Optispan is a vision for what health should be. The typical person gives up 10-20 years of quality life in exchange for disability, frailty, and early death. We call this "the lost decade". Time that should be spent with loved ones doing the activities you enjoy are instead spent suffering from multiple diseases and taking a cabinet full of medications that probably do as much harm as good.

  • Dr. K is great!

    So knowledgeable. We saw him speak live and have been big fans of his work. He definitely cuts through the noise and is truly doing ground breaking research in the longevity space, without a lot of the fluff quick fix advice that has muddied the field.

    I’ve heard ridiculous comments from guests, but that one tops the list.

    I’ve been a physician for 34 years and like every physician I have ever known, we obviously know that medical school is simply a springboard towards the goal for knowledge.

    Physicians read scientific, peer-reviewed journals, we have journal club to discuss recent articles, we attend scientific meetings, we are ... more

    Great information clearly delivered. I wish you were running the NHS in the UK or other equivalents around the world. Maybe with Peter Attia as well. Thank you Matt

  • Smartest and most ethical Dr in longevity

    Matt is the best. I have been taking rapamycin for 4 years and love his passion for the topic. He's an honest and trustworthy source for longevity news and information.
