In this book summary, I’m explaining the key ideas of David Sinclair's book: "Lifespan: Why We Age - and Why We Don't Have to".
In more detail, we're discussing the following topics:
1. Why do we age? (0:35 - 2:14)
2. What can we do to slow down the aging process and reverse it? (2:15 - 7:35)
2.1. Eat less (3:04 - 4:12)
2.2. Exercise more (4:13 - 4:50)
2.3. Expose yourself to extreme temperatures (4:51 - 6:19)
2.4. Supplement yourself (6:20 - 7:35)

Here is also a blueprint for how a day in the author's life looks like:
- David takes 1 gram (1,000 mg) of NMN every morning, along with 1 gram of resveratrol and 1 gram of metformin
- David takes a daily dose of vitamin D, vitamin K2, and 83 mg of aspirin
- David strives to keep his sugar, bread, and pasta intake as low as possible. He eats a lot of plants and tries to avoid eating other mammals.
- David tries to skip one meal a day or at least make it really small.
- David tries to take a lot of steps each day.
- David doesn't smoke. He tries to avoid microwaved plastic, excessive UV exposure, X-rays and CT-scans.
- David tries to stay on the cool side during the day and when he sleeps.
- David aims to keep his body weight or BMI in the optimal range for health span, which is 23 to 25 for him.
Cheers,
Anthony
