Food, We Need To Talk

How to Add a Decade to Your Life


Listen Later

In this episode we sit down with Dr. Eric Topol—one of the most cited scientists in the world and author of SuperAges—to explore what the science actually says about living longer and healthier. We talk about what aging really is, why trying to reverse it can backfire, and the surprising role lifestyle factors play in slowing down the biological clock. Dr. Topol also explains how exercise, sleep, and diet can add up to an extra decade of healthy years, why ultra-processed foods may be the cigarettes of our generation, and how new tools like AI and gut-based medicines could transform prevention. This conversation is both eye-opening and practical, giving you the tools to make changes today that could add years to your life. If you’ve ever wondered what’s hype and what’s real in the world of longevity, you’ll want to hear this one.

Check out Dr. Topol's incredible book Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity. If you like research,  you will LOVE this book.
