Dave Asprey & Peter Diamandis' XPRIZE: Missing the Mark on Mobility?"

In this video, I critically analyze a discussion between Dave Asprey and Peter Diamandis about longevity and the $100 million XPRIZE initiative to reverse aging. While their conversation dives into topics like gene therapy, follistatin therapy, and the possibility of achieving longevity escape velocity within the next six years, they miss a critical point: motor units.

Asprey and Diamandis explore why species like the Greenland shark and bowhead whale live centuries longer than humans and how this knowledge might be applied to extend human lifespan. However, none of their proposals address the loss of motor units—a silent and gradual process that begins in our 30s.

Fast-twitch motor units, essential for mobility, agility, and strength, are irreversibly lost over time. This loss is the "elephant in the room" that no one in longevity research seems to be addressing.

Without a focus on preserving motor units, all these advancements in gene therapy and other technologies are missing the mark. Longevity isn't just about living longer—it's about maintaining the functional ability to move, perform, and thrive.

Let’s explore why motor units are the foundation of true longevity and why ignoring them could make these high-profile longevity efforts incomplete.
