David Sinclair: Can Aging Be Reversed? After 8 Weeks, Cells Appeared 75% Younger In Tests!

This is very, oh, [beep]

It's bad, right?

It's hard, yeah.

That's what it's like to be old. And for far too long, we've ignored it or accepted it as natural, and I reject the idea that aging, just because it's natural, is acceptable. Dying at 80 is not inevitable. Absolutely, that can be changed. So if you're skeptical, I am a Harvard professor who has been studying aging, longevity, and age reversal for 30 years, and I've seen enough from my lab showing that we can literally now reverse the aging process. And it's, it's not a question of if, it's a question of when this is gonna happen. And everyone should stick around because I'm gonna tell you some of the major things that people should be doing. They can lengthen their life by a decade. Hey, you're not taking that off, Steven.

Oh, yeah.

You got 10 minutes for that.

Sorry.

So you can accelerate aging by smoking, getting an X-ray, ultra-processed foods, excessive drinking, flying a lot.

I fly all the time.

That's probably accelerating your aging process. [keyboard clacking] [bell dings] Even going to a rock concert and blasting your eardrums because your ear hair cells are getting older faster. And so I look at the body like it's a computer, and we can reinstall the software. And what's interesting is, when you reverse aging, diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease go away or are cured because what's driving a lot of those diseases is aging. And so my lab is like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. They are making discoveries that blow me away every week. And I think we're at a turning point in human history where you're probably gonna live into the 22nd century if you do all the right things.

And we're gonna dig into all of those in great detail. But what are the unintended consequences of such a world where we all live longer? And also, do you think it's gonna be possible in the next 50 years for us to live forever? And then what's the best, uh, treatment you've discovered for hair loss?

This is why I love your podcast, Steven. You ask the right questions. So first-

This is super interesting to me. My team give me this report to show me how many of you that watch this show subscribe, and some of you have told us, according to this, that you are unsubscribed from the channel randomly.

I've stayed true to that promise since the very beginning of The Diary of a CEO, and I will not let you down. Please help us. Really appreciate it. Let's get on with the show. [upbeat music] Dr. David Sinclair, I have waited many years to speak to you, and I've been so keen to speak to you for so many years because so much of the research and the information I've consumed on the subjects we're gonna talk about today comes from you, directly from research you've done and from theories and ideas and hypotheses that you formed. I think the place that this conversation should start is, is probably with this picture because it appears to be incredibly formative in your journey.
