Longevity Salon #4: Developing neuroplasticity and cognitive flexibility for flow, purpose and quality of life
Longevity Salon is a curated gathering for people engaged in the science, practice, and future of human longevity.
This Salon brings together practitioners at the forefront of health optimisation plus hands on access to advanced medical devices, as well as meaningful conversation — in an exceptional setting on the 32nd floor observation level of One Blackfriars with prime views over the landmarks of central London.
Special bonus: every participant receives a FREE Exomind neuroplasticity development treatment valued at £500.
Host: Antonia Schultze-Mosgau, a neuroeconomist & psychologist and advisor to the Oxford Society of Ageing and Longevity.
Speakers: Dr Alberto Pertusa, neuroscientist, Exomind specialist and founder of the London Psychiatry Clinic and Reshape Clinic and Dr Edward Caddye, a medical doctor working at the intersection of metabolic psychiatry, neuroplasticity and health optimisation medicine.
Presentation
Metabolic psychiatry — the growing clinical case that mood, focus and cognitive decline often trace back to energy metabolism in the brain. What this means for diet, ketones, and mitochondrial health.
Neuroplasticity, made practical — what it actually takes to rewire adult brain circuits, and how clinical tools like Exomind (targeted TMS to the prefrontal cortex) combine with lifestyle inputs to create lasting change.
The science of flow — flow as a measurable, trainable brain state, and Dr Pertusa's "dopamining" framework for building more of it into ordinary days.
Top-down vs bottom-up — when to reach for cognitive levers (emotional regulation, psychological flexibility) versus physiological ones (metabolic optimisation, TMS), and why the strongest results usually come from combining both.
“I'm driven by helping people experience more flow in their lives. I'm developing a Mindgevity framework centered on a technique I call 'dopamining,' a gamified approach to mindfulness. Mindgevity is about the will to live, and to me it's as vital as physical longevity. It describes our capacity to stay resilient, curious, and connected as we age."

Stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) with TMS as delivered by Exomind is thought to promote mental well-being by strengthening a key executive control network involved in attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive flexibility.
Many people report improvements in focus, resilience, sleep quality, mood, anxiety, and anger management, potentially through enhanced regulation of the Default Mode Network (DMN)—the brain network associated with self-referential thinking, mind-wandering, and excessive mental chatter—and greater engagement of task-positive networks that support presence, flow, and goal-directed behaviour.
This shift is conceptually similar to changes observed in experienced meditators, who often demonstrate increased prefrontal control over internally generated thoughts. In simple terms, TMS may help the brain spend less time trapped in unhelpful rumination and more time engaged with the present moment.
“A breakthrough in my Mindgevity work has come through experiencing how Exomind can enhance our ability to access flow states on a day-to-day basis. What excites me is that we now have tools to directly influence brain circuits governing focus, emotional regulation, and motivation. These aren't just treatments for illness; they're interventions that can help optimise how we think, feel, and engage with life.”
