The HumanWare Project

Sergey Young on Healthspan, Biotech, and the Future of Ageing

Méline Liu

Longevity is often framed as a race toward immortality - more supplements, more data, more promises. But what if that framing is the problem?

In this episode of The HumanWare Project, longevity investor and advocate Sergey Young offers a grounded, clear-eyed perspective on what longevity actually means - and what it doesn’t. Drawing from his work in biotech, health innovation, and long-term investing, Sergey explores the difference between lifespan and healthspan, why most people misunderstand aging, and how to think about longevity without falling for exaggerated claims or future fantasies.

Rather than prescribing routines or selling certainty, this conversation invites a deeper question: how do we build a healthier relationship with time, health, and progress?

This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the longevity conversation - and looking instead for clarity, realism, and a framework that makes sense in the present, not just the future.
