This is very [ __ ] hell. >> It's bad, right? >> It's hard. Yeah.
00:00:03
>> That's what it's like to be old. And for far too long, we've ignored it or
00:00:07
accepted it as natural. And I reject the idea that aging just because it's natural is acceptable. Dying at 80 is
00:00:14
not inevitable. Absolutely, that can be changed. So, if you're skeptical, I am a
00:00:18
Harvard professor who has been studying aging, longevity, and age reversal for 30 years. And I've seen enough from my
00:00:24
lab showing that we can literally now reverse the aging process. And it's not
00:00:28
a question of if, it's a question of when this is going to happen. And everyone should stick around cuz I'm
00:00:32
going to tell you some of the major things that people should be doing. They can lengthen your life by a decade. Hey,
00:00:36
you're not taking that off, Stephen. You got 10 minutes for that. So, you can
00:00:40
accelerate aging by smoking, getting an X-ray, ultrarocessed foods, excessive drinking, flying a lot.
00:00:45
>> I fly all the time. >> That's probably accelerating your aging
00:00:48
process, even going to a rock concert and blasting your eardrums because your ear
00:00:54
hair cells are getting older faster. And so I look at the body like it's a computer and we can reinstall the
00:01:00
software. And what's interesting is when you reverse aging, diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease go
00:01:05
away or are cured because what's driving a lot of those diseases is aging. And so
00:01:10
my lab is like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. They are making discoveries that blow me away every week. And I
00:01:16
think we're at a turning point in human history where you're probably going to
00:01:19
live into the 22nd century if you do all the right things. >> And we're going to dig into all of those
00:01:23
in great detail. But what are the unintended consequences of such a world where we all live longer? And also, do
00:01:28
you think it's going to be possible in the next 50 years for us to live forever? And then, what's the best uh
00:01:33
treatment you've discovered for hair loss? >> This is why I love your podcast,
00:01:36
Stephen. You asked the right questions. So first
