From How to Life Forever: The Longevinauts

Sobre este episodio

<p>When an astrologer tells Mangesh that he&rsquo;ll (probably) die early, he takes it in stride. But his family and friends (not to mention all the Don&rsquo;t Die longevity influencers on his FYP) feel differently&hellip; and besides, if science can keep his brain sharp and his tennis game strong for longer, why not take advantage? So he visits Dr. Nir Barzelai, the world&rsquo;s leading aging researcher, and Dr. Ron Primas, an elite longevity doctor, to figure out what he should do. Plus: A chat with Ken Reid from TV Guidance Counselor about age in pop culture, from the Golden Girls to &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve fallen and I can&rsquo;t get up.&rdquo;</p> <p>Disclosure: The experts we spoke with want to be clear that although they have some minor quibbles with Bryan Johnson, they&rsquo;re grateful for the fact that he&rsquo;s started the conversation on longevity. Any insinuation that he&rsquo;s got weird vibes is ours.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1">Listen to Ken Reid&rsquo;s podcast, <a href="https://tvguidancecounselor.com/">TV Guidance Counselor</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Learn more about Nir Barzelai&rsquo;s <a href="https://einsteinmed.edu/centers/geroscience/research/human-longevity-studies">Longevity Genes Project</a> and his book, <a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250413536/agelater/">Age Later</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Learn more about Ron Primas&rsquo;s <a href="https://drprimas.com/">longevity and concierge medicine practice</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Read Cynthia Kenyon&rsquo;s groundbreaking <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/366461a0">1993 study of worm longevity</a></li> <li aria-level="1">Check out the <a href="https://www.thekurzweillibrary.com/">Ray Kurzweil Library</a></li> </ul> <p>Special thanks to <a href="https://azadirecords.com/">Azadi Records</a> and <a href="https://linktr.ee/blisssamsa?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnAk6C4DXTX6m8NeOWJ0-skDMYgx5opCMGwkZ9tasSTyomtzXcE_krGMqkmfY_aem_lOvLBI_4bT1Th12lEIu5oA">Bliss Samsa</a> for their beautiful tracks, and <a href="https://botany.bandcamp.com/music">Botany</a> for the score.&nbsp;</p> <p>Episode collage art by <a href="https://www.vahinishori.com/">Vahini Shori</a>.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
