She's really taking advantage of her degree. Her skin is GLOWING
@@GodsMemeTV dude i totally know it's makeup but still without makeup she probably looks good too
@@GodsMemeTV Thank god you're here to stop compliments being given.
@@xensonar9652 why ? I searched her name on google and i found some photos of her in twitter and facebook with our makeup and yeah it's really glowing.
@@stunnagirl8465 he wasn't replying to u. look at the tags.

I think she knows the secret to stop aging, but is keeping it to herself
One thing for sure is she works out. Her deltoids are in great shape.
is called makeup😂
Elon Musk said scientists have found out to stop ageing
kinda the opposite of what you're doing with your stupidity
the secret of stop aging is to straight up dying xD
Waiting for her to just be like
"I'm actually 70, please fund my lab" 😂
she would be already rich if she had that figured out
Still waiting
Her way of speaking reminds me of someone that's 70+ years old.

@@mrsprite399 yeah I saw it on a youtube channel called psych2go
I love how she brings the focus on healthspan and living a more comfortable life rather than just trying to extend a painful and degraded state. Rather than trying to extend life, focusing on the health problems with aging makes so much more sense and like she said would probably result in more years anyway. My biggest fears with aging is developing something like Alzheimer’s, it’s really reassuring to remember how hard people are working to ease these issues
I particularly like the study where they showed that people that used "sildenafil" (viagra) was 69% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
Whether you get Alzheimer's is more up to you than anyone else. It's your choice what lifestyle you lead, what diet you adopt, what you choose to eat and what you choose to prioritize. Laying back and going "oh, we got a load of genius scientists on the case, I'll just let them find the cure and I'll enjoy myself meanwhile" is a terrible idea. Prevention is always better and easier to achieve than the cure.
What we fear, we attract more of. Focus on life and remaining healthy and not the chances of getting Alzheimer’s. Worrying only creates more stress -> disease.
@@silversurfer8818 nice.
She's a Dr, She's got good skin, her physique is on point. She really got it all

@@iLastStar you say that like it’s a less impressive kind of doctor lol
I was hoping that someone asked about the leaps in aging we make and I suppose they kind of did. I read years ago that we don't age outwardly day by day, but rather there are these seismic events that age us a lot all at one time. So maybe you cruise through your early 30s and still look 26, but then you get a divorce and suddenly you're aged by 10 years. Based on what I've seen in life, that seems to be true.
The exemple of divorce is a life event of big stress, which, in short, makes you age faster
Like presidents before and after office
more stress = faster aging
this is why presidents look like they've done meth their entire lives after their presidency ends, running a country and being involved in scandals all the time isn't healthy
COVID definitely aged me. Not getting it, but the stress of the years.
My whole life is stress since I’ve been 12 and I’m 23. How come I look like 15? I’ve always looked VERY young no matter the bullying or other really stressfull things?
“You develop a state that is less compatible with life than you originally had” 🤯 why does that phrase seem so brutal?!
‘cuz our impermanence hurts to acknowledge but her analogy is a lot kinder vs other ways she could’ve worded it
fun fact. Dr. Morgan is actually 1,000 years old...so ya...i would trust her
how old is she tho fr
@@flueepwrien6587 late 30s
She looks so excited and happy to be answering the questions, especially about epigenetics. Really makes the video like 100x more interesting and entertaining to watch!
The secret to not aging is a very simple one: just don't age. I don't understand why more people don't seem to get it.

