Dr. Eric Topol, the founder and director of the Scripps Research
Translational Institute, joins Kara to discuss reality versus the
hype in the booming longevity business ahead of her new CNN series
"Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever." Dr. Topol has written
several books, including his latest, "Super Agers: An
Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity," which explores the science
behind anti-aging and longevity. He explains why the biggest
breakthroughs in aging science focus not on extending lifespan, but
on extending health span and preventing the chronic diseases that
affect most Americans over 65. And Topol takes aim at the
“longevity lifespan circus” of pricey supplements and peptides sold
by wellness grifters. Kara and Dr. Topol also talk about how
inequality, poverty and the lack of universal healthcare in the US
impact health span, and what can be done about it. Questions?
