JOSH DUHAMEL MAY be 52 years old, but he’s not looking to slow down any time soon. The actor, who’s best known for his role in the Transformers series and who recently starred in Netflix’s Ransom Canyon, was a featured speaker at the Men’s Health Lab, where he spoke with Men’s Health Editorial Director Richard Dorment about some vital advances in modern health, and how he (and lots of men) are really starting to embrace them.
One thing particularly important and pressing, though, is longevity.
“Especially in the generation below us, they’re really conscious of their health and their wellness,” Duhamel said at the event. “It’s crazy to think anybody’s gonna live to be 100 years old—very few people do. But 20-30 years from now, that’s going to be the norm, because of all these these breakthroughs and new science.”
Duhamel’s new wellness company, Gatlan, specializes in treatments that aim to help men with hormone optimization, medical weight loss, and hair thinning remedies.
With two sons, one born in 2013 and another born in 2024, Duhamel said that a major part of his interest in longevity is rooted around wanting to be able to keep up with the two of them as they grow up for as long as he can.

“People are going to be living to 100, but living to 100 and being bedridden is not anybody’s goal, right? They want to be able. They want to be able to be vibrant, and they want to be engaged, and they want to feel good as long as possible,” Dorment added. “The services that Gatlan is providing, particularly hormone optimization, go a long way to enriching what is called health span.”
“It’s one thing to live that long, but you want to be able to be out there doing things,” Duhamel said, before noting his 17-month-old son. “A lot of my buddies think it’s crazy that I have a kid—I’m still changing poopy diapers, but I love it. I have to, for them, stay as able for as long as I can.”
Hosted during National Men’s Health Week, the Men’s Health Lab was sponsored by the Bermuda Tourism Authority, Beyond Meat, and NYU Langone Health.
