Dr. Helen Messier on AI, Epigenetics & the Future of Aging | SNH Podcast #165

In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Dr. Helen Messier joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a wide-ranging and thought-provoking conversation about longevity, epigenetics, AI-powered medicine, and the real meaning of healthspan. From whole genome sequencing to digital twins and emotional resilience, this episode bridges cutting-edge science with deeply human healing in a way that challenges how we think about aging.

Join us as we delve into:

• The difference between lifespan and healthspan — and why resilience matters more than years

• Whole genome sequencing, polygenic risk scores, and the limits of genetic hype

• Multi-omics medicine: genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and systems biology

• AI in healthcare, digital twins, and the return of the "country doctor" model

This episode is for you if:

• You're curious about biological age vs. chronological age

• You want to understand what genetic testing can (and can't) tell you

• You're fascinated by AI's role in the future of personalized medicine

• You want smarter, not harder ways to build resilience and optimize longevity
