“Longevity”
What's Really Behind the Longevity Boom?
Live podcast, discussion
Live longer, age healthier – and ideally without cutting back.
Amid promised miracles and social media trends, it’s hard to separate fact from fiction. That can be costly and, in the worst case, even dangerous. Medical professional Ursula Müller-Werdan takes us on a journey through the science of aging: What really works, and what is simply a well-marketed hype? What role do genes, nutrition, sleep, and nutritional supplements play? And why are politicians and big-tech billionaires also getting involved in the longevity hype?
A live podcast for anyone who wants to know how to age healthily – free of myths, but full of surprising insights. There will be an opportunity to ask questions afterward.
Featuring: Prof. Ursula Müller-Werdan, Director of the Department of Geriatrics and Gerontology and the EGZB, Head of the Geriatrics Research Group, Charité Berlin
