I came across David Sinclair and his research into reverse aging. Especially, I came across this video by Veritasium with Sinclair. Apparently his team has managed to reverse aging in mice in a lab? Has this been peer reviewed?
I personally want to believe Sinclair, but he just… seems snake oil salesman-ey for some reason. For one, the channels that he seems to come on are the same channels that host manosphere/pseudoscience/conspiracy related guests. Secondly, he talks a lot of shit about his fellow scientists and just seems a little egoistic? I dunno…
Also, the recommendations that he seems to give (like reducing protein intake) to slow aging just seem to be against conventional wisdom? Also, for the drugs that he recommends taking, wouldn’t the FDA approve them if they actually worked? I dunno. This isn’t how a man of science behaves, right?
Anyway, aside from Sinclair, how far have we gotten in the reverse aging/stopping aging or whatever science? Should we hope to get drugs/treatment to cure this in the next 10/30/50 years?

To solve reverse aging, we first need to understand how to stop it first.
@UraniumBlazer
To stop it, the net #cellular #growth has to be flatlined. i.e, #degeneration = #regeneration .
For that, I believe #oxygen intake is the key. It’s like #tumor cells, the lesser you provide oxygen, the more it grows. Same goes to a lot of other #cancer cells.
Yeah, the antioxidant thing was debunked decades ago. It was the leading hypothesis like pre 2000 from what I know.
