Why Centenarians Are Defying Science: Secrets to Living 100+

What Centenarians Can Teach Us About Living Longer

In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald sits down with Dr. Nir Barzilai, a pioneer in the science of aging. They talk about what makes some people live past 100 with their health intact, what the research on centenarians really shows, and how we can apply that knowledge in clinical practice today.

Dr. Barzilai shares insights from his decades of research, including what he's learned from studying genetics and the surprising health patterns of supercentenarians. They also discuss the latest on the Targeting Aging with Metformin (TAME) trial, why biological age matters more than chronological age, and the exciting future of biomarkers that may pinpoint which organ is aging fastest.

This conversation is packed with science, clinical takeaways, and thought-provoking ideas that challenge what we think we know about longevity.
