And what's interesting is when you reverse aging, diseases like Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease go away or are gone.

because what's driving a lot of those diseases is aging.

And so my lab is like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory.

They are making discoveries that blow me away every week.

And I think we're at a turning point in human history where you're probably going to live into the 22nd century if you do all the right things.

This is why I love your podcast, Stephen.

You ask the right questions.

Oh, yes.

That is an important picture, true.

This is a picture of my grandmother and me when I was in my early 20s.

I'm now 56, if you're wondering.

And my grandmother has played a major role in my life.

I'm going to have to be careful not to get too emotional because she's now passed away, but she's inspired me to

do the best I can to leave the world a better place.

And I found it.

And there's this particular book here called Now We Are Six.

It is.

Anyone who's read my book, Lifespan, knows that this book is very important to me.

And I didn't realize it, of course, when I was a kid, that this was going to change my whole life.

And there's a poem at the back there that my grandmother, Vera, used to read me when I was six.
