Stanford Doctor on RFK Jr: "He's Leading America Into a Health Catastrophe"

What if the future of healthcare is already here, just unevenly distributed?Physician-scientist and innovator Daniel Kraft joins Julian to unpack what’s actually happening right now in health, medicine, and longevity and what’s coming faster than most people realize. From AI-powered wearables and digital twins to personalized cancer vaccines and the rise of “health agents,” Daniel explains why he calls himself a now-ist, not a futurist: the tools to radically improve health already exist, but mindset, incentives, and systems are lagging behind.They explore the shift from reactive sick care to proactive, personalized health, the promises and dangers of biohacking culture, and why evidence-based medicine still matters in a world flooded with hype. The conversation also tackles big questions around health equity, misinformation, vaccines, and how emerging technologies like AI, genomics, and augmented reality could transform care, if we learn how to integrate them responsibly and humanely. What You’ll Learn:Why the future of medicine is about proactive, continuous care, not yearly checkupsHow wearables, genomics, and digital twins could enable truly personalized healthThe difference between evidence-based innovation and overhyped biohackingWhat AI can (and shouldn’t) replace in healthcare and the doctor-patient relationshipHow cancer screening, immunotherapy, and personalized vaccines are evolvingWhy incentives, not technology, are often the biggest barrier to better healthcareHow to think critically about longevity trends, supplements, and emerging therapies⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:26 The Art of the Possible in Health01:22 Why Daniel Calls Himself a “Now-ist”03:09 Curiosity, Gadgets, and Connecting the Dots04:18 What Are Omics and Why They Matter07:18 Wearables and the Shift to Proactive Health09:17 Why Doctors Don’t Prescribe Wearables (Yet)11:35 We Don’t Practice Healthcare, We Practice Sick Care13:39 The Danger of Over-Quantifying Your Health16:23 What the Future of Healthcare Actually Looks Like19:50 Why Human Connection Still Matters in Medicine22:18 How AI Will Change the Role of Doctors24:52 Hospital-to-Home and Care Anywhere29:41 Incentives: Following the Money in Healthcare31:45 Why Healthcare Is Ripe for Disruption33:40 The Rise of Health Agents and Personal AI34:30 What Is a Digital Twin?36:37 What a Cancer-Free World Could Look Like38:29 Cancer Vaccines, Genetics, and Early Detection40:20 Can We Really Cure Cancer?42:34 COVID Vaccines, Misinformation, and Science46:16 The Problem With Health Disinformation47:54 Why Correlation Is Not Causation50:27 Separating Science From Snake Oil52:50 How to Evaluate Health Claims Critically54:36 What Evidence-Based Medicine Really Means55:59 Simple Habits That Actually Improve Healthspan57:12 Longevity Hype vs. What’s Proven58:46 Gene Therapy and CRISPR’s Real Potential01:03:01 Stem Cell Therapy: What to Know Before You Try It01:08:59 AI, Protein Folding, and Drug Discovery01:10:15 AR, VR, and the Metaverse in Healthcare01:12:52 What Daniel’s Next TED Talk Will Be About01:14:41 Who Daniel Thinks About When He Does His Work01:16:38 Longevity Escape Velocity: Will We Reach It?01:19:03 What AGI Means for the Future of Health01:20:46 Daniel’s Final Advice for Living Healthier Connect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Daniel:Website: http://DanielKraftMD.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dkraft   X: https://x.com/daniel_kraft Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/danielkraftmd NextMed Health: https://www.nextmed.health/  http://Digital.Health  http://ContinuumHealth.vc

Asking World Economic Forum Visitors if Greenland Should Become a US State

Should the U.S. just take Greenland because it can?As the Arctic melts and critical minerals become the new oil, Greenland has gone from forgotten ice sheet to geopolitical prize. In this Davos street debate, world leaders, policy insiders, and global citizens clash over an unthinkable question: should Greenland become a U.S. state or would that cross the line into modern-day imperialism? Some argue it’s a strategic necessity in a world racing toward conflict with China and Russia. Others warn it would shatter NATO, alienate Europe, and revive the ugliest chapters of colonial history.What starts as a conversation about minerals and defense quickly spirals into something darker: who really gets to decide the fate of a nation? Is this about security or power? Cooperation or coercion? And if borders can change when resources are at stake, is any country truly safe?This street interview took place in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting, where global leaders, policymakers, executives, and media gather to discuss geopolitics, economics, and global risk. Featuring voices including Kerry Kennedy, @billboardchris, an Arctic defense and security expert, and many more.⏱ Timestamps00:00 Should Greenland Become a US State?03:26 Will the U.S. Invade Greenland?05:03 Europeans Speak About the Possible Invasion07:47 The Geographical Factor10:52 The Arctic is Heating UpConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.

