Longevity isn’t just a roll of the genetic dice; it’s something you can actively shape. By building a plan to expand your healthspan, you’re investing in your future self, ensuring that as you age, you continue to feel strong, keep your brain sharp, and live life to the fullest. Being proactive is the point of longevity medicine, which takes the best parts of conventional healthcare and wellness and helps you play an active role in your health like never before, says Delphine Le Grand, an entrepreneur in the booming longevity space. Delphine is a bridge builder, fostering partnerships with early-stage companies and longevity physicians to bring personalized, preventative care models to market. Join my conversation with Delphine as we explore this “cultural moment” that longevity medicine is currently enjoying and how it will impact you.
You’ll learn:
· The longevity medicine ecosystem is still in its infancy, but hang on for an explosion of technology, bioscience breakthrough, and more that will make living well beyond 100 years common.
· The first step in building a plan to lengthen your healthspan to match your lifespan is to know your body and understand what it’s telling you at the cellular level.
· Bio data is important but knowing what to do with that information to improve your health is essential. And that’s the piece of the puzzle that’s missing—unless you know where to look.
· The biggest breakthrough in reducing chronic cardiometabolic disease will come from reversing the carbohydrate metabolism disorder that affects 99 percent of human beings.
· To improve your health tomorrow, discover what’s holding you back from living in optimal health today. Is it poor sleep, unhealthy eating, insufficient exercise, or stress? Identify your nemesis and overcome it.
About Florence Comite, MD
Dr. Comite began her medical journey at Yale University School of Medicine and continued her training there with a residency in medicine. She completed a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology (multidisciplinary training incorporating pediatrics, gynecology, and andrology) at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. She remained at the National Institutes of Health as a senior clinical research associate before joining the Yale faculty as an associate professor in endocrinology. During her 25-year faculty tenure, Dr. Comite founded and directed Women’s Health at Yale.
In 2005, she launched her bespoke medical practice, Comite Center for Precision Medicine & Healthy Longevity, in New York City and, subsequently expanded offices to Palo Alto and Miami Beach.
Through her medical practice and decades of clinical research, Dr. Comite recognized that all humans have inherited a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism (a glucose disorder leading toward diabetes), which is accelerated by aging and the natural decline of the hormones testosterone and estrogen, which begins around age 30.
Dr. Comite’s podcast delivers the truth about your health—that age-related disease begins early in life at the cellular level. By slowing and even reversing the biological aging process, we can stay active and in great health for life. She interviews renowned physicians, researchers, and thought leaders, offering surprising insights and practical tips that listeners can use to improve their own health trajectory.
