David Sinclair: Reversing the Aging Process

Uh, the reason I'm talking to you today is to wake people up and realize there is no law that says we have to age. Now, if you force me to give you a number, I'd I'd love to live beyond a hundred. I wouldn't say no to 120 and I wouldn't say no to a hundred and fifty. Right now there's a limit because that's what we've seen happens, but the people that live Over a hundred typically don't take care of themselves. Uh a lot of them smoke and and some of them smoke and drink and don't eat good food.

So what happens when you have great genes, which is twenty percent? Plus people who do the optimal lifestyle and take the optimal supplements and take the optimal drugs. There's no reason why a hundred and twenty needs to be the maximum human lifespan. There is nothing

in biology that says that there is a limit. Welcome to the Knowledge Project Podcast. I'm your host, Shane Parrish.
