From an acclaimed Harvard professor and one of Time’s most influential people, this paradigm-shifting audiobook shows
how almost everything we think we know about aging is wrong, offers a front-row seat to the amazing global effort to
slow, stop, and reverse aging, and calls listeners to consider a future where aging can be treated.
For decades, experts have believed that we are at the mercy of our genes and that natural damage to our genes - the kind
that inevitably happens as we get older - makes us become sick and grow old.
But what if everything you think you know about aging is wrong? What if aging is a disease - and that disease is
treatable?
In Lifespan, one of the world’s foremost experts on aging and genetics reveals a groundbreaking new theory that will
forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it. Aging isn’t immutable; we can have far
more control over it than we realize. This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the front lines of research that
is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs - many from Dr.
David Sinclair’s own lab - that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, the genetic clock. The key is
activating newly discovered vitality genes - the decedents of an ancient survival circuit that is both the cause of
aging and the key to reversing it. Dr. Sinclair shares the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes - such as
intermittent fasting, cold exposure, and exercising with the right intensity - that have been shown to help lead to
longer lives.
Lifespan provides a road map for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future when
humankind is able to live to be 100 years young.
