Ground Truths · Katie Couric and Eric Topol: On the State of US Life Science and Extending Healthspan · 12 Jun 2025 podcast

And I mean, just crazy.

Now, should anybody, my patients, they often come in and they have a long list of supplements, you know, that they take.

I say, you know, that's really good to enrich your urine.

but you don't need these things because you have a very healthy diet.

So for people who are healthy without a specific deficiency, like a vitamin deficiency or something, there's no benefit to taking any of these supplements.

There may be some specific reasons that certain people, because of their dietary intolerance or a vitamin deficiency, that's a different matter.

But otherwise, again, we just don't have evidence that they have benefit.

And we have people that are taking hundreds of these

Like, you know, Brian Johnson and, you know, Ray Kurzweil and advocating that they're following followers.

And it's just crazy.

Yeah, I mean, I like the holistic part of this, that when we see a person and trying to evaluate their health and promote their health span, we should be thinking about everything, their mental health, every organ.

I mean, that's what's exciting now is we actually have organ clocks.

We have specific protein markers.

We even have a protein score for health span that just got published this past week.

I mean, we have new ways to get at

this total body brain, total body health.

And like, for example, a lot of people have no idea that there's a marker for Alzheimer's, which is incredibly accurate and can be picking up the risk two decades ahead.

Well, you know, if you have a family history of Alzheimer's,

and you have, let's say, an APOE4 allele, you would want to know because if your PTAL217 is low, that is liberating.

And if it's high, if you exercise, if you need to lose weight, if you have a better diet and better sleep health, it markedly lowers this marker.
