Episode 48: Decoding Aging: Science, Healthspan, and the Future of Longevity with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein

Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine

A conversation with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein unveils the latest insights into aging, focusing on how studying dogs can illuminate human longevity. The discussion emphasizes the significant role of environmental factors in aging and the potential of interventions like rapamycin.
Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, is a world-renowned scientist and leader in the field of aging biology. He is a professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, with additional roles in Genome Sciences and Oral Health Sciences. Dr. Kaeberlein’s groundbreaking work is dedicated to unraveling the biological mechanisms of aging, paving the way for innovations that enhance healthspan and quality of life—not just for humans but also for our four-legged companions.

Dr. Kaeberlein is the founding director of the University of Washington’s Healthy Aging and Longevity Research Institute and the director of the NIH Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging. Additionally, he leads the Biological Mechanisms of Healthy Aging Training Program and co-founded the Dog Aging Project, which explores how we can use scientific insights to improve the health and longevity of dogs and, by extension, humans.

Throughout his career, Dr. Kaeberlein has delved into cutting-edge research on interventions like rapamycin, NAD+ precursors, metformin, spermidine, and many others, driving conversations at the forefront of aging science.

Today we speak about:
• Understanding the role of companion animals in aging research
• The Dog Aging Project's approach to studying environmental influences
• The impact of chronic inflammation on healthspan
• Importance of lifestyle changes for longevity
• Challenges in funding for aging research
• Future possibilities with AI and epigenetic studies in the field
• Dr. Kaeberlein’s personal experience with rapamycin and its implications for aging
