In addition, Fossel is one of those unique people who are a real pleasure to not only see speaking from the stage but also to meet in person. And having done both of these, I can honestly say that Michael is as much an impassioned expert speaker as he is a compassionate human being. Not only that but he is also a generous host, who loves entertaining guests visiting his fabulous house near Rapid Falls, Michigan and I have to admit I had tons of fun socializing with him both in front and behind camera. So, all in all, it was a lot of fun meeting and interviewing Dr. Fossel for my Singularity 1 on 1 podcast.<\/p>\n<p>During our 1 hour discussion with Michael we cover a variety of interesting topics such as: his dream to reverse aging and the desirability and feasibility thereof; the Hayflick limit of cell division and Aubrey de Grey\u2019s concerns that telomerase therapy may cause cancer; the distinction between reversing aging and living forever; his \u201cnon-sexy\u201d tips on healthy living; his take on cryonics and transhumanism\u2026<\/p>\n<p>My favorite quotes that I will take away from this interview with Michael Fossel are:<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2019\/07\/dr-michael-fossel-compassion-is-the-reason-to-reverse-aging\">Continue reading \u201cDr. Michael Fossel: Compassion is the reason to reverse aging!\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An excellent interview.
