LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Today, I’m joined by Alex Kikel—a name that’s become synonymous with pushing the frontiers of biology, performance, and healing. Alex is the kind of person who, when told “there’s nothing more we can do,” responds with, “but what if that’s not true?” In our conversation, he shares the pivotal moments that made him question everything about the standard approach to health, including his personal story of reversing serious conditions when traditional solutions failed.
