Most of us think aging happens slowly in the background. Dr. Bill Andrews thinks we may be aging faster than we need to.

Bill is a molecular biologist, founder of Sierra Sciences, and a longtime researcher in telomere and telomerase biology. He has spent most of his life asking whether aging itself can be slowed, reversed, or even cured.

He is also an ultra runner. At 74, Bill still runs every day, has completed 100-mile races, and continues to test what the body may be capable of as the decades pass.

This episode is a little different from a typical Ageless Athlete conversation. We talk about running and staying capable, but we also go deep into telomeres, inflammation, mitochondria, gene therapy, supplements, and the future of longevity.

Some of Bill’s ideas are bold, controversial, and still early. I’m grateful to him for being open with his time, his story, and his perspective. Whether you agree with all of his conclusions or not, this is a wide-ranging conversation about aging, performance, possibility, and what it means to keep reaching for a bigger life.
