Promising Developments in Longevity Research

Longevity is having a moment on social media right now with Silicon Valley paying teenage boys to have blood transfusions, experimental peptide injections, and all the predictable skin lasers and fillers. Most of these experiments will be useless, some will be harmful, but perhaps a few will actually work. Dr. Stephen Krichevsky joins this week’s podcast to help us separate the signal from the noise.

Listen and learn:

• What we can learn about aging from yeast, worms, fruit flies, and mice
• Does starving yourself really extend your life?
• What about NMN and rapamycin?
• Why stable weight might be more important than being thin as you age
