Why Matt Kaeberlein Says Most Longevity Advice Is Wrong

Dr. Matt Kaeberlein is one of the world’s most respected scientists in the field of aging biology. In this episode, we unpack the real science of longevity — from mTOR inhibition and rapamycin to calorie restriction, biomarkers of aging, and what most people get wrong about lifespan vs healthspan.

We go beyond the hype to ask: What actually works? What’s still theoretical? And where is the frontier of human aging research heading?

Topics we cover:

The biology of aging: mTOR, autophagy, senescence

Rapamycin in humans: What we know and don’t

Why extending healthspan matters more than living longer

Matt’s views on supplements, diet, and biomarkers

The most misunderstood concepts in anti-aging

Referenced studies include:
