Grey Zone Longevity

Jon Brudvig and Grant Fraser

Are you fully healthy, or are your cells in the Grey Zone between health and disease? GZL explores the latest longevity science to uncover what we can do now to detect risk earlier, restore resilience, and move aging cells back towards optimal health. Hosted by pharma scientist Jon Brudvig, PhD, and longevity physician Grant Fraser, MD, the show features conversations with scientists, physicians, biotech founders, and leaders in prevention and aging biology. GZL examines the interventions, biomarkers, drugs, lifestyle strategies, and emerging ideas that help us extend healthspan and change how we think about healthy aging.

    Immune Aging with Natalia Mitin, PhD

    Can You Measure Immune Aging? Natalia Mitin on Immune Resilience, Senescence, and Personalized LongevityIn this episode, Jon Brudvig and Dr. Grant Fraser sit down with Dr. Natalia Mitin, co-founder and CEO of Sapere Bio, to explore one of longevity medicine’s biggest blind spots: how do we measure immune function and immune aging in an individual—and use that information to make better decisions? From immune resilience, T-cell exhaustion, and cellular senescence to thymic regeneration, fisetin, rapamycin, GLP-1 drugs, exercise, and gut health, this conversation examines what it will take to move beyond population averages and toward truly personalized longevity medicine. In this episodeWhy immune health is better understood as balanced or unbalanced—not simply strong or weakHow immune resilience may relate to infection, chronic disease, healthspan, and longevityWhat happens to the thymus and T cells as we ageThe promise and unanswered questions surrounding TRIIM and thymic regenerationHow SapereX measures immune resilience and cellular senescenceWhat the evidence says about fisetin, rapamycin, GLP-1 drugs, exercise, and other interventionsWhy measuring first may be wiser than blindly expanding a longevity stackAbout Dr. Natalia MitinNatalia Mitin, PhD, is the co-founder and CEO of Sapere Bio. Her work focuses on cellular senescence, immune aging, and biomarkers designed to evaluate immune resilience and monitor how it changes over time.
