Short Summary:
Professor and longevity expert Andrea Maier, MD, PhD, joins Alexia Brue to explore how aging is no longer a fixed destiny, but increasingly a modifiable risk factor. As co-founder of Singapore-based Chi Longevity Clinics, Dr. Maier shares how her team is translating epigenetic science, precision medicine, and behavioral coaching into scalable interventions for healthspan. From biological aging clocks to the future of annual checkups, this episode offers a pragmatic look at how medicine is slowly shifting from sick care to proactive longevity care.
