In this episode, Ben Hopkins sits down with longevity scientist Professor Matt Kaeberlein to unpack the biggest questions in aging, health span, and the science of living longer.
They cover the promise and pitfalls of biological age clocks, why resveratrol failed to live up to the hype, how to think about aging as entropy and resilience, and which interventions actually look promising today. Matt also explains where lifestyle, hormones, and medications like rapamycin, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, and more fit into a practical longevity strategy.
If you’re interested in evidence-based longevity, proactive health, and the future of aging research, this conversation is packed with insights.
