David Donnelly: Can Humans Reach 150?

from AGEIST · host David Stewart

Filmmaker David Donnelly joins us to discuss his new documentary Forever Young, an exploration of the rapidly advancing science of longevity. What began as a skeptical investigation into whether the hype around anti-aging breakthroughs was real ultimately revealed a growing body of research focused on extending healthspan and preventing disease. We examine what the science supports today, from the role of prevention and lifestyle to emerging therapies now entering human trials. Along the way, David raises larger questions about purpose, social connection, and how society must adapt as people begin to live longer and healthier lives. Watch Forever Young:Watch the Film Direct – https://www.foreveryoung.film/?via=dWatch on Apple TV – https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/forever-young/umc.cmc.4t1561uviumw4ofcri0ufql7v?ctx_at=6Special Thanks to Our SponsorsOur Place: The top cookware brand for beautiful, non-toxic, PFA-free pots and pans.
