The AGEIST podcast is where we rewrite life after 50. Hosted by David Stewart, founder of AGEIST and Super Age, we talk with extraordinary people—scientists, creatives, and thinkers—about living vibrantly in your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. From longevity science to emotional well-being, fitness to purpose, we explore the tools and mindsets that help us stay curious, energized, and deeply engaged with life. This isn’t about aging gracefully—it’s about living boldly.

Nir Barzilai: Increasing Healthspan with Metformin in the Time of COVID
The founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Nir Barzilai is one of the leading pioneers of longevity research and a proponent of regarding aging as a treatable disease, just like any other disease. Nir has a new book Age Later: Health Span, Life Span and the New Science of Longevity. He is a strong advocate for using Metformin and intermittent fasting as proven methods of extending health span and life span. The future of aging will be to erase it at a cellular level. We discuss how COVID has brought all this into focus and what the heck the COVID toe is that I had. Let's get into some science.
