Season 3, Episode 22: The Pursuit of Immortality

The pursuit of immortality is a fundamental theme in human culture. It reflects our deep fear of death and our desire to transcend our limits. Across myth and literature, this quest involves a long line of experimental medicines, magic elixirs, and life-extending devices, shifting from ancient alchemy to modern cellular science. Supplements like peptides, vitamins like B3 or nicotinamide, and even cancer drugs have been promoted. Devices and technologies like cryogenics, light therapy, advanced wearables, stem-cells, and genetic engineering add to the immortality arsenal. On this episode, we’ll discuss longevity and lifestyle management, not as a fringe fetish of the billionaire tech class and celebrity influencers, but as an increasingly mainstream medical construct to combat the diseases of modernity.
