Longevity is no longer about living longer, it’s about avoiding the slow decline most people mistake for “normal aging.”

In this episode, Chris Moore, a leading voice in longevity medicine and preventative health, breaks down what modern longevity science actually supports and what the industry often gets wrong. From over-optimizing biomarkers to chasing endless data, this conversation cuts through the noise to reveal what truly drives long-term health, resilience, and quality of life.

This is a grounded, science-led discussion about longevity without obsession and why the goal isn’t more years, but better ones.

He explains:

◻️ Why most longevity strategies focus on the wrong outcomes

◻️ The difference between lifespan, healthspan, and performance over time

◻️ How over-tracking and biohacking can quietly backfire

◻️ What longevity medicine actually looks for before disease appears

◻️ Why “more data” doesn’t always mean better health decisions

◻️ How to think about aging as a system not a problem to hack

◻️ What high performers misunderstand about longevity and control
