We'd love to hear from you. Today is May 28, 2025, and my guest is Dr. and author Eric Topel. This is his fourth appearance on the program. He was last year in June of 2019 talking about deep medicine.
Our topic for today is his new book, Super Agers, an evidence-based approach to longevity. Eric, welcome back to Econ Talk. Thanks so much, Russ. Great to be with you. This book is quite an extraordinary summary of what we know and do not know about the human body and its health.
