#357 ‒ A new era of longevity science: models of aging, human trials of rapamycin, biological clocks, promising compounds, and lifestyle interventions | Brian Kennedy, Ph.D. | The Peter Attia Drive - Private Subscriber Feed (🔓 for Vijay Khakhria)

In this episode of The Drive, Peter Attia interviews Brian Kennedy, a biologist and aging research expert, about the complexities of aging and longevity research. They discuss Kennedy's move to Singapore to conduct larger clinical aging studies, the surge in longevity research funding around 2017, and different concepts of aging. The conversation covers the limitations of current aging biomarkers, efforts to develop more useful clinical clocks, and compounds like alpha-ketoglutarate and urolithin A. They also explore combining lifestyle factors and pharmacology, emphasizing VO2max, strength training, and GLP-1 agonists, as well as SGLT2 inhibitors, and the potential of rapamycin and other interventions to impact healthspan and lifespan.
