Today, I’m joined by the one and only Dr. Sandra Kaufmann—a true pioneer in the field of personalized longevity medicine and the creative force behind the Kaufman Protocol.

She opens up about the moment longevity became more than just an intellectual pursuit, and the surprising ways her work has grown into a global movement.
