41. Can We Live Better, Not Just Longer? Feat. Andrea Maier.
Dr. Andrea Maier, founder of Singapore's first evidence-based longevity center (Chi) and a pioneer in personalized preventive medicine, takes us on a fascinating journey through the future of aging. Did you know that each organ in your body has its own biological clock? Your liver could be younger than your heart!
In this episode, we dive deep into how Singapore is revolutionizing healthcare by focusing on prevention rather than just cure. With 25% of their population turning 65+ by 2030, they're not just extending lifespans – they're extending healthspans.
From biological age measurements to evidence-based interventions, Dr. Maier challenges our understanding of aging. But it's not all about high-tech solutions. When I shared stories about my 90-year-old uncle in Colombia who walks everywhere and solves crosswords daily, she explained why these simple lifestyle choices are just as crucial as cutting-edge treatments.
Whether you're interested in optimizing your health or curious about how healthcare might look in 2074, this conversation will change how you think about aging and longevity. It's not about living forever – it's about living better.
