Podcast 209: Turning Back Your Biological Clock with Bryan Johnson

Aging is inevitable — or is it? On this week's podcast, Founder & CEO Will Ahmed sits down with entrepreneur Bryan Johnson to discuss his quest to reverse the aging process.

This week, we're joined by Bryan Johnson, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, writer, author, and the Founder and CEO of Kernel. Bryan has been on a quest to slow down the pace of aging, and has invested in better understanding the habits that can help him do so. His daily regimen is designed to increase his endurance, optimize his heart health, and even improve his skin – all in an effort to reverse aging. We sit down to discuss his approach, and we even dig into his WHOOP data to see if his efforts are paying off. Want to see your questions answered?
