Podcasts about lifespan

In the late 1990s, a strange carbon molecule quietly delivered the single longest lifespan extension ever recorded in mammals. The rats lived about 90% longer, and almost no one was paying attention. This episode breaks down what that molecule is, why it works, and how it may upgrade mitochondria, sleep, and human performance when used correctly. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC and the original long-term manufacturer of carbon 60. Chris has produced this Nobel Prize–winning molecule since the early 1990s, supplying research institutions around the world years before it ever entered the biohacking space. He explains how carbon 60 behaves differently from traditional antioxidants, why stability and concentration used to be major problems, and how modern manufacturing finally made real-world use possible. Chris is also a published author, longevity summit host, patent holder, and longtime science communicator who brings rare clarity and humor to complex biology. Dave and Chris explore how carbon 60 interacts with mitochondria, oxidative stress, metabolism, and electrical signaling in the body, and where it fits alongside ketosis, nootropics, supplements, and functional medicine strategies. They also unpack why improving mitochondrial function often shows up first as better energy and sleep optimization, and how that foundation supports longevity, brain optimization, and Smarter Not Harder performance. Along the way, Dave shares his own early experience with C60, how he uses it today, and why it now shows up even in his Danger Coffee stack. You'll Learn: • Why carbon 60 produced the longest longevity result ever recorded in mammal studies • How mitochondrial efficiency shapes energy, sleep, and human performance • What makes C60 a selective antioxidant instead of a blunt one • Why purity, concentration, and stability determine whether a supplement works • How carbon 60 fits into biohacking stacks built around ketosis and metabolism • What users report first, from focus and resilience to deeper sleep • Why mitochondrial health underpins long-term anti-aging strategies • How to think about supplements through a Smarter Not Harder lens Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

What if the real question isn't just how to live longer, but why so many people are living longer and healthier lives on paper, yet feel depleted, inflamed, disconnected, or cognitively foggy in daily life?In this solo episode, Dr. Taz reframes what longevity really means and why healthy aging has far less to do with chasing more years and far more to do with protecting cellular health, vitality, and resilience across decades. She explains why humans are living longer than ever before, yet not necessarily living better, and how focusing only on disease management or biohacking trends misses the real drivers of aging.You'll learn why longevity is not defined by a number, but by biological age, health span, and cellular aging, and how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalance, nervous system stress, emotional disconnection, and loss of community quietly accelerate aging long before symptoms become diagnoses.This episode reframes longevity as a full body system, not a supplement stack or a protocol. One that integrates physical health, brain function, emotional regulation, spirituality, and community. When these systems fall out of sync, aging speeds up. When they are supported together, living longer becomes living with clarity, strength, and purpose.Dr. Taz shares: • What longevity actually means and why lifespan and health span are not the same • Why humans are living longer but not necessarily healthier • How cellular aging, inflammation, and metabolic stress drive chronic disease • Why diet quality, gut health, liver function, movement, sleep, and nervous system balance matter more than biohacking • How cognitive reserve, dopamine regulation, and emotional health protect the aging brain • Why community and spirituality are overlooked but essential pillars of healthy aging • Where peptides, hormones, and modern longevity tools fit and where they don't • How to build a longevity plan that is realistic, accessible, and sustainableWhether you're thinking about how to live longer, worried about aging faster than you should, or simply want to protect your health span as you move through midlife and beyond, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap.Longevity is not about optimizing harder. It's about supporting the systems that keep you well, year after year.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters00:00 Longevity is not about more years00:50 Are humans really living longer01:49 The global aging reality03:31 Why aging became something to fear05:17 Aging on a spectrum, not a number06:07 The hidden disease burden of aging08:31 Cellular aging explained09:45 Why biohacking misses the foundation11:10 The five-body approach to longevity13:10 Community, emotion, and aging14:05 Diet, inflammation, and cellular health16:19 Medications, gut health, and aging16:49 Fasting, calories, and longevity18:52 What eating for longevity actually means19:39 Movement and aging well21:35 Sleep, repair, and brain health22:50 Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention24:20 Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging26:49 Spirituality, community, and vitality30:05 Peptides, hormones, and future medicine31:58 A new vision for positive aging32:48 Longevity is built day by day (00:00) - Longevity is not about more years (00:50) - Are humans really living longer (01:49) - The global aging reality (03:31) - Why aging became something to fear (05:17) - Aging on a spectrum, not a number (06:07) - The hidden disease burden of aging (08:31) - Cellular aging explained (09:45) - Why biohacking misses the foundation (11:10) - The five-body approach to longevity (13:10) - Community, emotion, and aging (14:05) - Diet, inflammation, and cellular health (16:19) - Medications, gut health, and aging (16:49) - Fasting, calories, and longevity (18:52) - What eating for longevity actually means (19:39) - Movement and aging well (21:35) - Sleep, repair, and brain health (22:50) - Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention (24:20) - Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging (26:49) - Spirituality, community, and vitality (30:05) - Peptides, hormones, and future medicine (31:58) - A new vision for positive aging (32:48) - Longevity is built day by day

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the crucial importance of Omega-3 fats, particularly emphasizing their role in mental and heart health. She highlights a recent UK Biobank study demonstrating that higher Omega-3 levels are linked to a significantly lower risk of self-harm and suicidal ideation. Additionally, another study in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that elevated Omega-3 levels correlate with a reduced risk of atrial fibrillation (AFib). Leyla underscores the necessity of a balanced diet rich in Omega-3 sources like fatty fish and grass-fed meats, arguing that these nutrients are crucial for optimal mental and heart health.

AJP-Heart and Circulatory Physiology has been championing women's health research for many years, and in 2021 launched a special call for papers, which later became a standing collection in the journal, that has amassed over 100 peer reviewed publications focused on women's cardiovascular health. In 2024 the American Physiological Society launched the Women's Health Research Initiative aimed at addressing critical scientific gaps underlying health conditions that uniquely impact women. In this episode, Dr. Jason Carter (Baylor College) interviews authors Jenna Stone (McMaster University), Dr. Maureen McDonald (McMaster University), and Dr. Kerrie Moreau (University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus) about their recent Review article published as part of the Women's Health Research Initiative. Stone et al. discuss how traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors have been historically misidentified in females, the importance of certain metrics such as arterial stiffness and vascular endothelial function, and how early risk indicators are impacted during premenopausal period, pregnancy, and menopause.
