Not Meant to Live to 127 (My Ancestors Agree)

from Rainbows in the Dark · host Dr. Kim Makoi

After tracing the lifespans of over 100 of my ancestors—some going back to the 1600s—I’ve got news: the average human lifespan hasn’t changed as much as you think. Despite all the modern longevity fads, most people who survived childhood back then lived into their 70s and 80s… just like today. So maybe you can relax and skip the $500 cryotherapy membership?#Longevity #Ancestry #BiohackingMyth #GhostGrandpaWisdom #RainbowsInTheDark
