#14 Dr. Bjorn Schumacher | DNA Damage & Aging, p53 & Cancer, and DNA repair in Reproductive Cells
My guest today is Dr. Bjorn Schumacher whose work focuses on the central role of DNA damage in the aging process. We discussed DNA damage accumulation with age, how DNA repair mechanisms play a role, how DNA damage in the reproductive cells can tell us a lot about aging, human fertility and reproductive capacity. We also discussed the role of p53 in cancer suppression, a new biological age clock being developed in his lab and how we should protect our skin from aging and thereby control DNA damage.
A lot of us have heard about the link between DNA damage and aging and this conversation really dives into it.

#13 Dr. David Gems | Hyperfunction & Programmatic Theory of Aging and Critique of the Hallmarks of Aging
My guest today is Dr. David Gems who runs the C. Elegans Aging lab at the University College London. We had a fascinating discussion talking about emerging paradigms in the theories of aging. We discussed the hyperfunction theory or the programmatic theory of aging which gives a better integrated understanding of the different theories of aging that have been presented such as damage accumulation, evolutionary, antagonistic pleiotropy. It has been assumed that molecular damage is always the cause of aging, but the programmatic theory of aging shows that that might not be the case. We also discussed his critique of the hallmarks of aging and how there should be a better paradigm for the aging field. Lastly, we also discussed how research from his lab on C. Elegans might explain some of the conflict around whether sirtuins affect lifespan and how C. Elegans also show versions of this programmatic theory of aging, which can give us a better understanding of how to study aging.
Note: There is a point in the conversation (40:41) where David pulls up some slides to better explain the Multifactorial Model of Aging. So if you are listening to the audio version, you might want to refer to YouTube or the show notes.

#12 Dr. Bruce Ames | Longevity Micronutrients, Triage Theory, and Vitamin D for Healthy Aging
My guest today is Dr. Bruce Ames who has received several awards and accolades for developing the Ames test which is used to detect carcinogens in commercial products. He showed how there were carcinogens in products such as hair dyes and children’s pajamas!
Later, Dr. Bruce Ames turned to studying micronutrients and how deficiency of important vitamins and minerals leads to accelerated aging. He came up with the Micronutrient triage theory, which says that when nutrient intake is insufficient, the body has a rationing mechanism and favors proteins needed for immediate survival at the expense of protection against future damage.
Dr. Bruce Ames is 93 years old and says that he is still exercising and eating healthy greens cooked by his lovely Italian wife! However, he says his cognitive capacity has slowed down (this is why we need rejuvenation therapies, even for the brain: listen to my episode with Dr. Jean Hebert who talks about Brain Aging and his strategy to reverse aging through replacement of the body parts: https://youtu.be/oerGUepWsH8).
I am grateful that I had a chance to converse with him on Vitamin D, longevity micronutrients, how micronutrient deficiency can lead to accelerated aging, his take on the science behind reversing aging, and his advice to younger people.
This is a shorter episode and I hope you learn more about the importance of micronutrients!

#10 Dr. Collin Ewald | Collagen Protein & Extracellular Matrix During Aging
My guest today is Dr. Collin Ewald who is a professor at the Health Sciences department at ETH Zurich. His lab focuses on understanding the extracellular matrix (ECM) and how it changes with age. Collin explains the role of the ECM in tissue repair, muscle strength, and overall longevity. In fact, Collin’s lab is also working on establishing the ECM as a biomarker for health and disease risk. So, studying the ECM can indeed tell us a lot about the aging process and ways to intervene.
Think of the ECM as the environment that surrounds the cell or the proteins secreted from the cell. It holds our organs and tissues in place. You’ve probably heard of collagen protein - it is largely found in the ECM.
Why is the ECM relevant for longevity research? Turns out, the ECM changes with age. In fact, each cell has a unique ECM and cancer cells can be detected by their ECM composition type! There is also a connection between the ECM and the muscle, and damage to collagen with age results in weakening of our muscles.
We discuss changes in collagen with age, how sugar impacts collagen, cancer cells & ECM, the overexpression of certain collagens with age, changes in collagen causing muscle impairment with age, and longevity interventions his lab is studying to repair the impairment damage.
(This podcast can be a little technical, especially in the beginning, so I’d recommend referring to the show notes for better understanding. The video version of the podcast also contains some explanations on the video slide itself.)

