ah, ah ah, arsie asia and arctic lovers guided by vibrating asian cities, 5 the local artists in the unique experience of their craft, joined us for exclusive master classes with burnt c asia starts to 1st on d w. ah, i'm, you can that i want that tags and in the end the, some me, you are not allowed to see you anymore. we will send you back. are you familiar
12:03 am
with this reliance? i mean, what's your story. ready he wasn't, i was women, especially victims of vine and seen a lot of them take part and send us your story. we are trying always to understand this new culture. so you are not a visitor now the guests. you want to become a citizen. in phil migrants, your platform for reliable information ah, what is aging? is it possible for us to affect it? how much more can we do? these are big questions. they're going to take us to answers that are going to be
12:04 am
illuminating to mankind as a whole. agent has become a hot topic. we are right now at the point where we can already develop strategies with injections, simulation stimulation methods, personal programs, pills off. we're in the midst of a seismic shift that will open up possibilities for more healthy agent and it's up to with a, something in the air and we can feed it. and plenty of people who already show you gold nuggets and on say they ask goal it here. you know right now where it seeing a huge gold rush. once the proof of concept is established on longevity, it will go viral with was you them and they let their son the person will live to 150. it's probably already been born to die. it's highly likely it is. this is with
12:05 am
12:06 am
got about earlier, we got burly just because this is important for my house to do this. so i do it. that's really going to be consistent in your sleep schedule. it's easy for me to be consistent with waking up 5, the sort of some nice, quiet time and yeah, i mean it's, it's, it's, so i do, it's that i'd have consistency because that's really important. think future cain or them nina care. i 1st became interested in longevity research when she was 12. now the teenager is one of the scenes rising stars. nina stands for a generation that takes a new view of aging that wants to see aging eradicated when
12:07 am
she's not in school. nino holds talks around the world. she's launched a small start up with a couple of friends. the group searches for scientific clues on how to crack the aging code. yeah. yeah. one of our proteins is probably involved in that process in some way, so we could weigh how much that protein is involved in that process and try to give an estimate even if we're not adding a whole new protein involved with that process. yeah, i think that definitely something that we could that's useful to measure my grandfather did have a form in my check that was not a problem and i wanted seasoning with that one in 6 women and get dementia after the $265.00. and i'm one in 10 man which is a lot of people when you think about it, right? it's these diseases that you previously thought were inevitable. so we thought maybe we'd have drugs to alleviate the pain or to sub one particular type of
12:08 am
disease from occurring. but never sort of to, you know, look at the root cause of these diseases and haggard from there. each animal species has inserted race, an expiration date in a mouse. it's less than 5 years in the bo had whale. it's 211 years in humans. it's a $120.00 to each species has a time that's kind of allocated to it. and the question is, why is that in nature? death is a normal part of life. but can we humans push this biological age limit? human life expectancy has risen steadily and recent history back in ancient rome. it was to 25 years by the middle ages. it was still only $35.00. now we live in to our seventy's on average medical advances and better living conditions
12:09 am
are enabling us to get older and older. but can we extend our lifespan indefinitely? and would we really want to as even believe converge vision to the lots of people want to live forever? and then they wonder if we can reverse or slow down the aging process of an uncommon in existence tells us so much about violence which steph and dying, but it also touches on reincarnation and live live. it's a hugely popular fema niga. immortality is a topic that will never die, is stablish. in germany, there is a famous painting the fountain of youth,
12:10 am
and on the painting you see all the old men and women, particularly taking their clothes off and getting into the fountain of youth and swimming across to the other side and emerging young and healthy on the other side and then going off to the tents and dressing and then having a wonderful dinner together with plenty of wine. ah, and it's, it's man's age all dreamed to be able to reverse aging you. those room wouldn't hit this fountain of youth is become an allegory in biomedical research, and that's no longer just about eating a healthy diet and leading a balanced lifestyle. and we want to make more serious adjustments if you and we can take pills or get injections and so on. and what end up living longer when you come into the idea, the fountain of youth that's outside made. i'm end of that. i can jump into the jewish shifted to a fountain that's put inside. many young one injected into my anger, black eyes and the pastors we're closer to finding the fountain of youth than ever before. but what if aging were kind of
