With a world population of nearly 8 billion, there’s a good chance you have a doppelgänger, but might you share more than just appearances?

#268 ‒ Genetics: testing, therapy, editing, association with disease risk, autism, and more | Wendy Chung, M.D., Ph.D.

There are literally tens of thousands of genetic variants in your genome, and what they mean and whether or not they do anything whatsoever is hard to know.” —Wendy Chung

#266 – AMA #50: Genetics: how they impact disease risk, what you can do about it, testing, and more

With how much uncertainty there is in genetic testing, I just think everybody needs to be thoughtful about it before they do it.” —Peter Attia

#222 ‒ How nutrition impacts longevity | Matt Kaeberlein, Ph.D.

It’s really important that we be willing to change our beliefs about nutrition and other aspects of health as more data comes in.” —Matt Kaeberlein

#175 – Matt Kaeberlein, Ph.D.: The biology of aging, rapamycin, and other interventions that target the aging process

“I don’t think I will ever understand aging fully. And I don’t think the field will. … But I also believe that we don’t have to understand it fully to be able to have an impact on the biology of aging through interventions.” —Matt Kaeberlein

#159 – Peter Hotez, M.D., Ph.D.: Evolution of the anti-vaccine movement, the causes of autism, and COVID-19 vaccine state of affairs
