Simon Cowell has revealed a surprising method he’s using to fight the signs of aging — a blood filtering treatment that he credits for helping him feel younger and more energized.
The 66-year-old entertainment powerhouse, best known for his roles on The X Factor and American Idol, shared the details of his wellness routine during an appearance on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast. Simon explained that he visits a specialized clinic where his blood is drawn, thoroughly filtered, and then reintroduced into his body. This procedure is part of a comprehensive health assessment that assigns him a biological age, allowing him to track his progress.
“I go to this wellness clinic where they actually take your blood, they rinse it, they filter it, they put it back into your body,” he said. “You do all these tests and they tell you your age — so I’ve actually aged backwards by eating better, more exercise, less stress, certain supplements.”

Simon credits this approach with preserving not only his physical health but also his mental sharpness and energy. “My brain is still there, I still have the energy,” he added.
The music mogul also revealed that he once considered cryogenic preservation as a way to cheat death, though he changed his mind after learning the process involves decapitation. “I actually was going to freeze myself. I thought, ‘Why not?’ Then I found out they chop your head off, so you come back in two thousand years as a floating head. I’m like, ‘No, I don’t want that,’” he joked.
Beyond his wellness efforts, Simon reflected on the profound impact fatherhood has had on his life. Sharing his thoughts on his 11-year-old son Eric and fiancée Lauren Silverman, he said, “I’d be lost if I hadn’t had Eric, and Lauren, the two of them. I’d reached a point in my life I felt lost, I was getting very down.”
He described the joy Eric brings him: “When I hear Eric laugh and I see him happy, there’s nothing that compares to that. Everything about you as a human being changes. You’re there to protect him and guide him, hopefully steer him in the right direction.”
In a more introspective moment, Simon revealed he often seeks inner peace through daily conversations with himself and his “guardian angel.” Speaking to HELLO! magazine, he said, “I talk to myself every day and say, ‘I just want peace.’ I have a guardian angel, and I talk to it about peace. That’s all I want.”
