The Science of Staying Young - Dr. Andrew Steele on Reversing Aging and Future Anti-Aging Treatments

Angela is joined by special guest, Dr. Andrew Steele to discuss the topic of aging and longevity. Dr. Steele shares insights on the biology of aging, potential advancements in anti-aging treatments, and the importance of funding aging biology research.

They also delve into various aspects of aging, including the ten hallmarks of aging, the role of mitochondria, and the impact of telomere length. Dr. Steele touches on the differences in aging between men and women, highlighting the unique evolutionary aspects of menopause and mitochondrial inheritance

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Dr. Steele discusses the importance of evidence-based research when it comes to supplements and aging.
• Should aging be seen as a disease of some kind, with considerations for regulatory advantages and perspective shifts?
• The 10 hallmarks of aging include DNA damage, telomere shortening, protein dysfunction, mitochondrial issues, and immune system changes.
• Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, play a crucial role in energy production and aging processes.
• Evolutionary theories, such as the grandmother hypothesis, shed light on menopause and longevity differences between genders.

BEST MOMENTS

"The best piece of health advice is to campaign for more funding for aging biology research."

"We've got ideas for how to slow down the aging process, how maybe even to reverse it."

"The risk of death doubles about every eight years. This is a phenomenally universal fact of being human."

"Mitochondria are the only part of your cell that have their own DNA."

ABOUT THE GUEST

DR ANDREW STEELE

I am a scientist, writer and campaigner based in Berlin, and author of Ageless: The new science of getting older without getting old. After a PhD in physics from the University of Oxford, I decided that ageing was the single most important scientific challenge of our time, and switched fields to computational biology. I worked at the Francis Crick Institute, using machine learning to decode our DNA and predict heart attacks using patients’ NHS medical records.

I’m now a full-time science writer and presenter. I’ve written for the Wall Street Journal, Sunday Times, Telegraph, Guardian and WIRED magazine, and have featured on NBC’s TODAY, The Russell Howard Hour, Sunday Brunch, NBC Morning News Now and BBC News, as well as being a regular expert on Discovery’s Impossible Engineering and Strangest Things on Sky. I also produce videos on my YouTube channel, and give live talks ranging from lectures in schools to science stand-up (yes, that is a thing) at the Hammersmith Apollo. I’ve also campaigned about science funding as Chair of Science is Vital and creator of Scienceogram.
