Episode Details

Peter Allison and Peter Bowes – school friends 50 years ago, now contemplating the next chapter in life - return with another conversation about the latest science that could help us achieve a longer healthspan.

In this episode we discuss:

• Are our longevity goals too perfectionistic? We reflect on an earlier LLAMA podcast interview with Dr. Thomas Curran
• A National Institutes of Health study, published Oct 13, 2023 in Aging Cell, suggests even a small reduction (12%) in daily calories is beneficial for wellness.  
• Do you have what it takes to live to 100? An article in The Wall Street Journal by Alex Janin suggests, "It's Not Good Habits; Good genes matter more  the older you get."  How does that impact our attitude towards exercise and other lifestyle hacks to try to optimize healthspan?
