Have you ever wondered how long you will live? And if so, how could you change that number to live drastically longer? The science might be in your favor: follow David Sinclair, Australian biologist and professor of genetics at Harvard University, as he shares his research on slowing and reversing the process of aging in mice, and how the same technology may someday be transferable to humans. David Sinclair, Australian biologist and professor of genetics at Harvard University, shares his insightful research into the science of age reversal and anti-aging medicine.

  • My right eye has a crushed optic nerve (caused by high IOP (intra occular pressure)) - which has resulted in about 5% vision in my right eye ( practically useless). At the 12 minute mark David talks about treatment that reprogrammed a mouse's optic nerve to regenerate. I would gladly volunteer for such a study - I mean, what do I have to lose - the vision in my right eye is already gone. I wish my comment ( much like, a "message in a bottle"), would find its way to Professor Sinclair.

    This guy is 53 but looks 35. I think he knows what he's talking about
  • @emyoji1316
    I thought this guy is in his 30's. His research is really working for him.
  • The saying" Death is inevitable" should inspire us to live a health life instead of panicking. When Sinclair says" Death is a disease" it really challenges my traditional view on death. I believe now that Death is a disease and since every disease is treatable, there's no reason why death can't be cured, or at least slowed down or increasing the lifespan by as much as 100 years , which is like having another life experience.
  • @MisakoYoke
    David looks younger than in his TEDx talk in Sydney 10 years ago. I think it's working.
  • The real battle is against fear and hate. Years of stress will drastically shorten one’s life.
  • @anon69669
    David is really ahead of the curve. He deserves more funding and attention
  • @glowsea5185
    I ve been folowing davind sinclair since a was 37 years old . Now I m 31 !
  • @jamesroof6150
    A human worth listening to. No one gets my time unless it is constructive, positive and expands knowledge and wisdom.
  • My grandma on my Dad's side lived to be 97 years old in Cuba. She had great vision, perfect blood pressure, strong bones. Healthy teeth. Hooray!!
  • @darthkrayt4369
    This science has so many positive implications. I recently did something awful and hurt many people close to me, I am experiencing tremendous shame for my actions and was suicidal for a time. I am so glad I didn't now, as this means we can recover from anything as personal growth is essentially unlimited. I know that I'll never be so shallow as to betray someone I love again, and now I may have eternity to prove it!

    David is a legend. Hope he lives forever and so do we. Thanks for sharing tour knowledge
  • So informative, but also nice to see somebody doing something they are really passionate about. This is clearly David's life mission.
  • @compucentrum
    I have to smile during that lecture. I have been using antioxidants exclusively for 19 years. I refuse any signaling pathway activators, flavonoids and polyphenols. The goal is that I'm as young as David Sinclair and I look so young too.
  • @kevinloo9688
    I read his book and put my parents on NMN. My dad got energy that he didn’t know he had. My mom hasn’t noticed a difference. Looking forward to 40 more years with my parents🥰
  • @murrmurr765
    This guy gave me 29 months with my mother who had brain cancer which usually gives you 12 months. I try to influence all my family but they have a hard time taking it seriously.
  • David is really a legend. Thank you sir for this information.
