About this episode
From the show’s notesWhat if the biggest challenge of our time isn’t living longer, but living better?

We’re joined by Dr. Andrew Scott, author of The Longevity Imperative, and Vijay Pande a16z’s Bio & Health general partner, to explore how a shift from “sick care” to “health care” could transform our lives. Together, we discuss the implications of longer lifespans, from the individual choices that can improve our healthspans to the economic and societal shifts required to sustain a healthier, more productive aging society.
Join us as we reimagine the future of aging, where living to 100 can be more than survival—it can be a life well-lived.
