Can We Cheat Death? Nobel Prize Winner Breaks Down the Science of Living Forever

💬 “Evolution doesn't select for longevity. It doesn't care how long you live.” ~Venki Ramakrishnan

⚡️ Venki Ramakrishnan is a Nobel Prize-winning biologist, former president of the Royal Society and author of Why We Die: The New Science of Ageing and Longevity.

⚡ In this episode Venki and I uncover the science of why we die, whether there’s a biological reason why we can’t live forever, and what will happen if we do eventually crack the longevity code.

🎧 Stay tuned to find out:

➡ Whether the $30 billion longevity industry has brought us any closer to immortality

➡︎ Why we’re living longer, but with more disability and disease than ever

➡︎ Why death and our own mortality makes life worth living

➡︎ The best, science-backed ways to add healthy years onto your life