12:11 am
program a program we could hack into an initial clue as to how humans might be reprogrammed, leads to an unassuming setting in central america. ah, i've lived in costa rica since 1972 and just completely fell in love with costa rica and then to love. natoya is a place where people age very well and long. i think about it all the time. i think about it all the time because it's really mysterious and
12:12 am
they themselves can not give you any clue as to why you asked them. and they said, i have no idea. it just is what it is. but yet we are more curious and we want to know more honor gail glenn takes care of some of the regions, centenarians, the residence of costa rica, nick jolla peninsula, not only live longer, but stay healthy for longer to always die. ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha! don't get an oil navy. the koto is 90. 1 people here often live to be over 90. many thing to over a 100 dana florida. ask if i can go, are you there? these are herbs, you used to heal disease around the corner. thus he had a buffer. that's right. you want your hampton and lots of people around the world,
12:13 am
want to know how to live long and healthy life. what's your advice for that call? if you have a combined you live, live with for many years. ha, guam, bed time, eat a healthy diet out of that i and leave a peaceful stress free lie to you and why it will as well. oh, lots of vitamin the snow. ha ha, gas. she's laughing when a person it's lots of cheese. their heart won't suffer. no, i it is gonna vote this area was very, very distantly removed from the mainland, so to speak. it's a peninsula, it's still connected, but our roads were bad. communication didn't exist, people survived here on what they planted on, what their parents taught them, how to survive. there was no pharmacy to go to that smell. so good
12:14 am
luck when the this are treat fever and all kinds of things in the fact that people in natoya live to be older than average went largely unnoticed until one scientist stumbled onto some unusual data. some years ago, before most young professional in seattle, i was initially an economist, but it never really felt like the weight field for me. eventually i found my knees and demographics up to much more precise. with clear cut rules. it's black and white, whole eat. and they could or them, anita caswell, not by sheer coincidence. we discovered that mortality rates in the region were much lower than the rest of the country. you don't have him which important help initially i didn't pay much attention to it, martha,
12:15 am
i'll knock on when i presented my findings at a conference and there was a lot of skepticism. we asked about whether it was really so public in costa rica element that last casa, i think they don't wanna persona, but one person from the audience approach me afterwards and said, rose, it's because it's a blue zone. you can okay, so wait a moment. and at that moment, i realized that nicola really was a special place in north korea. nicole, yeah. fike, so called blue sounds, had been identified so far on our planet. these are locations where an unusually high percentage of the population lives very long. men in natoya have the world's highest life expectancy. an 80 year old male here is likely to outlive his contemporaries elsewhere by an average 8.2 years ago. but why
12:16 am
this is alan vick, is it the diet rich and fruit in acoya, or does religious faith explain it, le, federally, she ought. there wasn't any real data. john said that they're not meant unovia. that's almost normal vietnam company. the question is, is, is it genetics or is it lifestyle and young people in costa rica say put of either good. i mean they can you still? yeah. okay. see most of it campus. we carried out a study to see what happens when people lead nagoya to have yeah, you know, and what happens on people from other parts of the country and moved to nagoya as part of the price of eating the core. yeah. the most. okay. we found out that neither of these groups achieved the same longevity that is those who are born in
12:17 am
spend their whole lives here in our navy, on our tim in blue zones, eating seems to proceed more slowly. a comfy huh. the environment and the lifestyle appear to positively impact human biology for matthew. but how exactly and will this help us crack the agent code? and the molecular biologist by academies. i'm interested in understanding the origin of diseases. the majority of diseases are those associated with the agent grosses. so i'm interested in understanding why we h molecular liver. i wanted to have all my life to on this found the
12:18 am
origins of concern as united i felt enormous could be the keep. the human body consists of around 37 trillion cells, some last a few days. others lived for years. we constantly produce new cells to replace the old ones. it's a process that involves duplication. before cell division can take place, the chromosomes in the cell nucleus have to be duplicated the dna double helix they consist of is unwind and separated into strands. each strand then becomes a template for any one. the ends of the chromosomes, which are especially prone to replication errors, are protected by telomeres, which are sequences of non coding dna. but with every cell division, these safety caps become shorter.
