Wall Street vet turned health optimizer Hunter Ziesing (Co-Founder, Longevity Health; ex-Head of Partnerships, Paceline) joins SUPERHUMAN to unpack how to make prevention stick: AI-driven care, behavior gamification, CGMs, DEXA, VO₂ max, and what truly moves the needle. We also hit data privacy, insurer incentives, blockchain for clinical trials, supplement skepticism, and why Zone 2 + strength training beats most hacks. Rapid, no-fluff, insanely actionable.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to operationalize preventative care with AI + clinical oversight
  • Incentives that actually change health behavior (beyond wearables hype)
  • The test stack that matters (bloods, DEXA, VO₂, sleep) and what to skip
  • Supplements: when labs say “yes” vs. snake oil
  • Zone 2, VO₂ max, and cycling as lifelong “antidepressant” cardio
  • The path to scalable, personalized longevity programs
