Episode notes

A lot of really cool stuff that's happening at the lab level will never make it into a human because mice are not humans. The predictability of whether or not something works in a human is not very good when you use a mouse model like dogs are allergic to chocolate. I know at least 20 different animal and Jevity companies that are going to go into Roblox as soon as they start thinking of going into into humans. Regulation regulation meaning the understanding that aging is a disease and making that a well-known fact for regulators so that they can fast track life saving technologies.

In this video, we delve into the frontier of longevity and the pursuit of living forever. The discussion of longevity sparks different reactions among people, with some rejecting the idea outright, deeming it unnatural or immoral.

At Zuzalu, two distinct groups emerged—the Health and Wellness tribe, focused on healthy lifestyles, and the longevity tribe, resembling crypto enthusiasts, passionately researching the silver bullet for eternal life.

We explore the two conversations of slowing down aging and accelerating rejuvenation, with a particular focus on the latter. Interviews with Patrick Linden, author of "The Case Against Death," Sergio Ruiz, an epigenetic reprogramming expert, and Michael Greer, founder of the Humanity app, shed light on the socio-cultural reactions, DNA reprogramming, and AI-driven longevity scoring.

While the pursuit of longevity faces regulatory challenges, its potential to eliminate diseases and revolutionize healthcare holds transformative power. The quest for extended health spans offers tremendous benefits for humanity's future.
