Episode notes

Longevity is all about pulsing it, doing adversity, and then occasionally having the abundance as well. A carnivorous diet isn't a longevity producing diet in the long run. Plants have less available amino acids but they also have ratio of menicids that turns on some of these ar defences I'm talking about. And so perhaps i would suggest trying, on days that you work out, assuming a nod of professional athlete, having some extra protein. Eat a little bit of fish, for example. But mostly for that adversity state, you want to be focused on plants.

Biologist and genetics expert Dr. David Sinclair is out to prove he can live past 100 years old, and he thinks you can too. On this episode Sinclair goes in-depth on the process of aging and the techniques you can incorporate into your life that help you live a longer, healthier life, including optimizing your diet, the benefits of exercise, the role of a positive attitude, the importance of sleep, the three supplements he takes every day, why it’s never too late to slow the process of aging, and so much more. Dr. Sinclair is a professor of genetics and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School, and he is best known for his research on aging, with a focus on epigenetics. He’s been called one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time, and in 2019 he released the New York Times bestselling book, Lifespan: Why We Age – and Why We Don't Have To. --
