Lifespan

Aging is our body's decline into old age and eventual death. But what if everything we’ve been taught about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: “Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable. ”This book takes us to the frontlines of research many from Dr. David Sinclair’s own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it.
