| This week, I spoke with Dr. Michael Roizen, Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, and author of “The Great Age Reboot: Cracking the Longevity Code for a Younger Tomorrow.” We talked about how current science and technology will revolutionize our ability to live longer and live better. We also discussed the economic and policy implications that come with longevity as a disruptor. In this edition, you’ll hear Dr. Roizen and me discuss: - Why people living to 100, 120, or even 130 years old will become increasingly common—and how life past 100 may not look like what you expect… - How induced tissue regeneration could potentially eliminate obesity… - Two breakthrough anti-aging technologies that have moved from clinical trials into human testing… - What actions you should take now to prepare for the coming breakthroughs in life extension technology… - Why 90 will become the new 40 within the next 10 years… Dr. Michael Roizen’s new book, “The Great Age Reboot: Cracking the Longevity Code for a Younger Tomorrow,” is available for purchase here: https://www.amazon.com/Great-Age-Reboot-Cracking-Longevity/dp/1426221517 Like what you’ve seen in this interview?
