Nir Barzilai: Increasing Healthspan with Metformin in the Time of COVID

The founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine, Nir Barzilai is one of the leading
pioneers of longevity research and a proponent of regarding aging
as a treatable disease, just like any other disease. Nir has a
new book Age Later: Health Span, Life Span and the New Science of
Longevity. He is a strong advocate for using Metformin and
intermittent fasting as proven methods of extending health span
and life span. The future of aging will be to erase it at a
cellular level. We discuss how COVID has brought all this into
focus and what the heck the COVID toe is that I had. Let's get
into some science.