12:19 am
but charged. i feel charged with the show on it. tillman. i imagine this. so shoelace is our chromosome. so this part of the shoe lace is the dna where the genetic information is. and this little plastic bart, which is very important to protect the shoe lace, would be the tiller. so the dealers are very important to protect our chromosomes, to protect the, the inane, as we ates, the d. m. s may come shorter and shorter these because every time that we have a damage, this has have to multiply originate the damage on these shortens the dilemma,
12:20 am
the cell division, this implication. so at the end, the dilemma become so short, but we don't have any more a t t m. so now our dna, some protected, and this is leading to asia as listen to the c's on timidly. we'll be leaving to this cell division and the rate of telomeres shortening may be influenced by our lifestyle, smoking, stress, environmental pollutants, and poor nutrition are all negative factors. some researchers believe, living in harmony with the natural world, has a positive effect. los altos, i can't, we couldn't carry out experiments like this in costa rica. so we sent her samples away and thought, when the results of this collaboration came back, we realized we'd found something i lost. it seemed like a yeah, been gone through. i must get less persona than a call. yeah. you know, people from the koya have longer telomeres, almost
12:21 am
a significantly longer telomeres than people in the rest of the country. just on scientists like maria glasgow, are exploring ways of artificially lengthening telomeres in order to slow the aging process. but this does come at a risk. digger father buy is stuff creeps. the danger is it cancer can develop it because cancer cells are a mortal and is alina, we're walking a fine line here? yes. do we tell the cells to resist their pre programmed cell death and risk that it will result in cancer? a flight in or do we leave things to run their natural course and let the cells die? when their time is ala stooped on a scrap, then there is no proliferation. and we just accepted our final destination mobs around 122100. 25 year will not sponsor gus will not from an sponsor slim shop, but of course, we all know the answer. humans wanted test the boundaries and see if they can really live to 150 or 300. and how
12:22 am
far can we go? how much should science interfere in nature is blueprint we don't have to necessarily accept current biological limitation because that's what we do as a species. we're problem solvers. we don't just sit around and get rained on, we build houses. so we may want to transcend normal biology at some point and set goals for ourself beyond just normal concepts of health. ah, ah, when you wonder why this aging, you end up asking how tissue repair. this is a process that he says, fade poorly understood,
12:23 am
says progressively accumulate damage. they age that when they re to st threshold, they undergo it siege. they become kinessa. i like to describe them as zombies, because you know they're like in a middle stay between alive and dead, denied, but there at the same time, they're really damaging in this and says produce an alarm signal so that they, all this has in the body. realize that there is a damage and they go and they repair. the problem is that as we get all these repair says, they are also old and they don't go and they don't repair a, we accumulate the says that are constantly producing these alarm. this is a phenomenon who's qual, inflammation, old people who have inflammatory signatures innovative,
12:24 am
caused by their own sameness and says that are not eliminated. we are trying to clack the code of the synopsis. i was trying to understand the wounded of amy these how to kill them without killing their nonsense themselves. in some initial experiments, manuel serrano and his team were able to show that mice lived to longer, once their senescence or zombie cells were eliminated. but that does not guarantee eternal youth. it's a double edged sword senescence. self play also very good, an important role. for example in wound today. if you ever wound, if you don't have senescence, the wound will never hear. so you could have a treatment that removes all senescence south and suddenly your terrible side effects. it just means we need more research and all research into
12:25 am
telomeres and sandy cells are only 2 approaches in the race for longevity. and one thing is certain, whoever cracks the code is set to earn millions. alright . so guys, how do i look? i look old. i saw you've seen what we did. we have announced the $255000000.00 res is the largest rays in our industry today. the hong kong has the highest life expectancy on the planet today, which is no surprise because it's very often correlated with well. and i hear
12:26 am
people are filthy, rich welfare is increasing dramatically in the region in china, mainland people who are present just 35 years ago. they are now multi 1000000 years and people demand one of the heel for biotech company. and i tried to collaborate with a lot of people, and they tried to contribute to as many projects as possible. life clinic is a very fun concept where the founder is decided to bridge the starbucks concept with preventative medical care. you choose a cocktail of all kinds of nutrients that will be going into your blood while you're sipping on a juice may offer ivey drips and all kinds of other interventions. i
12:27 am
cannot vouch for some of them. yeah. id for in hong kong or anything geared at increasing life expectancy already promises mega box dubious wonder drugs and id. drips are readily available. the region is also attracting biotech companies from around the world. money from wealthy investors has created a much high startups. he longevity research is hong kong. new dot com boom. i'm brooklyn neu, a new development is that the research is being carried out with business started met with massive capital me got company. we're investing me towards we're pumping funds into we're not, we're throwing cash at end of year from them that will invariably result in
12:28 am
a product when it's an infallible economic model to balance, which will always work in fi from to noon market. there's a huge market. what these new companies want really to have treatments for, for the season. so that's where the, the big box that i'm willing to experimental myself because there is a lot of data on me and one of the most well study of humans on the planet. now i try to optimize for high performance at this point of time i tried to perform at my peak i've tried ripple my some in the past. it's very often referred to as a magic drug in longevity, in not in the same line as metformin butts likely to be stronger than the form and it's not without side effects. so there is a chance that you're gonna see me beside us on a few others. so we decided to try to lar, south, in a very controlled mode. and i did not at home 0
12:29 am
friday, and i was exercising the hotel. i got some serious mental math increase and i feel good. all right. yeah, that's me. right. cool. thank you. good. thank you so much. a lot of like school like ah, rata my sin metformin m e d boosters? do any of these substances really help? how can their effectiveness be tested?
