Why we can’t live to 150-years-old 

Increase the quality of our lives. You want a sharp decline to death at the end. Unhealthy people deteriorate over decades. F that.

Without my sight and hearing I don’t wish to live. That’s the reality for a lot of our loved ones. Put your resources into prolonging our senses as well.

Bryan Johnson is like, hold my beer

I’d rather live a healthy, mobile, active life into my late 70s, early 80s then be concerned about recent medical advances carrying me past 100 with who knows what constantly degrading. I’ve had relatives live to up to 96 that I’ve seen and the last decade of their life was miserable.

The term “Live your best life” is how we should approach every day. Choosing to make small changes that benefit us to some degree and not worry so much about the unforeseen, as we can’t at this point control that aspect of aging.

We can do much more than fear diseases of age". We can improve our nutrition and lifestyle to be well into our 90ties.

People die in very old age because the years have psychologically beaten them down. Outliving their spouse, friends, even their children, they are ready to die. There must remain a will to live in order to remain alive.

Be on the Jack LaLanne plan, vigorously healthy until 97, get pneumonia and pfft....gone. Best outcome you could really ask for. Great insight here, lots of longevity BS being floated while there's no real way around entropy and biological senescence except taking care of yourself for the long term.

I think the thought and steps we take today in terms of diet and staying healthy really matters and will push humankind to rapidly search for alternative ways to live longer

It’s best and indeed valuable to take care of our bodies (we only get one) however….. In the grand scheme of things, this life is a vapor!! We need to wake up and surrender our hearts to the Lord! ”Seventy years are given to us! Some even live to eighty. But even the best years are filled with pain and trouble; soon they disappear, and we fly away. Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. Teach us to realize the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom.“ ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭90‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

When Peter makes it to 148, he will ask " why can't humans live to 200"

My claim a while back was that 1% of people optimizing to live to 150 will live to 100. First and very brutal part of the equation is that of all centenarians, only 15% are male. And almost all people trying to reverse their aging are also male.

A few short decades ago life expectancy was low to mid 60's in most developed countries. Due to medical improvements and some other points it's now mid 80's, and all while 90% - 95% of people are living a sedentary lifestyle and consuming copious amounts of sugars, carbs, processed foods, and alcohol. Just by changing our diets and exercising 20 mins per day we could live well into our 100's, so it doesn't seem unfeasible that with advances in knowledge on how and why we age that we can't add a few more years to that.

He hasn't met Bryan Johnson

He's talking to you David Sinclair

I believe u can do a vlogging series of visiting the places in the world where life expectancy is quite high to get more notes abt their native lives and practices

Love your work Peter, but I'm gonna prove this statement wrong, see you in 80 years when I'm tipping 120 lol

Father Time is undefeated.

Oh yeah diseases happen quite regularly now I completely agree. However tony robbins discusses in his book life force about reversing disease through stem cell regeneration I believe from what I heard from jays and tony robbins podcast. I’m getting the book after hearing that hopefully it comes to me because that’s such an important topic to explore further as well.

Of course we can control how rapidly we age. Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it can't be done

"Human opinion is entertaining" -- Bryan Johnson

They young may apply what we are learning and fare better and achieve advanced age. REMAINING HOPEFUL.

The debate of our age would be Attia v David Sinclair.

Over the 20th century we increased thw world average lifespan around 20 years, and yes that was done through very obvious things like, improving child mortality, sanitation, access to clean water and the use of antibiotics. The next jump in age is probably going to be less obvious and will probably come in variety of therapies that will have questionable value until significant time has past to prove their worth. You likely won't see increases in the lifespan of large populations in a similar linear fashion to the previous. All that to say, that I think Peter is right to be skeptical, and yet I also believe there will be successes born out of that skepticism and once definitive protocols are established then you will see large populations increase in age. 120 seems bonkers now, but when you start seeing very healthy 100 year olds, it won't seem so crazy

great!

I’m pretty sure at some point we will be able to prolong life extensively, just not there yet.

This reality is depressing. Life is good, but it goes fast. And i don’t want it to end. Especially as I have a daughter. Don’t want to have to say goodbye to her

Checkmate, Bryan Johnson 😈

I'd rather live a very healthy life until 60 than live unhealthily until 80

Who wants to live when everyone you care about it dead.... everybody ain't trying to hang out that long...

Even if we don’t have the tools to meaningfully increase our lifespan. DO think we have the tools to improve our quality and enjoyableness of life

I’m interested in quality over quantity. I regularly exercise. I avoid alcohol. Those are given. But I like weed.