MIT Professor on AI: "We Have 18 Months Before It's Game Over"

What happens when artificial intelligence stops being something we use and starts becoming something that shapes who we are?Julian sits down with Ramesh Raskar for a hopeful, wide-ranging conversation about where AI is actually headed and where it should go. Instead of leaning into the usual doomsday fears, they talk about a different risk, a future where intelligence is centralized, creativity is squeezed out, and people slowly lose their sense of purpose.They discuss what an “agentic” future could look like, one where everyone has their own AI agent working on their behalf, not owned by a company but shaped by personal values, goals, and lived experience. They talk about how this could transform healthcare, education, and work, not by replacing humans, but by amplifying what makes human contribution meaningful. There’s a strong emphasis on dignity, pride in craft, and why losing those things could be more damaging than job loss itself.Ramesh Raskar is an MIT professor, researcher, and inventor whose work spans artificial intelligence, imaging, robotics, and decentralized systems. He has led research teams at Google, Facebook, and Apple, and focuses on building human-centered AI technologies designed to support shared prosperity.What You’ll Learn:Why centralized AI risks reducing human agency and purposeHow decentralized AI agents could reshape work, education, and healthcareThe difference between efficiency-driven AI and human-centered intelligenceWhy loss of meaning may be a bigger threat than job displacementHow shared prosperity depends on ownership, not just accessWhat an “agentic society” could look like in practiceWhy AI literacy is essential for the decade aheadHow adaptability and learning-to-learn shape human flourishing⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:51 How Can AI Benefit Society?02:40 The Real Risk of AI Isn’t Doomsday05:45 From Using AI to Owning AI10:16 Why Centralized AI Fails12:25 The Rise of Personal AI15:10 When Work Loses Meaning17:38 Why Purpose Still Matters20:13 A World Where Everyone Has an AI Agent25:42 Inside an Agentic Society33:11 How Power and Bias Scale36:41 Why Decentralization Works39:07 Lessons From the Internet44:07 What the World Could Look Like in 203047:20 How AI Could Change Healthcare48:45 Collective Intelligence at Scale53:55 Who Wins When Data Is Decentralized56:45 How AI Doomsday Actually Happens01:01:44 Why Phase One Was Necessary01:04:20 Why AI Literacy Matters01:07:20 Learning How to Learn01:08:22 What Kids Should Learn Today01:10:05 A Simple Rule for the FutureWant to Follow Ramesh's Mission?Join here: https://nanda.mit.edu, projectnanda.org, join39.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/raskar MIT Media Lab: https://www.media.mit.edu/people/raskar/overview/Connect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.

