FBL44: Kris Verburgh - Longevity & the Keys To Living Well Longer

FBL44: Kris Verburgh - Longevity & the Keys To Living Well Longer

Author: Singularity University February 28, 2022 Duration: 50:57

This week my guest is Singularity’s very own expert in Health, Longevity, and Life Sciences, Kris VeerBurg. In addition to being an actual medical doctor, Kris has authored several books, including his latest work,The Longevity Code: Secrets to Living Well for Longer from the Front Lines of Science. And he’s also the co-founder of NOVOS (https://novoslabs.com), which positions itself as the first nutraceutical company that helps people take control of their health and lifespans.

This episode explores the many facets of aging, longevity, and death, ranging from the more abstract philosophical perspectives to very concrete scientific and technological approaches. Kris’ knowledge set is truly impressive, and I can’t recommend this episode enough for anyone who wants an extremely comprehensive primer for all things longevity and aging, including practical life tips.

Hosted by Singularity University, The Singularity Discussion Series is a deep and ongoing conversation about the forces that will define tomorrow. Rather than offering quick tech news, this podcast creates a space for sustained exploration. Each episode features leading thinkers and practitioners who examine exponential technologies like artificial intelligence, biotechnology, blockchain, and quantum computing. The discussions go beyond isolated innovations to focus on their powerful convergence-the point where these fields intersect to reshape everything from global industries and economic models to the fabric of our daily lives. You’ll hear nuanced analysis on both the immediate implications and the long-term trajectories of these changes. The goal is to unpack the breakthroughs that are actively redefining the boundaries of the possible, providing listeners with a clearer, more thoughtful understanding of the complex future we are building together. Tune in for a consistently insightful and forward-looking dialogue that challenges assumptions and illuminates the path ahead.
