Working on a story about the longevity industry?
Dr. Loree Pinnavaia and Ben Dubin are available for interviews, podcast appearances, and speaking engagements — together or individually. One knows how longevity companies get built and funded. The other knows what happens when their products meet real patients.
Story angles
What Ben & Loree can speak to.
The industry that profits from complexity
The longevity economy has never been bigger — while the practices with the strongest evidence remain simple and largely free. How the incentives work, from someone who has funded the space.
Health is a right, not a luxury product
Longevity marketing targets the wealthy, but the trap reaches everyone — and the industry structurally excludes lower-income communities. Why the five fundamentals belong to everybody, regardless of income or zip code.
The psychology of optimization
When the pursuit of health becomes its own sickness: tracking anxiety, protocol perfectionism, and the relationships and joy that quietly erode along the way.
What the research actually shows
A clinician’s view of the evidence behind popular interventions — where claims outrun the data, and where simple practices rival expensive ones.
The five fundamentals
Sleep, movement, real food, connection, and purpose — what the longest-lived populations actually do, and the permission to let the rest go.
Insider × clinician
A rare pairing for interviews: the venture capitalist who helped fund the industry and the functional medicine practitioner who treats its customers — often disagreeing, always with evidence.
For journalists
Boilerplate & fast facts.
The Longevity Trap: Why the Obsessive Pursuit of Health Is Making Us Sick — and How to Actually Live Well by Dr. Loree Pinnavaia and Ben Dubin argues that longevity used to be something you did and is now something you buy — and that a long, healthy life is a right, not a luxury product, one that shouldn’t depend on income or zip code. It publishes January 19, 2027 from Prometheus Books, distributed by Simon & Schuster.
