We are Keeping People Sick Longer - We Need Medicine 4.0 | 78

Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@optispan Related episode: Defining "Healthspan" & its role in LIVING LONGER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI6CNFeBl88 Author and physician Peter Attia popularized the concept of "Medicine 3.0", the third in a series of distinct phases—Medicine 1.0 and Medicine 2.0 included—that describe the evolution of medicine as we know it. In this episode, Matt takes us through these phases and proposes a "Medicine 4.0" as the best next step beyond Peter's Medicine 3.0. He discusses the reactive disease care approach of Medicine 2.0, noting that while it has done a stellar of job of increasing life expectancy through developments such as widespread antibiotic use, sanitation improvements, and childhood mortality reductions, it has not been quite as useful at improving healthspan. People may stay alive for longer than they used to, but many of them spend this extra time alive suffering from at least one significant chronic disease or disability that significantly impedes their vitality and quality of life. Matt suggests several approaches we should take to kick off Medicine 4.0 and also presents an even longer-range version of the future: Medicine 5.0.

I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it. On this podcast I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!
