Episode notes

The aging process is not solely determined by genetics but by which genes are activated or deactivated, known as the epigenome. As individuals age, the control of gene expression through the epigenome becomes less precise. Recent research and funding have focused on epigenetic reprogramming, aiming to reverse aging by activating the right genes as they were in youth. This concept, once considered heresy, has now become a leading topic of research with the potential to slow, stop, and potentially reverse aging. The current era is witnessing a health span revolution driven by substantial capital investments in longevity research, surpassing $5 billion in 2022. The convergence of artificial intelligence and quantum technologies is also contributing to the understanding of human biology at a molecular level. Furthermore, the biotech revolution has significantly reduced the cost and time needed for genome sequencing, paving the way for advanced research in aging and longevity.

Between solving climate change with Elon Musk to sending rockets to space with Sir Richard Branson, XPRIZE is the world’s leading organization that funds scientific breakthroughs that uplift humanity.

Now, they’re bringing together the brightest minds with a singular focus to (yet again) change the world.

They’re keeping the prize a secret but announcing it on November 29th. Click here to sign up for the launch of the $101M XPRIZE – the largest in history.

In this episode, Peter discusses the potential for significantly extending human lifespan. If Greenland sharks can live for hundreds of years, and the bowhead whale is known to live up to 200 years, then why can't we?
