Most people take supplements without ever checking if their body actually needs them. Is that smart… or just expensive guesswork?

In this podcast, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein sits down with Ryan Ware to unpack the truth about supplements, the rise of AI in medicine, and how people are consuming health information today. From internet “gurus” to tools like ChatGPT, they explore where people are searching for health answers, and whether those answers are truly helping or quietly harming.

Along the way, they share critical reflections on the wellness industry’s blind spots, the limitations of blood tests, and what smarter, evidence-based health decisions really look like.

Join the conversation to find out what really matters for your health, and what’s just hype!

Hi, I'm Matt Kaeberlein. I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.

On this podcast I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these episodes helpful!
