Overview
All living things are programmed with a certain lifespan, which can be dramatically different from species to species.
Humans now, in general, live twice as long as our ancestors, thanks to environmental changes and advances in medicine. But most of us spend the last years of our lives without the quality of life we really want. We’ve come to identify a slew of symptoms and chronic diseases as a natural part of aging, but do they really have to be?
Today I’m excited to talk to Dr. George Church all about the latest science on reprogramming our genes to extend our healthspan and lifespan.
Dr. Church and I dive into our conversation discussing the top things that prevent disease and enhance longevity. He explains how we can use new technologies to repair and reprogram cells to a younger state and treat the diseases of aging in the process. Gene editing and gene therapy are two treatments we discuss in-depth, which Dr. Church defines and shares some exciting examples of.
The human lifespan has grown substantially, and it could keep going. We talk about living youthfully past 100 using the latest genetic therapies, plus so much more.
