Writer
Tomas Lars Hansson is the founder of Mad Goats, Fjord CleanUP, and Forge – Optimising Humanity, three Oslo-based initiatives built around adventure, community, environmental restoration, and long-term human health.
Tomas is known for his optimistic, future-driven mindset — shaped by a lifetime of reading fantasy and sci-fi, and a deep belief in what human collaboration, ingenuity, and technology can achieve. He believes the future can be radically better than the present, and that extending human healthspan is not only possible, but essential for humanity to flourish.
Core Areas of Expertise
- Longevity & preventative health practices
- Community building and grassroots movements
- Environmental stewardship (100+ tonnes cleaned from Oslofjord with Fjord CleanUP)
- Adventure sports leadership (kayaking, packrafting, whitewater)
- Practical biohacking, lifestyle optimisation & supplementation
- Turning mission-driven ideas into real-world action
Background
Tomas built Mad Goats from a small kayak initiative into Oslo’s leading paddling and outdoor company, while simultaneously co-founding Fjord CleanUP, one of Norway’s most active marine restoration groups.
His newest venture, Forge, brings together his long-term passion for optimal health, science-backed supplementation, and the belief that longevity should be normal, accessible, and part of everyday culture. Forge is built to help shift society from reactive medicine to preventative and regenerative health.
While Tomas is not a scientist, his strengths come from a different angle:
systems thinking, big-picture vision, relentless optimism, and the ability to build community movements that inspire action. He believes that breakthroughs in biotech, gene therapy, metabolic medicine, and cellular rejuvenation are inevitable — but they require cultural change and public demand.
Forge was created to drive that shift.
How Tomas Stays Informed
- Reading daily scientific newsletters, research summaries & longevity reports
- Following global biotech companies and regenerative medicine developments
- Regular conversations with longevity practitioners, biohackers, doctors, and founders
- Tracking his own health with full-body MRI, bloodwork, genomics, Oura data, and lifestyle interventions
- Hands-on experimentation with supplements, sleep, training, and recovery
Mission
Tomas writes about health, longevity, and human potential because he believes we are at the beginning of a new era for humanity — one where people can live much longer, healthier, and more meaningful lives.
But technology alone isn’t enough.
We need a cultural revolution where people expect preventative care, regenerative treatments, personalised health optimisation, and evidence-based supplementation.
Forge is built to help accelerate that shift.
What exists today is just the beginning of a long-term mission that Tomas intends to pursue for decades:
a healthier, longer-lived, more capable generation — built through community, science, optimism, and action.
