#113 Why AI Could Add Decades to Your Lifespan | Dr. Derya Unutmaz

Get access to more than 200 episodes of my premium podcast (The Aliquot) when you sign up as a FoundMyFitness Premium Member The next 10 years may add decades to human lifespan by compressing the time it takes to understand, treat, and prevent disease. In this episode, Dr. Derya Unutmaz explains why accelerating AI could transform drug discovery, shorten clinical trials, and push cancer treatment toward increasingly personalized interventions. He also reframes AI not as an existential threat, but as a medical enabler that doctors may soon be ethically obligated to use. Timestamps: Introduction Why the next 10 years may add 50 to your lifespan How AI is transforming drug discovery Could digital twins shorten clinical trials? Can AI predict drug safety and efficacy? Have we already reached AGI? Why AI may be medicine's greatest force multiplier Can AI replicate a scientist's biological intuition? Is it malpractice for doctors not to use AI? What happens when AI monitors disease in real time? Which AI models should doctors trust? Claude vs. GPT—does the model matter for diagnosis? Generalist vs. specialized AI—which works better in medicine? Why cancer is so hard to cure Could cancer be curable within a decade? Can AI design cancer treatments on demand? How AI could curb overtreatment and side effects Predicting cancer years before it forms—is it possible? Why biology could go exponential with AI Why aging may be easier to prevent than reverse Can the body be engineered to resist aging? Can AI model how gene therapy will behave? What people who reach 110+ reveal about Human 2.0 From Dolly to Yamanaka factors—the case for cellular age reversal Why full-body rejuvenation is an engineering problem What happens when AI reasons longer about biology? The biosecurity dilemma of powerful AI What should we actually measure to track aging? How old immune cells distort aging clocks Why reversing brain aging is uniquely difficult The ultimate prompt for extending lifespan What data does a true digital twin need? How to build a mini digital twin today How to give AI a long-term memory of your data Why personal baselines matter for AI advice Show notes are available by clicking here Watch this episode on YouTube

#112 How To Slow Biological Aging With a Multivitamin, Vegetables, & Omega-3 | Dr. Steve Horvath

Get access to more than 200 episodes of my premium podcast (The Aliquot) when you sign up as a FoundMyFitness Premium Member The strongest anti-aging strategy may be less about dramatic reversal and more about removing what accelerates aging in the first place. In this episode, Dr. Steve Horvath maps out the science behind biological age and how aging clocks are changing the way researchers evaluate longevity interventions. He also explains why omega-3s, a daily multivitamin, and sufficient vegetable intake stand out as evidence-backed, compounding levers for shifting biological age over time. Timestamps: Introduction What exactly is biological aging? Do all aging clocks measure the same thing? PhenoAge vs. GrimAge—how methylation reveals mortality risk Why GrimAge is a powerful mortality predictor How your epigenome remembers long-term stress Can parents pass stress to offspring through the epigenome? Why standard aging clocks fail in sperm Can lifestyle changes reverse GrimAge? How DunedinPACE tracks your aging speed Which clock is best for testing longevity interventions? Can methylation clocks replace long-term mortality studies? Which interventions most reliably reverse epigenetic age? Can someone reverse biological age by 5 years in 7 months? Can GrimAge predict when you'll die? Why a younger GrimAge doesn't mean more years of life What epigenetic clocks fail to capture Why aging clocks measure more than just inflammation Does younger blood rejuvenate the whole body? Can calorie restriction really slow biological aging? Do GLP-1 drugs reverse epigenetic age? Can a daily multivitamin slow epigenetic aging? Omega-3, vitamin D, and exercise—which slows aging best? Does correcting vitamin D deficiency reverse age acceleration? Vegetables vs. exercise—which matters more for epigenetic age? Does red meat accelerate epigenetic aging? How much exercise is needed to slow epigenetic aging? Can heat exposure mimic exercise? Does a lower core body temperature slow aging? How sleep disruption shows up on aging clocks The role of social connection in biological aging Are consumer biological age tests worth it? How to choose a reliable biological age test Why two epigenetic age tests might give different results Can AI build better aging clocks? Partial reprogramming—can cells become younger without losing identity? What partial reprogramming can (and can't) reverse Do DNA mutations actually drive aging? Why no single intervention can stop aging Why genetics aren't your destiny Steve Horvath's longevity routine Does short-term stress accelerate epigenetic aging?

#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett

Get access to more than 200 episodes of my premium podcast (The Aliquot) when you sign up as a FoundMyFitness Premium Member Range of motion is the one aspect of your physiology that doesn't have to decline with age, but neglect almost guarantees that it will. In this episode, Dr. Kelly Starrett explains how to build a durable body by restoring the movement patterns that modern life strips away. He also lays out a clear framework for raising resilient young athletes grounded in sleep, fueling, play, and skill development rather than early specialization and excess volume. Timestamps: Introduction Why pain doesn't always mean you're injured How to manage persistent pain without stopping training Does foam rolling really improve pain and mobility? Can soft tissue work reduce soreness and help you unwind? Why soreness isn't proof of a good workout Is neck pain after overhead pressing a mobility issue? How to test your mobility at home The Cindy workout and why it works What your warmup should actually accomplish Why "don't get injured" is the wrong warmup goal What if you don't have time to warm up? How to maintain hip mobility in minutes a day The sit-and-rise test for hip mobility Can the sit-and-rise test really predict longevity? Why fitness doesn't guarantee mobility Improving shoulder mobility for desk workers How much shoulder mobility work do you really need? Can breath holds help prime and reset the nervous system? How breathing mechanics affect spinal mobility Do breath holds improve athletic performance? Fit vs. sport-ready—what's the difference? How to breathe during heavy lifts Can planks help you practice better breathing? Training for life vs. living to train How should non-athletes think about training? Why adults need leisure-time activity What's really behind your nagging pain? The couch stretch test for hip extension How to test shoulder internal rotation Why do perimenopausal women get frozen shoulder? Can running benefit recovery after lifting? Heat or cold for recovery—which and when? Can heat exposure support tendon repair? How to make desk work less sedentary Why is sitting on the ground so important? Why mobility doesn't have to decline with age The surprising power of "movement snacks" Why never do nothing beats all or nothing Is our culture the real barrier to movement? Why rucking is such an accessible way to train Are you getting enough time outside? Why better nutrition starts with what you're missing What's gone wrong with youth sports? Why sleep matters for young athletes How to manage food and sleep around late practices Should kids avoid specializing in one sport? Why unstructured play is essential for kids When should kids start strength training? Can martial arts build movement skills in kids? Why do so many kids drop out of sports? Sleep, fueling, and pain in young athletes What if your kid is a picky eater?
