Longevity: Measurable, Influenceable, Reversible Aging Factors
Honored to speak at Harvard about longevity and the science of extending healthspan. For decades, we've treated aging as something that happens to us. Today, we're learning that many of the factors that drive aging are measurable, influenceable, and in some cases, reversible. The future of longevity is about living better AND longer. Thanks to Harvard University for having me and everyone that attended. 🧠⚡
Boosting SIRT6 Reverses Liver Aging and Restores Youthful Genes
This study suggests that increasing SIRT6 can reverse age-related changes in liver cells, restoring a more youthful gene expression pattern by reducing inflammation, improving metabolism, and rejuvenating chromatin structure. https://t.co/eEUz3KACvO