12:30 am
i was interested in anti aging science since i was a teenager growing up in frankfurt, germany. i had a group of friends who were very interested in science. and at some point, we realised the most important challenge of our generation is to prolong life. we had very lofty goals, i need to tell you in our we have crazy goals. we wanted to study physics, math, biology, chemistry. also, we wanted to do space travel, and then the minute you finkel space travel, you realize that you will need dec capes in order to travel at all costs, centuries. and so we felt we really need to solve this problem 1st to extend our lives span before we can even think about space travel one day by
12:31 am
accident. really because i did somebody a favor, i analyzed these methylation data. i immediately recognized that epigenetics or methylation is really the data source that has a tremendous signal for aging. and he was able to find clusters of genes whose methylation state could tell you how old you were at a particular time. the amazing thing about this is that it works from the day you are created as a fertilized egg cell all the way until the day that you die. there are more than 200 distinct cell types and the human body. although they all contain the same dna, there was a mechanism that tells the cell whether it is the skin cell or a liver cell, for example, called epigenetics. this involves information that sits on the dna,
12:32 am
resulting in genes being switched on or off. perhaps the best known type of epigenetic change is methylation. the addition or removal of methyl groups on the d n a strand. these changes continue to take place throughout our lives. the dna contains for left us a c, t, g methylation, sometimes attaches to the letter c and modifies it similar to an onslaught by keeping track very carefully. which parts of the dna gain methylation on loose methylation we can measure aging methylation can be thought of like the rust that accumulates by measuring the amount of thrust we can determine h. so he swears an hour glass. the passage of time is measured by how the sand,
12:33 am
how much sand accumulates at the bottom. the d n. a molecules though has 28000000 different our glasses because we have 28000000. let us see in our dna. so by averaging the measurements of 28000000 hour glasses, you arrive at a very accurate measure of age. this is one of the most insightful discoveries in the history of mankind. does media and what the invention of the we addis. that that was a turning point meeting. i think that was to severe a very, very important point where we're like, hey, we can measure aging. now the epa genetic clock has revolutionized research into aging with a simple dna sample. any one's biological age can be determined. however, that can produce some nasty surprises.
12:34 am
my name is mark a toy i've out, and i am steve's identical twin brother. he's my older twin brother, 5 minutes older than me. and however, only at birth measure epigenetic clock a couple of years ago. then according to one of the clocks, i was actually 4 years older than him, which is not necessarily could oh the, those technologies are enabling us to accelerate aging research dramatically by not waiting until he died. we can now measure where you are in life and measure how different interventions affect that prediction. we pick
12:35 am
this up and applied a i to the same problem and developed many, many agent walks. above all, the quest for eternal life requires personal biological data and the digital devices we use every day can provide mountains of it. big data is currently one of the most promising approaches to cracking the agent code. unlike conventional medicine, artificial intelligence can scour the data for hidden patterns to help prevent diseases from developing in the 1st place. this situation looks very similar to soft on the subway. so when you pull your wallet and you don't know who every human on the train looks the same, they move, they move a different patterns. so you to observe many, many of those staff to marios in many subways,
12:36 am
globally to develop really precise address or catching a fee for the subway and your tray and a technologies to recognize those thieves and predict human behavior. and i think the holidays in advanced countries like mainland china, there are video monitoring techniques that allow you automatically to recognize the fact on movement. so it's very similar to recognizing those proteins that misbehaved during aging and cause trouble yes, so what we're going to do now, we're going to solve a disease very quickly. we're going to solve the cross disease. ai is already poised to increase our life expectancy or so we're told.
