement these habits and enhance cellular function.

2. Exercise

• Regular movement, especially resistance training and aerobic activity, activates longevity genes (like SIRT1 and PGC-1α).
• Exercise improves mitochondrial function and promotes better epigenetic signalling, cornerstones of the MUTO approach.

3. Sleep

• Poor sleep accelerates epigenetic ageing.
• Prioritising 7–9 hours of quality sleep supports hormone balance, immunity, and cellular repair.

4. Stress Management

• Chronic stress and cortisol dysregulation can silence protective genes.
• Practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and cold exposure tools we promote at MUTO improve your stress response and gene resilience.

The Role of Supplements in Longevity

In the UK, demand is rising for longevity supplements that support healthy ageing. One of the most promising is NAD+, a molecule essential for energy production and DNA repair.

As we age, NAD+ levels naturally decline, contributing to fatigue, cognitive decline, and reduced cellular function. That’s why MUTO’s first product line is focused on optimising NAD+ levels, enhancing mitochondrial health, and supporting epigenetic integrity.

Our supplements are designed to work with your lifestyle, not replace it – backed by science, manufactured in the UK, and crafted for those serious about living with intention and energy for decades to come.

Can We Reverse Ageing?

While we can’t stop time, emerging evidence shows that we can slow, and in some cases reverse, aspects of biological ageing through epigenetic changes. A 2019 study showed that a lifestyle intervention including diet, exercise, stress management, and supplements, reversed participants’ biological age by over 3 years in just 8 weeks.

At MUTO Longevity, our approach is built around this science. We help people activate the levers they can control – nutrition, movement, stress, and supplementation, so they can rewrite their own ageing narrative.

Final Thoughts: Age Well, Live Long

Understanding epigenetics puts the power back in your hands. Your genes are not your fate. From what you eat to how you recover, your lifestyle creates real, measurable changes in how you age.

MUTO Longevity exists to make these tools more accessible, effective, and actionable – starting with advanced NAD+ UK supplements, personalised protocols, and science-led education.

You’re not just adding years to your life, you’re adding life to your years.
