On this episode of Redefining Medicine, we welcome Dr. David Barzilai, MD, PhD, a longevity medicine physician known as “The Aging Doc” and founder and CEO of Bars Island Juvie. With a focus on helping patients optimize healthspan, Dr. Barzilai explores the connection between longevity, neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, and metabolic health.

Dr. Barzilai discusses how lifestyle choices - including nutrition and physical activity - can play an important role in supporting healthy aging. He explores dietary approaches such as the Mediterranean and ketogenic diets, along with the importance of developing an optimal physical routine to support metabolic health and help prevent insulin resistance.

The conversation also examines the relationship between insulin resistance and age-associated decline, including concerns surrounding cognitive impairment, mild cognitive decline, and dementia. By focusing on the factors we can influence today, Dr. Barzilai offers a practical perspective on how clinicians can approach longevity with an emphasis on protecting both the brain and the heart.

Tune in for an insightful conversation on building a foundation for healthier aging and understanding how the choices we make today can influence our health and longevity for years to come.
