The Sheekey Science Show | Bioelectricity as an longevity intervention - Benjamin Anderson @TheSheekeyScienceShow | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Today’s discussion features Benjamin Anderson, a friend of mine from St. Louis and who i would consider a life long learner. He has previously built WAND, an Uber-like platform for booking housekeepers and more recently is an executive producer for the Vance Crowe podcast. However, here i talk with Ben about his independent research in aging and bioelectric networks through independent research and why he thinks this may be a good intervention point for longevity.
