It is not treated as a medical condition. None of the underlying factors are even considered. Clearly that lecture went over your head.

It is not entirely true that our lifespan is determined at birth genetically. There are many people in old age who die of singular health events such as heart attack or stroke. Most of those people if they had early intervention would live much longer. Now in term of the human maximum life span that could be genetic but not how long a person lives. It will not be one technology that gets people to live longer and healthier it will be a collection of interventions and most of it will be based in personal medicine. Now in terms of extending the human maximum life span which looks to be under 120 years of age.

Meat does not create hunger spike either. What seems to the deciding factor is how much carbohydrates a person eats. Most people that eat a lot of processed foods are eating wheat in abundance and this appears to be the driving force in insulin resistance.

The science and technology of anti aging could also be used to help develop space expansion.

Does not have to be as extreme as keto. For many people just cutting back on carbohydrates is enough. Most of society are eating far too much carbohydrates and not enough proteins and fats and it is turning them into diabetics.

@jimbeaver27 I am not saying keto cannot be used. What I mean is for the vast majority of people a lower carbohydrate diet will work. Keto can be used for extreme cases and it is a great tool.

@BrainPowerSubs Demonization? Nearly 50% of people are insulin resistant.

@jimbeaver27 People that are obese and on high carbohydrate diets will see an improved health outcome when they cut back.

Pharma is where the health treatments come from. Where exactly did you think they came from?

Pharma is part of the market place like everybody else. And Pharma that does not move on this will lose out. The company that produces the patents for this to be used by everybody on earth will become extremely rich. Imagine having a product that everybody above 50 has to use.

America, Europe and most of China have a stable population and it has been that way for the last 50 years. The problem most of those developed countries have is the low birth rate which will mean a massive reduction in population. The planet could easily support 30 billion people with good industry and technology.

Not even 10 more years of life. Just to get everybody to the point that they can live an active healthy life until they are 80 would be an amazing first step.

You are talking about age as an actual number but he is talking about it biologically in terms of how people have health outcomes. Why you will see a 65 year old who is like a 90 year old and a 90 year old that is like a 65 year old. That is what he is getting at. I am in my forties but look like I am in my late 20s and I can perform physically like a 28 year old. He is not referring to age as in a number but the biological structure of the body. ANd by aging he is also talking about trying to be healthier for longer and not to be a 72 year old that cannot walk and is very sick.
