Acerca de esta escucha
A revolutionary examination of why we age, what it means for our health, and how we just might be able to fight it.
In Cracking the Aging Code, theoretical biologist Josh Mitteldorf and award-winning writer and ecological philosopher Dorion Sagan reveal that evolution and aging are even more complex and breathtaking than we originally thought. Using meticulous multidisciplinary science as well as reviewing the history of our understanding about evolution, this book makes the case that aging is not something that "just happens", nor is it the result of wear and tear or a genetic inevitability. Rather, aging has a fascinating evolutionary purpose: to stabilize populations and ecosystems, which are ever threatened by cyclic swings that can lead to extinction. When a population grows too fast, it can put itself at risk of a wholesale wipeout.
Aging has evolved to help us adjust our growth in a sustainable fashion as well as prevent an ecological crisis from starvation, predation, pollution, or infection. This dynamic new understanding of aging is provocative, entertaining, and pioneering and will challenge the way we understand aging, death, and just what makes us human.

Historia
Have you wondered why some 60-year-olds look and feel like 40-year-olds and why some 40-year-olds look and feel like 60-year-olds? While many factors contribute to aging and illness, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn discovered a biological indicator called telomerase, the enzyme that replenishes telomeres, which protect our genetic heritage. Dr. Blackburn and Dr. Elissa Epel's research shows that the length and health of one's telomeres are a biological underpinning of the long-hypothesized mind-body connection.

Historia
How do some people avoid the slowing down, deteriorating, and weakening that plagues many of their peers decades earlier? Are they just lucky? Or do they know something the rest of us don’t? Is it possible to grow older without getting sicker? What if you could look and feel 50 through your 80s and 90s? Founder of the Institute for Aging Research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and one of the leading pioneers of longevity research, Dr. Nir Barzilai’s life’s work is tackling the challenges of aging to delay and prevent the onset of all age-related diseases.

The often-surprising results of Levy’s science offer stunning revelations about the mind-body connection. She demonstrates that many health problems formerly considered to be entirely due to the aging process, such as memory loss, hearing decline, and cardiovascular events, are instead influenced by the negative age beliefs that dominate in the US and other ageist countries. It’s time for all of us to rethink aging and Breaking the Age Code shows us how to do just that.

Historia
Aging - not cancer, not heart disease - is the underlying cause of most human death and suffering. The same cascade of biological changes that renders us wrinkled and gray also opens the door to dementia and disease. We work furiously to conquer each individual disease, but we never think to ask: Is aging itself necessary? Nature tells us it is not: There are tortoises and salamanders who are spry into old age and whose risk of dying is the same no matter how old they are.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives - they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one. But our brains often get in the way. We make poor decisions, which thwart us on our quest to find lasting love.

Historia
Within each of us is an ancient mechanism that eliminates toxic materials, initiates fat burning, and protects cells from becoming dysfunctional - or turning cancerous. It’s called autophagy, and when it’s turned on, the complex operation not only can slow down the aging process, it can optimize biological function as a whole, helping to stave off all manner of diseases and affording us the healthy life spans we never thought possible. It’s the body’s ultimate switch to life.

What do obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, neurological disorders, and premature death have in common? All can be stoked by high uric acid levels. Our most respected scientific literature is bursting with evidence that elevated uric acid levels lie at the root of many pervasive health conditions, but mainstream medicine for the most part remains unaware of this connection.

Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Kris Verburgh is quickly emerging as one of the world's leading research authorities on the science of aging. The Longevity Code is his authoritative guide on why and how we age and on the four most crucial areas we have control over in order to slow down - and even reverse - the aging process. We learn why some animal species hardly age at all while others age and die very quickly and about the mechanisms at work that slowly but definitely cause our bodies to age, making us susceptible to heart attack, stroke, cancer, pneumonia, and dementia.

The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance but also of hubris, arrogance, paternalism, and misperception, all leveraged against a disease that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer".

