Summary

David Sinclair, Ph.D.: "I believe the COVID-19 spread will be reduced by increased temperature humidity. I thought those little droplets you sneeze out will evaporate and go away, but that’s not the main reason why Summer is less conducive to a viral spread." Sinclair, a Harvard geneticist and longevity expert, joins mbg co-CEO, Jason Wachob, to discuss the best nutrients and practices for immunity and to support longevity genes, plus: *The real reason the coronavirus spread might slow in the summer* *How increasing NAD levels can alleviate symptoms and increase survival* *How saunas can have the same effect as intermittent fasting* *The vitamin you need to restore a loss of smell* *Why vitamin D is essential for aging and immunity* Whether it's an article or podcast, we want to know what we can do to help here at mindbodygreen.
