43:10 Aubrey talks about costs.

In this episode of Becoming Young, Josh and Janae sit down with legendary longevity researcher Aubrey de Grey to explore the future of aging science and what it means for human lifespan. They dive deep into the latest breakthroughs in mTOR, rapamycin, senescence, and cellular rejuvenation, uncovering how cutting-edge research is redefining what’s possible for human healthspan.

Things we discussed…

The history of aging research and why scientists once believed aging was inevitable.
Aubrey de Grey’s new mouse studies and what they reveal about reversing aging.
Rapamycin, mTOR, and autophagy—how this pathway influences longevity.
The role of senolytics and clearing aging cells to extend healthspan.
What the future holds: Are we on the verge of radically extending human lifespan?
This is a must-watch for anyone interested in biohacking, anti-aging science, and longevity breakthroughs.

Subscribe for more expert interviews on longevity, biohacking, and peak performance!

💫 Meet the area of science that even Albert Einstein himself called “spooky”: quantum entanglement! 🤯

Classical physics is the force governing an extremely predictable world, where an apple set on a table stays there until something causes it to move again.

In the quantum world, not only can the apple end up on Mars, but, hypothetically, it could exist both on the table and on Mars at the same time. It could even be inextricably tied to another apple in some other part of the universe through entanglement. Thus, “reality” as we know it is much more uncertain, with the possibility for many solutions or outcomes to exist, rather than just one.

Quantum entanglement remains a spooky part of our world. Check out the resources below to learn more about how NASA scientists are working to unravel the mysteries of our quantum universe.
