What if we could predict aging more accurately than ever before? In this episode of Decoding Longevity, we sit down with Dr. Amin Haghani (Altos Lab) to explore EnsembleAge, a powerful new epigenetic clock designed to integrate multiple biomarkers into a single measure of biological age.
We discuss: Why EnsembleAge could represent the “next generation” of aging clocks 🧬
The challenges of combining multiple models into one robust predictor
How epigenetic data is reshaping aging and longevity science
The clinical potential for personalized health, disease prevention, and lifespan interventions
Whether you’re a longevity researcher, clinician, or simply curious about the science of aging, this episode dives deep into how multi-model approaches can transform the way we understand and measure aging.
👉 Don’t miss this insightful conversation with one of the leading voices in epigenetic aging research.

What if the future of medicine is not about what is “normal” for everyone, but what is normal for you?
What if we could slow biological aging itself—not just treat the diseases that come with it? In Episode 34 of Decoding Longevity, Raghav Sehgal and Dr. Macsue Jacques sit down with Professor Matt Kaeberlein to explore the biology of aging and what it might mean to actually intervene in the aging process. They discuss mTOR and rapamycin, the debate around rapamycin in humans, and why Matt believes some recent evidence has been misunderstood. The conversation also covers the Dog Aging Project, the TRIAD trial, Aura Biomedical, AI-powered lifespan research, and the future of longevity biotech. From yeast and worms to dogs and humans, this episode explores how we can move from understanding aging to potentially changing it.
Could a shingles vaccine also influence dementia? In Episode 33 of Decoding Longevity, Dr. Raghav Sehgal and Dr. Macsue Jacques are joined by Dr. Moshe Shay Ben-Haim to explore his team’s findings linking the Shingrix vaccine with improved survival and cognitive preservation in people living with dementia. They discuss trained immunity, latent viruses, epigenetics, and what this surprising connection could mean for the future of neurodegeneration and longevity research. Importantly, the findings are observational and do not establish Shingrix as a treatment for dementia.
What if your immune system is one of the engines driving aging?
Can two people of the same age be aging at completely different speeds? In this episode, Dr. Raghav Sehgal and Dr. Macsue Jacques speak with Associate Professor Daniel W. Belsky about the science behind DunedinPACE and why measuring the pace of aging may be more valuable than estimating biological age. The conversation covers the Dunedin Study, aging biomarkers, the CALERIE trial, and the ARPA-H FAST Initiative—offering a look at how researchers are building the next generation of tools to evaluate longevity interventions.
