Tina Woods is a longevity strategist, systems thinker, and pioneer of the Human Exposome Project, a bold scientific and societal initiative redefining health as a collective endeavor. Pete Ward is a serial tech entrepreneur & co-founder of Humanity, a healthtech company using AI to help people extend their healthspan at scale. Together, they bring a powerful dual lens to the future of human health: systems change and individual action.
In this wide-ranging episode, we explore why the future of longevity will not be won through biohacking alone—but through radically reimagining the environments we live in. From air quality and loneliness to digital infrastructure, biomarkers, and government policy, Tina and Pete unpack the systemic drivers of healthy aging, and what it will take to change the odds for everyone, not just the 1%.
