Can We Slow Down Aging?
Notes de l’épisode
Nir Barzilai is a physician and a researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where he runs the Institute for Geroscience. Nir’s problem is this: How can we use lifestyle changes and drugs to slow the process of aging?
In this episode, Nir explains:
- The search for biological markers of aging
- The existing drugs that might reduce the risk of diseases associated with aging
- The four key lifestyle factors that every researcher in the field agrees on
- What he learned by studying the genes of people who lived to 100
- What “geroscience” means, and why it doesn’t have a Wikipedia page
