Could they also extend lifespan? In this episode, David and Matt look at the emerging science behind that question. They examine a recent study in which semaglutide extended lifespan in female mice, evidence that GLP-1s may influence multiple hallmarks of aging, plus early human research examining biological aging. They also explore how these drugs work, the potential role of the brain, the promise and unanswered questions around microdosing, and what the next generation of GLP-1 therapies could mean for longevity medicine. As David puts it, this class of drugs “might be the world’s first effective longevity medicines." __________________________________________ Partners of the Lifespan show help us keep this program freely available as an educational resource while also supporting medical research.
