Longevity by Design

Did you know that there are species of whales that can live to be over 200 years old? Or that naked mole rats can live up to ten times longer than other mice? These facts and more led scientist Dr. Vera Gorbunova to investigate the mechanisms behind long-lived species and how these can be applied to what we know about aging in humans. In the latest episode of Longevity by Design, our co-hosts, Dr. Gil Blander and Ashley Reaver, are joined by Dr. Vera Gorbunova, Professor of Biology at the University of Rochester and co-director of the Rochester Aging Research Center. Tune in as Dr. Vera Gorbunova discusses commonalities between long-lived animals and how humans can apply these principles into their lives today. To learn more about science-backed ways to live a healthier, longer life, download InsideTracker's InnerAge eBook at insidetracker.com/podcast

We can’t rely on the magical elixir of life to stay forever young and healthy, but we can change certain lifestyle habits associated with premature aging. In the latest episode of Longevity by Design, our co-hosts, Dr. Gil Blander and Ashley Reaver, are joined by Dr. Brian Kennedy, Professor of Biochemistry and Physiology at the National University of Singapore, to discuss his approach to longevity and aging. Longevity is a complex matter, but Dr. Brian Kennedy explains its most vital details. Tune in to this episode to learn more about how food choices, supplements, exercise, and other lifestyle habits that we can control encourage longevity and prevent associated diseases. To learn more and download InsideTracker's InnerAge eBook, visit: insidetracker.com/podcast

Should the elderly engage in physical activity? How do nutrient needs change throughout the lifespan? Researchers and scientists worldwide strive to get revolutionary answers to top aging questions. Our guest is one of them. In this episode of the Longevity by Design podcast, our co-hosts, Dr. Gil Blander and Ashley Reaver, are joined by Dr. William Evans, adjunct professor of Human Nutrition at the University of California, Berkeley. Dr. Evans was the first to describe sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Additionally, Dr. William Evans’ research sheds light on the connection between sarcopenia and lower levels of biomarkers like testosterone, estrogen, growth hormone production, and increased insulin resistance.Tune in to this episode, as Dr. William Evans discusses his research on exercise in older adults, how protein requirements change during the lifespan, and how this contributes to aging as a whole. To learn more and download InsideTracker's InnerAge eBook, visit: insidetracker.com/podcast

The Founding Director of Yale University's Yale-Griffin prevention research center, Dr. David Katz, joins our hosts, Dr. Gil Blender and Ashley Reaver, to discuss the importance of a healthy lifestyle in increasing longevity.We need to prioritize prevention in healthcare. A more preventative approach to health could help postpone and even prevent severe conditions from developing. There are many benefits of adopting better lifestyle habits. According to Dr. Katz, lifestyle is the key to vitality and longevity. Poor diet choices lead to weight gain and chronic disease development such as diabetes and obesity. It's essential to eat real, not processed food and drink water regularly.Being healthy is not just about consuming vegetables and avoiding processed foods. It's a lifestyle. Our podcast guest says that lifestyle is a medicine that prevents chronic diseases from developing. You are what you eat, what you do, and what you drink. Dr. David Katz is the Founding Director of Yale University's Yale-Griffin prevention research center, a CDC-funded clinical research lab he ran for 21 years. He's also the Founder and currently the Chief Executive Officer of Diet ID, an API intended to disrupt current processes for dietary intake, goal setting, and nutritional coaching. He's joined the advisory board of InsideTracker to help people optimize their bodies using science and technology.In this episode of the Longevity by Design podcast, Dr. Katz discusses the endless benefits of healthy living. If you want to hear why diet quality is critical and what we can do to promote better eating habits, tune in to the latest episode of the podcast to find out more.To learn more and download InsideTracker's InnerAge eBook, visit: https://info.insidetracker.com/podcast

How and why do we age? Is aging reversible? These are some of the most critical questions in biology. Fortunately for us, researchers and scientists across the world strive to get some revolutionary answers. Our guest is one of them.Danica Chen is a Professor of Metabolic Biology, Nutritional Sciences & Toxicology at the University of California at Berkeley. Even though she originally intended to study international accounting, life had other plans, so she switched her major and went in another direction. Now, she's a member of Berkeley Stem Cell Center and a member of QB3 Consortium in Lifespan Extension, conducting research studies that aim to understand aging-associated conditions.Danica says the future of aging research is bright. "Using the knowledge we have learned from aging research and applying it to improve human health is what the aging field is trying to accomplish." In this episode of the Longevity by Design podcast, our hosts and Danica discuss the challenges in aging research, STEM cells' role in aging, and why the elderly are more prone to COVID.
