In this episode, I speak with Dr. Jan Hennigs, a specialist in internal medicine and pulmonology, and medical director at YEARS, a center for preventive medicine and healthy longevity.

Longevity is considered one of the biggest trends in the modern healthcare world, but the core message is often lost amidst biohacking, marketing, and pseudoscience. We discuss what truly works, which measures are scientifically proven, and where it's simply a business opportunity.

In this episode, you'll learn:

🧬 Why 90% of longevity trends are useless
💊 Which interventions can actually improve long-term health
⚠️ What risks peptides, genetic tests, and experimental therapies pose

🧠 How to distinguish evidence from marketing
