**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
What's happening, people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Dr. David Sinclair. He's a professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School and co-director of the Paul Glenn Centre for the biological Mechanisms of Ageing. The longevity movement is huge right now. People all over the globe are trying to discover how to live longer and slow down aging. It's been two years since Dr. Sinclair was last on the show, so I figured it was time to invite him back and find out what he's been getting up to. Expect to learn why having a dog can make you live longer, how fasting can slow down aging, what the longevity research says about loneliness, what Dr. Sinclair's new supplement regime looks like, whether he's worried about 5G phones or Bluetooth headphones and much more. The first time I ever met Dr. Sinclair a couple of years ago in his office at Harvard Medical School, he let me use his Australian knighthood to rest one of the cameras up against, which tells you everything that you need to know about him. It's casual genius, I guess, like really brilliant, but doesn't really make a big song and dance about it. He's just finished up doing Rogan and Lex Friedman and Whitney Cummings show, and I love him. Every single time I get to speak to him, I'm super impressed by all the work that he's doing.
