Season 1 Episode 279

Longevity is having a moment, from Bryan Johnson to glossy Netflix docs like Don’t Die, there’s a lot of glitz and glam in and around the longevity space. But that also means there’s a lot of bs and bluster. My guest, Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, brings decades of clinical wisdom and a grounded, science-first approach to living longer.

Dr. Yurth is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Boulder Longevity Institute, providing “Tomorrow’s Medicine Today” since 2006. She earned her MD from the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine, completed her residency at UC Irvine, and a fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine at Stanford-affiliated SOAR. With over 30 years as an orthopedist, she’s on a mission to teach how to heal and thrive at the cellular level.
