Aging is often framed as a slow biological decline, but that narrative quietly trains the body to follow it. The real tension isn’t time itself, it’s how belief, language, and information shape cellular behavior over time.

We dive deeper into this in the latest episode of C3 Podcast: CODE Conscious Conversations with Laurent Goldstein. We also chat about why aging is a belief problem rather than a biology problem, why chronological age is the least meaningful health metric, and how cells continuously respond to information, not force.

Laurent Goldstein is a filmmaker and wellness advocate who directed Your Second Fifty - Rising Above the Fears of Aging, a documentary exploring longevity, mindset, and purpose after 50. He has interviewed over 2,000 experts across wellness and human performance and produced award-winning films recognized by international film festivals.
