Health Leaders Talk Longevity Research [Watch (HLS stream): Could Today’s Children Live To 150 Years Old? Health Leaders Talk Longevity Research](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/ZQmVkGAL.m3u8) (23:05)  _Published 2026-09-11. Panelists at the 2026 TIME100 Health Leadership Forum discussed the latest in longevity research._ by [Chantelle Lee](https://time.com/author/chantelle-lee/) ## Chantelle Lee Reporter David Sinclair, a professor at Harvard Medical School, has [said](https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/01/has-first-person-to-live-to-be-150-been-born/) that he thinks the first person who will live to the age of 150 is already alive today. During a panel discussion about longevity at the TIME100 Health Leadership Forum in New York City on Sept. 10, TIME executive editor Nikhil Kumar asked Sinclair what motivated him to say that. “Children born today will live into the 22nd century, and just think about in the last five years what’s happened to our world; it’s barely recognizable when it comes to AI and even the healthcare world,” Sinclair replied. “So, in the 22nd century, children born today are going to have access to technologies that we literally cannot even imagine now.” Sinclair was joined on stage by Jennifer Garrison, a neuroscientist with expertise in the women’s health biotech field, and Jack Jia, the founder and CEO of Musely, a telehealth platform aimed at expanding access to personalized prescription care that sponsored the event on Sept. 10. Garrison’s longevity work focuses largely on women’s health, in particular on [ovaries](https://time.com/collections/the-age-of-longevity/7338546/ovaries-unlock-secrets-longevity/)—something she said affects not just women, but everyone, because “understanding the differences between male bodies and female bodies gives us levers with which to develop medicines.” “When we miss female physiology, we’ve essentially left out half of the picture,” she said. For example, she said, female bodies tend to be better at fighting viruses than male bodies. Researchers don’t fully understand why, but if they were able to understand those differences, it could help better equip the medical community to treat everyone depending on their needs, Garrison argued. When Kumar asked her how far along the medical field is in understanding these differences, Garrison replied, “We’re pretty far behind, as it turns out.” But, she continued, “Everyone understands that there’s a challenge here that we’ve got a data gap, that we’ve got this systemic bias about our research, that we’re essentially, I think, generations behind.” “It’s not years. It’s not decades. It’s generations behind in terms of the data,” she said. “So we’re catching up, but it’s going to take a while.” During the conversation, Jia shared that he was inspired to expand Musely beyond being a skincare tip platform after his wife’s struggle to find effective treatments for her [melasma](https://time.com/7000763/sweat-heat-sensitive-skin/). “This kind of wellness or cosmetics conditions are everyone’s problem,” Jia said. But “the entire healthcare system is not designed to solve that problem; it’s designed to solve that real sick person who is dying.” Since then, Jia has broadened Musely’s scope to include resources and treatments for proactive health and longevity. Kumar went on to ask the panelists what they think about the recent “explosion in testing” in the longevity space—how people are getting all kinds of tests and scans to, they claim, optimize living longer and better. Garrison said that, where there is evidence for the test, it’s a great option. But that is not always the case. “I think we can all acknowledge that there’s a little bit of a credibility issue in the longevity space, and a lot of the products that are marketed are either poorly supported by evidence or outright pseudoscience,” Garrison said. “For women, the amount of information and marketing that comes at us these days is crazy. And part of the problem is that it’s very hard as a consumer, as someone who’s not a scientist or a doctor, to really make the call between, ‘Is this real or not?’” Sinclair expressed concerns that what people used to consider to be “fringe” behaviors, such as injecting oneself with peptides or taking drugs that have not yet been proven to be effective in humans, is becoming more common. “I wonder where we’re going to go,” he said. “But I do applaud the fact that people do have the right, with their doctors … to try something if there’s nothing else that works, and there’s no seemingly bad downside.” “I thought that five years ago, in my opinion, the regulations were so strict that even people who were suffering or dying couldn’t get medicines,” he continued. “That was too extreme in my view, but we’ve gone with the other extreme.” _The TIME100 Health Leadership Forum was presented by the American Cancer Society, Kite—a Gilead Sciences company, Insulet, Musely, and NMDP._ ## Transcript We're talking about longevity. And I want to start with you, David, and I want to start with a little factoid, which you may already be familiar with, that the oldest person to have ever lived was a French woman whose name I'm going to