🚀 The Future of Aging: Can We Reverse Time?

My scale says I’m 12 years old. Science—and my 47-year-old body—might disagree. 😂

But what if aging wasn’t inevitable? What if we could slow it down—or even reverse it?

That’s exactly what I explored with Marco Quarta, longevity scientist & co-founder of Rubedo Life Science. His team is tackling one of aging’s biggest culprits: senescent cells (aka “zombie cells”)—which refuse to die and accelerate disease.

💡 What’s coming next?
🔬 Targeted longevity treatments—Eliminating zombie cells to reduce inflammation & extend healthspan
🧬 Aging biomarkers—Tests that predict diseases before symptoms appear
🏛️ Regulatory change—Aging isn’t yet classified as a disease, slowing innovation. That could soon shift.
🌍 Big picture—This isn’t just about looking younger. It’s about preventing our healthcare system from collapsing under an aging population.

The bottom line? Aging doesn’t have to mean decline. The science is moving fast—are we ready to embrace it?
