I'm Gary Leland, I'm over 70, and I'm running a public experiment to see how long a human can live. The goal is 200.

On The 200 Year Life Project I share everything I'm trying: the supplements I take, the workouts I do, my bloodwork and biological age tests, and what I've quit along the way. When something works, you'll hear the numbers. When it doesn't, you'll hear that too.

You'll also hear full-length conversations with the scientists and builders working on aging, including Aubrey de Grey, Dr. Michael Roizen, Dr. Bill Andrews and Liz Parrish of BioViva.

Follow the show so you don't miss an episode.

Aubrey de Grey, the gerontologist behind the LEV Foundation and the idea of longevity escape velocity, gives us roughly a 50-50 chance of reaching it within 12 to 15 years. He doesn't call himself a longevity researcher at all: he works on health, and longer life is the side effect. At 71, I asked him what arrives first, who gets it, and what someone my age should start doing now.

In this conversation we cover:

• Why aging is accumulated damage, and why the body can be maintained like a machine
• Longevity escape velocity, explained, and why 60-year-olds will get the first treatments
• What the LEV Foundation is building, and how he got there from AI research
• What comes first: Parkinson's, stem cells and senolytic drugs that clear zombie cells
• Whether only the rich will get rejuvenation, and why governments will end up paying for it
• Retirement, inheritance and the expectation shock nobody is ready for
• The most overhyped thing in longevity
• If you're 70, where to start: bloodwork, your genome and knowing your body

Ask most people if they want to live to 200 and they say no before you finish the sentence. Richard Rossi, founder of the DaVinci 50 (D50) longevity mastermind, says it comes down to three fears: running out of money, running out of purpose and running out of friends. None of them is a medical problem.

In this conversation we cover:

• Why Richard started D50: the group he wanted to join did not exist
• The three fears that make people say no to a longer life, and what to do about each one
• Why he deliberately builds friendships with people decades younger
• The "no hammer and no nail" principle, and why a mastermind should not push one doctrine
• How D50 events are structured, and why the breaks matter as much as the speakers
• Why he hired a judo expert to teach him how to fall
