| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 1:35
| |
| | it's more sick care than health care there's a huge amount of suffering for the individual and of families anyone
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 1:42
| |
| | who's seen someone die understands that it's often not a pleasant process
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 1:50
| |
| | and it can take many years and the final moments are extremely stressful for everybody and
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 1:55
| |
| | and often painful so you know that that's in itself enough motivation
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 2:01
| |
| | um but you know the economic reasons are are really important though we just calculated with i have colleagues in

| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 2:12
| |
| | slowing down aging by one year and making people productive more productive for one year
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 2:18

| |
| | on just keeping people alive in a sick state um and they're not productive of course
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 2:29
| |
| | and so if you do it for 10 years it's 365 trillion dollars that's a lot of money that can be used for

| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 2:56

| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:03
| |
| | now part of it was from uh genetics right we're we're carrying one copy in every cell of our mother and

| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:10
| |
| | father's chromosomes but we're also in fact largely determined by what's
| |
| |-

| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:18
| |
| | called not the genome which is the dna but the epigenome and the epigenome are the control systems that tell
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:25
| |
| | the cell which genes to turn on and off and there's 20 something thousand genes but they only use a few thousand to to
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:32
| |
| | specify how to be a nerve cell versus skin cell and this all gets laid down as where embryos and
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:39
| |
| | eventually born and this epigenomic information that tells cells how to behave we think

| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:44
| |

| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 3:50
| |
| | you start to look older you can't clear toxins you can't think well your nerve cells don't work well you become

| |
| | less able to see at night eventually you get diseases that kill you and
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:03
| |
| | that's really the major cause of suffering on this planet and what we've done as a medical community
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:09
| |
| | um is to look at the end stage of this process and we call these things diseases
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:14
| |
| | and try to treat them with drugs and you're basically putting band-aids on the problem forgetting what got us to
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:20
| |
| | that point in the first place which is aging itself which i have proposed and is
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:27
| |
| | increasingly thought to be the case that it's disruption of that epigenetic
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:32
| |
| | control system that tells the cells which genes to turn on and off and that's sort of the information loss and
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:38
| |
| | i think one of the analogies you've used before is like a dvd player and a dvd getting scratched for those of us over

| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:44
| |
| | 40 i guess yeah uh i didn't realize you're over 40 you look young yourself so whatever you're
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:51
| |
| | doing keep doing that the um yeah so the dvd or the cd analogy
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 4:58
| |
| | works well to older with older people but anyone who doesn't remember these were plastic discs with um

| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:05
| |
| | foil that had little pits uh that represented zeros and ones and this is digital information and that digital
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:12
| |
| | information in the cell is dna and it's not zeros and ones it's atcg
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:18
| |
| | chemicals and they're strung out about six feet long of dna in every cell
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:24
| |
| | and that's about the same amount of information that you can fit on a dvd okay so our cells are dvd
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:29
| |
| | but what aging is i've proposed is that it's like scratches that disrupt

| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:35

| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:41
| |
| | and you get a horrible cacophony of music and what we've discovered is that
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:46
| |
| | there are ways to well we discovered one of the main causes of scratches that's broken

| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 5:58
| |
| | crush nerves but we've also figured out and recently published
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:03
| |
| | that there's a way we think to polish those scratches so that we can play that

| |
| | beautiful music of youth again let's talk a little bit about sort of like reducing our biological age
| |
| |}
| |
| === How fasting decreases aging ===
| |
| {| style="padding-top: 1em;"
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:15
| |
| | and i think we're all interested to some extent some people more than others and living a
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:21
| |
| | long time but we all want that time to be full of vitality and productivity and
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:27
| |
| | not just living longer for the sake of living longer and i think that's where the biological age versus your
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:33
| |
| | chronological age sort of becomes important one of the ways that i've heard you talk about before is fasting
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:40
| |
| | and it's super interesting because fasting isn't new i mean it used to be a necessity for us but now we're starting
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:46
| |
| | to learn about why it's helpful can you talk a little bit about the benefits of fasting and how it relates to slowing
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:52
| |
| | down or even reversing aging yeah well these systems that tell cells
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 6:58
| |
| | how to read the genes at the right time this epigenome there are gene there are factors that
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:03
| |
| | control that and so a little very little bit of biology here
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:09
| |
| | uh dna isn't just floating around the cell it's actually looped into
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:15
| |
| | big loops that tell genes to be switched on uh and genes that should be switched off are bundled up tightly um and we call
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:23
| |
| | this stuff chromatin and those those loops of genes that are on and bundles of genes that are off
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:29
| |
| | are controlled in part by a set of genes called the sirtuins
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:34
| |
| | and those genes make proteins that cause these loops and bundles particularly they create these bundles to keep genes
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:40
| |
| | switched off because you don't want a liver liver gene or a skin gene coming on in the brain
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:45
| |
| | but that's what happens with aging we find and so one way to make sure this process goes slower
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 7:52
| |
| | is to turn on these sertuan epigenetic regulators to use a more technical term
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:00
| |
| | and there are seven of these uh epigenetic regulators the the things that prevent the scratches
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:06
| |
| | and we can turn them on with gene therapy uh in mice we do this and
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:13
| |
| | if you do it in the brain of a mouse they'll live longer do it in the body they can live longer but we can't genetically modify
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:19
| |
| | ourselves so what we can we've also found is that these genes get turned on by adversity
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:24
| |
| | adversity or at least perceived adversity if our body thinks we're going to run out of food or we need to run away from a sabretooth tiger or we're
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:32
| |
| | chasing a mastodon then our body says oh you know times might be tough
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:37
| |
| | don't put all our energy and resources into growing bigger muscles in fact put that
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:43
| |
| | some of that energy into surviving hunkering down and defending the body against
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:49
| |
| | toxins against damage and that we know leads to longer life it slows down this clock of epigenetic
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 8:56
| |
| | changes uh which we can measure uh and we also know that um
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:02
| |
| | the ways to mimic adversity include skipping meals uh eating less protein in
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:09
| |
| | general being hot and cold um and then the big one
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:14
| |
| | um is eating the right types of food that uh we all know a healthy mediterranean type
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:21
| |
| | diet and there are actually chemicals within those foods of a mediterranean diet in olive oil and red wine
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:27
| |
| | that we found in my lab to activate these sirtuins and probably also slow down the clock but they certainly
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:33
| |
| | improve health and then the last thing i think is really important is what i'm working on is not about keeping
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:38
| |
| | people older at the end of life and alive for longer it's the opposite we're keeping animals
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:45
| |
| | and increasingly we're showing with people that you can keep them younger for longer so that when you're 80 you
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:51
| |
| | can actually be 60. is there are there's so many different directions i want to go in here but is
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="min-width:4em; color: grey; text-align: right; padding-right: 1em; vertical-align: top;" | 9:56
| |
| | there a point where fasting becomes i mean there is a point unhelpful right like if you don't eat you will die

| |-
