  Animals That Don't Age at All — What It Means for Us 21.09.2026 1ชม. 29นาที

  What is aging? Why is it the single biggest predictor of disease? And which of the most talked-about anti-aging interventions — telomere extension, biological age tests, supplements — actually hold up? In this conversation we talk to Dr. Vera Gorbunova and Dr. Andrei Seluanov who run a research lab together at the University of Rochester where they study the biology of aging across dozens of long-lived species — from naked mole rats to bowhead whales. A naked mole rat is roughly the s...

  Why Women Spend the Last 5–6 Years of Life in Worse Health Than Men (And What to Do About It) 10.09.2026 1ชม. 28นาที

  Why do women spend the last 5–6 years of life in worse health than men — and what does it have to do with your ovaries? Only 8–9% of NIH research funding goes to women’s health research, and by some estimates as little as 4% of private R&D investment goes to anything outside female cancers, fertility, and maternal-fetal health combined. Meanwhile, cardiovascular disease risk can rise 2–4x almost overnight at menopause — a shift most women are never warned about. In this episode, Chris is ...
