187. Cracking The Code On Aging with Dr. Aubrey de Grey

from Get Yourself Optimized® Hosted by Stephan Spencer

Getting old is one of those certainties like death and taxes that most people just accept. A few tried to fight it with plastic surgery or biohacking but for everyone else, it's an inevitability. What if aging is not a certainty and instead a disease with a cure? My guest for this episode is one of the top scientists in the world on extreme life extension. He's not willing to accept small advances in this area. He has absolutely driven to getting humanity to longevity escape velocity where for every year we live, we get an extra year added on to our lifespan due to advances in medical technologies. His name is Dr. Aubrey de Grey. I first met him over a decade ago at the Foresight Institute, one of their events. He's been working on this problem for much longer than that. While the Fountain of Youth is still ways off, Aubrey's team has made some promising breakthroughs and incredible discoveries about why and how our bodies age. He'll reveal the seven hallmarks of aging and the latest research on the interventions that could stop them. Aubrey is a truly inspiring person in so many ways. I highly recommend reading this episode in full, in fact reading it again more than once, whether you're planning or not to live forever.