butcher. Jeanne Calment, who lived for 122 years and 164 days. She met Vincent van Gogh in 1888. Didn't like him. And just before she died, she had a prescription for longevity, which was a cigarette after dinner, port wine after dinner, and lots of olive oil. Now, I bring this up because you think I've read that you've said that the first person who's going to surpass her record by a lot and live to 150 is already among us, in fact, maybe in this room. So if I could ask you to kick us off, why you think that and what your prescription is, what is it that motivates you to say that? And is it still 150 or has that number gone up or down? Oh, gee. All right. So talk about putting me on the spot. Right. But what's interesting. Um, before I give a one word answer, yes or no. But what's interesting is that often people who live a long time don't live well, and they're protected by genes, and there's a fair amount of luck as well. Um, and often people say, well, is it okay if I smoke then because she lived long. The answer is absolutely not. She was very, very lucky. And there's even controversy whether she switched places with her daughter or not. Um, but nevertheless, some people do live to their late 100 and tens. So we know that's a fact. So there's a big, big gap between the average human lifespan and these people. So there's a lot of room to work with, even if we don't break her barrier. But the reason that I think we will is because children born today will live into the 22nd century. And just think about in the last five years, what's happened to our world. It's barely recognizable when it comes to AI and even the healthcare world. And so in the 22nd century, children born today are going to have access to technologies that we literally cannot even imagine now. So it's not a straight line. Technology is never a straight line, and we can see health going like this. Jennifer, your approach to longevity is really fascinating because you focus on women's health. You stress particularly on the focus on ovaries and, and it's because you make the point that it affects not just women, but all of us. Tell us about that. Yeah. It's important for everybody in the room, not just if you have a female in your life that you care about. Um, it turns out that understanding sex differences, so understanding female bodies are clearly very different from male bodies. And that extends not just to what you can see on the outside, but all the way down to the cellular level, to the molecular level. We're very different and beautifully complex, and understanding the differences between male bodies and female bodies gives us levers with which to develop medicines. And so when we miss female physiology, we've, you know, we've essentially left out half of the picture. And, you know, one really great example is of differences is immune systems, right? So females are better at dealing with viruses. Our immune responses are generally stronger to vaccines. And during Covid, we know that males died at twice the rate of females. And you know, that's because of immune system differences that we don't understand. If we understood why females, for example, are more susceptible to autoimmunity, but then are better at, at, at dealing with viruses. This would have given us a lever to, to try to, you know, treat males during, during that particular part of the part of history. How, how far along are we in understanding these things? We're pretty far behind. As it turns out, and I think it's really important that we don't admire the problem anymore. I think everyone is everyone understands that, that there's a challenge here, that we've got a data gap, that we've got this systemic bias in biomedical research, you know, and that that we're essentially, I think, generations behind. It's not years, it's not decades. It's generations behind in terms of the data. So, you know, we're catching up, but it's going to take a while. So if some of the science and data is generations behind, certainly the interest in this seems to be kind of exploding. And one part of it is, of course, in all the work that both of you do. Another part is the kind of demand, I suppose, Jack, that you're seeing. Tell us a bit about muesli, because when you started off, longevity wasn't the focus, but that's where you've kind of ended up, among other things. Absolutely not. It was a very personal need. So for people who don't know, my wife had this condition called melasma since our son was born. So she developed this dark spots due to pregnancy. It's called pregnancy mask. For 24 years she was trying to find solutions. Tried hundreds of creams. Didn't work. Six years of laser didn't work. Her melasma got worse. So I'm a, you know, Silicon Valley guy and tech entrepreneur. But bioscience was not part of my deal. And I was just tinkering with, um, some products. And then we saw, oh, you know, there's a lot of new product came along and then potentially solve this kind of problem because we thought there has to be something better. But then we built a marketplace and with 900 skincare products that didn't solve the problem. That was like 70 years ago. But accidentally, I ran into our now chief medical officer, Doctor Marie Jin, and