Everything we talk about on The Optispan Podcast has geroscience at its root, so we decided to make an episode about it. Geroscience is the study of the mechanisms connecting biological aging with disease and disability. The term first appeared in the scientific literature around 2008, and its use has steadily increased since as researchers have discovered more about the aging process and its impact on our health. While it's clear that aging biology is at the root of the diseases and disabilities that most people get sick with and die from in their later years, it's been a challenge to get the field the traction and support that other fields enjoy, in part because we are used to a "disease care" model of waiting until people get sick and only then addressing their symptoms and/or curing their disease.
In this episode, Matt dives into the geroscience hypothesis and how it underpins the way we age, entrenched cultures in industries from drug development to insurance to regulation, and why he's excited to create a geroscience-inspired disruption in the medical and healthcare industries.

Hi, I'm Matt Kaeberlein. I spent the first few decades of my career doing scientific research into the biology of aging, trying to understand the finer details of how humans age in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Now I want to take some of that knowledge out of the lab and into the hands of people who can really use it.
On this channel I talk about all things aging and healthspan, from supplements and nutrition to the latest discoveries in longevity research. My goal is to lift the veil on the geroscience and longevity world and help you apply what we know to your own personal health trajectory. I care about quality science and will always be honest about what I don't know. I hope you'll find these videos helpful!
