0:00.0	This isn't your average business podcast, and he's not your average host. This is the James Altager show on the Choose Yourself Network. Today on the James Altager show. But what's great about the world we live in is we're actually living in the future, right? If I told you 20 years ago that your doctor could give you a drug that might slow your aging,
0:25.6	you'd say, yeah, right? But it's here right now.
0:27.6	Well, so I'm going to ask a couple of dumb questions.
0:30.6	First off, do you have like billionaires calling you every day and saying,
0:33.6	look, I'm 80 years old, I finally made my billion, but I want to enjoy it.
0:39.0	I'm about to die, and I just made the billion. Just start injecting me today.
0:44.6	Not as many as you might think. But there's only so many billionaires, I would say, like, 10 a year.
0:50.0	No. No, nothing like that. What I think is going on is that most people don't believe it.
0:56.3	It sounds too good to be true.
0:58.2	And I'm hoping with the book and with the papers we've published in my field,

1:11.9	you explain all these technologies you really identify the several factors involved in aging and how
1:16.9	each one could be potentially corrected but i think what was exciting for me was that it doesn't
1:22.9	matter that i'm not a baby that i'm know, over 50 and could potentially start thinking about
1:28.8	these things as long as I stay healthy now so that I'm alive as the technology's developed.
1:33.7	Right. I didn't realize you're over 50. Yeah. Well, I have a good biological age, perhaps.
1:38.5	Fantastic. We'll have to measure you. Yeah.
1:47.6	I am so happy to have David Sinclair, author of the book, Lifespan, The Revolutionary Science
1:54.3	of Why We Age and Why We Don't Have to. Again, the book's Lifespan. David, welcome to the show.
1:59.2	Thanks, James. So I'll just, by way of intro, you work at Harvard Medical School, you've worked all over the place,
