Exponential Wisdom

Episode 103: Longevity Mindset

by

Peter and Dan discuss the benefits of fostering a Longevity Mindset. Now more than ever — during a new age of exponential medicine — many will no longer have to accept the cards we’re dealt. Technologies like genome sequencing, RNA transcriptomics, Wnt pathway modifiers, novel vaccines, CRISPR, liquid biopsies, CAR-T cells, gene therapy, exosomes, and stem cells are just some of the innovations under development.

In this episode:

  • Peter reframes aging as a disease, one that many are beginning to believe can be slowed, stopped and perhaps even reversed.
  • Dan and Peter compare the process of vaccine creation today to methodologies used 10 years ago, exploring how COVID-19 has sped up all parts of the process. 
  • Peter explains why the best thing you can do for your longevity is to optimize sleep, diet and exercise, and to “not die from something stupid.”

Dan and Peter discuss their common desire to live a long and healthy life, and takeaways from Peter’s recent visit to a cutting-edge stem cell clinic in Panama.

 

 

In this episode:

  • Peter discusses his belief that if we’re able to stay alive for the next 50 years, we will have access to converging technologies that can keep us alive indefinitely — what Ray Kurzweil calls reaching “longevity escape velocity”
  • Peter explains what stem cells are and why they have the ability to rejuvenate the body.  Watch this short animation for more information: https://youtu.be/y0R4iaVOswk
  • Peter and Dan discuss the Young Blood experiments at Stanford University and what this research means for rejuvenating the human body.
