All platforms / Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.substack.com/p/vgladyshev Dr. Vadim Gladyshev is a professor at Harvard Medical school and a Director of redox medicine at Brigham and Women’s hospital, where he runs his own lab.  We had a brilliant discussion which started off by talking about his work on selenium. Selenium is found is Brazil nuts and we discussed its connection to aging and cancer prevention, and also some of the harmful effects it can have. Dr. Gladyshev calls it the good, the bad, the ugly nature of selenium.   Then, we discussed a fair bit on his theory of aging before and after development. Most people believe that the germline which is the reproductive cells do not age, but his lab’s work has shown how the germline does in fact age. On this point, his lab also has interesting results on how rapamycin during development extended lifespan in mice.  It’s important to understand the basic science and understand more on the aging process in order to crack it. Dr. Gladyshev shares his views on this too and his research is certainly a step towards cracking the aging code. I hope you enjoy the conversation!  Find the previous podcast episodes & subscribe to be notified: https://www.livelongerworld.com/podcast Sign up for Premium Subscriber Transcripts: https://www.livelongerworld.com/premium Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livelongerworldOne-Time support: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/livelongerworldFind me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/livelongerworld VADIM GLADYSHEV LINKS: Website: https://gladyshevlab.bwh.harvard.edu/2022 Rapamycin During Development extends Lifespan: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.02.18.481092v1 LIVE LONGER WORLD LINKS: Website: https://www.livelongerworld.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/livelongerworldNewsletter: https://livelongerworld.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/longevityfuture/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/livelongerworldYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LiveLongerWorldPremium Subscriber: https://www.livelongerworld.com/premium TIMESTAMPS: Episode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.substack.com/p/vgladyshev Live Longer World Season 1 Recap: https://livelongerworld.substack.com/p/season1 Thanks for watching & if you enjoy the episode, let's spread the message on longevity.   You can support my work by sharing, liking, subscribing, leaving a review on Apple podcasts, donating on Patreon, or signing up as a premium member.Aging is universal.