12:37 am
at the touch of a button, startups can run through thousands of possible outcomes and quickly discover new medication. all based on data from users of apps like the one that alex chevron cult has developed we recently received 255000000 dollar is from a group of ultra elite investors. so it turned out that we are in the right place in the right time with the right technology. i think that very soon we will see guys like amazon. i'm waiting for those guys to react. guys like facebook. i guys the produce video games, netflix, those people who steal your time, they will come back and try to figure out how to make more time. so you can wasted
12:38 am
on their products. silicon valley is already on board. in 2013 google founded a secret of biotech venture called calico it's longevity, researches carried out behind closed doors with nearly unlimited resources. a group, backed by amazon founder jeff bezos, has also burst on to the anti aging scene, with hundreds of millions and funding altos labs as recruiting top scientists from around the globe to join the project. they include steve horvath and manual serrano . there's even a longevity clinic in the pipeline despite the big players jockeying for position, there is still opportunities for smaller projects, like start up quieting, which is working flat out to develop
12:39 am
a self test to measure aging. 15 is a group of people who are working towards the go of extending house fan in eradicating aging, wedded caesars are all just sort of a group of people with a sort of a fascination for aging. and it sees is an aging itself. we have sort of focused on this idea of biological each itself. we tell you what your bio i to ages. it's one of an accessible and cheap manner. a lot of biologically just currently are very pricey, which is fine. i mean, the biggest hurdle sent specially for bio hackers and people who are way more interested in the very deep science of aging. but we just want to give a general encapsulation of your eating process for the general population. nina's clock is designed to determine age based on proteins in saliva. although she can only work in a lab one, she turned 16. she's found ways to access the latest data. you go to research paper website and they have supplementary files that we are able to download and see
12:40 am
their data. so that's really cool. sometimes when it comes to us working directly with labs, they send us the data personally. so they tell us, here is the work we have done because it often helps them to in their projects. you know, people like nina are taking advantage of a new paradigm, really in which you can process the data on your own datas available. my laptop that i'm on the one hand i download data, but i also upload a lot of data. i put millions of dollars worth of data into the public domain. i think school. yeah, i think is very good. actually. i know you were making progress on the image of the test recently and to have a good rendering on. did you wanna, i'm serious, can share with them. i look like, you know, just do that right now. hold on. basically right now, i think what we decided was the best ways, like having a multi paddle test with each corresponding to one protein or using the same
12:41 am
technology use and pregnancy tests. so that's pretty interesting. he spent on the test in the sampled area. then from there you downloaded or sort of our app and from there you're able to find out, you know, the ratios of your control to sort of of your protein line. so what, what is there to the concentration of these proteins and based on the color of this test? so here you scan this, you find out that information you entered into our website and you can find out more about your process. we would want to do subscription base, you know, you're going to get several tests here because, you know, slowly can get better as you know, as you improve. she was out of the really cool it would be very hard to conceive. even wanting to do that for me and i'm from, i don't think anybody here has got to sign up for it. in
12:42 am
contrast to nina auto, gail gland in costa rica, has already ended her professional life, a successful swimwear designer. she was able to retire at age 50. ever since she's been involved in a range of social projects. it's about being unified. it's about to participate and be of service. you know, do what you can care for yourself, but do it. you can to care for others as well, and hopefully you get to a point in life where your basic needs are being met well enough that you have plenty of time to care for others. it boils down to the question or do i, do i save myself or do i save my community? and really, if your community doesn't survive, what kind of life are you going to have? a couple of years ago, a law was passed to protect the lung heavily, or the centenarians of the area that we live in, which is considered
12:43 am
a legal blues on legal, you know, by law in costa rica, so that to new nicola is preparing for an increasing number of centenarians, a private initiative aims to raise funds to build a regions 1st, nursing home. rapid advances in longevity, research are prompting a rethink of existing social structures. what will our lives look like if we continue to grow older and older? the centenarians did their contribution now at somebody else's turn to take care of them. well when a via the only glass, what are the live that i go those? how when we visit the long have those you ask them how do you feel about this project? we're doing well, yeah, i completely. i'm going to be
12:44 am
a $103.00. how are you? yeah, be able to go, but that's great. but when you get old, you eventually need some help with a use that any like it and you're lucky to live with your daughter who looks after you get out. there are people who have no support or no family dies, the employer, they left me okay, left me a noisy thing this year and no miss interlude yes, i feel happy to have lived such a long life. go here. my friends and family are here. i don't, i want to live as long as god wants me to. i the boy that gave you the exact so ma'am, not more hot as time as of all being here and observing the people who live in this blue zone. i realize how connected they are. the social component is very important.
