Nir Barzilai is a physician and a researcher at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where he runs the Institute for Geroscience. Nir’s problem is this: How can we use lifestyle changes and drugs to slow the process of aging?
In this episode, Nir explains:
The search for biological markers of aging
The existing drugs that might reduce the risk of diseases associated with aging
The four key lifestyle factors that every researcher in the field agrees on
What he learned by studying the genes of people who lived to 100
What “geroscience” means, and why it doesn’t have a Wikipedia page
