#11 - Dr. Brian Kennedy | Aging Networks & Biomarkers, AKG, Spermidine and Longevity of Bats
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- My guest today is Dr. Brian Kennedy who is the Director for the Center of Healthy Aging at the National University of Singapore. He is also the former President and CEO of the Buck Institute of Research on Aging. Dr. Kennedy is well-known in the field of longevity & beyond and has been involved in critical aging research.
Dr. Kennedy's lab is working on different small molecules and natural products that could boost longevity. In today's discussion, we spoke about the network concept of the hallmarks of aging, the longevity effects of natural products like Alpha-Ketoglutarate (AKG), Spermidine and Urolithin A, and why combining some of these supplements might not be prudent. We also spoke about comparing the different biomarkers of aging, what we can learn from the longevity of bats, and why basic science is important.

Brian is my kind of scientist, he is cool! Her podcast is needed as I am 76 and want to keep on trucking. Thanks Aashta.
This has become one of my favorite podcasts. Aashta is so knowledgeable and asks great questions. She gets more out of distinguished guests than most podcasts in this space. There are only a handful of top quality podcasts in health and longevity that get to this level of information, specificity and detail. It's impressive what she has created in such a short time!
Thank you so much for this message and very glad to hear! :)
This was the best Brian Kennedy interview I have ever heard. Keep up the great work! You have a very soothing voice as well & know how to ask the right questions. Very good.
I wonder what you think of George Church. His ideas I've realized are a little out there, but he is another that believes with some gene edits we can reverse aging. Yet I've never really heard a scientist give him an interview. Would be interested to know what you think of his work & if it is within the overall aging research community.
Thank you Matthew! Haha, happy to hear I have a soothing voice :)
Yeah, his ideas are definitely a bit out there. I haven't dived into his work deeply but from what I understand he thinks controlling the damage through various means might be harder than using gene editing to reverse aging. It's an interesting concept and I'm sure some of aging could be reversed that way (maybe a lot of it if you think of centenarian genes) but I'd have to read more into his work to comment. I'd say that yeah he is considered part of the aging research community and it could in fact be interesting to have him on the podcast if it works out!
👏👏 Great interview
Thanks for the preparation which goes into your interviews and the quality of your quests.
Much appreciated Peter!!
Thank you very much for the great interview! Really extremely good questions and thereby also many new answers 🙏🖖
Thank you Sebastian! :)
Wonderful life giving sciences discussed. Thank you for this podcast and your efforts…
Thanks Aashta for this interview! I have listened to many on this topic before and you are by far the best interviewer I’ve heard! Great questions (many that I really have waited for someone to ask.) Knowledgeable, super nice, genuinely curious. (And not just me, me, me like many other interviewers.) Thanks!
Thank you so much Malin, very nice words! :) and glad you enjoyed it!
Great podcast. Cant believe you dont have more followers! Love the content
Thank you Shery! Hopefully, in time!
I would like to be the distributor of AKG in the Philippines please need your help on contacting the sellers
Wondering if there is any research on dogs taking akg for longevity. Was wanting to try some on my aging dog.
Great question! I tried to look but didn't find any research related to it. Are you familiar with the Dog Aging Project? They are testing rapamycin in dogs. My podcast with Matt Kaeberlein discusses it!
Your youthful and young and pretty but all the people you interview have aged like every other human being so I think we have at least another 20 yrs to go to see results.
But above all that you have a beautiful soul, keep being you.
