Excited to share my new op-ed with @newtgingrich in @EpochTimes on how prioritizing longevity science can transform American healthcare by shifting our focus from treatment to prevention. Check it out:

@BrotherBill716 He’s the most explosive player on the team and one of the most in the entire league. Gabe Davis gets paid more than him. Forget position — a game-changer for $15m/year is a no brainer to me. My bet is he’ll sign for $12m.

Many proposals for improving health focus on individual lifestyle interventions—like exercising regularly, preparing healthy meals, and cutting back on pleasurable but unhealthy activities. However, these recommendations often overlook a critical reality: such changes are largely feasible only for those privileged enough to have spare time and resources, and the development of longevity medicine is the great equalizer. For most people, long work hours, economic pressures, and the demands of daily life leave little room for health-focused activities. When the majority of our day is occupied by jobs and obligations that aren’t fulfilling, we naturally turn to immediate pleasures—like eating fast food, drinking, or other forms of instant gratification—as a counterbalance. These behaviors, when done in excess and combined with a sedentary lifestyle, is what have led to chronic disease epidemic we face today. This isn’t merely a matter of personal choice or willpower; it’s a systemic issue. The ideal of individual lifestyle change assumes that everyone has the freedom to allocate time and resources to self-care in addition to pleasure seeking behaviors. In reality, only a minority enjoy the luxury of making such adjustments without sacrificing economic stability or the instant gratification mechanisms of life. Don’t believe me? Who do you see more at the gym/eating organic—a mom/dad with 3 kids or a single individual? A wealthy person or a poor person? Rather than focusing solely on individual choices, we need systemic reforms—policies that improve work-life balance as well as economic incentives for healthier living (tax credits for fitness & proactive medicine, etc.). But really, longevity medicine stands as the great equalizer. It’s democratization will mitigate the long-term health impacts of modern-day life that a majority of people are subjected to, and ensure that longevity and better health aren’t reserved solely for the privileged few.

Brilliant testimony from @EricVerdin and @foundmyfitness, but slightly disappointed by the lack of discussion on aging therapeutics and tech developments. These are key to advancing longevity for Americans. @SenateAging, let’s ensure future hearings address these innovations!

Let’s break down disease—"dis" (lack of) and "ease" (comfort). Menopause and aging cause discomfort. By definition, both are diseases. Just because we lack clinically approved biomarkers doesn’t mean we shouldn’t identify them and develop treatments to restore well-being.

@KarlPfleger @theA4LI Really appreciate your leadership, Karl. It’s surprising that more companies in this space haven’t stepped up to support work that directly aligns with their long-term interests, but we’re grateful for those who recognize @theA4LI’s importance. Hoping more will follow your lead.

I’ve been told that there’s no way a second shooter didn’t fire from the grassy knoll. I want to visit Dealey Plaza and see it for myself. The JFK assassination was really the turning point — when Americans lost trust in their government. It’s high time to rebuild that trust.
There were two shooters involved in the JFK assassination. You’d think that would get bigger headlines…

Determining when we've truly reached AGI is somewhat subjective, and to me, accessibility has to be part of the equation. Some argue we’ve already reached AGI, but if it hasn’t reached all socioeconomic levels, have we really achieved it as a society? The computer revolution may have started in the 80s, but it didn’t fully integrate into everyday life until the 2010s, when a majority had internet access. AGI will likely follow a similar path—currently, less than 10% of the world uses AI regularly. The same argument probably applies to longevity, too. OpenAI or others may have already hit internal benchmarks, but if it’s not accessible, does it really count? Given that you acknowledge AGI may be achieved but not released, how do you define its arrival? Does access and integration factor into your view of what it means to truly achieve AGI? Not necessarily pushing back on your assessment—just curious to hear your thoughts from a philosophical and historical perspective.

Agreed. The only way to make Medicare and Medicaid sustainable is to ensure fewer people need them for expensive chronic care while making the system more sophisticated. Prioritizing longevity science and prevention will keep people healthier for longer, reducing costs and improving quality of life.

@rawsalerts Hot take: I’m fine with gerontocracy, but only if leaders are in good mental and physical health. Experience matters, but they need the vitality to keep up. This is why we need serious advancements in anti-aging medicine—to ensure they can lead effectively.
