The Ledger, every show

“And what we've discovered is that there are ways to, well, we discovered one of the main causes of scratches, that's broken chromosomes, which happens all the time in our bodies. Extreme cell damage also does that if we crush nerves. But we've also figured out…”

“I'm convinced and the data shows it from population studies that a carnivorous diet isn't a longevity producing diet in the long run, right?”

“And there are seven of these epigenetic regulators, the things that prevent the scratches, and we can turn them on With gene therapy. In mice, we do this, and if you do it in the brain of a mouse, they'll live longer. Do it in the body, they can live longer.”

“And I know from clinical trials that I've been involved with that taking a gram of NMN, which I do every day, raises NAD levels in whole blood, in the cells in the blood, probably in the rest of my body as well.”

“In the animal studies in my lab, when we gave NMN, this molecule that I take every day, to a mouse that was sedentary, didn't have a wheel, didn't run, it could run further, ok? And we actually have human data that's looking really promising in that direction …”

“About a year ago, we published that we could reverse the age of an animal. And we restored eyesight to a blind old mouse and cure glaucoma in that animal.”

“Every day over a 100,000 people die from aging itself”

“In mice, we do this, and if you do it in the brain of a mouse, they'll live longer. Do it in the body. They can live longer, but we can't genetically modify ourselves.”

“Now, if you start fasting, and you've never done it before, you will feel hungry. There's a hormone called ghrelin, which will cause that. Of course, it's not real. Hunger is just mental state, but after three weeks, you find, I found, that the state of hunger…”

“It's been shown by studying hundreds of people over their lifetimes that one of the most important, if not the most important factor, is to have a reliable partner. A pet can substitute for that if you don't have one of those at the time. But yeah, you want co…”

“LP little a is the worst. You know, about 30% of us have this, and we're destined, if we don't do something, to have a short lifespan.”

“There are animal studies you can, I could point to that show that you can have, affect this mTOR pathway with a drug called rapamycin that extends their lifespan, even if they're the equivalent of 70 years old.”

“There's now a lot of evidence that being in a sauna is good for heart health at a minimum. There's a lot of studies of thousands of mostly men in Finland that do sauna bathing, as they call it. And they are protected dramatically, like they are exercising.”
