When drug development companies promote their products, they understandably highlight the benefits and potential relief they offer. While these advertisements can make the products seem like game-changers for health issues, it's important not to swallow the marketing spiel whole. Question it, test it, poke and prod it to see if it holds up under scrutiny. Take the time to research the drug independently and examine what the press release or advertisement claims. Look for unbiased sources like medical journals, regulatory agencies, or reputable health websites that might provide a more balanced view of the drug's efficacy and safety.

Part of our mission at the Optispan Podcast is to encourage critical thinking about science, including and especially science related to health- and lifespan. In this episode, Matt puts the spotlight on a recent press release that made a splash in the longevity community: an announcement of a combination senolytic/NAD booster product that researchers suggested has the potential to reverse age-related decline in dogs. Matt goes over claims the press release and the researchers make, what the product might contain (spoiler: we're not sure), what we do and don't know about it, and his personal feelings about whether it should actually be on the market for pet owners to purchase.

This episode is Part I of a two-part series. In part II, Matt will go deeper into the actual research behind claims in the press release and examine how well it withstands critical evaluation.

Hi, I'm Matt Kaeberlein. I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.

On this channel I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these videos helpful!
