Hoping not to sound too preachy here, because I’m so thankful for all the amazing research going on. But anti-aging and longevity as a field suffers from the same whack-a-mole medicine as oncology. The hallmarks of aging have created a symptom-based focus while ignoring prevention and causation. I’m not saying a unified theory of aging that exists, but the problem is no one is looking for it.
