Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2591215/fan_mail/new] Most people think aging is something that happens to them. A slow, unavoidable decline determined mostly by genetics. The science says otherwise.

From genetics and dementia prevention to strength training, fasting, supplements, and the habits shared by some of the longest-lived populations in the world, this conversation separates evidence from assumption and optimism from reality. You'll learn why lifespan and healthspan are not the same thing, what the hallmarks of aging are, why muscle may be one of the most important predictors of future independence, and why the foundations of healthy aging remain surprisingly simple. This isn't about chasing immortality. It's about building the version of yourself that will exist decades from now. Because the choices you make today are shaping the quality of the years ahead.
