Should we take aspirin every day? What do we need to know about
cholesterol and statins? What level of cholesterol is healthy?
What is epigenetics? What is the effect of stress on our
epigenetics? What is the effect of stress on our microbiome? How
did therapeutic plasma exchange make mice younger and how is this
technology being used for humans?

Cleveland Clinic, award-winning author, and founder of RealAge.

how stress impacts our health, what numbers we should aim for for
cholesterol, therapeutic plasma exchange, and more. 


“Stress, it turns out, turns on genes that make proteins that
cause inflammation. Moderating stress — that is, happiness —
turns off those same genes and turns on genes that make
anti-inflammatory proteins — proteins that decrease
inflammation.” 


“The most important things are posse and purpose: having 6
friends you’re vulnerable to every month, having a purpose in
life, and a job with latitude.” 


“When you exercise, you change the genes that are on in your
microbiome. When you’re stressed, you change which genes are on
in your microbiome.” 


“I still think you should shoot for cholesterol less than 70 in
your blood.” 


“The most important things you do for brain health are posse and
purpose, that’s one. The second one is to add speed to your
exercise, that is to stress your muscle; and the third is to add
speed to your brain games.”
