As a teenager Chris Mirabile developed a "humble appreciation of life" that turned into a life-long dedication to biohacking and self-experimentation.   He survived a brain tumor at the age of 16 - an experience that piqued his interest in longevity research and eventually to the launch of NOVOS, a nutraceutical company that targets the biological causes of aging to increase longevity.  An appreciation of science and peer-reviewed research has seen Chris emerge as a leading voice in the pursuit of healthy aging and longevity. 

In this interview we cover:

• Recovering from a brain tumor - Chris's lightbulb moment.
• Evolving interest in human longevity - seminal article Cell - Hallmarks of Aging
• How an invincible attitude as a teenage morphed into a humbling appreciation of life
• Tacking the US Marine Corps benchmark for fitness
• Nurturing an interest in biohacking through citizen science and self experimentation
• The lifestyle interventions to make the biggest impact on health
• The value of strong healthy relationships and social tied to the community
• How our definition of moderation (in everything) is shifting and changing
• The value of recovery over pushing too hard to achieve optimum fitness
• Adding a billion years of healthy life to humanity
• How longevity plays a role in how your look
• Clarifying the differences between biological and chronological age
