Episode 103: Longevity Mindset

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.”
