“Age Reversal Is Coming.” Everything You Need To Know - Dr David Sinclair - #1141
About this episode
Dr David Sinclair is a geneticist, professor at Harvard Medical School, and author. Can human aging actually be reversed? What happens if we treat aging as a disease rather than an inevitability? And how close are scientists to turning age-reversal experiments into medicines that could radically extend our lives? Expect to learn how scientists can reset the age of cells without causing cancer, whether resveratrol and NAD supplements actually work, why three meals a day plus snacks might be marketing, the best exercise protocol for longevity, whether GLP-1s are legitimate longevity drugs, and much more...
