Episode notes

There are some companies that have just started up that measure this from a blood sample. My student has developed a technology where we can measure this clock very cheaply, for at least ten times less than that. That would be a cheek swab, which is far easier than a blood test of course. There's a web site if people want to sign up. Well, give you your credit score for your body. And then the goal is to use science to slow down and reverse the ticking of everybody's individual clock so that you're getting 14, 15 years extra life.

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. --
