What if every cell in your body came with a built-in "expiration date"? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bill Andrews — the geneticist whose team discovered telomerase, the enzyme that controls human aging and cellular lifespan.

At just 10 years old, Dr. Andrews' father told him: "You should find a cure for aging." He's spent his entire life trying to do exactly that.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Andrews explains:

🔬 Why humans have a maximum lifespan of ~125 years — and how mathematics proves it ⏳ The "ride ticket" analogy that explains telomere shortening in under 60 seconds 💊 Why 90% of telomere supplements are scams that don't actually lengthen telomeres 🧬 What TelaVital really does — and what it can't do (yet) ♾️ How biological immortality could realistically become possible within our lifetime

One of the most shocking insights: Many anti-aging companies don't lengthen telomeres — they just manipulate the measurements, like firing your least intelligent employees to raise your company's average IQ.

This is NOT pseudoscience. Not biohacking hype. This is coming from the scientist who literally helped discover the enzyme that determines how long we live.

📌 If you're interested in longevity, telomeres, cellular aging, or real anti-aging science — this is a must-listen.
