How Are Biohackers Missing the Point (Aging Well Requires a Spiritual Approach )

Is living longer really the same as living well? In this thought-provoking episode—featured on both The Aging Well Podcast and …We Have a Spiritual Problem—Dr. Jeff Armstrong challenges the assumptions behind biohacking and modern longevity culture.From Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint to the often-overlooked teachings of Jesuit priest and evolutionary philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Jeff explores what’s missing in the pursuit of “eternal life”: meaning, connection, and spiritual depth. He critiques the biomechanical and techno-optimistic lens of aging and introduces a more holistic framework—SPIES (Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social wellness).If you're tired of quick fixes and quantified health, and you're ready to explore a vision of aging that’s integrated, embodied, and spiritually grounded, this episode offers a powerful alternative. Learn why aging well isn’t just about living longer—but living deeper.
