Lifespan

Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To

Book • 2019

Author

David Sinclair

In this book, Dr. David Sinclair presents a bold new theory on why we age, arguing that aging is a disease that can be treated.

He discusses recent breakthroughs from his own lab at Harvard, including the activation of newly discovered vitality genes and the role of epigenetics and metabolism in aging.

The book explores lifestyle changes such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, and exercise, as well as emerging anti-aging therapies, to help people live younger and healthier for longer.

Sinclair also delves into the philosophical and ethical implications of extending human lifespan, emphasizing that these methods are not against nature but rather a continuation of human efforts to improve health and longevity.
