Dylan Livingston, Founder Alliance For Longevity Initiatives on Longevity Policy, Right to Try, and Scaling the Longevity Dividend

Dylan Livingston on Longevity Policy, Right to Try, and Scaling the Longevity Dividend Jason Wright interviews Dylan Livingston, founder of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (A4LI), about advancing longevity through policy rather than products. Livingston traces his interest from discovering Aubrey de Grey as a teen to COVID-era experiences with his grandfather, which renewed his focus and led him to launch A4LI in 2022 as a coalition of longevity biotech companies. He describes passing a California resolution prioritizing longevity and healthy aging, framing the goal as achieving a “longevity dividend” worth trillions through reduced healthcare costs and increased productivity, and argues therapeutics can democratize longevity more than intensive lifestyle protocols. They discuss Right to Try, its limits under terminal-only access and liability concerns, and A4LI’s work expanding access in Montana and New Hampshire for Phase 1-safe therapies. Livingston highlights AI-driven acceleration in biotech, cellular reprogramming with Yamanaka factors, and previews A4LI’s Georgetown DC summit featuring major companies, researchers, policymakers, and a Capitol Hill briefing on US-China biotech competition. 00:00 Cold Open Banter 01:05 Why Longevity Policy 02:17 Dylan Origin Story 05:39 Launching The Alliance 08:24 Sponsor Message 09:18 California Policy Playbook 10:49 Longevity Dividend Explained 12:39 Therapeutics As Equalizer 13:44 Moral Case For Healthspan 17:48 Right To Try Primer 21:17 Fixing Right To Try 22:23 Biotech Valley Of Death 25:22 AI And Medical Gatekeeping 26:01 AI Health Coach Teaser 26:35 Plan Aware Health Coaching 27:31 Longevity Goals And Motivation 29:38 AI Accelerating Biotech 32:10 Cell Reprogramming Breakthroughs 34:32 Aging As Root Cause Policy 37:10 Wellness Mindset And Agency 40:15 Prevention Limits And Lifelong Care 44:33 DC Summit Agenda Preview 46:24 Hill Briefing And Biotech Race 49:20 Wrap Up And Medical Disclaimer

Game Changer! 30 Grams of Protein First Thing In The Morning

Get your essential amino acids HERE and use promo code JASON for 10% off [https://shopauthentichealth.com/] 30 Grams of Protein at Breakfast: The Simple Habit for Metabolism, Muscle, and Longevity In this Healthy CEO podcast episode, Jason argues that “winning the morning” includes strategically timing nutrition, especially getting at least 30 grams of protein at breakfast, to improve metabolism, body composition, energy, and aging. He challenges the assumption that skipping breakfast or only drinking coffee until noon is always healthier, noting research suggesting how you break a fast affects fat loss, muscle preservation, metabolic health, cognitive performance, and longevity. He explains protein’s benefits—higher thermic effect, better blood sugar stability, and greater satiety—and links muscle to healthy aging, citing age-related muscle loss and the role of mTOR and leucine (about 2.5–3 grams per meal). He gives breakfast protein examples and suggests essential amino acids as a practical option for intermittent fasters to support muscle without a full meal, recommending a one-week experiment. 00:00 Morning Protein Setup 01:02 30g Breakfast Challenge 01:44 Fasting and Metabolism 02:54 Why 30g Works 03:56 Muscle and mTOR 05:05 What 30g Looks Like 05:24 EAAs for Intermittent Fasters 06:57 Longevity and Weekly Experiment 08:10 Wrap Up and Disclaimer

Should You Supplement for NAD?

Supplements Aren’t the Answer: Exercise, Blood Work, and the NAD Hype Jason Wright, co-founder and CEO of Authentic Health Partners, explains why he gets frustrated when people ask what supplements to take before addressing basics like exercise, sleep, hydration, diet, stress, and relationships. Using questions about NAD (often via NR/NMN precursors or injections) as the catalyst, he says there’s no panacea and nothing will outperform movement, sunshine, and avoiding over-nourishment; he notes calorie restriction is strongly correlated with longevity in studies but not proven causal. He describes Huberman’s NAD use as anecdotal and cautions against copying a “one person study” without considering the full lifestyle context and overall cellular health. Wright recommends getting blood work, consulting a physician, doing research (including randomized controlled trials), and keeping supplementation simple; personally he takes his company’s foundational stack plus creatine and glutathione, and warns GLP-1 users about under-nourishing and losing muscle. 00:00 Why Supplements Trigger Me 01:52 Fix The Basics First 04:09 Longevity Talk Calorie Restriction 05:55 NAD Explained And The Hype 08:49 Huberman N Of One Reality 12:32 How I Answer NAD Questions 16:02 What I Actually Take Daily 17:28 Cell Health Car Engine Analogy 22:21 No Panacea Holistic Health 23:47 GLP 1 Caution And Muscle Loss 25:47 Do Your Homework Closing 27:42 Medical Disclaimer