she said, well, there is a solution, but it's just something that the current medical system, health care system doesn't care because it is a cosmetic solution. I mean, condition that your wife has and you know, that's not a health problem. And our current health care is really it's a sick care system, right? It's for someone who have real serious condition, life threatening condition. So your cosmetic condition just nobody cares. But there is a solution. But we have to make the medications ourselves. So long story short, seven years ago we started to compound the medications with 12% hydroquinone and a bunch of other ingredients. In one month, her melasma was cured and it's been never been better. Her skin is now seven years later and turned out she wasn't alone. We have now 1.3 million patients. Most of the patients would say the same. Same thing. I tried everything, everything else. And the kitchen sink. Nothing worked until your compounded medications. And so that kind of brings the whole problem of of health care system, why it was not designed for this kind of thing, because this kind of wellness or cosmetics conditions are everyone's problem. The entire health care system is not designed to solve that problem. It's designed to solve that real sick person who is dying. And we have insurance coverage. So it costs a lot, right? The drug development is very expensive. And and it costs $2 billion for ten years to develop a new drug. And that drug is frozen after that invention. So it's not a good way to solve this everyone's wellness problem. So that's how we got into it. And then, you know, fast forward seven years, I actually solved the problem of myself. So I so that's where we got into the longevity from skin to hair to women and, you know, menopausal condition HRT to actually real longevity issues because I had developed. I'm 63 years old, so I developed this foot pain. You know, 13 years ago, I couldn't really exercise much anymore. And I thought that was also untreatable condition. I saw every therapist, every doctor, um, every, every solution, nothing worked. And then our, our doctors, our pharmacists, we compound everything. And they said, we do have solutions. And so we developed this age. Well, pill, um, only five ingredients. In fact, some of the ingredients, uh, David really loves, um, you know, and we, I mean, I was just almost magic in, in one month, one and a half month, my pain went away, my back pain went away, my foot pain went away. And I feel like an age reversed 20 years. How do you given where the science is and given how it's evolving? Because it's evolving really fast. I'm going to speak to David in a second about AI and so on. So I'm just flagging that question. Um, but how do you, um, how do you mediate that? Because there's so much going on. People are getting a lot of information. Um, people are coming to you for a lot of things. How do you ensure that what you're providing, like the journalist in me wonders, how do you get it right? Yeah. So yeah, especially on longevity, I think the biggest solution right now is biohacking, right? Everyone is biohacking. And from billionaires to everyday person, and there's so much information, but these are medications. These are real medicines. They are certainly, you know, potentially efficacious, but they're also potentially very dangerous, very lethal and very dangerous. So the biohacking is not a way for society to adopt. So we must provide medical supervision. And in these drugs that we're using are old drugs. They are very inexpensive. In fact, they're so inexpensive because the pharmaceutical industry are no longer care about them, right? No one's out there promoting them. A few doctor knows about them, few pharmacists knows about them. But the general population simply did not know. Right? My wife did not know. Even she tried. She talked to everyone she could find for 24 years. Could not find that solution. Um, David, um, about AI and the intersection of just innovative technologies and the kind of work that you do. How much of a difference has it already made to what you do at your lab and to your colleagues? And has it sort of lived up to expectations? I'm wondering, because we, of course, hear so much about it and it has immense promise. I'm wondering what you're seeing because you're sort of at the sharp edge. Well, in my lab, we don't go a day without using AI. And it's not just asking questions. It's really using it to look at all the data in the world that we can access and ask questions that would have taken us centuries to answer. Um, one example is we have, uh, we've shown using Professor Shinya Yamanaka original factors that a subset of those can so far, seemingly, at least in animals reverse aging safely, or at least epigenetic aging, as we call it. And we hope that it will be useful to treat not just glaucoma, which is the current human trial, but perhaps other and eventually the whole body of diseases, age related diseases. Now, what we have realized is that there's probably a a backup copy of youth in every cell. And so we're not making stem cells like Professor Yamanaka did for his Nobel Prize. We're actually restoring the function of old cells that have lost