Blood transfusions, cryotherapy, experimental drugs and intermittent fasting are just a few of the measures so-called biohackers are taking in hopes of radically extending their lifespans. But what started as a faddish subculture has boomed into a multi-billion dollar industry – encompassing both shady claims and reputable scientific research. In this episode, we unpack the science and the hype behind some of the most prominent biohacking tools being used today, including caloric restriction, Rapamycin, and Metformin with Dr. Venki Ramakrishnan, the Nobel Prize-winning biochemist. We also speak with Dr. Daniel Belsky, the inventor of a blood test that can reveal how fast your body is aging, which could expedite testing on potentially life-extending treatment.
