Incredible tour synthesis. The comparison to emergency medicine in the 1970s is spot-on, especially the operational inflection point where the constraint shifts from innovation to workforce. The 50k physician gap by 2030 versus 2k today really underscores why certification and shared infastructure matter more than research breakthroughs at this stage. Payment processor hostility is also a signal that systemic legitimacy lags far behind clinical readiness.
Fantastic synthesis of where the field is right now. The 50,000 physician gap by 2030 really contextualizes why theworkforce issue feels so urgent compared to just funding or research. What's intresting is that conservative specialists entering now are probably accelerating legitimacy faster than any amount of venture capital could. The shift from "should we" to "how do we" is pretty telling too.
What I appreciate here is the implicit reminder that longevity is less about “hacks” and more about exposure patterns over decades; metabolic load, light timing, physical activity density, and chronic stress buffering via relationships/purpose. Those are the upstream levers that show up downstream as lower cardiometabolic risk and preserved function. Fantastic synthesis!
