Healthspan, Rapamycin, and The Dog Aging Project with Matt Kaeberlein, PhD","description":"
\n
\n
\n
\n
\nMatt Kaeberlien is one of the leading researchers on the science of aging. I was beyond honored to have him on the show to discuss this now almost clieche question: “Is aging a disease?” Although the FDA and other health professionals don’t want to categorizes it as such, aging has many of the similarities of a disease.
\n
\n
\n
\nThis being the case we can, if willing, combat aging in a pro-active manner as though we were fighting a disease.
\n
\n
\n
\nMatt is one of the leading experts in the burgeoning field of healthspan sciences. It’s not enough we are living longer. We must find ways to live healthier longer.
\n
\n
\n
\nMatt has been at the forefront of research on Rapamycin, which while not a panacea has shown to be a powerful deterrent of some of the symptoms of aging. This was such a fascinating conversation, and I feel so lucky to have been able to share this time with Matt. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

\nResearch Interests
\n
\n
\n
\nDr. Kaeberlein\u2019s research interests are focused on biological mechanisms of aging in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life.

\nThe Dog Aging Project
\n
\n
\n
\nAbout the Project
\n
\n
\n
\nThe goal of the Dog Aging Project is to understand how genes, lifestyle, and environment influence aging. We want to use that information to help pets and people increase healthspan, the period of life spent free from disease.
