Eric Topol (Super Agers: An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity) is a cardiologist, researcher, and author. Eric returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss being Monica’s epilepsy consultant after their early interview, recent findings suggesting that AI aids doctors in providing better care, and an intense gag order suppressing getting a detrimental drug taken off the market. Eric and Dax talk about hospital beds that can monitor people as they sleep, no one having yet done a healthy aging study of genomics, and the true anecdote that inspired him to write his new book. Eric explains creating a segue to effectively prevent diseases we never could before, how Viagra was initially a failed blood pressure medication, and why despite troubling trends in diseases he remains optimistic about the future of aging.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Mike Shepard and I'm joined by Lily Padman. Hi. Hi. Returning guest from the early, from the bygone era.
That's right.
And this is, there have been a few guests that have really captured our heart.
It's true.
We fall in love with their spirit.
We do.
And Eric Topol's like at the top of that list. We think he is the cutest person alive.
And smart as all heck.
Outrageously smart. He is a cardiologist, a scientist, an author, and the director and founder of Scripps Research Institute. His books include Deep Medicine, The Patient, We'll See You Now. That's what we had him on for last time. And now his new book, which is out, Super Agers, An Evidence-Based Approach to Longevity. This was a blast.
