Is Aging a Disease?

About the Event

In 2013 Dr. David Sinclair of Harvard (author of “Lifespan. Why We Age and Why We Don’t Have to”) gave a TED Talk titled, “A Cure for Aging“? In the talk Sinclair describes the science behind an emerging idea, aging has fundamental biochemical principles that can be altered to slow, speedup, and perhaps even reserve the process, and that we are misguided in placing almost 99% of our resources on the individual diseases that often develop as we age. Almost 10 years later the longevity field has exploded with exciting new therapies being researched, medications being tested, and long known lifestyle interventions being applied to manipulate the biologic clock and increase longevity.

Is this about living forever? Of course not. We will all age, but, as Dr. Sinclair references in his talk, “80% of how we age is related to epigenetic factors, many of which are related to the lifestyle choices we make each day.
