The Longevity Effects of Hormesis | Dr David Sinclair & Dr Andrew Huberman Clips

According to Dr David Sinclair’s book Lifespan, there are certain kind of pulsed stress, not chronic stress, that will activate the longevity genes without damaging the cell, including exercise, intermittent fasting and exposure to hot & cold temperatures. These are called hormesis. Hormesis is generally good for an organism, especially when it can be induced without causing lasting damage. When hormesis happens, all is well. The little bit of stress that occurs prompts the rest of the system to hunker down, to conserve, to survive a little longer. That’s the start of longevity.

David Sinclair is a professor in the Department of Genetics and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging at Harvard Medical School, where he and his colleagues study sirtuins—protein-modifying enzymes that respond to changing NAD+ levels and to caloric restriction—as well as chromatin, energy metabolism, mitochondria, learning and memory, neurodegeneration, cancer, and cellular reprogramming.

Dr David Sinclair has suggested that aging is a disease—and that we may soon have the tools to put it into remission—and he has called for greater international attention to the social, economic and political and benefits of a world in which billions of people can live much longer and much healthier lives.

Dr David Sinclair is the co-founder of several biotechnology companies (Life Biosciences, Sirtris, Genocea, Cohbar, MetroBiotech, ArcBio, Liberty Biosecurity) and is on the boards of several others.
He is also co-founder and co-chief editor of the journal Aging. He is an inventor on 35 patents and has received more than 35 awards and honors. In 2014, he was on Time Magazine’s list of the “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and listed as Time's Top 50 in healthcare in 2018.
