What if the goal isn't simply to live longer—but to live better, for longer?
In this special kickoff episode of The Vitals Healthspan Miniseries, guest host Shruti Naik sits down with Mount Sinai experts Fiorina Kyritsi, MD, Miriam Merad, MD, PhD, and Zahi Fayad, PhD, to explore the science of aging—and why the future of medicine may be less about extending lifespan and more about expanding healthspan.
The panel breaks down:
What aging actually is,
Why scientists still don't fully understand "healthy aging."
How emerging research is helping identify the biomarkers that may one day predict—and potentially improve—our aging trajectories.
The panel also separates evidence from hype, tackling supplements, social media longevity trends, personalized medicine, and the promise of large-scale research initiatives like the XPRIZE Healthspan competition.
