David Sinclair, a Harvard professor and leading expert in aging, discusses revolutionary insights on reversing aging through epigenetics. He argues that aging is a loss of information rather than just physical damage. Sinclair highlights exciting advances such as brain rejuvenation, where lost memories may be regained, and the role diet plays in longevity. He emphasizes the potential of gene therapies and breakthroughs in age reversal research, underlining the promise of technologies that could make youthfulness accessible to all.
Aging is not just damage to the body, but a loss of information that can be reversed through epigenetic changes.
Brain rejuvenation may become a reality, allowing for the recovery of lost memories and the ability to learn again.
Deep dives
The Information Theory of Aging
Aging is not simply damage to the body, but a loss of information inherited from parents. This loss of information can be reversed, and there is a backup copy of information in every cell.
The Possibility of Rejuvenating the Brain
The speaker believes that there will be a day when brain rejuvenation is possible, allowing people to regain memories and their ability to learn again.
The Potential to Live Beyond 120
The speaker argues that there is no upper limit to human aging, citing examples of other species and advancements in extending lifespan. The ability to reverse age is already present, and there are current efforts to conduct age reversal clinical trials in humans.
The Role of NAD and NMN in Age Reversal
NAD and NMN molecules have shown promise in reversing aging. Clinical trials have demonstrated health improvements in humans, such as cholesterol reduction and increased endurance. These molecules have the potential to be used as rejuvenation therapeutics and may be accessible and affordable in the future.
In this episode, filmed during Abundance360, Peter and David discuss David’s groundbreaking research on reversing aging through epigenetic changes, emphasizing that aging is not just damage to the body but a loss of information. They talk about age reversal as a possibility,rejuvenating brains and regaining lost memories.
