Lifespan
Why We Age―and Why We Don’t Have To
About the book
David A. Sinclair and Matthew D. LaPlante argue that aging is a disease, and that it can be treated. Sinclair, a Harvard Medical School scientist, presents a theory in which an ancient genetic survival circuit both drives aging and offers a way to reverse it, and describes how activating vitality genes could slow the process. The authors survey the hallmarks of aging, among them DNA damage that destabilizes the genome, changes to the epigenome, exhausted stem cells and inflammation. Research from Sinclair's own lab sits alongside lifestyle changes such as cold exposure, intermittent fasting and exercise at the right intensity. Its three parts deal with the past, present and future of the field.
Andrew Huberman called it a terrific book on aging as a disease and on longevity treatments now and to come. Bulletproof founder Dave Asprey endorsed it, describing Sinclair as a rock star of aging research.
