The Future of Aging: How Science Could Prevent You From Growing Old

Описание: Most people accept aging as inevitable. Aubrey de Grey refuses to.

In this episode, the world’s most recognized longevity scientist breaks down why aging is a solvable engineering problem - not a mystery of biology.

Aubrey shares the moments that shaped his mission to defeat death, the science behind “longevity escape velocity”, and how AI breakthroughs like AlphaFold are accelerating humanity’s fight against aging.

He also reveals what he actually does to stay biologically younger at 62 — from cutting-edge diagnostics to his take on rapamycin, plasma exchange, GLP-1s, and Brian Johnson’s Blueprint.

If you’re a founder, technologist, or anyone fascinated by the future of the human body — this conversation will completely reframe how you think about aging, biology, and time itself.
