Peter is the author of Outlive, one of the best longevity books out there. His podcast, The Drive, is definitely science driven and detailed. Background study may be needed for non-scientists. A great place to learn!
Dr. Gupta is the author of Keeping Sharp: Build a Better Brain at Any Age. Like the book, his podcast is not restricted to the aging lifestyle. However, both feature general health and fitness advice appropriate for any stage of life. I trust Dr. Gupta to follow science and not merely belief and opinion.

I plan to catch some more of their 300+ podcasts!
