Stop optimizing your health and start campaigning against aging - Andrew Steele, Activist & Author

<p>Health podcasts are probably shortening your life expectancy. Not just because of the health anxiety they create, but because that time could instead be spent writing a letter to your congressperson.</p><p>Aging kills 85% of Americans, and the US spends $15-20 per person per year on cancer research but only $1 on aging biology. No amount of zone 2 and sauna are going to save you from that gap.</p><p>I sat down with Andrew Steele, scientist, author of <em>Ageless</em>, and founder of the Longevity Initiative, to talk about closing it. His position: if he had $10M to spend on his own longevity, he&#39;d spend every dollar on policy and communication, because that&#39;s where the leverage is.</p><p>With health systems pushed to their limits and demographic crises looming, the time is right to organize against aging.</p><p>Andrew is a phenomenal communicator, and played a huge role in inspiring me to start this podcast. You’re gonna love listening to him, and I highly recommend you follow him as well.</p><p>Special thank you to Adam Gries and vitalismfoundation.org for hosting us at Vitalist Bay!</p>
