Detailed show notes here: peterottsjo.beehiiv.com Longevity escape velocity, zombie cells, senolytica, mTOR, rapamycin and Yamanaka factors, whether these are familiar concepts or they are new to you, Peter Ottsjö, who is an author and a science and technology reporter at Ny Teknik and oo-host of this podcast, has written a book that explains them and connects them to a project that might be the greatest revolution in the history of humanity, the longevity revolution. Not content with learning about the theory of longevity, Peter has also put what he has learnt into action. His goal is to live beyond 120 years, or, more precisely, his goal is to stay young forever, as is also the title of his book, Evigt ung in Swedish; Forever Young in English. In this episode we will hear from Peter how he plans to accomplish this goal. This interview will take us from the history of ideas of longevity to the latest science and thereby provide a great base and overview of the topic. Peter has a great gift of explaining science and technology in a clear and vivid, and even fun way. https://volanteshop.com/bok/evigt-ung/ 0:00 LEVITY Episode 2 - Peter Ottsjö: Let's stay young forever! 0:45 Why do you want to be young forever? 7:05 The history of prolongevity 13:40 How Peter changed his life from obese to fit 15:12 Why do humans live longer than dogs? 17:32 Immortal animals? 19:50 Why do some people live longer than others? 24:24 Know thyself (check yourself before you wreck yourself) 34:00 Preventative health care vs sick care 38:00 What is aging? 42:10 The Hallmarks of Aging 52:48 Medicine against aging 57:15 Reprogram genes 1:01:40 Senolytica 1:04:57 Replace the old body 1:07:00 Optimism? 1:09:30 The Ottsjö Protocol
