Aubrey de Grey is a world-renowned biomedical gerontologist, founder of the LEV Foundation, and one of the most influential voices in the field of radical life extension.

In this eye-opening episode, Aubrey breaks down the science of aging, what it will take to repair the body at a cellular level, and how rejuvenation therapies may let us live dramatically longer, healthier lives.

We dive into the controversy, the breakthroughs, and the timeline for when aging could actually be optional.

📌 Expect to learn:

– Why aging is a disease — and how we can treat it

– What “longevity escape velocity” really means

– How damage repair (not prevention) could let us live 150+ years

– Why AI and gene editing are speeding up anti-aging breakthroughs

– Why the public, not science, is the biggest obstacle to longevity

– Thoughts on Bryan Johnson and the quantified self movement

– How to prepare for a longer, healthier life — starting today
