What is aging? Is it a disease? Is it inevitable? What processes in the body are responsible for aging and can they slowed or reversed with the correct interventions. Dr. David Sinclair is a Professor of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and the author of the book Lifespan: Why We Age — And Why We Don’t Have To. In this episode of New Frontiers, he talks with Dr. Fitzgerald about the genetic and epigenetic controls of aging and lifestyle interventions for slowing the aging process.
