In this episode, Eric debunks some common myths about how to live a longer life and shares his surprising findings about what actually determines a person’s lifespan and healthspan. Adam inquires about the efficacy of health supplements, and he and Eric discuss steps for preventing diseases, the role of AI in medicine, and effective practices for living a longer, healthier life.</p><br><p><strong>Host &amp; Guest</strong></p><p>Adam Grant (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamgrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adamgrant</a> | LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/adammgrant" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@adammgrant</a> | Website: <a href="https://adamgrant.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://adamgrant.net/</a>)</p><p>Eric Topol (Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/erictopol1/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@erictopol1</a> | Website: <a href="https://drerictopol.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://drerictopol.com/</a>)&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Books:<strong> </strong><a href="https://drerictopol.com/books/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://drerictopol.com/books/</a></p><p>Substack: <a href="https://erictopol.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://erictopol.substack.com/</a></p><br><p><strong>Follow TED!&nbsp;</strong></p><p>X:<a href="https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.instagram.com/ted</a></p><p>Facebook:<a href="https://facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://facebook.com/TED</a></p><p>LinkedIn:<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences</a></p><p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks%C2%A0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks&nbsp;</a></p><p>Podcasts:<a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.ted.com/podcasts</a></p><p>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ted.com/podcasts/worklife/worklife-with-adam-grant-transcripts</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
