A YouTube interview discussing longevity, the relative impact of genetics versus lifestyle on healthspan, and the role of technologies (like AI) and interventions in optimizing longevity. Early dialogue contrasts genetic determinism with lifestyle factors as drivers of lifespan.
Longevity doesn't really have that.
Much or.
Not as much as we may have thought that it had with your genes.
One study that was done on a huge population data set showed that there was the contribution of your genetics to your life expectancy was only 7% that the remaining 93% was a function of your lifestyle the fact of the matter is even if it's if it's 30% the notion is what you do every day what you eat how much sleep you get how much exercise you get your mindset all of these elements which are lifestyle elements how long you'll live at the end of the day One of the biggest issues with sleep is undiagnosed sleep apnea it's you think you got a good night's sleep but do you really know how do I make you 100 years old and you 50 that's ultimately the goal I think that is within reach I think human health span is going to be one of the greatest payouts that comes from AI.
