THE RACE TO 150

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Reaching an age of 150 years could be a breakthrough point in human longevity, as it would likely mean that many age-related diseases have been cured or managed, and that the body's natural decline has been significantly slowed. Achieving this milestone could lead to an exponential increase in healthy life expectancy, making it theoretically possible to live indefinitely in good health. A fundamental shift, from a "sick care" approach to a true "health care" approach focused on preventing and reversing the underlying causes of aging and disease, is needed to get there.
