Americans spend $50 billion annually on supplements - but are we getting our money's worth? Dr. Michael Lustgarten discusses life-extension biohacking with a focus on rigorous self-testing & biomarker analysis.

DISCLAIMER: This podcast discusses ongoing scientific research, and is NOT providing medical advice. Viewers should consult their doctor before starting any supplements, beginning an exercise routine, or undertaking lifestyle changes.

Dr. Michael Lustgarten earned his PhD in Physiology from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and has been studying aging in both animal models and older adult humans for the past 15 years.In addition to his academic work, he is the creator of the YouTube channel “Conquer Aging or Die Trying”, where he rigorously details his personal experiments aimed at optimal health and longevity. Today, we’ll get into his objective, data-driven, testing, tracking, and intervention-based approach, which attempts to slow aging and disease risk by discovering the diet, supplement, exercise, and sleep recipe that can push systemic biochemistry towards youth and health, and that keeps it there indefinitely.