Just watching her talking made me 10 years younger. Thank you dr.
fyi constantly learning can keep your brain sharp and in turn relatively young :D
@@ash5779 unrelated but your profile pic is so cute
What!? Lucky.
:/ Watching her talking made me ~17minutes and 32 seconds older...
Thanks for _nothing_ Dr. Levine
>:((
I'm really into aging now thanks Dr.
Haha good one.. how do you guys come up like this. 👍🏼
Your name is really fiting lmao
than whats a scenecent cell
@@-TurkiFaisalMAlAyesh It's a cell that has replicated to its end, become wrinkly and dysfunctional, and begins to secrete chemicals to tell your body to kill it. If your body fails, which it does, they build up over time.
Love that she's talking about healthspan vs. lifespan. Similarly, I think we need to stop talking about "healthy" vs. "sick" as though it were binary. There is a wide spectrum with very sick people on one end and extremely fit people on the other.
It's not even just healthy and sick that's has a spectrum, Everything in life is a spectrum, we all just categorize the extremes of both ends because it's easier to understand
i'm not getting older i'm just becoming incresingly more incompatible with life. this is why i will be staying indoors watching various tv shows. thank you for your consideration
hahah :)
She's actually 84
This channel never fails to make me excited to watch all the expert talking about their subject of expertise. They all look very passionate about it and I can watch them like a 5 year old listening to my cool uncle/aunt explaining and answering to dumb questions I asked ✨👄✨
She’s not old ppl! Guessing around 35-36 based on her linkedin. Mostly I’m impressed by how accomplished she is at her young age. Go female scientists!!!!
oh wow she look 25-30 but I'm stating the obvious I guess
@@ImworriedImgettingspyedon As someone also 36 I feel she looks her age. But also… 36 is young!! Sad that so many ppl feel that women are over the hill after 30.
That’s the real takeaway
She looks 25 but you can clearly tell she’s older by the way she talks
@@fuzzbuzzbrown987 not me. I’m 26 dating a 38 year old woman

She's incredible at explaining these topics to neophytes like me.
...wtf do plants have to do with this 😭
@@siali8683 The definition of "neophytes" is a person who is new to a subject, like a beginner.
Incredible video, she is so well spoken and helps with understanding complicated topics!
I want to know her age SOOOO badly. She could say she’s either 25 or 45 and I wouldn’t be surprised by either one
37
Dr. Levine explains aging in a very clear and easy to understand way. So many presentations are just someone's opinion. She admits there are controversies about aging among the scientific and medical community but the general conclusion is that there is no magic cure for aging. However there are things that can slow it down.
Really interesting stuff so liking Dr. Levin's informative insights!
The British Medical Journal found that baby-faced people tended to have longer telomeres and lived longer (older-looking twins were more likely to die earlier)

