Description

We have long assumed aging is inevitable, but is it? Professor David Sinclair, founder of the Sinclair Lab at Harvard’s Medical School and author of the bestselling “Lifespan: Why We Age — and Why We Don’t Have To,” joins Azeem Azhar to discuss emerging research that promises to radically slow down aging.

Their conversation covers:

• What the Information Theory of Aging is and how it shifts the paradigm on biomarkers of aging.
• Why periodically stressing your body can promote health and longevity.
• Which supplements might arrest the three biochemical pathways implicated in aging.
