EPISODE DESCRIPTION

In this conversation, we seem to be headed towards more questions than answers.. but perhaps questions that need to be asked. Most importantly... Where is Health & Wellness headed? In this episode of WTF is Podcast, we have Nithin, Prashanth, Jitendra, Seema and Bryan uncover many such questions/concerns, trying to determine what is next in this space of Heath & Longevity. As AI progresses, I wonder if tomorrow, an algorithm is built to tell us how to live our life the best... would we accept that integration? How far are we willing to go to live longer or perhaps "forever"?

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Nikhil Kamath, featuring Nikhil Kamath and Prashanth Prakash, Ep #21 | WTF is Longevity? | Nikhil ft. Nithin Kamath, Bryan Johnson, Prashanth, Jitendra & Seema explores Longevity meets India: data-driven health, air quality, business opportunities, AI ethics Nikhil Kamath convenes Bryan Johnson and Indian health/VC voices to answer two practical questions: what to put in your body, and where to build businesses in health. The conversation starts with Mumbai’s PM2.5 and expands into a broader thesis: modern health is best approached via continuous measurement, longitudinal datasets, and evidence-driven iteration rather than guru advice.