Eat plant based, Exercise daily, sleep 8 hrs a day and avoid stress like the plague….. almost forgot drink ALOT of water.
Fast, reduce caloric intake, take select supplements, reduce simple sugar intake (including some fruits), etc...
Also be happy
Avoid alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs and use sun screen every day.
I really wanted her to state her age with her name so as to distinguish if shes the real deal. I mean if she said "Hi I'm Dr. Morgan Levine and I'm 62 I would consider everything she says gospel
Based on her Instagram she’s 37
@@iniobongtobby5493 she looks really good for someone who is 37 as well!
So you'd rather she looks a certain way to prove her points rather than actually listening to her and paying attention to her education. Fuckin stupid
She’s like 27-36😂😂😂 I bet u money because aging is as natural as giving birth you can stop it .
@@SMJSelena it’s not as if 37 year olds look 60 tho
Congrats on the WIRED episode Morgan - great job answering those questions!
She probably knows the secret of the fountain of youth. Pharrell must know her.
I can listen to her talk all day so much poise and command when she is speaking
Such a fascinating topic! I hope y'all have her back one day for even more questions
I wish she'd been my biology professor in college, then I would have had perfect attendance and probably perfect grades too.
Invite her
And perfect skin
Healthspan is a very important field of medicine. Thanks for bringing it into public eye.
these videos are always great!
She was amazing and so knowledgeable!!!
Thank you so much Dr.! Could you please tell us more about how epi genetics are the difference between a skin cell and brain cell? That illuminates so much for me.
In the twin study, the one in space had his telomeres grow in length. Thus saying his cells actually got younger
Also she has figured out how to stop aging
i thought he just aged slower cuz time passes by differently in space ?? cool to know :)
@@ash5779 That only accounts for milliseconds and wouldn't be noticeable at all
I don't care, I'll say it: gorgeous and educated, I'm in love with Dr. Levine.
she has a very lucky man
No.1 way to slow down ageing of the skin is to wear sunscreen. Sun exposure is the biggest factor in wrinkles developing quickly. Don't go tanning ladies, wear sunscreen!!
People that argue that it's "unnatural" or "immoral" to alter genetics, I argue people and science are constantly evolving and the resulting technology isn't immoral per se. The natural part is open to interpretation.
Humans are by nature, unnatural.
Im tired of people pretending that natural =better
People who cry unnatural and immoral better not be hurtling around in cars and planes, and using smartphones to live their lives.
Fascinating explanations
I love people who are so passionate about studying longevity. David Sinclair and Andrew Huberman are 2 other great researchers on this subject .
Thank you, Dr. Morgan Levine, for answering so many different topics based on aging. You have superior knowledge in many areas of life...thank you.
Excellent, thank you.
bruh i thought the age expert would be like 70
What if she is, and she figured out a way to prevent it? I smell a conspiracy theory
Shes 35 and looks like shes in her 20s
I doubt she can backflip
the next video needs to be her skin care routine
Thank you very much!
Very informative!
Wired gets GREAT people for these videos, I love these!
This type of research is what we should really start pouring money into imo. If we could maintain our youthfulness, we wouldn't have to worry about Alzheimers, cancer, heart disease, arthritis, etc.
To clarify, our youthfulness in biological age (the health of our organs and overall system), which is important, not the aesthetic signs of chronological aging (lines, wrinkles) that people complain about.
Ty Wired for covering longevity and life extension topics! ❤
The way her facial expressions and gestures operates as she explains is like an asmr to me.
We can reverse aging in whole organisms such as worms and mice. There is no reason to think we cannot do the same for people at some point.
They are trying to not get people excited.
except, listen. just because we can do something for one organism doesn't mean it is possible to do it for another. there is a reason why we can do it in worms. they're extremely simple organisms in comparison to humans. it's like saying, "well, I was able to jump over a six inch wide puddle the other day. there's no reason I can't jump across the Atlantic ocean someday"
@@sethescope Your comparison is hyperbolically disingenuous though. You're talking about something that can't possibly be improved, at least not realistically for this century or even the next. In reality it's more like this, "Well this weird flying contraption by the Wright brothers can travel 136m, there's no reason it can't travel the entire Atlantic ocean someday." There you go, a more honest comparison. Considering how we are now very quickly learning what makes the body age and what needs to be fixed, in the end it's all a biological engineering problem that's not even close to the difficulty of what you're describing. Oh and please tell me what we've learned to this day that will make us able to jump across the Atlantic ocean, realistically and step by step, that you would compare it to our current knowledge of aging.
@@AnifreakGedsparrow wow, you got really worked up by a comment you disagreed with. sorry I hurt your feelings, my bad
@@sethescope Oh I definitely disagreed with it. Didn't really get worked up though, but since you can't reply properly I'll just accept that you agree that your initial comment made no sense lol
Fun fact, she’s actually 87
She seems like a great professor. She did a great job of explaining biology jargon without dumbing it down too much or being condescending.
Another good one
she seems like a good person.
According to my physical therapist I’m starting to lose lubrication in my knee joints and it’s just due to age. I didn’t expect that to happen at age 29.
How did you find out?
😦
Some changes in the musculoskeletal system are just normal. As long as you don't have any symptoms of pain and you keep yourself active, do not worry too much about it.
@@ralitsamincheva2292 if they're seeing a physical therapist who is examining and working with their knee, it is fair to assume it has become a problem and is causing them pain
My 80 year old dad had knee pain, I made him do squats and his pain was mostly gone in a few weeks. It’s use them or lose them, maybe there are supplements that can help too
Thank you
What an interesting vid!
I'm a med student but the part about senescent cells was a TIL. Cool!
Physicist here: she might have been ironic in the "Do we age more in Space" question, but just to clarify... the time dilation effects she's talking about are not responsible for any difference in aging. They amount to microseconds...
Hey, either you have 3 microseconds more or not. They accumulate and some day you can live a whole second longer then you would have otherwise.
@@JonesP77 Ahah sure! I did the math for fun: on the ISS astronauts gain about 9 milliseconds over an entire year (it's 0.3 nanoseconds per second). So it would take more than 100 years for the difference to amount to 1 second.
worth it 😎
I think she was trying to consider longer travels/an hypothetical scenario. Also, making the person who asked the question feel less silly.
I think it’s obvious that going into space will have a negative impact on your body: g forces, shifts in gravity and oxigenation, etc.
@@andreaolivo523 hhahaa
I was actually surprised she didn't mention radiation in space. It's a significant health hazard.
"Selective Cell Suicide" is a good band name.
Love to see her and Peter Attia talk.
Wow this Professor is Mindblowing , 😍
Avril Lavigne should be answering this
I think she’s spot on with the “hangover recall”. I think when you’re younger you were quite happy sleeping a day away - less responsibilities you have to do next day etc. Now it’s like - kids jumping on you, dammit I was meant to clean the house, I’ve just lost an entire day GAH! 😅
There is NO WAY that hangovers don't get worse over time. Might not be aging but I distinctly remember a time that I could binge drink excessively, drink no water, and feel fine the next day. No. Way.
Would love to hear her opinion about movies aging backwards or not aging at all
Drop your skin routine, sis
I was curious about the hangover/age correlation she touched on, and not to say she's wrong, but one proven link was due to the liver's decreased capability to deal with certain toxins as you age.
I'm sure she's probably aware of this study, maybe there are things that prove it unreliable but idk
There probably isnt enough research into this to say for sure. Also keep in mind this is usually said by people in their late 20s and 30s and not someone at 60 so the liver function wont be drammatically worse than at 20. Hangover symptoms are also not necessarily the best indicator to how well your body handles the poison since its basically your immune system causing them. Just like with vaccines, a strong response can mean your immunse system is just very active and powerfull so it knocks you out with a mean headache
Our body's rate of metabolism slows down as we age. As the metabolism slows, this reduces the amount of alcohol the body can get rid of before we wake. Like you suggest, the slowed metabolism leads to an elevated level of toxins still in the system. She may be a scientist but she doesn't specialise in this particular field.

