“His framework draws from the Harvard Study of Adult Development, whose original analysis linked several potentially controllable factors with successful physical and psychological aging. Curiosity and lifelong learning can help people remain engaged as life changes.”

“Aging is driven by both genetic and lifestyle factors. The pathways that govern how a person ages vary. Dr. Snyder's research indicates that people exhibit distinct aging patterns, called "ageotypes," based on measures of organ function and other biomarkers.”

“The PROT-AGE Study Group recommends at least 1.0 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day for most adults over 65 to help maintain lean mass and physical function. Longitudinal evidence connects higher protein intake with better muscle and frailty outcomes.”

“Sustained training at the right dose at the right time period in the aging process reverses the effects of sedentary aging." - Benjamin Levine, M.D. Of course, none of this is to say that if you're 70 or older, you should just throw up your hands and forget exercise altogether.”

“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss genetic and environmental factors that can accelerate or slow epigenetic aging. Dr. Levine also discusses the aging clock she created and how it can be used, along with other biomarkers, to determine an individual's rate of aging.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews multivitamins for cognitive aging and sulforaphane for DNA protection and detoxification.

“The processes that mediate aging can be likened to those that drive the sharing of digital information – the idea that, as a signal is transmitted, information is lost and must be continually resent to maintain signal integrity.”

“Nutritional status plays a critical role in aging. Emerging evidence now suggests that supplemental omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D slow epigenetic aging. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath describes evidence suggesting that supplemental vitamin D or omega-3 fatty acids slow epigenetic aging.”

“People start to lose muscle mass in their late thirties or forties at a rate of roughly 1 percent per year, translating to a 1 to 3 percent loss in strength or power. Doing what we can to slow muscle loss as we age may improve quality of life.”

“A cell's finite capacity to divide – a phenomenon known as replicative senescence – is an intrinsic feature of the body's cells and fundamental to the aging process. Telomeres in most human cells shorten during aging, suggesting that it is both a cause and a biomarker of aging.”
