🔟 Beyond aging, Topol explores gene-editing promises, immune-cell engineering, digital biomarkers, mental health, and rare-disease breakthroughs. Basic science that complements, rather than repeats, @PeterAttiaMD’s Outlive, and #VankiRamakrishnan's Why We Die, pointing to

9️⃣ The tech titans who spent their 20s chasing billions now pour those billions into age-defying startups. "When they were young, they wanted to be rich. Now that they're rich, they want to be young" - Venki Ramakrishnan

7️⃣ GLP-1s (e.g. Wegovy, Zepbound) protect the heart even before weight drops. Next-gen triples like retatrutide slash weight by 50%. However, no exit strategy yet to avoid rebound weight gain, and muscle loss remains a risk. Combo therapies to offset muscle wasting are already in
