health practices. Dr. Wagner provides insight into the vast and
evolving landscape of health, blending the science with his
personal and practical commitment to healthspan, as we explore

Key Moments:


“The best drug you can have is exercise, and so I try to stay fit
with both aerobic and strength resistance training because I
think both are important. You know, as you get older, one of the
major causes of death is falling, certainly over the age of 65.”


“When it comes to healthspan and longevity, we're probably never
going to have great randomized placebo-controlled studies because
simply nobody's going to pay for that and it would take way too
long to start people at 50 and then follow them for 40 or 50
years to see who lives longer; that would be hard.”


“I started statin when I was 35, I'm 49 now, just because I had a
strong family history of heart disease and that was most likely
going to be the thing that would kill me later in life.”


“I take statins because there are hundreds of different
randomized placebo-controlled, well done studies that show a
direct correlation: the lower you get your LDL, the less likely
you are to have a cardiac event. You know, what we call MACE, or
a major adverse cardiac event. So the lower you go the better.”
