Sergey Young is a longevity investor and visionary with a mission to extend healthy lifespans of at least one billion people. To do this, Sergey founded Longevity Vision Fund to accelerate life extension breakthroughs and make longevity affordable and accessible to all. Sergey is on the Board of Directors of the American Federation of Aging Research (AFAR) and the Development Sponsor of Age Reversal XPRIZE global competition designed to cure aging. He is the author of The Science and Technology of Growing Young: An Insider's Guide to the Breakthroughs That Will Dramatically Extend Our Lifespan...and What You Can Do Right Now, coming in August and available for pre-order now!
What you'll learn from this episode:
Did Sergey's surname of "Young" have anything to do with his desire to extend human longevity?
How a diagnosis of high cholesterol—for which his doctor prescribed lifelong medication to keep in check—put Sergey on the path of making the little changes that add up to a longer life of optimal quality.
The five things you can do right now to extend your life and your ability to enjoy it.
What the three horizons of longevity are and what we can expect from science in the field of lifespan extension over the next few decades.
The steps Sergey is taking toward his goal of extending the healthy lifespans of one billion people, and what we can do to help ourselves and others make the better choices that will include us among that first billion.
And so much more!
