Aging, Identity and the Freedom to Change | Dana Larocca
Episode 326
Thursday, 22 October, 2026
Dana Larocca spent decades asking whether biology could be changed, while keeping a fundamental truth about herself hidden. Growing up as a boy, she longed for a girl’s body. In the laboratory, she explored how cells could be reprogrammed. In her own life, she faced the question of when she could finally live openly as the woman she knew herself to be.A molecular biologist and biogerontologist, Dana’s work includes a study in which researchers reprogrammed cells from a woman who lived to 114. That research could help scientists understand exceptional longevity and develop treatments for age-related disease.Dana transitioned later in life, after years of building a scientific career and raising a family. In her book, Reprogramming Life: Beyond the Limits of Aging, Gender, and Identity, she brings those personal and professional experiences together.In this conversation with Peter Bowes, she explores cellular reprogramming, biological freedom and the possibilities and limits of longevity science. She also reflects on what makes a longer life worthwhile: living authentically, enjoying simple pleasures and having more time with the people we love.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showThe Live Long podcast, a HealthSpan Media LLC production, shares ideas but does not offer medical advice.
