We have long assumed aging is inevitable, but is it? Professor David Sinclair, founder of the Sinclair Lab at Harvard’s Medical School and author of the bestselling “Lifespan: Why We Age — and Why We Don’t Have To,” joins Azeem Azhar to discuss emerging research that promises to radically slow down aging.

Their conversation covers:

What the Information Theory of Aging is and how it shifts the paradigm on biomarkers of aging.

Why periodically stressing your body can promote health and longevity.

Which supplements might arrest the three biochemical pathways implicated in aging.
