Women’s Healthspan, Longevity Hype and Building Credible Health Businesses with Corinne Briaud Manon

On Beyond Longevity, Corinne Briaud Manon discusses women’s healthspan through the lenses of science, consumer trust and commercial execution, drawing on her experience in major corporates and her work across Green Marlin, which advises health and longevity startups, and LongHER, a women’s healthspan community platform.She explains how the two initiatives connect, including how startups can test their propositions with real consumers, and outlines common early-stage pitfalls such as focusing too much on technical detail and not enough on real consumer need, lacking competitive awareness and structure, and letting passion override business discipline.The conversation explores what “science-backed” should really mean, why longevity is currently a kind of wild west with real credibility risks, and why women’s health needs to become a serious business if it is to address historic underinvestment.Corinne emphasises the importance of getting the basics right first for women, including basic health assessments, body composition, sleep, movement, strength and social connection, rather than spending blindly on superficial solutions. She also points out that access remains skewed towards the privileged and that prevention will need to be properly incentivised if it is to reach the masses.Instagram: @‌longher_collectivehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/corinne-briaud-manon/00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:38 Two Ventures Overview02:43 Ecosystem Linking Both04:17 How Longher Helps Startups06:20 Green Marlin Origin Story07:39 Startup Gaps and Fixes11:48 Passion Versus Business13:00 Spotting Real Innovation14:44 Authenticity in Longevity Clinics16:53 From Lab to Market18:53 What Science Backed Means20:56 Longevity Wild West24:09 Why Womens Health Must Scale28:01 Workplace Healthspan Shift28:30 Workplace Health Costs29:19 Menopause Support Programs30:57 Women Led Health Startups32:09 Beauty Versus Longevity Hype33:54 Muscle Health Foundations35:29 Where To Begin Basics39:17 Stop Wasting On Superficial41:14 Longevity Access Inequality45:19 Prevention Model Shift50:02 Future Of Longevity Trust51:49 Rapid Fire Takeaways55:32 Closing Reflections
