It's an age old dream of humanity to find the fountain of youth, to stop aging, to stop disease. And we may very well be on our way to making this dream a reality. We're currently witnessing the Dawn of a new age of technologies that will change our lives forever, and that will drastically extend human lifespan and health span with gene therapy.
My guest today is Liz Parrish, the founder and CEO of BioViva Science, the biotechnology company researching treatments to slow the aging process in humans. BioViva is committed to extending healthy lifespans using gene therapy.
Liz is known as the woman who wants to genetically engineer you. She's a humanitarian, entrepreneur, author, innovator, and a leading voice for genetic cures.
