In this episode, I speak with longevity advocate and filmmaker Marek Piotrowski, founder of the Live Beyond project. Marek spent a year traveling across five continents and 39 countries with his son Alek, interviewing more than 100 scientists, doctors, and innovators working on aging and human health.

We talk about what he learned from Blue Zones, longevity clinics, and leading researchers around the world, and why he believes prevention and diagnostics are the true foundation of longevity.

We also discuss the role of muscle in healthy aging, strength training, GLP-1 medications, and why lifestyle changes matter more than most people think.

Topics we cover include:

• why “prevention is king” for longevity
• when you should start thinking about longevity
• muscle loss with aging and how to fight it
• GLP-1 drugs and the risk of losing lean mass
• the mindset shift needed to live longer and better
• simple daily habits that support healthspan

Marek is currently preparing the film Live Beyond: Quest for Longevity and the book Live Beyond: How to Win Your Longevity Game, both based on his global journey.
