How We Should Target Aging | Peter Fedichev

In this episode , I speak with Peter Fedichev, co-founder and CEO of Gero, about whether aging can be understood through just three variables: stress, damage, and noise. He explains why many current longevity interventions may only be “level 1” therapies, why mice and humans may age in fundamentally different ways, and what it could take to push human lifespan beyond its current apparent limit.
