Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@optispanIn this episode, Matt shares his thoughts on Peter Attia's AMA , exploring areas of agreement and differing perspectives on health and longevity. Topics include the significance of grip strength, biomarkers for health assessment, exercise strategies while traveling, and advancements in longevity research like Klotho and GLP-1 agonists. Matt also discusses the role of AI in healthcare and addresses concerns about direct-to-consumer biological age tests. The episode concludes with a discussion of foundational exercises and the interconnected nature of aging and health.Timestamps:0:00 Introduction1:24 Why grip strength matters for longevity5:50 Exercise strategies while traveling9:34 Most important biomarkers for health12:58 Advancements in longevity research: GLP-1 agonists and Klotho20:05 The role of AI in healthcare and longevity25:15 Debunking myths about biological age tests30:45 Top 10 foundational exercises for fitness36:13 Concluding thoughts and reflections on Peter Attia’s AMAProducers: Tara Mei, Nicholas ArapisVideo Editor: Jacob KeliikoaDISCLAIMER: The information provided on the Optispan podcast is intended solely for general educational purposes and is not meant to be, nor should it be construed as, personalized medical advice.

I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.On this podcast I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!
