I interview the leaders in aging research about the latest discoveries to inform us how to live a longer, healthier life.
This podcast features everything from weird and wonderful animals to the cells and molecules that make them up.
Aubrey discusses the implications of the different types of damage accumulating in our bodies and how aging research has evolved to focus on therapies rather than underlying mechanisms to help us reach the longevity escape velocity sooner.
