Immortality Our Future? Technology is our Fountain of Youth with Liz Parrish

Posted by in categories: futurism, life extension

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoRTTOzkkN0&feature=share

Liz Parish joins the show to discuss her company’s efforts to reverse aging. Her aging trials have been famously conducted on her personally resulting in 20 year reversals on Telomere cell lengths, muscle mass, and other factors. We discuss the real possibility that humans could live to be over 1000 years old in our lifetimes. We also discuss the ethical issues that arise from the flood of new technologies that will soon be on the market.

You can see more about Parrish and her company at BioViva-Science.com

Boosting Autophagy to treat heart disease

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, sustainability

Increasing autophagy in macrophages is a promising avenue of research aiming at heart disease and other age-related diseaeses.


Today we thought it was a good time to take a look at a new study that demonstrates that increasing autophagy is a good approach to slowing aging and could be the foundation for a variety of therapies to treat age-related diseases.

What is Autophagy?

Living forever would be boring

Posted by in category: life extension

A brief article I wrote to rebut the misconception that longer—perhaps indefinite—lifespans would cause eternal boredom.


Alright. So, some people object you don’t want a very long lifespan because it would end up being boring. Even if a currently normal lifespan wasn’t enough, they argue, something like two hundred years would be more than enough to do anything worth doing. I wouldn’t bet my last cent on it.

Meet John and Jack, both born in the year 1400. John says he regrets he will not live past 1500 1490 1470 (that’s more like it). There are so many things he’ll miss out on centuries from now, he says.

Gene identified that may explain why some people live beyond 100

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Japanese researchers have identified specific features of a gene that could hold the key to living beyond 100 and lead to the development of medicine for extra longevity.

Scientists at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology, Keio University and other institutes said that centenarians and those close to that age share specific features of a gene that helps stem the spread of cancer and form bones.

“The gene we identified recently is not the sole actor determining longevity,” said Masashi Tanaka, chief of the Department of Clinical Laboratory at the institute. “But we believe that it plays a role in anti-aging in one way or another.”
