What would you give to add 10, 20, maybe even 30 healthy years to your lifespan? Who wouldn’t want that? The latest scientific research from labs at places like Harvard and Stanford shows we can slow our aging process and even reverse our biological ages. In doing that, we slow the onset of age-related conditions that we’ve seen in our parents and our grandparents like Alzheimer’s, heart issues, and cancer. This is personal for me and why I started the Cutting Edge Health Podcast. Both my parents passed away with Alzheimer’s. I’m an award-winning broadcast journalist and In each episode we share conversations with the world’s experts on what you can do to live better longer.

Transcript with time code: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Transcript-48-Dr-Gill-Livingston.pdf In this episode, host Jane Rogers speaks with Dr. Gill Livingston, leader of the Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care. Dr. Livingston shares groundbreaking insights on 14 modifiable risk factors for dementia—including the latest additions of high cholesterol and uncorrected vision impairment. She explains how proactive lifestyle changes can significantly reduce the risk of cognitive decline, covering topics like hearing loss, physical inactivity, depression, and air pollution. The conversation also explores the latest research, public policy initiatives, and the evolving global understanding of dementia prevention. Tune in to learn practical steps for safeguarding brain health and why it’s never too late to make a difference. ***** Gill Livingston, MD, is an academic psychiatrist in the UK specializing in dementia research. As the leader of the Lancet Standing Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care, she has spearheaded landmark reports in 2017, 2020, and 2024. These reports provide new research, meta-analyses on life-course risk factors, and an overview of current interventions—offering critical insights into preventing and delaying a significant proportion of dementia cases. Dr. Livingston works directly with individuals with suspected or confirmed dementia and their families. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates epidemiological and biopsychosocial research to develop and test evidence-based interventions. She recently co-led the successful DREAMS trial, which focused on improving sleep in dementia patients, and is now conducting a two-year follow-up study. Additionally, she and her colleagues are developing ENHANCE—an app-based intervention with personalized coaching designed to help individuals at high risk of cognitive decline maintain brain health. ***** Cutting Edge Health podcast website: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/ Cutting Edge Health Social and YouTube: YouTube channel: youtube.com/@cuttingedgehealthpodcast Instagram - https://instagram.com/cuttingedgehealthpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Cutting-Edge-Health-Podcast-with-Jane-Rogers-101036902255756 Please note that the information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice.

Ramakrishnan discusses various promising areas of anti-aging research, including caloric restriction drugs like rapamycin, senolytics to target senescent cells, and stem cell therapies. He emphasizes the importance of clinical trials and cautions against rushing into unproven treatments. The conversation covers lifestyle factors that can promote healthy aging, such as regular exercise, proper nutrition, and maintaining social connections. Ramakrishnan shares personal insights, including his father's experience of maintaining an active lifestyle until age 99. He also touches on his own career journey and winning the Nobel Prize. Throughout the interview, he stresses the need for a scientific approach to anti-aging research while acknowledging the urgency felt by many to combat aging. The podcast provides a thoughtful exploration of the current state of anti-aging science, balancing excitement for potential breakthroughs with the need for rigorous scientific validation. ***** Venki Ramakrishnan shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for uncovering the structure of the ribosome. A National Academy of Sciences member, Venki runs his research group at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. From 2015 to 2020, he served as president of the Royal Society, one of the world's oldest scientific organizations. He is the author of the frank scientific memoir Gene Machine: The Race to Decipher the Secrets of the Ribosome and Amazon bestselling book Why We Die: The New Science of Aging and the Quest for Immortality. ***** Cutting Edge Health podcast website: https://cuttingedgehealth.com/ Cutting Edge Health Social and YouTube: YouTube channel: youtube.com/@cuttingedgehealthpodcast Instagram - https://instagram.com/cuttingedgehealthpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Cutting-Edge-Health-Podcast-with-Jane-Rogers-101036902255756 Please note that the information provided in this show is not medical advice, nor should it be taken or applied as a replacement for medical advice.
