About this episode
Dr. Matt Kaeberlein is one of the world’s most respected scientists in the field of aging biology. In this episode, we unpack the real science of longevity — from mTOR inhibition and rapamycin to calorie restriction, biomarkers of aging, and what most people get wrong about lifespan vs healthspan. We go beyond the hype to ask: What actually works? What’s still theoretical? And where is the frontier of human aging research heading? Topics we cover: The biology of aging: mTOR, autophagy, senescence Rapamycin in humans: What we know and don’t Why extending healthspan matters more than living longer Matt’s views on supplements, diet, and biomarkers The most misunderstood concepts in anti-aging Referenced studies include: Dog Aging Project Interventions Testing Program Rapamycin human trial data *** I’m Louisa Nicola — clinical neuophysiologist — Alzheimer’s prevention specialist — founder of Neuro Athletics.
