Is 70 the New 50? The Science & Hype Behind the $101M Healthspan XPRIZE
Discover how the new Healthspan XPRIZE could make 70 the new 50—and what you can do today to stay ahead of the anti-aging curve. In Episode 65 of Next Act Ninjas, longevity scientist and coach Rachael Van Pelt decodes the $101 million prize’s criteria, from grip-strength tests to brain-speed quizzes, and explains why 40 global semifinalists are racing to reprogram cells, clear “zombie” senescent cells and turbo-charge mitochondria. You’ll hear both the promise and the pitfalls of moonshot research, plus a step-by-step, over-50-friendly roadmap—strength workouts, cardio, nutrient-dense meals, sleep optimization, cold plunges, intermittent fasting—to lengthen your healthspan right now. Measure your own biomarkers, cut through hype, and build the resilient body and mind you’ll need when rejuvenation therapies finally land. Grab the free Healthspan Starter Guide by emailing [email protected] with “XPRIZE” in the subject line, and subscribe for weekly science-backed strategies to live well, love more, age less.
