My father is 97 years old. He is a WWII vet and has survived double pneumonia, sepsis and Covid in the last two years. And he rides his recumbent bicycle 30 minutes daily. His longevity, in my opinion, is directly related to his low caloric intake (and great caretaking). He’s eaten once or twice per day for his entire life. Super interesting science. Thank you.

One thing I question is the exposure to cold. I was homeless for 6 years and it wrecked my health. I have to say right here that I don't do drugs, that was never my problem, because a lot of people on the streets self-medicate, but I never liked drugs, not even pot. The main contributing factors for my health deterioration were were chronic stress (bordering on PTSD), especially due to constant police and societal harassment, and poor diet, due to being poor, eating old, cold and cheap foods. However, one other thing started really messing my hormones up, and that was living through winters and snow without heating. I lived in my van, so I would get under the feather comforter and sleeping bag at night and shiver for about an hour until my own body heat would heat up the space. I was able to get warm during the days at a cafe or library, but there was no refuge at night from the cold. The last couple winters, my body started having trouble self-regulating its heat. I would be so cold, and then I would suddenly overheat and be sweating. I have gone into early menopause in my early 40's. I am totally traumatized by the cold now. I feel like Scarlet O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind," except I would say, "As God is my witness, I will never go cold again!" Dr. Sinclair saying he wears a T-shirt in winter gives me shivers. So I respect deprivation of our ancestors (and the current indigent) as something that can be absolutely damaging. The homeless have a much lower lifespan than the rest of society. Controlled deprivation is still privileged deprivation. That being said, we do live in a society of sickening over-abundance. And I do notice that wealthier people often seem less happy than the homeless, where the smallest thing is appreciated. I watched your video on dopamine, and it finally made sense to me why that is. Now that I am housed, I am able to rest and heal and have some peace, but I'm also in a slump. Being alive in this world is a difficult balance between security and thrill.

I took resveratrol because of his research in the 2000s in my early 30s. I had a critically bad response and all of my tendons became really weak and I had massive onset of what felt like arthritis throughout my body. I was on the Imminst/Longecity forums back then and there was a subset of people on resveratrol who had very bad tendon responses. Sometimes they would just get up out of their chair and rip their Achilles tendons. Never touched resveratrol since then and it took years to recover, and I don't think I ever fully did.

My father lived to be 90 years old; my mother is a healthy 93 year old. In my opinion, their longevity is based on good genes, a healthy vegetable heavy; meat light diet and, a physically active and social life style. We have a citrus orchard & they ate a lot of citrus fruits. Perhaps, vitamin C can take some credit too. Most of their senior years they lived in a Blue Zone, south-western corner of Turkiye where the seas Aegean and Mediterranean meet. There are four seasons and only summers are hot. I have been told by a doctor that continuously living in a hot climate tends to result in shorter life spans.

Welcome to the Future everyone, where golden information like this is free and available instantly.
@vickihughes9476
I am a practicing physician assistant and went into medicine because my family has always been on the wholistic/ natural path. We grew our own veggies, bought farm fresh eggs and grass fed local beef, had fruit trees and grape arbors. We ate fruits and veggies all day. We were physically active all day. My father is 93 and not on any meds. My mom is 89. They do not smoke and rarely drink alcohol. They have never had cancer, diabetes, dementia, heart disease. I have been telling patients for years that it is not rocket science and the best treatment I can give them is to eat only to live and keep moving. I could talk for hours about this! Our food production and lifestyles are killing us. It is that simple!! I would love to help get more of this information out there! And I would love to meet you both! Thank you and Keep up the great work!

Menopause is brutal. It led me to David Sinclair and life changes... i feel so much better but still not the same as before. We desperately need more research to address this bro real issue affecting over half the population.
@akashprathod
Two scientists that I follow all the time, now on one podcast. This is a Christmas gift.
@jaynanewbold8263
In addition to the generosity and vast knowledge provided, can we all agree that this podcast is most enjoyable due to the fact that these two gentlemen utilize the art of conversation very well? No interrupting, grandstanding, one upmanship, talking over one another. A lost art, indeed. Well-directed by Dr .Huberman and cooperative responses by Dr. Sinclair. Riveting!! Thank you both!
@ronandheather3079
2 humble geniuses genuinely appreciating each other’s genius. No competition. No agenda. (Except to share) wow! What a gift indeed. Everybody loves this
@Av-yf6nn
I am 37 and I’ve never intended to fast but my routine sounds like exactly what he mentioned. I eat once per day, never crave sugar or carbs. Once our body gets used to with the routine, my mind listens to my body instead of the other way around. It’s so important that we understand our body & listen to it because our body is science itself.
@Darnabymom
I just turned 60 and am the caregiver for my mom who this week turns 100!!!! For her age she is doing amazingly well. As I see her quality of health, it spurs me on to increase my health span not just my life span.
@xxlegitfailxx
Was on the borderline of checking myself into drug treatment this month until i started reading Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, watched a few of the podcasts in this series followed by a responsible psychedelic experience...can't explain how grateful I am for resources like yours, Dr Wakers, Dr Sinclairs etc. People don't talk enough about how diet, exercise and proper rest enable making the right decisions in other areas of your life so much easier. Normally i shitpost and troll in the comments but with 100% of my sincere-ness thank you.
@TheInterwebzMan
I’m 35 now and starting to see and feel it. I swear I was 22 just yesterday. Time flies!
@Nightowl1947
What a gift for us, your audience. I do the fasting at 74 and feel great. Implementing new ways to maintain good health, never felt so good! Thank you both for you kindness and willingness to share .
@Simon1985_
I’ve drank heavily. HEAVILY for at least 20 years. Not because I enjoy it, but because my anxiety problem is very temporarily masked by it (but also exacerbated by it). I’m 38 in a couple of weeks and I’m terrified that it’s going to hit me very soon and I’m gonna be very ill or look like a haggard old prune in the near future. 2023 is my goal to do at least 4 weeks abstinence from alcohol because of another of Dr Huberman’s videos on dopamine which perfectly described my affliction with alcohol use.
@lauralockie
After viewing this podcast, I grabbed a copy of "Lifespan" by David Sinclair, and I was completely unprepared for what a well written, intriguing theory of life itself on our planet it would contain. Everyone should read this book to gain an understanding of the science of themselves and how to live a better life. Thank you so much for introducing us to his work!

This is gold… I am 48 and started taking AG1 and NMN and I got pregnant…. Nothing else had changed except those two things! … I did lose the baby at 3 months but I understand the body will do what the body wants… the key is consistency!
