There is no shortage of advice about how to live longer—supplements, trackers, biohacks, new medications, tests and endless health metrics.
But what actually helps us age better?
U.S. News & World Report asked 63 experts across medicine, nutrition, fitness, longevity and research, and the answers offer a surprisingly clear roadmap.
In this episode, journalist Shanley Chien joins me to unpack the findings that stood out most—including what the experts say we may be overcomplicating, one major healthy-aging risk that often gets overlooked, the markers that may help predict future independence, and the issues women need to be paying much more attention to as we get older.
We also talk about GLP-1 medications, brain health, wearables, inflammation—and why some of the most effective strategies for aging better may also be the simplest.
