This was the best Brian Kennedy interview I have ever heard. Keep up the great work! You have a very soothing voice as well & know how to ask the right questions. Very good. I wonder what you think of George Church. His ideas I've realized are a little out there, but he is another that believes with some gene edits we can reverse aging. Yet I've never really heard a scientist give him an interview. Would be interested to know what you think of his work & if it is within the overall aging research community.
Thank you Matthew! Haha, happy to hear I have a soothing voice :) Yeah, his ideas are definitely a bit out there. I haven't dived into his work deeply but from what I understand he thinks controlling the damage through various means might be harder than using gene editing to reverse aging. It's an interesting concept and I'm sure some of aging could be reversed that way (maybe a lot of it if you think of centenarian genes) but I'd have to read more into his work to comment. I'd say that yeah he is considered part of the aging research community and it could in fact be interesting to have him on the podcast if it works out!
Great question! I tried to look but didn't find any research related to it. Are you familiar with the Dog Aging Project? They are testing rapamycin in dogs. My podcast with Matt Kaeberlein discusses it!
This has become one of my favorite podcasts. Aashta is so knowledgeable and asks great questions. She gets more out of distinguished guests than most podcasts in this space. There are only a handful of top quality podcasts in health and longevity that get to this level of information, specificity and detail. It's impressive what she has created in such a short time!
Thanks Aashta for this interview! I have listened to many on this topic before and you are by far the best interviewer I’ve heard! Great questions (many that I really have waited for someone to ask.) Knowledgeable, super nice, genuinely curious. (And not just me, me, me like many other interviewers.) Thanks!
Your youthful and young and pretty but all the people you interview have aged like every other human being so I think we have at least another 20 yrs to go to see results.
