Fabulously informative episodes about living young and dying old. We find the world’s top scientists & experts on living younger, healthier lives. There’s so much conflicting information about longevity—from supplement companies, social media stars, pop book authors, and food marketers who seek fame & fortune. This channel is unique because we find the top researchers in their fields, the ones too busy actually doing science to be social media stars, and help them tell their stories. Our mission is to make longevity research fascinating and fun without compromising accuracy. Our channel is not commercial—no product promotions, no Patreon page, we turn off all optional ads. About our founder: Chris began his career as an earth scientist, involved in water and air testing for population health. He later worked for Steve Jobs at NeXT computers, which was purchased by Apple and became OS10 for computers and iOS for iPhones. Viva Longevity is Chris’ passion and retirement hobby.Copyright Polo

    Dr. Selina Wang is the world's expert on edible oils. Her new paper went viral because she called out major brands who claimed their products were based on avocado oil when they were really based on cheaper seed oils.

    Selina knows everything about smoke points, rancidity, fat profiles, and toxicity.
