The Longevity Loop Podcast

Living longer sounds like the ultimate win, until you ask the question most people skip: what are we doing with the extra time? I’m joined by filmmaker David Donnelly, creator of Forever Young, to talk about the very real longevity revolution now unfolding across AI-driven medicine, biomarkers, and precision healthcare. The film’s vision of seamless health tracking feels futuristic, but David makes the case that many of these tools are already here in early form, and AI is rapidly removing ol...

You can crush workouts, hit great HRV numbers, and still have arteries aging faster than you are. That’s the uncomfortable gap we dig into with Dr. Craig Backs, a 40+ year physician who calls himself a “recovering allopath” and now focuses on proactive cardiometabolic care. We talk about why atherosclerosis is an inflammatory process in the artery wall, how plaque rupture can turn a “fine” day into an ambulance ride, and why better measurement beats reassurance based on the usual checkup scri...

Your brain can be drifting in the wrong direction long before you notice a single memory slip, and that’s the scary part of cognitive decline. We sit down with physician-neuroscientist Dr Christin Glorioso, CEO of NeuroAge, to get concrete about brain aging, Alzheimer’s risk, and what prevention actually looks like when you stop relying on vibes and start relying on data. We talk about why genetics like APOE4 matter, why they’re not destiny, and how lifestyle still drives a huge part o...

HRV is everywhere right now, but most people still can’t answer the only question that matters: what is heart rate variability actually telling me about my body, and what can I do with it besides stare at a score? We sit down with Dr. Jay Wiles, a performance psychologist and psychophysiology expert, to cut through the hype and translate HRV, vagal tone, and breathing biofeedback into plain English you can use today. We talk about why “higher HRV” isn’t automatically better, why you sh...

You can track stress all day and still feel like you can’t turn it off. That’s the problem we tackle with James, the creator of Ohm Resonance, a screen-free nervous system regulation device built for founders, parents, and high performers who live in constant low-grade urgency. We get clear on why wearables often create a weird relationship with health data: they diagnose, but they don’t treat. We also talk about why mindfulness apps can be valuable yet hard to sustain when you’re battling a...

Death is the ultimate unsolved problem—and some of the world’s most powerful technologists are convinced they can patch it. We sit down with author and technologist Alex to pull apart the boldest claims in the quest for immortality and refocus on what truly extends healthspan for real people. This conversation moves from server-farm consciousness and cryonics to the everyday levers—sleep, movement, nutrition, community, and stress—that quietly add years to life and life to years. We map the ...

Financial advisor Kyle Bland explains how aligning finances with health span is essential for longevity enthusiasts seeking independence in later life. Traditional retirement models fail to account for people living well into their hundreds, requiring new financial strategies that complement health investments. • Living to 100+ requires financial planning that's rarely discussed in longevity circles • Most retirement models are built for a maximum 30-year retirement, not 40-50 years • Longev...
