Episode Details

Welcome to Season 3 of The Doc Talk! 

Longevity is everywhere right now. NAD+. Peptides. Rapamycin. Cold plunges. CGMs. Creatine. Sauna. Supplements. Everyone seems to have a protocol...and something to sell you.

But what’s actually backed by evidence?

We’re kicking off Season 3 with a two-part series on longevity, and first up: what we do (and don’t) know about the things people are doing to live longer and healthier.

We’re putting some of the biggest longevity trends into three buckets: Meh, Maybe and Definitely.

Which ones have great marketing but not much human evidence? Which ones are genuinely promising? And which decidedly unsexy habits still beat most of the expensive longevity hacks?

We also get into where the science is evolving, when “we don’t know yet” is actually the right answer, and why something changing a biomarker doesn’t necessarily mean it changes how well, or how long you live.

If you’re spending time, energy or money trying to optimize your health, this is the episode to listen to before adding one more thing to your routine.

And this is only Part 1. We had so much to share, we split it into two separate episodes.
