Ever wonder why some 90-year olds don’t seem to slow down and seem. to retain the mental and physical capacity of someone half their age?
Do they have good genes? Or is there a way that all of us can get older without getting old?
That’s what Dr. Nir Barzilai, founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, set out to answer in his book, Age Later. And now, he joins us for a live discussion and Q+A!
Whether you’ve read Age Later or not, you won’t want to miss this. Because by the end of the discussion, you’ll know how to turn back the clock on aging.
