Summary
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. In this episode, Sandra shares how a personal curiosity about why we age at the cellular level ultimately drew her away from a successful anesthesia career and into the world of building longevity strategies for real people. 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.
