The State of Longevity

The longevity movement has moved into the mainstream, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and ChatGPT, which made complex medical information accessible in plain English, according to a new survey of 500 randomly selected U.S. consumers examining views on topics from peptides to brain-computer interfaces. The report argues that Americans are increasingly spending more time, money and energy on health and longevity outside traditional doctor and insurance channels. It identifies the biggest opportunities for founders in companies that help people take action and manage their health over time, noting there is currently no single place to manage healthcare as records remain scattered. The findings are accompanied by podcast conversations with figures at the cutting edge of health and technology, beginning with Andrew Huberman discussing his daily routines around food, exercise, supplements and sleep. What to watch next: whether startups can consolidate fragmented health records and convert consumer interest into sustained engagement.
