INSIGHT

Looking Young = Being Young?

People who look older generally have older internal biochemistry.
AI can interpret age visually, correlating with internal biological age measurements like DNA methylation clocks.

ADVICE

Embrace Hormesis

Embrace hormesis, a state of non-complacency for your body.
Trick your body into feeling like it could die next week through lifestyle choices like diet and exercise.

ADVICE

Time-Restricted Feeding

Practice time-restricted feeding, consuming meals within a few hours daily.
David Sinclair aims for one large meal a day, improving his blood biochemistry and weight.

Most of us want to live as long as possible.

It’s a SURVIVAL INSTINCT that’s hard-wired into our DNA.

BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO LIVE A LONG LIFE.

OUR QUALITY OF LIFE MATTERS, TOO.

Unlocking the secrets to a long, healthy life has CHALLENGED MANKIND since the dawn of medical science. Those of you who know me, also know I’ve been fascinated by this subject for quite a while, too.

That’s why it’s a great privilege to welcome back this week’s guest, DR. DAVID SINCLAIR.

He is a LEADING SCHOLAR and Professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL where he has been teaching aging biology and translational medicine for aging for the past 16 years.

More than that, he is also a foremost researcher best known for his work on UNDERSTANDING WHY WE AGE and HOW TO SLOW ITS EFFECTS.

Contemporary BLEEDING EDGE RESEARCH and scientific advancements have propelled us forward and not only UNLOCKED SECRETS TO LONGEVITY but have also created new questions and curiosities that continue to excite our BEST AND BRIGHTEST MINDS. And few people on planet earth are as well versed or as educated on this subject as Dr. Sinclair.

He lives in a world filled with deep examinations of hormesis, sirtuins, energy metabolism, biosynthesis, mTOR levels, reprogramming genes, mitochondria, learning and memory, time-restricted feeding and caloric restrictions, neurodegeneration, and cancer.

While many of you may AWESTRUCK by this area of science, you should also be EXCITED by Dr. Sinclair’s research, because one day it will have a DIRECT IMPACT on you.

This week, we’re going to translate what that research means to you in practical terms…and it’s coming sooner than you think!

Dr. Sinclair covers a wide range of topics from red light therapy, to the effects of glucose on our bodies, hormone replacement, and the importance of being physically active, fasting, and not eating meat.

We also touch on ALTERING DNA which holds the possibility of significantly extending life, and CURING HORRIFIC DISEASES like cancer, MS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinsons, and many others.

Our discussion isn’t just about theories and research though.

Dr. Sinclair has also got some HANDS-ON TIPS on what you can do to start to start feeling and looking younger right now.

So, sit back, relax, and LEARN.

CLASS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN, and I guarantee, you won’t want to miss it.
