Ep 40 - Dr. Naras Lapsys - The Science of Longevity: Decoding Aging

Longevity Summary: Today, we are excited to talk about a really hot topic: Longevity! We have the great Dr Naras Lapsys with us. With a PhD in molecular genetics, Dr Lapsys began his career researching obesity and diabetes at the Garvan Institute. Recognising the need for a holistic approach to health, he earned a Masters in nutrition and dietetics and founded The Body Doctor. As an Accredited Practicing Dietitian and Sports Dietitian, he has tackled diverse health issues, from weight management to chronic diseases. In 2023 Dr Lapsys joined Chi Longevity as Chief Clinical officer, and Chi Tree Health as a senior dietitian. Now, as a Board certified specialist in regenerative and anti aging medicine in Australia and US, Dr Lapsys combines decades of research, hands on experience, and continued education to help people achieve optimal health and longevity. In this episode, we discuss topics such as whether aging is a disease, the difference between biological and chronological age, the concepts of healthspan versus lifespan, and the mechanisms behind aging. We'll also discuss measuring and potentially slowing down biological aging, the role of repurposed drugs and geroprotective molecules, and the impact of vitamins and minerals on aging. And that's just the beginning—there's much more we cover. Dr Lapsys will share insights on how to tackle aging beyond the hype.
