Welcome to Alternatively Speaking, a KCSA Podcast Labs production. In our debut season, we're diving into a revolutionary concept in health span, longevity, and healthcare. Today, we welcome our first-ever guest, Jamie Justice, Executive Vice President of the Health Domain at XPRIZE Foundation and Adjunct Professor in Internal Medicine Section on Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, and Sticht Center on Healthy Aging and Alzheimer’s Prevention at Wake Forest University School of Medicine (WFUSM). Jamie is dedicated to Geroscience research that advances the hypothesis that by targeting the basic biology of aging the incidence of multiple age-related diseases can be delayed or prevented. Her training background at University of Colorado Boulder and WFUSM allowed her to lead translational research and clinical trials networks to test the Geroscience hypothesis in humans. At WFUSM, Jamie was director of the Biogerontology Lab, and co-leader of the Integrative Biology Core (IBC) of the WF Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC) and was a Principal Investigator of the National Institute of Aging-supported Geroscience Education and Training Network, an engaged member of the Translational Geroscience Network, Gerontological Society of America’s ESPO scientific section officer and executive committee member from 2018-2021. Jamie is the recipient of the Jarrahi Research Scholars Fund in Geroscience Innovation, the 2022 Vincent Cristofalo Rising Star in Aging Research, and the 2022 NIA Nathan W Shock Awardee. In her new role as EVP of Health Domain she will lead international networks to drive innovative solutions to improve human health and aging that is affordable and accessible to all. Podcast Highlights: Introduction & XPRIZE Foundation Origins (00:00 - 02:29): Overview of the longevity industry, the impact of the Ansari XPRIZE on private space travel, and XPRIZE’s influence on companies like SpaceX.

Translating Aging Research into Practice (10:22 - 13:10): Jamie’s work at Wake Forest, ongoing efforts to apply aging research in real-world settings, and the philosophical aspects of aging—living fully versus focusing on death. Healthspan vs. Lifespan & Longevity Goals (13:11 - 20:43): Exploring the concept of the ‘longevity dividend,’ aligning biological health with extended life, and the strategies to improve healthspan by optimizing current biology. XPRIZE HealthSPAN Award & Future of Aging Research (20:44 - 28:28): Introduction to the XPRIZE HealthSPAN Award program, the bold scientific goals it supports, challenges in aging research, and the collaborative efforts to advance the field.

Dr. Barzilai has been profiled by major outlets, including The New York Times, PBS’ “NOVA scienceNow” and National Geographic. Treatments for age-related diseases like type 2 diabetes are being developed based on Dr. Barzilai’s work and are currently in clinical trials. In addition to his “longevity gene” research, Dr. Barzilai studies key mechanisms involved in the biology of aging, including how nutrients and genetics influence lifespan. He is also investigating the physical and mental declines associated with aging and how they affect longevity. Dr. Barzilai is a professor of medicine (endocrinology) and of genetics, a member of the Diabetes Research Center, and director of the Diabetes Research and Training Center’s Animal Physiology core.
