Summary

The human brain is notorious for writing narratives and then assuming them as fact. If you’ve ever tried to make a change in your life, chances are you’ve experienced this. Thoughts like, “I’m not a runner,” or “I’m not disciplined enough to eat healthy” are powerful and downright convincing. Your brain loves a good story, even if it’s one that doesn’t serve your best interests. These limiting beliefs constrain our growth, but they are undeniably powerful and difficult to break free from. When it comes to aging, what kinds of stories are we telling ourselves? What if instead of considering aging an inevitability, we think of it as a preventable disease? Scientists around the world are studying the molecular causes of aging, human longevity, and how to reverse aging. Dr. David Sinclair is one of the world’s leading experts in this field, and his new book Lifespan: Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To, is a game-changing, paradigm-shifting guide to living a longer, healthier, and more vibrant lifespan. This episode is a conversation on human longevity, lifespan, and anti-aging. Dr. Sinclair is going to arm you with all of the ground-breaking science, as well as practical takeaways you can apply to your daily life. His work will encourage you to question everything you believe about aging and inspire you to think differently about your own health and longevity. Enjoy! In this episode you’ll discover: What xenohormesis is. How Dr. Sinclair got interested in human biology. Why we accept aging as inevitable. What the Information Theory of Aging is. The meaning of epigenome. What percentage of our longevity is genetic. How longevity genes are activated by lifestyle habits. Why aging is like playing the piano. The benefits of eating less frequently. What mTOR is, and how it can predict longevity. How resveratrol works, and how to get the maximum benefits. The health benefits of red wine and chocolate. What Metformin is, and when it is appropriate to consume. The link between calorie restriction and mood. How having drive and purpose can make life easier.
