In this explosive episode, Dr. Aubrey de Grey — the pioneer of “damage-repair” rejuvenation biotechnology and founder of the Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV) Foundation — explains:
• Why his foundation is running the largest mouse combination studies ever attempted (2,000 mice, 8 interventions)
• How close we really are to Longevity Escape Velocity (his 50/50 estimate: 10–15 years)
• Why “immortality” headlines are deliberate misinformation and why he actually works on health, not lifespan
• The three ironclad reasons these therapies will NOT be only for billionaires
• Rapamycin, peptides, psychedelics, young blood, biohacking — what actually moves the needle
• Why raising $6 million for the next mouse study is scandalously difficult (and how you can change that)
• The one slogan he wants the movement to adopt: “Make aging the new COVID”
Dr. de Grey also answers live audience questions on overpopulation fears, societal ossification, term limits for centenarians, and whether extreme life-extension is “cancer on a global scale.”
If you care about adding decades of healthy life — for yourself, your parents, your kids — this is the one to share.