Why Europe Could Become the Next Collapsed Empire - Razib Khan

What happens when economic decline, cultural identity, and technological acceleration all collide at once?Julian sits down with Razib Khan to explore the forces reshaping the US, Europe, and the wider West. They unpack why tariffs, zero-sum thinking, and reactionary politics may be symptoms of deeper structural decline, while also examining why optimism, migration patterns, and cultural norms have historically fueled American dynamism. From Brexit and European stagnation to the rise of populism and questions around national identity, the discussion challenges easy narratives from all sides.The conversation goes further, tackling some of today’s most sensitive and consequential questions: immigration and integration, multiculturalism, religion in pluralistic societies, and whether shared values still exist in the modern West. They also explore the role of personality, genetics, and culture in shaping ambition and innovation, before turning to the future—AI, automation, democracy, and what human flourishing could realistically look like in a rapidly changing world. Thought-provoking, nuanced, and deliberately uncomfortable at times, this episode invites listeners to think beyond headlines and engage with the deeper patterns shaping our collective future.What You'll Learn:How economic, cultural, and demographic forces are shaping the decline of EuropeWhy American optimism and mobility continue to drive innovation and growthHow identity, culture, and national values influence political movementsThe real impact of immigration on economies, integration, and social cohesionWhy personality, genetics, and openness play a role in ambition and successHow multiculturalism works and where it breaks down in practiceWhat human flourishing looks like in an unequal and rapidly changing worldWhether democracy can survive technological disruption and AI⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro03:38 Is the Fifth European Empire Collapsing?05:40 What “Make America Great Again” Really Looks Back To06:56 Does the US Have an Identity Crisis?08:30 Why Optimism Still Separates America From Europe13:38 Culture, Ambition, and the British Mindset20:23 Do Personality and Genetics Shape Success?23:21 Understanding Europe’s Structural Decline26:49 Why Language and Mobility Matter for Economic Growth30:33 Why the World’s Top Talent Still Chooses America32:20 Immigration, Culture, and the Math Behind Integration34:10 Can Multicultural Societies Truly Coexist?42:25 What the West Gets Wrong About Cultural Identity47:13 The Welfare State and Its Long-Term Consequences49:01 Is Immigration a Net Loss or Net Gain?52:48 Human Flourishing in a Divided World55:48 Religion, Secularism, and Shared Values01:02:32 Separation of Church and State Explained01:06:31 Gender Equality as a Non-Negotiable Value01:08:26 The World We’re Headed Toward by 203001:10:31 Brexit: A Necessary Risk or Historic Mistake?01:11:40 What Does Human Flourishing Actually Mean?01:14:06 Do We Need Struggle to Thrive?01:15:41 Competition, Conflict, and Progress01:19:58 When Victimhood Replaces Responsibility01:23:41 Bias, Fairness, and Modern Power Structures01:25:19 Is Democracy Dead in the Age of AI?01:31:58 Technology, Social Media, and Human Nature01:33:39 Final Reflections on the Future of the WestConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Razib:Website: https://www.razibkhan.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@razibkhansunsupervisedlearning  X: https://x.com/razibkhan  Substack: https://substack.com/@razib Razib Khan's Unsupervised Learning Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/razib-khans-unsupervised-learning/id1542136715

AI CAN’T SOLVE AGING… Unless You Do THIS First - Carina Kern

What if aging is not an inevitable decline but a solvable systems problem hiding in plain sight?Julian sits down with Carina Kern, a scientist working at the intersection of longevity research and medicine, for a wide ranging conversation on how aging actually works inside the body. Together, they explore why traditional medicine has struggled to address age-related decline and why treating one disease or one organ at a time may be missing the bigger picture. Carina introduces a systems level way of thinking about aging, explaining how cellular damage spreads across the body and why identifying key biological nodes could change how we prevent degeneration altogether. Julian and Carina also dive into Carina’s research on necrosis, a form of uncontrolled cell death that may sit at the core of aging and many chronic diseases. Carina explains how her team is developing a first in class anti necrotic therapy, how artificial intelligence is being used to uncover system wide interventions, and why the kidney has become a powerful model for studying accelerated aging. The conversation expands beyond Earth as well, touching on what space travel reveals about rapid aging and why protecting human biology may be essential for the future of human exploration. If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!  What You’ll LearnWhy aging is a multifactorial systems problem rather than a single diseaseHow traditional medicine struggles to treat age related degenerationWhat necrosis is and why it may drive aging and chronic illnessHow blocking cell death could protect multiple organs at onceThe role of AI in discovering longevity therapiesWhy longevity research needs scientific rigor over hype⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:27 Linking Longevity and Medicine02:44 Witnessing a Loved One’s Health Decline05:17 Introducing the Blueprint Theory09:03 The Hidden Risks of Unintended Consequences11:52 Which Hallmarks of Aging Matter Most18:59 Why Clinical Trials Still Matter20:48 If You Believe It Works, Prove It21:47 Inside Anti Necrosis Therapy26:54 Why the Kidney Matters in Longevity28:33 Targeting the Root of Degeneration29:29 Why Necrosis Drives Degenerative Disease31:06 Building the Right Team Around You33:27 Can Artificial Intelligence Solve Aging38:11 Do Astronauts Age Faster in Space39:29 Why Longevity Is About Interventions41:16 Preventing Debilitating Health Decline42:33 Rethinking How We Treat Disease45:23 How Scalable Is Anti Necrosis Therapy47:29 Why Longevity Is More Than Wellness50:38 When Does Necrosis Really Begin52:03 Is Aging an Engineering Challenge54:01 Focusing on the End Goal That Matters55:36 A Vision for the World in 203056:17 Where the Longevity Space Is HeadedConnect with Julian 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Follow Carina:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_carinakern  LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/carina-carla-kern YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrCarinaCarlaKern  X: https://x.com/CarinaCarlaKern LinkGevity: https://www.linkgevity.com/

NEUROSCIENTIST WARNS: We’re Changing Humans, and NOBODY Notices!

