On the heels of the weekend premiere of her new CNN series, “Kara
Swisher Wants To Live Forever,” Kara brings together a panel of
experts to talk more about longevity, anti-aging, and the money
that’s pouring into the wellness industry. Katie Couric is a
journalist. She’s also been a longtime advocate for early cancer
screenings since her first husband died of colon cancer and she was
diagnosed with breast cancer. Amy Larocca is an award-winning
journalist and author of the book, “How To Be Well: Navigating Our
Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure At A Time.” And Kara’s
brother, Dr. Jeffrey Swisher, is chairman of the Department of
Anesthesiology at California Pacific Medical Center in San
Francisco. He recently caught a so-called “widowmaker” heart attack
before it happened, and his wife has also been diagnosed with stage
3 colon cancer. Kara, Katie, Amy and Jeff talk about the explosion
of health misinformation online and why people have become so
skeptical of medical experts. They also talk about the promising
health care science on the horizon and the real secrets to living a
long, happy life. Questions? Comments? Email us at