#09 Dr. Irina & Michael Conboy | Tissue Rejuvenation Via Plasma Dilution, Neutral Blood Exchange and Parabiosis
My guests in today's episode are Dr. Irina and Michael Conboy of the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California Berkeley.
Their groundbreaking research focuses on tissue rejuvenation via plasma dilution and heterochronic parabiosis, where the Conboys took a young mouse and an older mouse and sutured them together, such that the animals shared blood and environment. The old mice became rejuvenated & younger. They’ve also pioneered a process called the Neutral Blood Exchange or Therapeutic Blood Exchange, through which dilution of old blood plasma can lead to true rejuvenation in the brain & other tissues of mice to a younger state!!
Further, we touch upon Irina's work showing how decreased Oxytocin levels with age contributes to poor muscle function. Their research is incredibly exciting and we discuss all about it in today’s episode.

#08 Nir Barziali | Metformin, TAME Trial & Centenarian Longevity Research
Dr. Nir Barzilai is well-known in the field of longevity and beyond and is the director and chair of several institutes focused on Aging research. Just to name a few, he is the director of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) Nathan Shock Centers of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging.
Dr. Barzilai’s research interests are in the biology and genetics of aging, so he has done extensive work studying centenarians and supercentenarians some of which he discusses in today’s episode and also in his book Age Later.
He is currently leading an international effort to approve drugs that can target aging. Targeting Aging with METformin (TAME) is a specific study designed to prove the concept that multi-morbidities of aging can be delayed by metformin, working with the FDA to approve this approach which will serve as a template for future efforts to delay aging and its diseases in humans.
In today's episode, we discuss centenarian longevity genes, what makes centenarians live so long and the role of growth hormones in longevity. We also dive into metformin's healthspan benefits for longevity, metformin & COVID, if metformin blunts muscle mass and causes hypoglycemia, and metformin dosage.

#06 Morgan Levine | Epigenetic Clocks, SystemsAge Clock and Epigenetic Reprogramming
Dr. Morgan Levine is an Assistant Professor of Pathology and Epidemiology at the Yale School of Medicine. Morgan runs the lab for Aging in Living Systems at Yale. Her labs works on Epigenetic Clocks, Epigenetic reprogramming, cellular aging trajectories, and in trying to understand the causes of Alzheimer’s disease.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I learned in today’s conversation!
We extensively discussed Morgan’s work on developing a new Epigenetic clock called the SystemsAge clock, which is very cool and can test the biological age of different organs & systems in your body.
We also spoke of different features of these clocks, interventions tested, what we know so far on reversing your biological age, some of the limitations of the clocks, why she is so excited about epigenetic reprogramming, and some of her work around Alzheimer’s disease.
Most people are interested in knowing their biological age and epigenetic clocks are a way to test it. So I’m sure you will find this conversation on epigenetic clocks fascinating and walk away understanding them much better!
I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Morgan Levine.

#05 Matt Kaeberlein | Aging Interventions - Rapamycin, mTOR, CR, Sirtuins, NAD+ & Dog Aging Project
Dr. Matt Kaeberlein is a Professor of Pathology, Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington. His research interests are focused on basic mechanisms of aging in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life.
Matt has been around the field of aging for a long time and knows more about the work in the aging field than perhaps anyone else. This was a comprehensive conversation where we spoke about how Matt thinks of aging from a functional perspective, caloric restriction and aging, whether NAD+ precursors are effective in slowing aging, the role of sirtuins.
We discuss quite a bit on rapamycin and how it’s shown to be effective in improving the health of mice. Matt is very excited about the potential benefits of Rapamycin in reversing aging and he got me excited too. Matt is also working on the Dog Aging project and in trying to understand aging in dogs.
Finally, we end the conversation by talking a bit on what good scientific practices should look like. Matt approaches his work with an unbiased lens and that’s very respectable. Matt has a brilliant mind! I had such a blast talking to Matt and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!