The Truth About Creatine and Other Popular Supplements: Dr. Jose Antonio

Creatine Beyond Muscle: Cognitive Benefits, Supplement Basics, and Pragmatic Sports Nutrition with Dr. Jose Antonio Jason Wright interviews Dr. Jose Antonio about creatine’s mainstream status, dosing (3–5 g/day vs. 10–20 g/day), and emerging cognition data, noting higher doses may be needed to raise brain creatine and benefits appear mainly under stress such as sleep deprivation, with vegans/vegetarians responding more. Antonio argues for a pragmatic approach that values RCTs but also real-world evidence, and debunks myths about “better” creatine forms (monohydrate is best studied), puffiness, and liver/kidney harm. He recommends focusing on exercise first, then basics like post-workout protein, creatine, a multivitamin, and omega-3s, with performance aids (sodium bicarbonate, beta-alanine, nitrates, carbs) depending on sport. They discuss EAAs, fasting, GLP-1 weight loss and lean mass loss, and Antonio’s current research on energy drinks (mostly caffeine), beta-hydroxybutyrate, and a planned creatine/eye-tracking study relevant to sports. Antonio invites listeners to the ISSN conference in Fort Lauderdale (June 17–19). 00:00 Creatine Comes Full Circle 03:56 Creatine Mainstream and Brain Dosing 05:33 Science Pragmatism Over Purism 11:17 Mechanisms Sleep and Vegans 14:40 Creatine Myths and Forms 18:00 Safety Kidneys and Liver 20:02 Simple Supplement Stack Over 40 28:27 EAAs Protein and Fasting 31:43 GLP-1s and Lean Mass Concerns 33:25 GLP-1 Lean Mass Tradeoffs 34:28 Body Positivity Backlash 35:46 Staying On Drugs Long Term 37:06 Building Exercise Habits 42:21 Health Over Vanity 42:59 Sponsor Authentic Health 44:30 Supplements Compliance Reality 48:08 Energy Drinks And BHB 49:57 Creatine For Eye Tracking 54:38 Training For Longevity 58:01 Lateral Movement And Balance 01:00:12 Conference Invite And Wrap 01:01:21 Medical Disclaimer

"Revolutionizing Health: Hannah Anderson on the MAHA Movement"

Hannah Anderson on MAHA, Prevention, and Cutting Through Healthcare Bureaucracy On The Healthy CEO, host Jason interviews Hannah Anderson, AFPI’s director of health policy and former deputy chief of staff for Robert F. Kennedy at HHS, about advancing MAHA from a wellness rallying cry into actionable policy. Anderson describes her Texas roots, her path into health policy, and the challenge of executing reforms inside a massive bureaucracy where incentives favor slowness and process can be used to obstruct priorities. She explains AFPI’s role in transition planning and in developing patient-first ideas, especially around prevention, wearables, and making healthcare dollars support proactive health rather than only government-defined “preventive” services under the USPSTF framework. The discussion contrasts U.S. acute-care excellence with poor prevention, critiques diagnose-and-prescribe medicine, and emphasizes practical, broadly accessible MAHA principles: solutions for everyone, realistic 70% adherence, and individual responsibility for taking back one’s health. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:44 Sponsor Foundational Stack 02:22 Meet Hannah On Air 04:55 Texas Roots and MAHA 06:20 From Spring to DC 08:09 Making HHS About Health 13:33 Cutting Through Bureaucracy 22:24 Why She Joined AFPI 25:56 Prevention and Wearables 29:07 Obamacare Prevention Rules 29:58 Symptoms Over Root Causes 32:23 Primary Care Burnout 34:17 Prevention Versus Rescue Care 35:13 Wearables For Self Insight 37:47 CGM Sleep Food Lessons 40:25 Data Driven Prevention Policy 48:21 Making Maha For Everyone 53:21 Incentives For Healthy Metrics 55:40 Take Back Your Health 57:13 Closing And Medical Disclaimer
