Welcome everyone. This is Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health and I am just

absolutely delighted to connect with Dr. David Sinclair, who is a professor of genetics at

Harvard Medical School

and generally recognize as one of the major thought leaders

in the science of how to improve

our lifespan, not only our lifespan, but our health span.

So he started in Sydney, got his PhD there,

and then he went over to Lendie Garranti's lab at MIT,

and then went to, he's got his own lab

at Harvard Medical School in 1999.

He's been working there ever since and really come up with this

down to discoveries which we're going to talk about today.

But one of the primary focuses is his new book, which is called Lifespan the revolutionary science of why

we age and why we don't have to do that and it's going to be available September 10th, and if you're watching this, it's not September 10th, you can pre-order it on Amazon. So welcome and thank you for joining us today.

Thank you. It's great to be things in there and I want to really highlight some of the concepts as you discuss because I think there's so much potential to help us and hit this

really the the king of all diseases which is aging so you talk about

calorie restriction as being the only proven non-pharmacological method of consistently

extending lifespan and protecting against many of the age-related diseases.

And what, so you, and then you also discuss intermittent fasting,

So I'm wondering what type of conclusions you've reached
