Dr. Sandra Kaufmann is back for round two. She's the creator of the Kaufmann Protocol, author of three books on the science of aging, and a longevity physician.
In addition to her clinics in Miami and Las Vegas, she also runs Club Exosome, a quarterly gathering of longevity fanatics she calls a modern French salon.
This is a conversation for anyone who wants to understand not just what to take, but also why and how to think about longevity at a level that actually moves the needle.
