What if you could extend your life by 25  years more - and still have the energy to enjoy them?In this episode, I sit down with Naveen Bhat, ex‑finance exec now building 25 Years More, and Abhi Patwardhan, a Stanford Longevity ambassador who helps people redesign life after the corporate grind.Naveen explains why he swapped boardrooms for biomarkers and how adding healthspan, not just lifespan, is his new bottom line.
