Welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. The weekly podcast where Dr. G gives you the tools you need to boost your health and live your healthiest life.

So, welcome to the Dr. Gundry Podcast. You know, we've all dreamed about living longer, healthier lives,

being there for our children, our grandchildren, and if we're lucky, our great-grandchildren.

So, today's guest has spent literally decades studying exactly what it'll take to extend the average human lifespan to a well-beyond 100.

And while we haven't exactly cracked the code yet, he seems to be getting closer every single year.

I'm talking about my guest, Dr. David Sinclair, who has been a friend of mine for several years now.

He's a professor of genetics at Harvard and one of the world's foremost experts on the science of longevity.

And he's just written a brand new book called Life Span. Why we age and why we don't have to.

And today, we're going to discuss whether aging is a disease, share our tips for living a longer, healthier life,

and talk about the future of anti-aging medicine.

David, it's so great to see you and welcome to the podcast.

Steve, it's great to see you too. Thanks for having me on.

Thanks.
