This collection brings together longevity researchers discussing anti-aging science: sex differences in aging, mitochondria and metabolism, medications such as rapamycin and metformin studied for effects beyond their original use, and whether aging itself should be treated as a disease.

Viewers commonly ask: Is it too late to benefit from anti-aging strategies once someone is already older? Do medications such as rapamycin or metformin have a realistic role outside of their approved use, and are they safe for that purpose? Why do men and women seem to age differently, and does that change what any one person should actually do? What changes to diet, exercise, or mitochondrial health have real evidence behind them, as opposed to popular claims online?

Longevity science moves quickly, and separating an established finding from an early, unproven one takes specific expertise. An independent panel of academic researchers can help place a personal question about aging, or about a specific therapy, against the actual current evidence rather than general enthusiasm.

To ask that kind of question about your own situation, see the medical second opinion page.
