Lifespan vs Healthspan: Separating Longevity Science from Hype (Part 1)

Lifespan vs. healthspan is the question behind a booming longevity industry of biological age tests, DNA reports, peptide therapies, IV infusions, and stem cell injections. How much of this is sound science, and how much is expensive marketing wrapped in impressive language? In this first episode of a new series, Dr. Mike Hauman reveals the truth behind the modern longevity movement.

Dr. Mike defines the critical distinction between lifespan (how long you live) and health span (how well you live), and explains why the growing gap between the two is a concern. He examines the biology of aging, the promise of geroscience, and the limitations of commercial biological age testing and unproven interventions. With wisdom and discernment, he helps listeners evaluate longevity claims by asking the right questions.

This episode places the entire discussion under a biblical framework, reminding us that our hope is not in defeating death through technology, but in the One who already conquered it. If you've been curious about longevity treatments or feel overwhelmed by the hype, this conversation provides the clarity you need.

Tune in to learn how to pursue health span with purpose, not fear.
