#297: Longevity, Radical Life Extension and Living to 500 with Marek Piotrowski
“Radical life extension for me is part of ‘longevity’ actually before me and my son started our quest, I drew a longevity map… I did it in the form of a tree with three branches…everything we can do now, blue zones, second branch…third branch is this next level thing…with tens, ultimately hundreds of years…” —Marek Piotrowski
Imagine the breadth of wisdom we could accumulate and the societal enrichment that might be possible if our lifespans were dramatically extended.
Join me, Dr. Yami, as I unlock the secrets of a life that could span centuries, not just decades, with longevity enthusiast Marek Piotrowski. Our enlightening conversation on ‘radical life extension’ with Marek ventures beyond the norm, as he distinguishes between daily health span routines and the audacious goals of life extension, drawing on his 'longevity tree' analogy. We discuss the intriguing phenomena of blue zones, Marek's personal pivot from marketing into the depths of longevity, and take a look into a future where careers could range as broadly as rock star to astronaut.
We consider the societal implications and the personal growth that could accompany centuries of life. Imagine the wisdom accrued over hundreds of years and the cumulative impact on society. It's not just about scientific breakthroughs; we also took a soulful turn, contemplating my own transition from skeptic to open-minded explorer, delving into concepts like energy and reincarnation. Yet, through it all, the emphasis remains firmly on savoring our current journey, and maximizing and relishing every breath we take today.