@@stunnagirl8465 its the only true answer with today's medicine
At 02:50 - that's me :D - though totally taken out of context without my consent!
The question about age of internal organs and the chronological age helped. Someone once did a series of measurements for a health assessment and said my "internal" age or I forget the term they use was "16" but I was 35 at the time. I was confused. Everyone congratulated me and asked me where the fountain of youth was. I had no idea what they were talking about. Now I am in my forties healthier than everyone around me and still look like I am in my 20s. I guess that internal age or whatever term she used is important. lol.
To the woman that was eating a plant based diet, then ate meat and felt great… I suspect maybe that your iron was low… Meat is a great source of iron so getting more iron will give you more energy
plant based does not actually mean 100% just plants, it's not vegan. they eat fish too. just means mostly plants.
@@Redmanticore True, but yeah, don’t know if she eats fish though…

Why is comments mentioning David Sinclair not showing here?
The book Ageless actually does say that only a minuscule percentage of federal funding in the US in the bureau that focuses on the elderly actually focuses on aging itself. I'm glad she is on the case, though!
It’s amazing how she looks being 74 years old
She is 35 but could pass for a decade younger. Jealous.
Wow. That is one good looking professor
I really really like her take on extending healthful living rather than longevity, very interesting.
Professor, you have both intelligence and beauty. I thought you were an actress at the first time
Great video and very interesting.
Do have to say that the cameraman/editor needs a slap. The constant zooming back and forth, sometimes in the middle of a sentence, was really jarring and distracting. Don't mind this happening a few times but it seemed to jump every few seconds.
She really looks like the grade school teacher every boy had a crush on
Beautiful doctor 🤠
Aging in part is an evolved mechanism for a lot of lifeforms to make room in a niche for the younger generations that ideally could have more genetic diversity and changes that increase the fitness of a species and overall help it evolve faster so it has a better chance of surviving. As a species this mechanism makes a lot of sense but as an individual not so much.
Aging is not really something that was evolved, things just break down eventually. BUT we also didnt particulary evolve to have long and healthy lifes either, as in evolutional terms anything that happens to you after giving birth is irrelevant.
@@yakb.7690 Yeah cell break down but they also get replaced, some animals can do this forever, it's called negligible senescence. There are many ways being around after not being able to reproduce helps you pass on your genes, just ask your grandparents.
@@CMZneu to an extent, wouldn’t be good to let it drag on so long it becomes a severe burden on resources
