Read by David A. Sinclair.

It's seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we've been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, a leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he explains: Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable. This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the front lines of research that is pushing the boundaries of our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs-- many from Dr. Sinclair's own lab at Harvard-- that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered genes, the descendants of an ancient survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger but actually become younger. Through gripping narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites the listener into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes-- such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat-- that have been shown to help us feel younger and stay healthier longer. At once a road map for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, "Lifespan" will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.
