    #E50 In This Sickcare System, We Will Have to Empower Ourselves, With Dr. Nas Al-Jafari

    “But if you look at the diseases and what people are suffering with today, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, the health system hasn't been designed to deal with them,” Dr. Nas Al Jafari, Medical Director of DNA Health Clinic and Functional Medicine Specialist, told me on this episode of HYPERSCALE. Dr. Nas is a vocal advocate helping bring about a new revolution within the healthcare space, breaking away from outdated traditional practices and pushing for a more holistic approach to health, which puts the spotlight on preventative medicine and care, expanded testing procedures and measures, and the true pillars of longevity.

    #E49 How Do We Create An Environment That Boosts Longevity? With Tina Woods

    “So that's a sick care model… built around treating you when you're sick. And all the institutions and interests around that are propped up actually by chronic diseases. That's the problem. It's the whole incentive structures that are misaligned. And they're perversely against you,” said Tina Woods, the Founder and CEO of Collider Health, and the Co-Founder and CEO of Longevity International.  She is a renowned advocate for improving health parity and longevity who brings diverse stakeholders together in shared endeavors to improve and level up health, working at the cross-section of science, technology, investment, and policy/government. Join us as we explore the many facets of today’s health landscape, from the aforementioned sick care system, to the world’s many blue zones, the youth mental health crisis that has implications on our future, the impact of economic parity on health equity, and more.  FOLLOW ► Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/2s69743z   LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/nshyt9jj   TikTok: https://tinyurl.com/8aapbw9p Website: https://briarprestidgeofficial.com

    #E47 Will AI Bring About The End Of Humanity? With Theo Priestley & Beth Singler

    “We're not going to get a Skynet. I think the James Cameron-sort of future of one all-seeing, all-knowing and essentially the existential threat that the government seems to want to paint a picture of, it's not going to happen.” On this special EMERGENCY episode of HYPERSCALE, I am joined by Professor Beth Singler and Futurist and Author Theo Priestley, who have joined me to discuss the government-commissioned report recently published in Time magazine, warning that AI poses an extinction-level threat to humanity. The three authors of the report worked on it for more than a year, speaking with more than 200 government employees, experts, and workers at frontier AI companies—like OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic and Meta— as part of their research.  Are these fears justified? We need to educate people about the true potential, and threat, of AI, which can be hard to do given how most of humanity is busy surviving one day at a time, often giving up their privacy and autonomy for the sake of convenience. Join us for an introspective conversation where we explore the timeliness of this report, what it means, why it shouldn’t necessarily be taken at face value, the actual risks posed by AI, the importance of holding AI developers accountable, and more on this episode of HYPERSCALE.
