Biological Aging Clocks: Research vs. Direct-to-Consumer

In this episode, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, CEO of OptiSpan and co-director of the Dog Aging Project, and Joe explore the fascinating realm of rapamycin and its implications for longevity and healthspan.

Dr. Kaeberlein delves into the biological mechanisms underlying rapamycin's effects, the best way to take it, and its impact on immune system processes.

Gain insights from Dr. Kaeberlein's research on the mTor mechanism and rapamycin, uncovering their promising potential in extending healthspan and enhancing lifespan.

Finally, Matt and Joe discuss aging clocks, biomarkers, and microbiome tests, evaluating their significance in the context of aging research and longevity enhancement.
