Longevity Is an Operating System, Not a Pill | Richard Skaife

In this episode of the Superhuman Podcast, I sit down with Richard Skaife, a longevity investor working at the intersection of biotech, mental health, and frontier technology.

We talk about why longevity isn't a supplement or a shortcut - it's an operating system. We break down healthspan vs lifespan, why so many high performers burn out quietly, and how simple metrics like HRV reveal what your lifestyle is actually doing to your body.

This conversation is for entrepreneurs, investors, and high performers who want sustainable energy and long-term performance without sacrificing their health.

Topics we cover:

• Healthspan vs lifespan

• Longevity as a system, not a pill

• Burnout and recovery in high performers

• HRV, VO₂ max, and practical tracking

• The future of longevity and human optimization
