The Longevity Trap Podcast · Launching October 2026
Cutting through the hype, so you can actually live well.
Two friends who’ve been inside the longevity industry — one as an investor, one as a clinician — look honestly at one claim every week, with curiosity, evidence, and humor. We tell you what’s worth it, what isn’t, and we never make you feel foolish for trying.
Every episode ends with a verdict
Green light. Yellow light. Red light.
Green Light
The evidence is real, and it’s worth your time. We show you the simplest way to do it — usually free or close to it.
Yellow Light
Interesting but unproven. If you enjoy it and can afford it, no harm done — here’s exactly where the evidence gets thin.
Red Light
Probably not worth the money. We explain why the research doesn’t support the claim — and what to do instead.
The format
One claim, both sides, thirty minutes.
Each week we take a single topic in the longevity space — a device, a supplement, a protocol, a promise — and walk it through the same honest sequence. And every episode closes on the affirmative: something free or nearly free you can actually do this week.

Our Story
“We almost became the people we wrote this book to help.” How an engineer with seventeen morning supplements and a clinician who read the actual research found their way out.
Continuous Glucose Monitors
Is your blood sugar telling you something important — or just creating new anxiety? Ben wore a CGM for six months. Loree read what the research supports for non-diabetics.
Cold Plunges
“I have a very expensive ice bath in my garage. Loree, tell me it was worth it.” What the cold-exposure evidence actually shows.