What does it really mean to be human in a world that’s increasingly lived through screens?Julian sits down with neuroscientist and author, Baroness Susan Greenfield for a wide-ranging conversation about the brain, technology, and the future we’re quietly creating. From the way social media shapes attention, identity, and mental health to how our brains adapt to the environments we spend the most time in, Susan breaks down why today’s digital world may be changing us more deeply than we realize.Rather than framing technology as simply good or bad, the conversation explores what we might be losing along the way. They talk about why boredom and daydreaming matter, how screens can crowd out creativity, and why being “busy” or “efficient” doesn’t necessarily make us happier or more fulfilled.Julian and Susan look ahead to AI, consciousness, and what the next decade could bring. Susan shares her perspective on whether machines can ever truly be conscious, how our sense of truth is being challenged, and why the real risk isn’t technology itself, but how we choose to use it.If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!  What You’ll Learn​How screens are shaping attention emotion and identity​How real world interaction builds empathy and resilience​The hidden tradeoffs behind convenience and efficiency​Why constant validation can weaken a sense of self​How boredom supports creativity and deeper thinking​What brain plasticity means for younger generations​Why AI is not conscious and what that misunderstanding reveals​What a more human centered future could look like⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:12 The Leading Cause of Brain Rot02:59 The Ill Effects of Long-Term Screen Exposure06:10 Mobile Devices Are Designed to be Addictive10:58 How Can You Link Screen Time to a Depressed Society?13:39 The Role of Industrial Evolution on Education15:20 Parenting in the Social Media Era19:26 What Does a Good Society Look Like?23:30 Let's Encourage Individuality  25:10 The Fear of Missing Out27:55 All Knowledge Comes From Experience28:37 How Do You Make Information Gathering Less Boring31:34 What Happens at the Onset of Cognitive Decline33:28 What Does a Brain Scan Say?34:55 What Will AI Do to People?37:52 Human Consciousness Remains a Mystery39:04 Can AI Develop Consciousness?40:59 Finding What You Like Doing and Excelling at It43:14 How Do We Define Our Identity?45:11 How Are You Going to Change the World?46:40 How to Leverage Your Voice to Make a Difference48:37 Expose Children to More Face to Face Interactions50:46 You Have to Learn How to Have a Conversation52:28 A Realistic Advancement in Treating Alzheimer's55:03 The More Anxious Generation55:46 Education Can Empower the Society56:53 The Future of Human Cognition57:41 Humanity in the Midst of AI Advancement01:00:37 Just Be Yourself and Have Fun 🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Episode Resources:Susan GreenfieldWebsite: https://www.susangreenfield.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baronessgreenfield/  LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/baroness-susan-greenfield-a96a99172Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BaronessGreenfield/

The #1 Pattern Keeping You Stuck in Survival Mode (And How to Break It)

Are you living life or living in a constant state of survival without realizing it?HRV expert and nervous system educator Salim Najjar helps unravel what’s happening beneath the surface. He opens up about how early childhood loss, Lebanese cultural conditioning, and years of nonstop striving wired him to live in a constant state of alertness. Through his story, he explains how the body holds onto unprocessed emotions, how ancestral trauma can shape our sense of safety, and why heart rate variability (HRV) is one of the most revealing signals of our internal world.Salim also breaks down the science behind chronic stress and why it quietly fuels inflammation, burnout, and emotional reactivity. More importantly, he shares practical tools, from somatic awareness practices to reframing and intentionality, that helped him rebuild his own nervous system and step into what he calls “nervous system sovereignty.”If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!  What You’ll LearnHow the nervous system shifts between sympathetic and parasympathetic statesWhy HRV is the most honest indicator of stress and internal healthHow childhood and ancestral trauma imprint on the bodyHow somatic awareness helps release stored emotional patternsThe five pathways for HRV growth: sleep, hormetic stress, reframing, intentionality, communityHow reframing experiences can instantly shift physiological stressWhy community and co-regulation are essential for nervous system resilience⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro01:04 What Your Body Is Really Asking For01:44 Growing Up as First-Generation Lebanese03:42 Inside Lebanese Family Culture06:20 How Healing Yourself Impacts Future Generations10:45 Why We React the Way We Do15:15 A Guided Somatic Awareness Practice17:33 Understanding Heart Rate Variability (HRV)19:13 Making Sense of Your HRV Score23:26 Chronic Stress: The Hidden Source of Inflammation29:00 What True Healing Can Look Like35:56 Two Powerful Ways to Reduce Stress40:29 How to Shift Into a Parasympathetic State42:58 The Transformative Power of Reframing45:54 The Intentionality Behind Your Actions49:06 Why Community Is Essential for Well-Being50:09 The Nervous System’s Deep Need for Safety55:01 How HRV Helped Sarah Reclaim Her Health01:12:01 A Gentle Reminder: Be Kinder to Yourself🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Episode Resources:Salim NajjarWebsite: https://thathrvguy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thathrvguy/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/salimm.najjar/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thathrvguy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/salimnajjar

