How to be your own Genetic Engineer, Save Money, and Live Longer, with Dr. Michael Roizen

How to be your own Genetic Engineer, Save Money, and Live Longer, with Dr. Michael Roizen

Author: Dr. Kara Fitzgerald January 12, 2023 Duration: 1:01:33
Dr. Michael Roizen is an extraordinarily well-read, well-researched, and experienced physician in the field of longevity medicine. He dates his first interest in the field back to 1979 as head of an intensive care unit, when he recognized that patients who were biologically younger dramatically reduced their risk for post-operative disease and death. Since then, he has worked tirelessly in many ways to help individuals get physically and mentally younger, improving the lives of patients and documenting millions of dollars of savings per year in employee healthcare costs at Cleveland Clinic. In our conversation, he shares his lifestyle-forward approach, one that sits well alongside the Younger You program. Tune in to find out the importance of “posse, purpose, play, and locus of control,” how you can be your own genetic engineer, his take on emerging anti-aging interventions, and much more. As Dr. Roizen reminds us, it’s never too late to start – “until you’re six feet under, it ain’t too late to do this.” -DrKF
