Dr. Jack Kreindler: Engineering Healthspan, From ER to the South Pole

On this episode of #TheShot of #DigitalHealth Therapy, Jim Joyce and I freeze time (and nearly our toes) with the extraordinary Dr Jack Kreindler -longevity doctor, tech founder, and Antarctic explorer. This is only our second-ever long-form episode, and we couldn't be more honored to have Jack join us for it. From designing UX with Douglas Adams to running diagnostics in sub-zero temperatures, Jack shares wisdom at the intersection of tech, healthspan, and philosophy. Yes, there's creatine. Yes, there's metaphysics. And yes, you’ll want to rethink your bedtime and your bucket list. It’s a ride through resilient humans, wild biohacks, and the hilarious humility of medicine in the age of AI.