Should We Hand-Pick Our Children’s Genes? - Jonathan Anomaly

What happens when the future of humanity is no longer something we wait for but something we can choose?When science gives us that kind of power, the real question becomes how wisely we’re prepared to use it. Today, Jonathan joins Julian to break down the fast-evolving world of embryo selection and what it could mean for the future of human evolution. Jonathan explains how IVF has grown from a niche medical procedure into a window into chromosomal health, genetic risk, and now polygenic traits that influence everything from disease risk to intelligence. They also revisit the history of eugenics, unpack the huge difference between past state-controlled abuses and today’s individual, non-coercive choices, and show why modern genomic tools aren’t about “playing God” but about making more informed, thoughtful decisions rooted in science.What traits should families even care about? How do we keep individuality alive when selection becomes easier? And what happens when science, politics, and markets start overlapping in ways society isn’t quite prepared for? Julian and Jonathan dig into the complexity behind intelligence, personality, mental health, and moral behavior, while also touching on industry controversies, regulation challenges, and the importance of transparency in genetic prediction.Jonathan Anomaly is a philosopher and researcher focused on the ethics of genetics, human enhancement, and emerging biotechnologies. He works at the intersection of science and philosophy, helping shape how genomic prediction and reproductive technologies are understood and responsibly used.If you want to join the free Beyond Tomorrow Community, check the link: skool.com/beyond-tomorrow for more!  What You’ll LearnWhat embryo selection is and how it differs from gene editingHow IVF evolved and gained public acceptanceWhy heredity matters for reducing disease riskHow polygenic scoring predicts health and traitsHow tech and society shape each otherThe risks and limits of gene editingWhat the future of reproductive tech may look like⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro00:00 What embryo selection really means00:00 Why IVF and gene editing aren’t the same09:31 How understanding heredity can shape better outcomes14:42 The natural spread of human intelligence22:19 Rethinking what it means to be human26:00 The concept of iterated embryo selection30:58 How technology and society evolve together36:10 A different lens on world wars and human behavior40:07 Choosing a child’s intelligence: what that actually involves44:53 The health risks and limits of gene editing52:33 Using AI with the right intentions for humanity’s future55:43 The concerns surrounding Herasight01:03:55 How future traits can be predicted in embryos01:07:26 What the future of gene editing could look like01:10:33 Why embryo choice matters for families🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa 📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast 🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 📩 Email: bookings@beyondtomorrowpodcast.com 🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more stories from the edge of what is possible.Episode Resources:Jonathan AnomalyWebsite: https://jonathan-anomaly.com/ X: https://x.com/JonathanAnomaly

The Science of Aging Has Changed Forever. Here’s What Comes Next - Andrea Maier & Matt Kaeberlein

What if the real secret to aging well isn’t found in a futuristic lab, but in understanding your body more honestly than you ever have before?From the very first question, this conversation challenges the assumptions most of us carry about health, longevity, and what it means to “measure” how well we’re aging. Instead of getting lost in the noise of biological clocks, trends, and high-priced diagnostics, Julian, Andrea, and Matt bring everything back to practical, evidence-backed fundamentals, the kind of markers any person can track, understand, and actually do something about. It’s a refreshing look at why knowing your sleep patterns, blood pressure, daily habits, and cognitive health may be more powerful than any shiny longevity product marketed today.Andrea Maier is a leading geriatrician focused on improving health span through practical, evidence-based approaches, and Matt Kaeberlein is a renowned longevity researcher exploring the biology of aging and interventions to extend healthy life.Their focus shifts to the future: personalized medicine, repurposed therapies, the role of AI, and the growing public demand for accessible, trustworthy health guidance. The ideas here don’t promise magic fixes or miracle pills; instead, they offer a roadmap for making better decisions, understanding your own data, and appreciating how much your daily environment shapes your long-term well-being. It’s an honest, grounded, and deeply encouraging exploration of how anyone can start improving their health span, no matter where they’re starting from.Big thanks for our sponsors of this episode Immortal Dragons.
