Oliver Zolman MD x 18 Forever?

Luke Cook
About this episode

My guest this week has been ALL OVER the news cycle. A man who spends $2M on his body to age backwards!!!??? If you could age backwards, how would you do it? And not just your face (but that too) but each and EVERY organ in your body! What’s the multi-millionaire version and what’s the accessible version? 

This week I’m talking to Oliver Zolman MD, he’s the doctor of Bryan Johnson, a tech millionaire who, indeed, spends $2M a year on trying to age backwards. What’s the science about aging and aging backwards? Is it possible and what’s the latest? Oliver talks to me about the latest in dietary science (eating to stay young), the skin science (how to look young) and SO much more. He is a true wealth of knowledge!
