Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses how aging can be reversed in the body, not just the eye but other organs like the liver and skin, using gene therapy. However, gene therapy is costly and does not yet have mainstream availability. The central concept is that the body responds well to perceived adversity, such as exercise and caloric restriction, which can slow aging. This is achieved through activating the sirtuins, which repair DNA damage. Adversity mimetics, like exercise and fasting, can start the sirtuins, while abundance mimetics, like eating a lot and having high mTOR activity, can shorten Lifespan. Lifestyle changes like exercise and diet can be optimized to maximize the benefits of aging well. The video emphasizes that biological age can be measured, and knowing one’s biological age gives one the power to take action to slow down aging.

Summary of Description:
David Sinclair, a professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School, discusses aging and how to slow down the process in a Health Theory podcast. Sinclair emphasizes the importance of lifestyle choices in the aging process and explains that 80% of longevity and health in old age are controllable through the epigenome, which response to how we live. He also discusses the causes of aging as being a loss of information and genes getting turned on when they should be off.

David Sinclair, a professor in the Department of Genetics and co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School, is an expert in aging and reverse aging. As a guest on Health Theory, Sinclair shared his knowledge and discussed his opinions on aging and how it can be changed.
Sinclair reveals that 80% of longevity and health in old age is controllable, and only 20% is dictated by our genes. He explains how epigenetics respond to our lifestyle choices and impact our aging process. Sinclair recommends daily hacks such as fasting and cold exposure to slow down aging and stresses the importance of resetting our age by finding the root cause of aging.
Sinclair’s conversation with Bilyeu on Health Theory is enlightening for those who want to slow down their aging process and reset their age. Sinclair’s knowledge, experience, and expertise make his opinions and suggestions invaluable for anyone aspiring to live a long and healthy life.
For anyone looking to empower themselves and accomplish more significant things, Bilyeu’s Kyzen tool will soon be available to the world.

QUOTES:
“80% of your longevity and health in old age is controllable, and only 20% is dictated by your genes, the genome. The rest is your epigenome that responds to how we live [7:36]
“Our livers are much smarter than our eyes and our mouths…” [24:35]
“Anything that stresses your body and puts it into a state of shock is good in the long run.” [38:16]
“When I boiled it down to its essence, I realized aging was a loss of information.” [1:01:58]
“That’s part of the problem with aging, which are genes getting turned on when they should be kept off for decades, and then cells get confused.” [1:14:17]
