#110: Dr. Vera Gorbunova - The newest science about living long and healthy
How do people manage to live a long, healthy and meaningful life for 100+ years? Is it possible for humans to decelerate, or even reverse aging?
And most importantly, can seaweed really help you look and feel younger inside out? Sigh, so less is known and talked about the science and academia behind aging research.
The guest for this week’s episode of Growth Island is Dr. Vera Gorbunova, a prominent name in biology and anti-aging research. Her many scientific studies and undertakings, including “Do Not Age” aim to simplify the mechanisms of age reversal and longevity for the regular person.
Dr. Vera Gorbunova is also the Doris Johns Cherry professor of Biology, co-director of the Rochester Aging Research Center, and co-director of the Gorbunova and Seluanov Laboratory at the University of Rochester.
In this episode, we discuss:
👉 Vera’s journey into biology, genetics and aging research
👉 Is lifespan extension by 2x or 5x possible?
👉 What to do to live a long, healthy life?
👉 Fascinating new findings in aging research
👉 How do seaweed supplements benefit our body?
👉 Can people really live for 150-180 years?
👉 And a lot more
