Lessons from centenarians: why prevention of chronic disease is critical
“To me, the takeaway for us, as physicians or people who want to have an extra five years of life or 10 years of life… is nothing matters more than prevention of chronic disease. And by the way, you don’t get to prevent it once you have your heart attack. Secondary prevention is not prevention.” – Peter Attia, M.D.

#171 – Steve Austad, Ph.D.: The landscape of longevity science: making sense of caloric restriction, biomarkers of aging, and possible geroprotective molecules
“I never thought [extending the human lifespan] was going to happen because we got better at treating cancer or we got better at preventing heart disease. I always thought it was going to happen because we would develop something … that would fundamentally change the rate of aging. And we haven’t developed that yet. We’ve got a lot of clues and I think we’re getting closer and closer and closer.” —Steve Austad
