EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Dr Andrew Steele and Chris Williamson, Why We Get Old & How We Can Stop It - Dr Andrew Steele | Modern Wisdom Podcast 265 explores can We Cure Aging? Andrew Steele Explains Science, Trade‑offs, Future Tech Dr. Andrew Steele argues that aging is both a measurable increase in mortality risk and a biological process driven by identifiable cellular and molecular changes. He explains why evolution produced aging as an energy trade‑off with reproduction, why targeting aging itself may be more effective than treating individual diseases, and how emerging tools like senolytics, stem cell therapies, gene editing, and AI‑driven biology could radically extend healthy lifespan. Steele is cautious about current lifestyle fads and supplements, emphasizing standard health advice and, above all, more aging research as the most impactful lever. He believes substantial lifespan extension could plausibly arrive within the lifetimes of people alive today, though timelines and ultimate limits remain deeply uncertain.
