In this episode of the Bitcoin Sports Network Podcast, Chris sits down with Dr. Gregory Charlop—triple board certified physician with education from Stanford and UCLA, longevity expert, and the nation's first fractional Chief Wellness Officer. Dr. Charlop works with family offices, ultra-high net worth individuals, and executives to help them maximize not just their lifespan, but their healthspan.
