The Emerging Science Of Longevity with Peter Diamandis

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Athletic Greens,
and Rupa Health. What if I told you we’ll reach a point in time
where scientific breakthroughs will extend our lives by more than a
year, for every year we are alive? This is called longevity escape
velocity, and some experts think it’s only 12 to 15 years away. Of
course, getting to that point is multidimensional. It means
addressing health from all angles, with personal lifestyle choices,
technology, and more.  On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk
to Peter Diamandis about the future of longevity interventions and
why we won’t always have the same idea of aging that we do today.
Peter Diamandis is the founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE
Foundation, which leads the world in designing and operating
large-scale incentive competitions. He was recently named by
