Michael Forbes, founder of Ageless Living, champions a proactive approach to disease prevention, longevity medicine, weight management and recovery through bioidentical hormone therapy
Achieve a healthy weight, balance your hormones, rejuvenate your skin. The power to shape our body, mind and spirit—and own the aging experience—is in our hands. As much as 80% of health is influenced by how we live each day, which means if we want well-being, it is ours for the taking.
Michael Forbes, a seasoned entrepreneur with a successful track record in the medical industry, is founder of Ageless Living—a wellness clinic that provides the tools, technologies, and guidance to live your best life using naturally-derived sources. Graduating from the University of British Columbia with a BSc. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Forbes began his career 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. These hormones offered a safer solution for patients given that they were derived from natural sources. Moreover, these compounds could not be patented by pharmaceutical companies, making them a more cost-effective and accessible solution.
However, there was a problem. 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 United States, planting the seeds for what would later become the Ageless Living wellness centers.
Ageless Living has grown into a cutting-edge facility that focuses on disease prevention, longevity medicine, weight management and recovery. As the world of medicine accelerates, Forbes is committed to staying ahead of the curve. He rejects the outdated model of traditional medicine which relies on a reactionary approach where ailments are diagnosed once they have been discovered.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. Under his leadership, Ageless Living continues to lead the charge in innovative healthcare, reshaping how we view aging and disease prevention.
