Welcome to Health Monocle
…a space dedicated to demystifying current health stories with a particular focus on the science of longevity. My aim is to help everyone live a longer and healthier life by bridging the gap between science and public understanding. As part of this, I’m interested in reviewing relevant research, tests and services and explaining the science behind them.

My name is Ibticem Boughellam. I am a pharmacist with a PhD degree, with over seven years of practice as a Health Editor in the pharmaceutical retail industry.
Get in touch if you have any ideas or there’s something you want to find out more about, and I’ll be happy to look at the evidence and write about it.
I look forward to hearing from you!
