Our take

AI-drafted

Topol's case rests on a distinction that reframes the entire longevity conversation: the goal is not maximal lifespan but healthspan, the years lived free of the chronic disease that erodes quality of life long before it kills. He grounds the book in data on genetics, inflammation, and metabolic health rather than supplement-aisle speculation.
