Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity - by Eric Topol

Cardiologist and Scripps Research executive vice president Eric Topol explores the science of healthy aging, drawing on the "Wellderly" study of over 1,000 people averaging 87 years old who remain free of major chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, and neurodegeneration. Topol debunks overblown anti-aging claims, emphasizing a "lifestyle+" approach—combining exercise (especially resistance training), nutrition, deep sleep, social connections, and gut health—with emerging AI-driven tools for personalized prevention, early detection, and drug discovery to extend "healthspan" and enable more people to thrive into their 80s and 90s.
