So I go around the world talking to a lot of scientists. I'm in touch with world leaders in science and in nutrition, and I know what's not known. I know what will surprise them. So my job and my team's job is to not to come up with something that's obvious or just some little brick in the wall. It's to publish something that people say, are you kidding me?

How is that possible?

All right, welcome back or welcome to the Finding Mastery podcast. I'm Michael Gervais, and by Trade and Training, a sport and performance psychologist, as well as the co-founder of Compete to Create. The whole idea behind these conversations, behind this podcast, is to learn from the extraordinaries, to understand how they organize their inner life, how they execute in consequential environments, and to also dig to understand the mental skills that they've used to build and refine their understanding of what's possible, as well as their craft.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Neurohacker. There's a good chance that you're interested in aging well. And if that's the case for you, it's really important to understand a bit of the science behind aging. You might have heard about senescent cells, often referred to as zombie cells. These are old, worn out cells that linger in your body, consuming energy and nutrients without contributing to your health. So as you age, these cells accumulate. Leading to common aging symptoms like decreased mental and physical energy, slower recovery from workouts, joint discomfort, less flexibility and so on. So enter Qualia Sinolytic by Neurohacker, a science-backed formula that is designed to help your body naturally eliminate these zombie cells. This formula includes a game-changing combination of ingredients that are aimed at extending your prime years. And they've made it really simple. You just take the product two days a month. That's it. It's like a monthly cleanse for your cells.

Finding Mastery is brought to you by Facet. When we think about what it takes to thrive and to live a life of flourishing, there's no doubt that financial wellness is a big part of that equation.

There's lots of ways to manage your money. And here's one that you might be interested in.

So Facet provides you with flexible access to a team of financial planners and a team of experts across retirement planning, tax strategy, estate planning, and more.

Now, this week's conversation is with Dr. David Sinclair. And he's a professor of the Department of Genetics and the co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology and Aging at Harvard Medical School. And where he and his colleagues basically are studying longevity, aging and how to slow its effects.

David is also the co-creator and co-chief editor of the journal Aging. And he's also co-founded several biotechnology companies and is an inventor in 35 patents. Okay, so what does all that mean? David is at ground zero. He's a tier one thinker about aging and how to slow it down and the biological effects of it. And he's deep in it. It's not just opining about aging. He's really in the weeds of the research. And I mean, mentioned some of his awards is that he's received and is included in Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world as well as Time's top 50 in healthcare. And in addition, he's also an author of a new book, Lifespan, the revolutionary science of why we age and why we don't have to.
