Why Centenarians Are Defying Science: Secrets to Living 100+

It was a pleasure to sit down with Dr. Nir Barzilai for a
conversation that turned out to be both lively and
thought-provoking. His decades of research on centenarians,
biological age, and the hallmarks of aging have shaped how we think
about longevity—and what’s possible when we start targeting aging
itself, not just individual diseases.

We get into the science behind why some people live 20–30 years
longer and healthier, and what it means to measure the biological
age of individual organs. But we also hit a few sparks—especially
when it comes to nutraceuticals and the role of metformin in
prevention. I don’t agree with everything you’ll hear, and I
followed up with Dr. Barzilai afterward to unpack some of the
more provocative claims. We may just need a second round for this
one... stay tuned.
