The Science of Longevity

Have you ever stopped to think about how the health of your skin might be the first indicator of your overall well-being? Could the antioxidants you’re consuming be the key to preventing cellular damage and inflammation? In this episode of the Peak Human Labs Podcast, Dr. Goel sits down with Dr. Cory Goldberg, a leading plastic surgeon and longevity expert, to discuss the powerful connection between skin health and overall wellness. They dive into how antioxidants can help maintain youthful skin, the benefits of exosomes, and why skin health is such a clear indicator of your body’s overall well-being. Dr. Goldberg also shares insights on "Beauty Span"—a holistic approach to beauty that goes beyond the surface. Plus, he offers expert advice on skincare, sun protection, and the surprising benefits of supplements like glycine and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Tune in to discover how you can improve both your skin and overall health.
