In this episode, Dr. Andrew Huberman is joined by Dr. David Sinclair, a tenured Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and an expert researcher in longevity. Dr. Sinclair is also the author of Lifespan: Why We Age & Why We Don’t Have To and the host of the Lifespan Podcast, which launches on January 5, 2022.
In this interview, They discuss the cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging and what we can do to slow or reverse the aging process. We discuss fasting and supplementation with resveratrol, NAD, metformin, and NMN. We also discuss using caffeine, exercise, cold exposure, and why the excessive iron load is bad for us. We discuss food choices for offsetting aging and promoting autophagy (clearance of dead cells). And we discuss the critical blood markers everyone should monitor to determine their biological versus chronological age. We also discuss the future of longevity research and technology. This episode includes lots of basic science and specific, actionable protocols, right down to the details of what to do and when. By the end, you will have in-depth knowledge of the biology of aging and how to offset it.
