    Dr. Lindsay Wu is a Senior Research Fellow at UNSW Sydney, leading the Laboratory for Ageing Research, and has co-founded several biotechnology companies, including Life BioSciences and Jump Start Fertility, focusing on interventions to maintain healthy ageing.


    This podcast was all about Australia’s standing in terms of longevity—how we measure up against other countries, how our health compares to Blue Zones, and whether Blue Zones are even real. We also highlighted the importance of community, weight training, and some practical advice he’d share. Additionally, we discussed Dr. Wu’s collaboration with renowned longevity expert Dr. David Sinclair, along with much more.
