In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Helen Messier joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation about longevity, epigenetics, AI-powered medicine, and the real meaning of healthspan. From whole genome sequencing to digital twins and emotional resilience, this episode bridges cutting-edge science with deeply human healing in a way that challenges how we think about aging.
Join us as we delve into:
-
The difference between lifespan and healthspan — and why resilience matters more than years
-
Whole genome sequencing, polygenic risk scores, and the limits of genetic hype
-
Multi-omics medicine: genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and systems biology
-
AI in healthcare, digital twins, and the return of the “country doctor” model
This episode is for you if:
-
You’re curious about biological age vs. chronological age
-
You want to understand what genetic testing can (and can’t) tell you
-
You’re fascinated by AI’s role in the future of personalized medicine
-
You want smarter, not harder ways to build resilience and optimize longevity