12:45 am
they don't get cut off. i leave it on a gluten chunk of my to day. we know with it being part of a strong community is a life extent physician. that's a way for anyone to grow old and i'm yamaha without turning to pills and injection as would alter our dna. i got, well, in my personal opinion, i would not waste time on blue zones when you to fix the problem of a jane right here, right now we've reached the point of evolution where we need to accelerate evolution ourself. to do this when you have to evolve and we need to change as humans as well, to talk with . nature has no plan. nature is a random thing, right? but it works. nature is built up life on this planet over the last 4 and a half 1000000000 years. and it is fine tuned and honed and optimized things to an
12:46 am
unbelievable degree of perfection. so you have to be a little bit careful about messing with mother nature. thin glass with one of the interesting things about super centenarians. and centenarians is that their immune systems last much better than the rest of us. which is a clue as to the fact that you need to have a good immune system or to stay alive a long time. in stage horvath is one of the scientists said to follow the call of amazon boss jeff bezos. but before he embarks on that new task, he's focusing on another promising project. it's the so called trim trial,
12:47 am
designed by his colleague greg fe to reverse immune system aging. hardly any other study in the field has prompted as much interest in recent times. the flow of immune cells plays a central role in fighting illness and our bodies, but there is a limited supply of these essential cells or bodies. thymus gland produces t cells, the superstars of the adaptive immune system. however, once we reach puberty, the thymus begins to shrink. it is replaced by fatty tissue and eventually stops producing new t cells. once we've used them up, our bodies become more susceptible to pathogens and to h related diseases like cancer stroke and dementia. ah, when i saw that you could use growth hormone to re grow the thymus and take
12:48 am
a mune system function that was down to about 20 percent of the young immune system function all the way back up to a 100 percent of youthful function. i just thought we have to do something about this, but nobody took any action. so i did an experiment on myself and i regroup my own thymus. he published a scientific paper that described one person and that was himself. in 2016, the trial was repeated. this time a total of 9 test subjects renewed their thymus. v suspected the treatment was having a positive effect on the whole body. but how could he prove it? this person came to me and said lamp you help me to analyze a treatment. and the minute he said the word fine was rejuvenation. i already said yes, i steep horvath compared blood samples from the test subjects before and after treatment
12:49 am
. and he was just as amazed if not more amazed as we were about the results. if they are confirmed, it will be a sensation. the original intention was, get rid of the fat off the thymus. this treatment had a side effect, an unexpected side effect. it really rejuvenated the methylation the epigenetic clock. all 9 test subjects turned their epigenetic clocks back by around 18 months in a year of treatment. that means they had essentially reversed their biological age . by 2 and a half years. we began to get reports for some of the people in the trial that i feel great. you know, i feel so energetic. now i feel my mind is working faster than it's worth before. before this trial was over, this volunteer says, you know, my,
12:50 am
my wife has been telling me that my hairs growing and dark again. and i said, really, i, that's interesting. let's have a look. so we looked at his hair, and boy, it was a big, very strong difference. and his hair was darkening all over the place. i need to say we are all very excited about it. but we are also very sober scientists and, and therefore we always felt really desperately need a 2nd validation study. and that's really why i continue to work with greg. why i become a study participant, a 3rd study with more test subjects. he aims to corroborate the original results derived so if successful find mas regeneration could be the 1st scientifically proven anti aging treatment for human beings. but the scientists need more data.
