#132 - Rapamycin, Metformin, Senolytics & Exercise: How to Add DECADES to Your Life

Everyone wants to live longer and feel better, but the flood of information on supplements, drugs, and fitness can feel overwhelming.

I invited Siim Land, an expert and 8-time bestselling author on longevity, to cut through the noise and share simple, evidence-based strategies that really move the needle when it comes to health and lifespan.

Siim shares incredible, science-based tips on how we can enhance our healthspan and lifespan without getting lost in the hype.

We dig into why exercise, especially combining strength training with cardio, is the single most powerful anti-aging tool. Siim explains how even small changes in daily activity can dramatically reduce your risk of chronic disease and help you live longer.

We also talk about what everyone is curious about - Rapamycin, Metformin, Senolytics, and more - and I’m excited to share what the research really says about these popular longevity compounds. Siim also shares why having strong social relationships may be even more important than any pill.