I think this could be easily solved if there was a technology that could replicate the cellular structure of bristlecone Pines. There are cellular structure is anti-fragile and allows them to benefit from volatile environmental conditions. I think technology has allowed us to advance, however it also made us comfortable and more fragile to volatile conditions. If this can be solved, then people technically could live as long as they want to live.

Yes 👏 Peter, you are RIGHT!

I agree with you, we need technologies that allows realtime cells monitor, gene editing. Unfortunately all of that is still sci-fi.

How do you explain some of these people? I saw a video yesterday that popped up on my phone of Demi Moore. She looked barely thirty, but she's over sixty. How does she look that beautiful?

I believe this sounds practical and I certainly wouldn't be able to debate Peter on his points. I also believe that the technological advances we will see in medicine, robotics, ML/AI, etc., by the year 2050, are going to seem like magic to us today. I don't think Peter can accurately predict the advances we will see between 2040 - 2050. I hope he's wrong, and I'm living to give myself the best chance to see my 150th birthday, but I fully accept I'll probably die by 100.

Oh, its working well, Im over 200yo. But I calculate in mercury years. ;)

The second law of thermodynamics, entropy. Everything degrades.

I suspect we need to get our lifestyles, environments and societies right before biohacking can make a significant difference.

He seems to be confusing anti aging and reverse aging, and their associated implications. If we can slow down aging you can live longer. If you can reverse it you could live forever.

AI will fix it

The Hayflick Limit...

I still hope our brain and spinal cord can somehow be preserved, so we can LIVE FOREVER!

Underlying aspects of the aging of biology? Biology doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. In fact, if you had just stopped after you said the word _aging_ that would have been enough. Or even, ... the underlying aspects of the biology of aging. That would have been fine too.

Our age limit was by design, nobody makes it past 120 and thats the extreme end.

The Japanese found the age DNA and will be out in the next year. Yes we will go to 120 to 150, we will adjust.

The Bible says the days of our life are 70 and if by reason of strength by 80 and it also says that the life expectancy of man is up to 120 so we kind of see that 120 seems to be the limit and I think that God is the final arbiter

I can't imagine wanting to live to 150 in this culture.

Brian Johnson catching strays

Did dr. peter take the mRNA vax?

So you do not agree with Dr Sinclair?

Aubrey de Grey would beg to differ!

Gravity aint going nowhere.

Who would want to live that long? I’d be fine with 90 as long as I have quality of life 🎉

I would just be happy with better health to 80.

Gen. 6:3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Eternal life only comes through trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ.

It's why I can't take guys like Bryan Johnson seriously. It's also the narcissism of it. Like, you really think *you're* important enough to live until you're 150? Like you'd better have some Leonardo DaVinci level accomplishments behind you if you're gonna imply that.

👍

debunk gary brecka please haha (if you haven't already)

Peter is playing his role as the put on the brakes, pessimism, is safety for physicians. They can never get caught with their pants down believing something that's silly. It's like hell for top of your class, physician types. They hate being wrong more than anyone else I know. Peter has drifted into lifestyle, prevention, and wellness, and he's already y on thin ice. There's only minor deviation that his community will accept, can't go the Oz route. His role is not the optimists role. If all the innovators took his conservative approach in aging, we'd still find the cures and the aging treatments, but it would have been delayed by 30 years by the black hole paradigm, and even the slight drifters like Peter. He can't imagine what's coming in the next 20 years.

Why would anyone wanna live that long?

I don't want to live that long while the world is imploding around me!

Ok

Glad to see Mr. Attia is finally accepting the simple truth of mortality.

If different dimensions, quantum physics , and nuerolink is possible then idk big dawg

The condemnation of the death sentence on our first parents due to their rebellion against the Creator, can never be overcome. The Bible state man can live only into their 70s and 80s if they are especially mighty. Very few live into late 90s and early 100. What the Creator has decreed cannot be changed. Romans 5:12. Through one man (Adam) sinned entered into the world, and thus death spread to all men vecause they had all sinned. Adam could only pass on sin and death to his offspring The good news is for obedient ones, the last enemy death will be done away with.1 Corinthians 15:26. Revelation 21;3-4 Psalms 37;10-11, 29.

Fresh air nutrients decent sleep freedom from war famine financial hardship for the nessesities. To get people past the age of 60 without being debilitated by those things would do fine.

Genesis 6:3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.”

