Reshaping how we view aging and disease prevention

Michael Forbes is a seasoned entrepreneur with a successful track record in the medical industry. Graduating from the University of British Columbia with a BSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Michael began his career shortly after as a compounding pharmacist, developing treatments through a combination of drugs to deliver a more tailored experience for his clients.

At the time, conventional hormone therapies, particularly for menopause, relied on substances like estrogen extracted from horse urine — an option later confirmed to increase cancer risks. Forbes recognized the dangers of these treatments and turned to bioidentical hormones (compounds identical to those produced by the human body) as an effective alternative that would reduce risk and provide relief for his patients.

As his compounding pharmacy business grew, he quickly realized a gap in the healthcare system: a lack of doctors trained in this evolving field of bioidentical hormone therapy. Determined to fill the void, he began sending doctors to specialized training programs in the US, planting the seeds for what would later become the Ageless Living wellness centres.

Over the past decade, Ageless Living has grown into a cutting-edge facility that focuses on disease prevention, longevity medicine, weight management, and recovery. Forbes rejects the outdated model of traditional medicine, which relies on a reactionary approach where ailments are addressed once they have been discovered. Instead, Ageless Living champions a proactive strategy, focusing on early diagnosis and prevention as the key to a healthier, longer life.

“As cancer risks rise, being diagnostic and preventative is the key to a long and healthy life,” Forbes says, emphasizing the importance of pushing medicine into uncharted territory. His mission is deeply personal: to help people live their best, healthiest lives and leave the world a better place.
