Doctor Reveals: The Dark Side Of The Longevity Industry

Just back from the tour of the longevity world! In this episode, we discuss my recent travels to two major conferences: the high-end Longevity Investors Conference in Gstaad, Switzerland, and the academic GJAM Conference in Jena, Germany.

We unpack the stark contrasts between these two worlds, from the venues and treatment of attendees to the fundamental divides in how people perceive and practice "longevity." I share my key takeaways on the growing chasm between real science and snake oil, the "apologist" perspective, and why I believe the term "Longevity Medicine" is already developing a bad reputation.

We also cover:

  • The ethical problem with using biological age clocks in clinical practice today.

  • My experience going through the comprehensive health assessment at the Years Clinic in Berlin.

  • Surprising VO2 Max results and a hilarious (and slightly alarming) story about getting a full-body MRI in Germany.

  • The disconnect between academic geroscience and the biohacking community.

  • My thoughts on the future of validated biomarkers.
