Was it comforting to know? To be able to prepare and try to counter it? It's just the way I am, my family, there's a sense of humor. It was confronting initially, but very quickly it became a self deprecating sort of joke, if you will. Your brothers too? I assume everybody you’re closely related to has to be like, “Is this something I have too?” You said your parents and you had questions. For me, the positive of it was like, “Right, if I didn't know this information, I wouldn't have made the changes I made.” I just wasn't aware of any of it, so now I feel thankful that I have in my arsenal the sort of tools to best prepare myself and prevent things happening in that way. That's where I worked with the death doula and people who worked in palliative care and end of life care and then spoke to a number of people who were at the end of their days or coming upon them-even younger people that were diagnosed with cancer and didn't have long to live. The final episode of the series is not about extending life, but facing death. Then to all of a sudden be told some big indicators are actually pointing to this as the route which is going to happen, the reality of it sinks in. We all have this belief that we'll figure it out.

The show, which initially was an exploration of longevity and, of course, should be fun, became even more relevant and important for me, even more poignant than I ever thought it would be. This isn’t what you expected when you started? I was like, “Am I supposed to be worried? Is this concerning?” I wish I'd had a more intense follow-up with it because I didn't really know what to think. I had a bunch of questions, but no one answered them. ![]() They were like, “What was that about?” And I told them, and then they had a bunch of questions. I hung up the phone and my parents were there, at the time. It was a pretty brief conversation, all things considered. We need to have an off-side conversation and see if he even wants this to be in the show.” It was pretty shocking because he called me up and he told me. And Peter Attia, who is the longevity doctor in that episode, and overseeing a lot of the show, called Darren and said, “I don't want to tell him this on camera.
