818: The Future of Medicine: Standardizing Longevity, Safe Biohacking, and Longevity Docs

About this episode

Dr. Kay Durairaj interviews Dr. David Luu about the future of medicine and the standardization of longevity practices.

Are we practicing medicine backward? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I sit down with Dr. David Luu—a cardiac surgeon and the founder of Longevity Docs—to discuss the urgent shift from reactive "sick care" to proactive health span optimization. We tackle the dangerous "Wild West" of the current longevity boom, where gyms are opening pop-up IV clinics and online platforms are prescribing GLP-1s without proper physician oversight. Dr. Luu shares his mission to standardize this rapidly growing industry, explaining how he built a global network of over 1,400 doctors dedicated to evidence-based, precision longevity protocols. If you want to know how real physicians are separating science from the biohacking hype, this episode is a must-listen.
