In Lifespan, Harvard Medical School researcher Dr. David Sinclair challenges the notion that aging is inevitable. Drawing on decades of genetic and longevity studies, he argues that aging is a disease we can treat—and potentially reverse—by activating ancient survival genes.
Through vivid storytelling and cutting-edge science, Sinclair takes readers inside his lab to showcase breakthroughs in genetic reprogramming. He explains how new therapies could one day turn back our biological clocks, offering a bold vision for healthier, longer lives.
Alongside laboratory advances, Lifespan outlines practical steps supported by research. Sinclair presents simple lifestyle interventions that tap into our body’s natural repair mechanisms:
- Intermittent fasting to stimulate cellular renewal
- Cold exposure and thermal stress for gene activation
- High-intensity exercise to boost mitochondrial health
- Reduced meat intake to lower metabolic strain
By combining emerging technologies with everyday habits, Lifespan offers a comprehensive roadmap for anyone looking to take control of their health span and discover new possibilities in human longevity.
