I am Crina, host of the Dream Again Podcast, and I am incredibly grateful that you are here. I embarked on this podcast journey four years ago, as a continuation of a project centered around the power of togetherness. From "How Can I Heal" to "Dream Again," this podcast has been a transformative experience for me. As a former fashion entrepreneur, I once built a seven-figure, highly profitable business, but a personal story halted my trajectory and made me reassess what truly matters in life.
I believe deeply in the power of dreaming, and this podcast chronicles my journey of rediscovery. Through the stories of my guests and my vulnerable solo episodes, I explore themes of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of beauty and wellness. Join me on this amazing journey as we dive into the depths of human experience and possibility. Your presence and support mean the world to me, and I am honored to have you along for the ride. Thank you for being here, and now is the time to Dream Again.

    Why Do We Age and Can We Reverse It? Insights from Stanford Professor Tony Wyss-Coray

    Why Do We Age and Can We Reverse It? Insights from Stanford Professor Tony Wyss-Coray

    Today, I am absolutely thrilled to have Professor Tony Wyss-Coray with us, a renowned expert from Stanford University who is revolutionizing our understanding of aging. His groundbreaking research, which recently graced the cover of Nature magazine, reveals a fascinating concept: our organs each have their own "clocks" that offer insights into the aging process and help predict diseases like heart failure and Alzheimer's. This innovative approach stems from his study of blood proteins associated with different organs, highlighting that each organ ages at its own pace.

    In his lab, Professor Wyss-Coray and his team delve into the mysteries of brain aging, investigating why it leads to memory issues and conditions such as Alzheimer's. One of their most remarkable findings is the potential for young blood to rejuvenate older brains, suggesting a promising avenue for reversing some effects of aging. They employ a variety of scientific techniques to explore how our bodies communicate with our brains throughout our lives.

    But Professor Wyss-Coray's influence extends far beyond his lab. He has shared his pioneering discoveries on prestigious platforms such as TED talks and the World Economic Forum, earning recognition in Time Magazine’s list of people transforming healthcare. His entrepreneurial spirit has also led him to found companies dedicated to tackling brain diseases, and his contributions to science have been honored with numerous awards.

    In our discussion today, we aim to unpack Professor Wyss-Coray's recent discoveries in an accessible manner, exploring their significance for the future of aging research and what they could mean for our understanding of how to maintain health as we age. We'll also discuss the impact of exercise on reversing aging and dive into more tips and interesting points about keeping our bodies and brains healthy.

    Takeaways:
    Changes in the composition of blood can impact the brain and contribute to age-related diseases like Alzheimer's.Rejuvenation can be achieved through blood transfusion, with young blood having a positive effect on the brain and overall health.While the aging process cannot be completely reversed, it is possible to slow down aspects of aging and maintain good health until old age.Lifestyle factors, such as exercise and social connections, play a significant role in maintaining good health and slowing down the aging process.The future of aging research holds promise for developing treatments and interventions to improve health and extend a healthy lifespan.