In this fascinating and thought-provoking book, author Nick Lane brings together the latest research findings in the exciting field of mitochondria research to reveal how our growing understanding of mitochondria is shedding light on how complex life evolved, why sex arose (why don't we just bud?), and why we age and die. This understanding is of fundamental importance, both in understanding how we and all other complex life came to be, but also in order to be able to control our own illnesses, and delay our degeneration and death.

Physician and biochemist Cate Shanahan, MD, examined diets around the world known to help people live longer, healthier lives - diets like the Mediterranean, Okinawa, and Blue Zone - and identified the four common nutritional habits, developed over millennia, that unfailingly produce strong, healthy, intelligent children and active, vital elders generation after generation. These four nutritional strategies - fresh food, fermented and sprouted foods, meat cooked on the bone, and organ meats - form the basis of the Human Diet.

A credible hypothesis of aging
First off, the narrator was great. As a co-author he never mispronounced a scientific word which was refreshing. My biggest concern reading (listening to) this book was that it was outdated now (in 2021) because the science is moving so fast. Welp, I was SO wrong. This read like a breakthrough text to me. To other commenters decrying political views in the book, I can only say that it was contained to a paragraph or two, and used as an analogy. It's honestly quite strange that anyone would mention that in the review, as it was 0.001% of the text.
Before this book I read Sinclair's Lifespan. While Sinclair's book presents some very profound experiments, this text is on a different level. It pulls together evolutionary biology and modern bioscience. There is a very large chunk of the book where the author is arguing group selection theory that can be skipped over if you are not a hardcore neo-darwinist type (i.e. prestigious old school evolutionary biologist.) The last 1/3 of the book is gold when it comes to helping you understand aging and what you can do about it. My favorite take away tip is the concept of mutually redundant benefit, where you end up adding the same 3 years to your life over and over again (this is bad, or a waste of money at best.) He outlines the different pathways which work separately which you can activate. However, the author also heavily focuses on what is missing in current science and where we need to go. Some of this has been addressed over the last 10 years but sadly some science is lagging. According to the author, "winding back the aging clock 4 years would save more lives than a perfect cure for cancer."

A mix of good and bad
The first few and last few chapters of this book are terrible. The author goes on and on with his amateurish thoughts on philosophy, economics, and other subjects. The middle chapters were a very interesting coverage of the evolution of aging as well as research on aging. The book is worth it for the middle chapters. The begining almost made me quit the book early, and the end made me question the credibility of the middle chapters.

Fascinating!
I bought this book when I read a review that mentioned David Sinclair’s Lifespan, which is one of my top 2 favorite books. Cracking the Aging Code is full of fascinating hypotheses, theories, science and evolutionary biology. Did not want to miss a single sentence and in fact rewound many times to make sure I hadn’t missed a thing. Could have listened to 10 more hours of it.

Good attempt to cover a big subject
This is an impressively comprehensive coverage of the science, history, and philosophy of why we age, and the efforts of scientists to understand and develop effective therapies. Written in 2015, some of the statements are becoming outdated. But much is valuable and relevant. This book would be especially interesting to those who are already students or researchers in the field, because they can appreciate how it fits in with other viewpoints on how aging occurs. Unfortunately, the audiobook reader mispronounces many technical terms and the names of many key scientists and historical figures.

No new information just arguing
Awful just awful, and not what advertised to be. It’s just one man’s opining why he’s right about evolution and everyone else is wrong. Not science, just opinions, and no anti-aging insights as advertised. If I have to hear the word “neo-Darwinian one more time I’ll lose my mind. Awful book

Not what I expected.
This entire book is simply trying to prove (to the public, or the science community, I couldn't tell where it was aimed) that group selection is the main culprit behind why we are programmed to age. They do this by attacking the viewpoint of every single other theory accepted by science up to this point. Is somebody detesting the 'Disposable Soma Theory' from 92 different approaches something that may hold you interest? Would you mind hearing the term 'Neo-Darwinian theory' 492 times? If so this book is for you. But that's not what I was looking for. And the cherry on top was the fact that the narrator to the audio book sounds like Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. A southern California surfer may not have been the best choice to narrate this book.
