Is aging really inevitable—or have we just accepted it as fact?

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Julian Gershon, triple-board-certified physician and author of Beyond the Fountain of Youth, for a deep (and surprisingly fun) dive into what it really takes to live longer, feel younger, and reclaim energy you thought was long gone. Dr. Gershon blends advanced medical training with a deeply human approach to aging—one that prioritizes vitality, confidence, and joy, not just lab numbers.

From hormone optimization and regenerative medicine to practical tweaks in sleep, nutrition, and mindset, this conversation is full of insights that might just change how you think about your next decade (and the one after that).

Dr. Gershon is the founder of the Aspen Institute for Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine (aspeninstituteclinic.com), where he helps people create personalized health plans that actually make a difference. For more content like this, check out the full Aging series on melissabphd.com.