their function and lost their ability to read genes correctly. And how they do that, we think, is that there's a storage of youthful data in our cells that we don't know what it is. And along came a 19 year old this summer Who knew really how to use the power of AI and analyzed exabytes of data that you can get from the world. And he might have cracked it. And this is just a kid who just got out of high school. And that's just one example of how powerful this tool is that a kid might solve. One of the biggest problems in biology. You say, might have you you're not certain you're skeptical? Well, I'm hopeful, but we have to test the theory. We've been testing this theory, this idea that there's this backup copy G for now, five years and great claims and great breakthroughs require extraordinary evidence. So publicly. I'm not prepared to say that we've found it, but I would say that we might have. Fascinating. Jennifer. So if one part of the technology story is AI, another part, it seems to me, is certainly on a consumer everyday level is the kind of explosion in testing is the best way that I can put it right. People going out and they have access to all kinds of things, all kinds of scans. They're often doing it. They say to optimize for longer life, a better life. What do you think about it? I think that where there's evidence that's great, right? And we always talk about evidence. There's levels of evidence. And I think that for something to reach the standard at which an individual should pursue it, whether through a doctor's prescription or a doctor leading them down that path or through a direct to consumer route. I think it really depends on on how much evidence there is. And the gold standard that we talk about for evidence is, is double blind, placebo controlled studies. You can't always do that for for a scan or but but we can, I think, pretty reliably draw the line between things that are experimental and things that have really good, solid science behind them. and for, you know, for, for women. Um, it's really dramatic, right? I mean, I think we can all acknowledge that there's a little bit of a credibility issue with the longevity space. And a lot of the products that are marketed are either poorly supported by evidence or outright pseudoscience. And for women, the amount of information and marketing that comes at us these days is it's a it's crazy. And, you know, part of the problem is that it's very hard as a consumer, as someone who's not a scientist or a doctor, to really make the call between, you know, is this real or not? Um, so, you know, I always tell people to look at who's number one, who's telling you, who's trying to sell it to you. And, and are they also then trying to provide you care? You know, and hold up these red flags. But um, at this moment, uh, it's it's bananas. Um, what are you seeing? Yeah. I actually must come to you with a lot of these tests. Yeah. When we decided to get into the longevity space because with the same model, it started about three years ago, but we didn't release our first product until a year ago, 12 months ago. And when we, our doctors and pharmacists and chemists start working on it, we have several dozen of them. Um, basically there were hundreds of ingredients that people talk about that has some benefit. But when we dove into the details and the studies and try to find them, and they were really maybe 30, that was actually with real sort of double blinded, controlled studies with a sizable sample size. Um, so that was kind of our base. Okay, these 30 ingredients, you can't put them into one pill that will be the pill will be gigantic. So we decided to divide it into different systems of our body. So our age will pill, for example, was about our energy production, mitochondria, health and metabolic health. And you know, really only five ingredients. And that was the one that cured my foot pains. And, you know, all of a sudden, my energy was back. I don't know, it was too magical for me to even believe it's real. Um, and then since then, we released a few other systems. So we divided up into maybe your sleep, your gut, your skin health, you know, to treat within. I think that's at least our, our, our approach to this sort of real health care, right? Not the sick care system, which, you know, there's a whole system that's already built for that. Um, we don't, we can make them very accessible and very affordable because these drugs are so cheap and so available. Just no one puts them together, compound them in a facility. We have 80,000 square root compounding facility. So we so we have the discipline and the medical supervision for our patients. That's where I think what's lacking right now is the, you know, the wild, wild west of biohacking. Um, David, if I might get your perspective on this sort of explosion of testing and people trying to almost self optimize. Oh. So when I wrote about it in my book lifespan, um, it sounded to a lot of people initially like science fiction that you would see a doctor online and your drugs would arrive by mail or by drone. Um, and then the pandemic hit a few months later and it's become reality. And it's been remarkable to me to see, um, around the world, but