BOOK SUMMARY: Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don't Have to — David Sinclair

In this book summary, I’m explaining the key ideas of David Sinclair's book: "Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have to".

In more detail, we're discussing the following topics:

1. Why do we age? (0:35 - 2:14)
2. What can we do to slow down the aging process and reverse it? (2:15 - 7:35)
2.1. Eat less (3:04 - 4:12)
2.2. Exercise more (4:13 - 4:50)
2.3. Expose yourself to extreme temperatures (4:51 - 6:19)
2.4. Supplement yourself (6:20 - 7:35)

Here is also a blueprint for how a day in the author's life looks like:

- David takes 1 gram (1,000 mg) of NMN every morning, along with 1 gram of resveratrol and 1 gram of metformin
- David takes a daily dose of vitamin D, vitamin K2, and 83 mg of aspirin
- David strives to keep his sugar, bread, and pasta intake as low as possible. He eats a lot of plants and tries to avoid eating other mammals.
- David tries to skip one meal a day or at least make it really small.
- David tries to take a lot of steps each day.
- David doesn't smoke. He tries to avoid microwaved plastic, excessive UV exposure, X-rays and CT-scans.
- David tries to stay on the cool side during the day and when he sleeps.
- David aims to keep his body weight or BMI in the optimal range for health span, which is 23 to 25 for him.

Cheers,
Anthony

Thank you sir for this great summary, book has about 450 pages so this is really nice work to help us all to get the most important informations from the book ! God bless you !

Thanks for the great work summarizing the book. One point of clarification is that supplementing directly with oral NAD is not recommended since NAD is not absorbed (due to the size of the molecule and other factors). Rather, Sinclair (and others) supplement with a NAD precursor such as NMN or NR. These are converted by the body into NAD+, which increases mitochondrial energy, thereby reducing the rate of aging (or so it is claimed).
