The Live Long podcast is devoted to health optimization and mastering the aging process. Peter Bowes discusses lifestyles and science-based interventions that promote a long healthspan - i.e. the number of years that we enjoy the best of health, delaying chronic diseases for as long as possible. We are pro-aging, not anti. Growing older is a privilege and we approach it with ambitious but realistic expectations. Enjoy every minute.
