In this podcast, we connected with Gil Blander, founder of InsideTracker, a longevity company that creates evidence-based solutions that are simple, clear, and actionable.
Gil explains his personal motivations for working with longevity and how he witnessed a close family member facing mortality at a young age. He discusses his journey of studying biology that led him to earn his PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science and work at one of the most renowned aging labs in the world, the Leonard Guarente Lab, at MIT.
Moreover, Gil shares his extensive scientific knowledge of how blood biomarkers and genetics affect longevity and explains how he built his own biological clock calculator called 'inner age'.
Lastly, the discussion centers around how InsideTracker is using data from wearable devices, his thoughts on TRT and hormone therapy, and shares the future plans for InsideTracker.
