Summary

For decades, the scientific community has viewed aging as inevitable — so why bother studying it? But what if aging were more like a disease? What if you could even cure it?

In this 1-hour master class, Dr. Mark Hyman shares the latest research on what lifestyle strategies can slow or even reverse the biomarkers of aging. He also shares the science behind the idea that if you live well, you can die young … after a very, very long time.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast, where each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us live healthy, connected, and purpose-filled lives.
0:15.5	I'm your host, Jeff Krasno.
0:17.9	Today's episode features the first hour of Dr. Mark Hyman's new commune course,
0:23.5	the emerging science of longevity. Now, according to Dr. Hyman, there is no biological reason
0:30.6	that we have to age the way we do. Rather, most of what we see in the American population is
0:37.3	actually abnormal aging.
0:40.0	Now, what's more, genes are not the biggest driver of your health.
0:45.5	Instead, it's your lifestyle combined with the foods that you eat.
0:49.8	Now, you have an incredible amount of agency over which genes are expressed, whether you turn on the
0:56.3	ones for health and longevity or the genes for disease and decrepitude. The good news is
1:03.4	it's never too late to reboot your biology. Now, I hope you come away from this segment with a better understanding of two
1:12.6	key concepts. The first is health span versus lifespan. A lifespan is simply how long you live in
1:22.4	chronological years. Health span is how long you enjoy good health. Now, lifespan is irrelevant if the last
1:31.5	decade of your life is a miserable downward spiral characterized by all sorts of chronic diseases.
1:40.6	Now, a related concept is compression of morbidity, which, as Dr. Hyman puts it, is the idea that if you live well, you can basically die young as late as possible.
1:54.1	Now, if you want to go deeper on this topic, you can learn more in Dr. Hyman's full-length commune course, the emerging science of

2:13.3	commune membership to unlock access to this exciting new course.
2:18.7	Now here's Dr. Hyman as he walks you through not only the root causes of aging,
2:23.8	but how you can optimize your body for long-term well-being. So, you know, we've been on a quest for longevity for thousands of years, right?
2:50.0	All the alchemists of the Middle Ages were trying to find out how to actually
2:54.6	stead life and use different molecules and chemicals to create the fountain of youth.
