Nir Barzlai, M.D., founded the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine over twenty years ago. His most fascinating study features a patient population of 600 centenarians, individuals who maintain active lives well into their 90s and 100s and, more importantly, reached that milestone never having experienced the so-called big four: cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Dr. Barzlai identified three clusters of genetic mutations connected to levels of cholesterol, growth hormones, and peptides produced in their cells' mitochondria that correlate to centenarians' enviable lifespan and health span. In this audiobook, he translates those findings to news listeners can use, including taking melatonin and using intermittent fasting, to mimic some of the effects of the 'super agers'' genetic code.
