Biogerontology (AGING) with Caleb Finch

How long can we live? How much of aging is genetics vs. environment? What does oral hygiene have to do with brain health? What causes Alzheimer’s? How do turtles and naked mole rats live so long? Are there any proven strategies for living a longer life? What's up with whiskey and eggs?

And she only has like, 3 life-altering epiphanies during the episode.
