The one good point about Cameron Diaz’s book is that she talks about menopause. I’ll be 51 this spring. She goes into an overview of what happens like hot flashes and cold sweats. At Abundance 360, David Sinclair made quite a number of encouraging comments about the future of aging research, including methods of resetting epigenetics to a youthful state. Emmett Short discusses these comments on this […]

LEAF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to promoting increased healthy human lifespan through fiscally sponsoring longevity research projects, and raising awareness regarding the societal benefits of life extension. Anti-Aging Medicine: How We Can Extend Lifespan and Live Longer and Healthier Lives (Kindle Edition) Loved it :) Feels like you're sitting down with Cameron Diaz and she really cares about your well being and wants to help you. I imagine us sitting in her chic apartment overlooking New York with a glass of red wine in our hands and she's teaching me a million things about ageing.

The book begins by delving into the biology of aging, exploring how the aging processes affect our bodies and examining the cellular mechanisms that contribute to aging. Dr. Barzilai outlines the roles of genetics and epigenetics in aging, discussing how some individuals are predisposed to live exceptionally long lives due to specific genetic factors. He introduces the concept of longevity genes, which are genetic variations that help protect against age-related diseases and promote overall health. You need to recognize that you are developing nutrient deficiencies with age and identify and treat them for longevity.” While the question is simple, so is his approach. Howard focuses on pulling a few physiological and metabolic levers consistently, rather than getting lost in conflicting research, expensive supplements, and pricey technological doodads. This approach is tonic in a health & wellness world full of complex, conflicting and often contradictory information, including from people who should know better. But I wasn’t. I was doing complicated fitness theater instead, a complex kind of wellness that wasn’t doing me any favors, as shown by my constant injuries, mostly overuse ones from doing too much, getting hurt, taking a break, and starting all over again. That was me being stupid, and overcomplicating things. The book culminates with an optimistic outlook on the future of aging research, highlighting ongoing advances in the field and their potential impact on our lives. Dr. Barzilai discusses the potential for personalized medicine, based on individual genetics and tailored interventions, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding the pursuit of extended lifespans.The rate at which we age and the shifts that accompany ageing are unique for every person. We will age, but we will not all experience ageing the same way. Yet there are, generally speaking, some changes that will affect us all." (p. 67) The reason why people in traditional marriages tend to stay together for a lifetime is because it is ‘standard’ to sacrifice novelty for longevity, while some of us [the modern ones] who value and prioritize sensuality and depth of connection in a relationship or marriage find it absolutely preposterous to sacrifice novelty for longevity—the price is just way too high, that is if you truly understand what’s really at stake.” When we are young...our entire skeleton is replaced about every ten years, with osteoclast cells reabsorbing old bone and osteoblast cells forming new bone. However, as we age, the number of osteoclast cells increases and bone breakdown subsequently overtakes bone build-up, which causes a gradual loss of bone mass." (p 104)