And then one night a car comes out of the darkness and it's all over in an instant. The end.

>provides no evidence, only opinion. Okay.

You refer to the human as if a mechanical device with wear and tear after many years then breakdown. Go to the Orient to hear even young people tell you what life is, the objective and how to achieve it. As if you are not making enough money already; instead you are on RU-vid trying to make more by talking about this you only know very little about: life.

The Bible states God has limited humans to 120 years.

He sounds smart but he does not sound like a longevity scientist.

Because God said so. Don't you see how people would live to 900 hundred in the bible? God limited our age and we die because of sin. The wages of sin is DEATH (this is why we die) but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE. not on this earth but in heaven.

Imagine another 50 years but this time youre old as shit

They have already reversed aging in mice, so it's just a matter of time before they can do it in humans. I respect Peter's opinion, but he doesn't work in that field or with the people who are doing that work.

Bad people are making bad food. Don't treat your body like a garbage disposal.

That's just vanity....

If the arteries stay unclogged won't the organs still shut down from old age as usual?

Peter Attia - is not paying attention or is in denial. And he’s just a doctor. And I do mean just. Every doctor I’ve met recently are basically high end clerks. They look for outwardly expressed data patterns and make guesses as to what prescribe across limited molecules approved through regulatory organizations. They don’t understand, or are even unaware, of biology even when it comes to humans. Asking a doctor about biology is like asking a doctor about how to engineer a car. They might have some general, superficial awareness of how to use a car and when to put oil in it so it responds with better performance. In contrast, an auto mechanical engineer understands how the car works much more deeply - in terms of materials, systems, the chemical aspects, et. The same is true of doctor’s understanding of the human body - they don’t understand the chemical, electrical aspects, or how the systems interact with the chemicals, electricity, across the integrated human systems. Doctors, along with big pharma, and the politicians supported by big pharma, are going to be the biggest hurdles of driving human physiology forward. Doctors will be resistant because of their mental models, and big pharma and politicians will be resistant due to the financial / economic impacts these discoveries will have on them.

Peter Attia is a pioneer in advancing our understanding. Biological and actual age are intertwined. A measurement of time is age biological is the functional capacity of our bodies, each have different process pathways due to diet, environment, stress management or mismanagement. However ageing reduces activity and amount of neurons. Also physical properties in nature wear down becoming redundant. DNA with age may also .🤔 So eat well exercise 💪 and lower your stress responses..

God tells us there is a day assigned for man to die. And then the judgement. The second death. Unless one understands their need for a saviour when standing before God. No man is good no not one. Your good works will not save you. Your religious activity will not save you. Only understanding who Jesus Christ is. Y

Hey thrz a billionaire with a lisp that thinks he has bio hacked it. He name is Bryansssss johnssonsss

I bet you 120

🥩

Longevity is overrated. Once quality has degraded to a certain point without hope to improve its just a waste of resources for next generations.

I love this guy....I'm with this guy....if you have to pick a Physician....this is your guy

It's wild how much attia talks about longevity but still eats carbs and plants.

this dr. needs to study quantum physics-he is trapped in a newtonian world

You live healthy but your eyelids already drooped!

I think it goes wothout saying, were not living to 150. Biohackers are a strange community

Holy shit Bob Odenkirk is good. I gotta try whatever he’s on.

Of course we have no evidence. They started trying to do this 20 years ago. So, it's premature to have evidence, but it doesn't mean some people is not already in the right path to do it, so that in 60 years we will have the evidence of people being 110, and still young.

I thought Green tea, Vit D, Omega 3, sulforaphane, saunas, cold baths, extended fasting, weight lifting, and cardio were going to help me live forever. You just shattered my hopes and dreams

Scientists would have to genetically modify a fetus or embryo not to have a biological clock in order to stop aging past a certain age

I believe mainly is mental when you hit 60 and still exercising but in my change after 70 the way we exercise and do all the things that we buy a hack my stop. Work on the mentality and spiritual and you will live as long

There's plenty of evidence. People have been "improving their biomarkers" since forever, and we're finding new ones and new ways to improve them all the time.

As if the average age has increase as a result of medical advancement, would you call that "biohacking". No one is going to live till 180 overnight. It's will take a very long time to figure out. Very long. The reason people biohack is for quality of life, not such a large drop off in quality of life as you age. The more I hear this guy talk, the more I think this guy needs to be quiet. Absolute joke.

Lol. Not naming names or anything, Bryan 😂
