About this listen

 Wade investigates the modern biotechnology approach to anti-aging, separating legitimate scientific research from marketing hype. The episode explores promising interventions like senolytic drugs that remove damaged cells, NAD+ boosters, gene therapy approaches, and repurposed medications like metformin and rapamycin. Wade explains the challenges of testing anti-aging interventions in humans and provides guidance for evaluating anti-aging claims critically. While acknowledging the potential of emerging technologies, the episode emphasizes that effective anti-aging interventions will likely require addressing multiple biological pathways simultaneously rather than relying on single "fountain of youth" solutions.
