From Lifespan to Healthspan: Brain Aging, Biomarkers & Pet Longevity with Dr. Daniel Richard

In this fireside chat, Harvard PhD and Stanford postdoctoral researcher Dr. Daniel Richard breaks down the science of aging where it matters most: the brain. He explains why the future of longevity is really about healthspan, maximizing disease-free, cognitively vibrant years, along with emerging tools like brain imaging, blood-based “biological age” tests, and stem-cell–driven repair mechanisms. The conversation explores how lifestyle interventions may mimic powerful brain-protective effects, how personal data could soon guide earlier, more proactive decisions in our 20s and 30s, and even ventures into the growing field of pet longevity through large-scale dog aging studies. Tune in with our CFO and GP Sheetal Nariani for a look at where longevity science is headed for both humans and their four-legged family members.
