On the first episode, we dive into the booming world of longevity clinics. What do they offer? What’s the hype? And why are Gen Z/millennials dropping serious cash on anti-aging? We look into the rise (and fall!) of spots like Extension Health, Hooke, Modern Age, and Forward, the recent TikTok drama around Continuum, and what the broligarchs (think: Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos) are backing. We also learn that Emily is bullish on hyperbaric oxygen tanks and that brain rot might be…fake news. Is longevity the future? Listen to find out.
