Every video from The 200 Year Life Project — longform interviews with longevity researchers, short experiments, and the day-to-day of chasing 200 years in public.
Four friends died recently and two of them died from falling. Falls are the leading cause of injury death after 65 and the rate is climbing. Here are the two balance drills I do every morning at 71, in under five minutes, using a chair and the line where my carpet meets the wood floor.
I used to watch the sunrise from the dock every morning to set my circadian rhythm, and then the traveling took the habit away without me noticing. Now I am rebuilding it as a two-mile walk — and starting a daily series recorded while I walk.
Aubrey de Grey gives us a 50-50 chance of reaching longevity escape velocity within 12 to 15 years. At 71 I asked him what arrives first, what nobody is ready for, and the one thing someone my age should start doing.
The man who put biological age in front of ordinary people twenty-five years before anyone was selling epigenetic tests is coming on the podcast. He is 80, he still practices, and he thinks 90 will be the new 40. Here is who he is, and what I want you to help me ask him.
Richard Rossi founded DaVinci 50, a fifty-person longevity mastermind, because the group he wanted to join did not exist. At 71 I asked him why most people say no to a longer life. His answer was three fears, and none of them were medical.
Telomere pioneer Dr. Bill Andrews explains why everyone gets cancer daily, how telomere shortening drives aging, and whether aging can be reversed. Full interview inside.
Gum bacteria has been found in arterial plaque and in human brain tissue. Why gum disease raises your risk of heart disease and dementia — and why I quit antiseptic mouthwash at 71.
Grip strength is one of the simplest, most powerful predictors of healthy aging — a proxy for your whole neuromuscular system. At 71, I test mine regularly with a tool that costs about $10.
She says gene therapy reversed 20 years of her biological aging — on her own body, outside the normal trial system. My take on the claim and the evidence.
The Asian squat is how humans rested for thousands of years before chairs. I lasted less than 20 seconds. A year later it’s five minutes — and a non-negotiable part of my daily longevity protocol.
We’re 71 — and We Just Spent Days in a Room Full of People Who Think Aging Is Optional This is what happened at the DaVinci50 Longevity Mastermind in Sundance, Utah, and the two decisions it pushed us to make on our way to 200. Kathy and I didn’t know what to expect at…
When you hear GLP-1, you think Ozempic and weight loss. But the longevity community is figuring out these drugs may be some of the most powerful anti-aging tools available. I just started microdosing one.
Every weapon in my protocol has to earn its spot. VINIA Blood Flow Hydration earns it every single morning — before coffee, before anything else.
One test can flag disease risk, show how I metabolize drugs and supplements, and reveal variants linked to Alzheimer’s or heart disease. If something’s hiding in there, I want years of runway to act on it.
Most episodes of this project are about science — sleep, saunas, supplements, red light. This one is different. I got in the Lourdes baths, and here’s what happened.
Longevity escape velocity is the tipping point where science starts adding back a full year of life — or more — for every year that passes. That’s the real target, not the number 200.
I don’t care how many supplements you take or how many saunas you sit in. If you’re wrecking your sleep, all of it is massively diluted. Sleep is the undisputed foundation.
My wife blends this for us every single day. It’s so loaded it should come with a warning label. Here’s exactly what goes in it and why.
We break this project down one weapon at a time. Here’s my entire morning protocol at 71 — every step, in order, and the reason each one earns its place.
I’m Gary Leland. I’m dead serious about becoming the first human being to reach 200 in peak health. People laugh. I’ve heard that before — and I’ve been right every time. This is Episode 1.
