Longevity by Design

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.

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.
