Aubrey de Grey is a biogerontologist and co-founder of the LEV Foundation. Public reporting about him usually focuses on damage-repair approaches to aging and less often on a minute-by-minute self-published routine. The strongest personal-routine source was a daily-routine interview in the Evening Standard dated 19.11.2024. A longer interview in the FightAging blog from 12.07.2023 and publicly accessible Q&A statements on beer, exercise, and stress were also used — only where de Grey speaks himself or is directly quoted.
