Increased human life expectancy is one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. We have more than doubled the global average in the last 100 years, but the length of our healthspan, the time we spend in good health, has not increased at the same rate. With the population of people over 60 expected to almost double from 12% to 22% between 2015 and 2050, we have an urgent need to find novel solutions for healthy aging.

On today’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to my good friend Dr. Peter Diamandis about how we can apply the latest science and technology in the field of longevity to optimize not only how long we live but how vibrant and healthy we remain as we age.

Peter is a serial entrepreneur, futurist, technologist, New York Times bestselling author, and the founder of more than 25 companies. Fortune magazine has named Peter “one of the World’s 50 Greatest Leaders,” and he is the Founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, which has launched more than $300 million in incentive competitions, driving more than $3.5 billion in R&D (most recently launching the $100 million Gigaton Carbon XPRIZE funded by Elon Musk to combat climate change). Peter’s venture fund, BOLD Capital Partners, is deploying $600M+ into exponential technologies and health-biotech. Peter has written four New York Times bestsellers, and his life’s mission is to empower entrepreneurs to create a hopeful, compelling, and abundant future for humanity.
