Richard Diamond will interview Ziesing on August 20 about global health, longevity, technology and an ambitious effort to uncover what the world can teach us about living longer, healthier lives.
BELLEVUE, WA — August 19, 2026 — Longevity Academy today announced that Hunter Ziesing, Executive Director of Global Health Atlas, will be the featured guest in the next installment of the Longevity Leaders Project, an interview series featuring innovators, researchers, executives and visionaries helping shape the future of health and longevity.
Ziesing will be interviewed on August 20, 2026, by Richard Diamond, President of Longevity Academy.
The conversation will explore Ziesing’s work with Global Health Atlas, an initiative focused on understanding health through a global lens—including the influence of geography, culture, nutrition, environment, community, technology and access to healthcare.
Rather than following a traditional biographical interview format, the conversation will focus on the ideas, technologies and opportunities that could have the greatest impact on human healthspan.
A Global Search for Better Health
A major focus of the interview will be Global Health Atlas and its plans to explore health and healthcare practices across countries and cultures around the world.
Ziesing and Diamond will discuss what can potentially be learned by looking beyond conventional healthcare systems and studying how people actually live—including their diets, activity, environments, communities, traditions and access to care.
The discussion will also examine how advances in artificial intelligence, health data, wearable technology, diagnostics and preventive medicine could help transform enormous amounts of health information into personalized and actionable insights.
“Some of the most important longevity discoveries of the next decade may come not only from laboratories, but from understanding how people live throughout the world,” said Richard Diamond, President of Longevity Academy. “Hunter brings together global exploration, technology, health data and a genuine curiosity about what allows people and communities to thrive. That makes him an ideal guest for the Longevity Leaders Project.”
The Longevity 7
The Hunter Ziesing interview will introduce an evolving Longevity Leaders Project format called “The Longevity 7,” designed to move beyond the conventional podcast interview and uncover the guest’s most important ideas and convictions.
Among the questions Ziesing will tackle:
- What is the longevity industry getting wrong?
- Which emerging development could have the greatest impact on human healthspan?
- What has he personally changed after years of studying health and longevity?
- If given $1 billion to improve human healthspan, where would he invest it?
- What will healthcare and longevity look like in 2035?
- What can different cultures around the world teach us about living healthier lives?
- What is the single most important action someone can take today to improve their probability of a longer, healthier life?
The conversation will conclude with a rapid-fire Longevity Lightning Round, examining topics ranging from strength training and sleep to wearables, biological-age testing, GLP-1 medications, AI healthcare and emerging longevity technologies.
