Episode notes

There's species on this planet like the bowhead whale that can live to 200 years old. And so if you get some of that shark DNA, I'm shooting for it. Your genome is the same at birth at 20, at 40, at 80, at 100. So why don't you look like you did when you were 20? It isn't what genes you have. To a large part, it's your epigenome. Stephen talks about that in his extraordinary work.

In this episode, Steven and Peter discuss the importance of a positive mindset in order to live longer, the science behind aging, and the effects of different mindsets on healthspan.

You will learn about:

07:36 | Age Is Just A Number It Can't Define Your Limits.
49:27 | Science Fiction Is Slowly Becoming Science Fact.
1:18:39 | A Growth Mindset Vs. A Fixed Mindset.
