E126: Can We Slow Aging? How Science Is Extending Healthspan - w/ Prof Richard Faragher

In this episode, Jesse speaks with Professor Richard Faragher, one of the UK’s leading researchers on the biology of aging. They dive deep into why only 18% of people age well, what it means to age badly, and how emerging science is changing our understanding of aging itself.

Topics include:

  • The biological and economic toll of aging
  • Evidence that aging is “druggable”
  • Promising research on rapamycin, metformin, and senolytics
  • Why repurposed drugs could extend healthy lifespan today
  • Challenges with clinical trials and drug development costs
  • Social and economic divides in access to anti-aging therapies
  • The role of loneliness, purpose, and lifestyle in aging
  • How aging compares to other diseases in public perception and funding
  • The potential for aging interventions to delay multiple diseases at once
  • What individuals can do now to age better
  • Faragher also reflects on the political and commercial future of anti-aging medicine—and the race to control its patents.

Guest Bio: Dr. Richard Faragher is a professor of biogerontology at the University of Brighton. His research focuses on cellular senescence and the mechanisms of aging, and he’s a leading advocate for translating aging science into real-world interventions.
