Inspired by the idea that longevity could be the next major technological revolution, he began looking into the field and quickly realized there was a major problem: scientists still don't have an easy way to determine whether an anti-aging intervention is actually working without waiting decades to see whether people live longer.That problem led Adam to a unique idea—treat longevity like a sport. The concept behind the Longevity World Cup is to create a competitive environment where people track their biological age and health markers, experiment with different interventions, and compete to improve their results. Adam believes that the people who perform best in this competition could become some of the earliest adopters of new longevity technologies, treatments, and strategies that actually work.A major part of the conversation focuses on biological aging clocks and how they attempt to estimate a person's biological age based on health data. Brad discusses his experience with tools such as WHOOP and the growing popularity of biological-age measurements, while Adam explains the limitations of current approaches. He argues that simply determining how old someone "looks" based on their biomarkers isn't necessarily the same as measuring how healthy or resilient they actually are. Ideally, biological aging clocks should be connected to meaningful outcomes such as health, performance, and ultimately mortality.Adam explains that this is one of the biggest challenges facing longevity research. Researchers need better biological aging clocks so they can determine whether an intervention is working without having to wait for people to die decades later. If scientists can develop reliable ways to measure biological aging, it could dramatically accelerate the pace of longevity research.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at [email protected] or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzVDisclaimer: The information provided on this podcast, including interviews and recommendations, is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
