    Can You Actually Reverse Aging? A Longevity Doctor Explains

    In this episode of Leadr. Podcast, Steph Pliha sits down with Dr. Alexander Grinberg, physician, longevity specialist, and founder of Infinity Epigenetics, for a fascinating conversation about the future of human health, aging, and regenerative medicine. With more than three decades of experience in longevity medicine, Dr. Grinberg explains why living longer isn't simply about adding years to life, it's about improving healthspan, resilience, and performance through a personalized approach rooted in science. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving world of peptides, GLP-1 therapies, mitochondrial health, fasting, biohacking, genetics, and precision medicine while discussing both the opportunities and limitations of today's longevity movement. Dr. Grinberg also shares why sound judgment, careful experimentation, and understanding your own biology are more important than chasing the latest health trend. The conversation covers practical strategies for building a stronger foundation for long-term health, the role of inflammation and lifestyle, emerging regenerative therapies, and how artificial intelligence could soon transform personalized medicine. Whether you're curious about extending your healthspan, interested in biohacking, or simply looking to better understand the science behind healthy aging, this episode offers an evidence-informed perspective on one of medicine's most exciting frontiers.

    Is AI Conscious? Cameron Berg, Documentary film Am I? shares his POV

    Season 2 episode of Leadr. Podcast, guest speaker Cameron Berg, AI researcher and founder of Reciprocal Research, joins the conversation to explore one of the most important and unresolved questions of our time: what is consciousness, and could artificial intelligence already be developing it? We dive into the philosophical and technical frontier of AI development, from mechanistic interpretability to subjective experience, and the growing responsibility of building systems that may no longer be “just tools.” Cameron shares his perspective on why the question of AI consciousness is not science fiction, but an increasingly urgent scientific and societal problem.  At the centre of this conversation is Cameron’s independent documentary “Am I”, created with Milo Reed, which explores whether artificial systems could possess inner experience. The film was self-funded and released freely to encourage public dialogue around AI consciousness, ethics, and uncertainty.  We also explore Cameron’s work at Reciprocal Research, a nonprofit AI research lab focused on understanding internal model states, and reducing uncertainty around whether we are building systems capable of subjective experience.  This episode challenges assumptions about intelligence, responsibility, and what it means to create systems that may one day resemble minds.  Cameron Berg is an AI researcher and founder of Reciprocal Research, a nonprofit lab focused on mechanistic interpretability, computational neuroscience, and understanding whether advanced AI systems could possess subjective experience.  He is also the creator of the independent documentary “Am I”, which explores the possibility of AI consciousness and the philosophical uncertainty surrounding machine intelligence.  Featured Projects & Links  Am I?
