Elias Vance

Geroscience Researcher, San Francisco

Elias Vance has spent the last decade trying to answer one question: what actually predicts how long a healthy human life lasts? He works in geroscience research in San Francisco and runs a personal protocol that he documents obsessively. He is interested in the quantified self not as a lifestyle trend but as a methodology — if you measure the right things consistently, the data tells you what works. Elias is contrarian when the data supports it and cautious when it does not, which is rarer than the longevity space would have you believe.
