Journalist. Author. Longevity activist. Futurist provocateur.

Your sleep score won’t save you. Neither will broccoli. The real threat is aging itself - and it’s time we do something about it.

Most longevity speakers tell you how to optimize your health. Peter Ottsjö tells you why that will never be enough. As a science journalist, author of Evigt Ung, and host of the LEVITY podcast, he explores the frontlines of humanity’s fight against aging — from AI-driven drug discovery and biotechnology to cryopreservation and longevity medicine.

About Peter Ottsjö

Don’t optimize harder. Think bigger.

Peter Ottsjö isn’t here to give you diet tips. He’s here to dismantle your worldview.

As the author of Evigt Ung and co-founder of the LEVITY media platform, he explores one of the most urgent - yet underreported and underfunded - questions in science: Why do we still die of aging, and why aren’t we doing everything we can to stop it?

Because no matter how many supplements you take, or how perfectly you eat and sleep, you're still being hunted by aging - and death will catch up to you.

And yet, despite limited funding, little public attention, and the fact that most people don’t even know this science exists, researchers are beginning to learn how to fight back.

But without public awareness or political will, progress remains slower - and more fragile - than it should be.


Peter’s work focuses on four interconnected ideas:

- Geroscience – targeting the biological processes of aging itself

- Replacement strategies – rebuilding organs, tissues, and eventually bodies

- Biostasis & cryonics – preserving people at death’s door for future revival

- AI in biotech – accelerating discovery far beyond human intuition

Think bigger: A new vision for aging, health, and the future of humanity

Want to know how to optimize your health? Then this probably isn’t the talk for you.


Peter Ottsjö makes a different case: That we’ve become obsessed with marginal gains - step counts, blood glucose, sleep scores - while ignoring the real problem: aging itself.

He dives into the science that comes after nutrition, after exercise, after wellness. The goal isn’t to age gracefully. The goal is to become ageless - where time passes, but your risk of dying stays flat.

You’ll learn what’s being built right now:

- Therapies that reprogram cells and reverse age

- AI tools that are accelerating scientific discovery at unprecedented speed

- Technologies to replace organs, restore function, and reboot the body

- Strategies to pause biological decay at the edge of death


This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening — but not fast enough. Because the real bottleneck isn't science. It’s our failure to imagine what’s possible.


What you’ll leave with:

- A radical shift in perspective: aging is not a natural fact, but a design flaw — one we may soon be able to fix.

- A clear understanding of the science that truly matters for long-term health: geroscience, advanced bioengineering, cell rejuvenation, biostasis, and AI-driven breakthroughs.

- A sense of urgency: this future is closer than people think - but it's being held back by underfunding, cultural fatalism, and small thinking.

- A personal challenge: Stop settling for slightly better health. Start asking: Why do we still die of aging — and what would it take to stop it?

LEVITY — The Real Longevity Media Platform

Peter Ottsjö is the founder of LEVITY, a cross-platform media project exploring the science, technology, and cultural impact of life extension. Through interviews, essays, explainers, and in-depth reporting, LEVITY covers everything from geroscience, biotechnology, AI and philosophical debates around aging and death.

LEVITY includes a bi-weekly podcast, a deep-dive newsletter, and original explainers — all built around one core belief: Aging and death is humanity’s biggest challenge. And it's time we solve it.

LEVITY is a certified member of the Vitalist organization and Peter is a Fellow of the Longevity Biotech Fellowship — an international community of researchers, entrepreneurs, and advocates working to accelerate solutions to aging.

Independent and growing fast, LEVITY has already earned a reputation as one of the most thoughtful and fearless voices in the longevity space.

Book

Evigt ung: min och människans dröm om Odödligheten

A BOOK THAT REFUSES TO ACCEPT DEATH. Since the dawn of time, humans have dreamed of eternal life. We’ve searched the world for miraculous springs, placed our hopes in precious metals, or sought comfort in religion’s promise of paradise.

There may be no magical artifact that grants long life — but our search hasn’t been in vain. Thanks to groundbreaking scientific discoveries, we may have finally found the fountain of youth.

And it’s been there all along, hidden inside us.

Join journalist and longevity expert Peter Ottsjö on an expedition through the history of immortality — from prophets, alchemists, and poets to gene editors, cellular rejuvenation, and cutting-edge technology that promises a future of longer, healthier lives.


Note: Evigt Ung is only available in Swedish

Book Peter Ottsjö as a speaker

Looking for a speaker who challenges how your team thinks about health, aging, and death?

Peter Ottsjö doesn’t offer wellness tips — he offers a new lens on longevity. In his talks, he explains why lifestyle optimization will never be enough — and why we need to treat aging as a technical problem, not a natural fate.

He explores the cutting edge of longevity science, biostasis, next-generation therapies, and how AI is accelerating breakthroughs across biology and medicine.

This isn’t a talk about how to sleep better or eat smarter. It’s about why that will never be enough — and what we should be doing instead.