particularly in LA where, um, Serena lives, Serena and I live and we are. Seeing that what used to be considered a fringe behavior, injecting yourself with peptides and taking things that are not yet proven in humans, just a mouse study or even a fly study. Um, it's a very strange world that I didn't think I'd see in my lifetime. I thought in the future it would come, but it's come in really in just the last few years. And I wonder where we're going to go. I don't know where this is headed. Whether it's a blip and we'll reverse maybe with a new administration, or if this is a trend of experiments being done across the world on individuals. So if I'm understanding you, right, you think it's come too fast. Um, I would say in some regards, yes. Especially when you hear of individuals making side money, injecting peptides into patients that don't really have the qualifications to do those things. It's almost like a. Drug drug dealers, but that's a bit too extreme. But yeah, there's a lot going on. Um, but I do applaud the fact that people do have the right with their doctors, real doctors, permission to try something. If there's nothing else that works and there's no seemingly bad downside. You know, I thought that five years ago, in my opinion, the regulations were so strict that even people who were suffering or dying couldn't get medicines. That was too extreme, in my view. But we've gone the other extreme now. Um, so we just have a little bit of time. And I have one question which I wanted to put to all three of you. Um, perhaps starting with you again, David. Um, given where we are with the state of this science and you know more about it than most, how long do you want to live? How long do you think? Yeah, I have to keep revising my predictions also. I mean, if these if these trials work that are underway for the epigenetic age restoration, then then we may get to choose how long we live. That would be quite the thing. Now, I don't know if we're going to end up in that universe, or if we need to go back and try a different method. Um, but I do ask myself all the time how long I want to live, and I cannot see a day when I'll want to die if I'm healthy. I'm surrounded by my friends and family. Um, my father is 87. He's in perfect health. He's not looking to die anytime soon. So I think the reason people want to die is that they are sick and suffering. But if we feel like we all do today, and I think you all look pretty happy to me, why would you say, all right, tomorrow? I'm I'm I want to die. I don't think that happens, but maybe there are some people that don't like this life, but I think we only get one. That's my opinion and it's super valuable. It's a gift. And to throw it away voluntarily would be crazy, in my view. Jennifer. 62. I'm just kidding. Sorry. I don't know that you're going to get a different answer out of all of us. Yeah. And I'm 50 right now, to be clear. Uh, I mean, I want to live for as long as I'm healthy, right? You're on the edge of death. Yeah. I want to live for as long as I'm healthy. And I don't mean that to sound trite. Um, but, you know, I love my life. I'm very excited to be alive. And and I'm certain that that is because I'm I'm healthy and, you know, reasonably well off and very, very, very fortunate, um, just to be here. Um, so for as long as I can be healthy and I don't know what that number is going to be, particularly because I happen to be female and I own a pair of ovaries. Um, you know, I, we tend to, you know, we statistically speaking, females are, are going to spend more time in poor health at the end of their lives. And, um, so, you know, trying to solve that problem right now. Well, hopefully you are. Selfishly. I mean, we all hope you are. Yeah, I, when I start developing my foot pains, I used to play soccer for 30 years. I played outside of Stanford, uh, field every weekend. Um, so I feel like I can live forever, but once starts have the pain and my back pain. And if I sit on my chair in the morning for half an hour. Try to stand up. I can't even bend my back straight. And I just didn't feel like life was that wonderful anymore. I didn't want to die, but I don't think I enjoyed. But once I get my health really back magically with this pill and and and even people around me, my wife felt the same way. Even her parents took the pill, 91 years old, decided not to travel internationally last year because the pain they were feeling and then all of a sudden took the pill. They said, well, they literally they're going to travel internationally again this year. And so and I feel like the same way if I'm healthy, if I have my friends, you know what David said? Um, and I watch sometimes the kids playing in the, in the, in the park, they don't walk actually, they run. Right. I start to feel when I'm walking, I want to run again. That's kind of how I feel. If you're healthy. That's a great note to end on. Well, thank you very much. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/from-living-longer-to-living-better-the-new-lens-of-longevity/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/from-living-longer-to-living-better-the-new-lens-of-longevity/"},"headline":"Could Today’s Children Live to 150 Years Old?
