Before the Emergency
Longevity without the hype, from an emergency physician who sees what happens when prevention is skipped.
Most of what I treat in the ER started years earlier. This talk separates the unglamorous basics that have strong evidence behind them, such as fitness, strength, sleep and close relationships, from the expensive trends that do not. Then it looks honestly at AI, biosensors and wearables: where they can help people act earlier, and where the evidence is not there yet.
