Many people dread the thought of getting old. Perhaps it’s because having more km on the odometer means their youth is fading.  Perhaps it has nothing to do with the idea of quote ‘getting old’ but maybe it’s because they fear - or dread - the seemingly inevitable age-related diseases that come with added years. Amazingly, there are several species of plants and animals that seem to defy aging as we know it – this of course begs the question, ‘do we have to age?’In this podcast, I’ll review what researchers actually mean when they refer to aging and clarify what so called anti-aging and longevity research is all about because there’s a lot of confusion on this topic and because of this confusion, the idea of influencing the rate of aging, or the quality of aging is dismissed and ridiculed as is anyone who talks about this topic.
