Slowing the process of aging is something many people are interested in—and there’s a lot of pseudoscience out there about how to do it.

In this episode, Eric debunks some common myths about how to live a longer life and shares his surprising findings about what actually determines a person’s lifespan and healthspan. Adam inquires about the efficacy of health supplements, and he and Eric discuss steps for preventing diseases, the role of AI in medicine, and effective practices for living a longer, healthier life.Host & GuestAdam Grant (Instagram: @adamgrant | LinkedIn: @adammgrant | Website: https://adamgrant.net/)Eric Topol (Instagram: @erictopol1 | Website: https://drerictopol.com/) LinksBooks: https://drerictopol.com/books/Substack: https://erictopol.substack.com/Follow TED!
