I interview world-renowned medical practitioners, doctors, experts, and thought leaders, offering you a step-by-step guide and actionable advice to proactively avoid disease and optimize your health.

What if the real future of healthcare is preventing illness and optimizing human potential long before symptoms appear. In this episode of Extend, we sit down with Dr. David Luu, physician, former pediatric cardiac surgeon, and founder of the Longevity Docs movement. Dr. Luu shares his journey from high intensity surgery to longevity medicine, shaped by firsthand exposure to preventable disease, global health missions, and the realization that the current medical system is built for sick care, not health. We explore where longevity medicine is today, where it is heading, and why AI, wearables, and data access are transforming how people manage their health. Dr. Luu breaks down the shift from biohacking to bioliteracy, the need to train doctors as educators, and his Longevity Canvas framework for building a life that prioritizes both time and vitality.
