Lifespan
‘Lifespan’ by David A. Sinclair, PhD, with Matthew D. LaPlante
Harvard geneticist, David Sinclair, is a leading world authority on genetics and longevity, and in Lifespan: Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To, he reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable.” Dr. Sinclair tells his story by presenting groundbreaking research, much of it conducted by his own lab, on how we can slow down and potentially even reverse aging, thanks to his work with sirtuin genes. He argues that we can not only achieve longevity, but also improve our vitality through emerging technologies and lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity and eating less meat.
