The Midlife Chrysalis

Mortality Was My Wake-Up Call | Dr. Brad Jacobs


Listen Later

What if the real key to longevity isn’t a biohack but a wake-up call?


In this episode, Dr. Brad Jacobs, longevity expert, integrative medicine pioneer, and former UCSF professor, shares what truly helps us thrive in midlife.


After losing his father to cancer at 27, Brad made it his life’s work to understand how we can live longer and better.


In this episode, we explore:

  • What actually extends your life (and what’s a distraction)
  • Why sleep and stress matter more than most supplements
  • How psychedelics are reshaping emotional healing
  • What modern masculinity has to do with longevity
  • Why midlife is a powerful reset, not a decline

If you’re in your second half and ready to live with more vitality, clarity, and purpose, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.


Press play! Your midlife upgrade starts here.
