What The Luxe
What makes something worth more than the sum of its parts? Why do certain brands command belief whilst others struggle for attention? What does ‘luxury’ even mean? What qualifies? Investigating the minds, mechanics and mythologies of modern luxury, What The Luxe is a series of conversations with the founders, directors and creatives behind modern marques. Together, we unpack the psychology of value, the business of brand, and the spirit that drives today’s best-in-class. Expect founding stories, bold positioning calls, and the messy truths behind polished brands. Because whether it’s craft, commerce, psychology or lore—all roads lead to value. A weekly podcast from Matter Of Form. Hosted by Anant Sharma & Fred Moore.

S5E16: The Science of Longevity & Healthspan with Alejandro Bataller, Managing Partner at SHA Wellness

Alejandro Bataller, Managing Partner at SHA Wellness, tells of how a family health crisis in 2002 led to building one of the world's most comprehensive wellness brands. SHA's "proactive healthcare" philosophy challenges conventional medicine's reactive approach, focusing on healthspan over lifespan. With host Fred Moore, Alejandro explores the evolution of luxury wellness from sensorial experiences to data-driven longevity science, SHA's unique blend of lifestyle foundations with cutting-edge diagnostics, and how the brand maintains over 50% repeat clientele by positioning itself as a "lifelong longevity partner."

From the challenges of opening during the 2008 financial crisis to expanding across Mexico and the Middle East, Alejandro reveals the mission-driven approach behind SHA's success. The goal isn't just adding years to life—but life to years.
