b"I am delighted to have Dr. Gil Blander, an internationally recognized anti-aging researcher, joining me on the show today! Gil has a background in the basic biology of aging and translating his discoveries into new ways of detecting and preventing age-related conditions. He received a Ph.D. in biology from the Weizmann Institute of Science and completed his postdoctoral fellowship at MIT. He has been featured In CNN Money, The New York Times, Forbes, The Financial Times, and The Boston Globe.\\nThere are many connections between Gil\\u2019s childhood in Israel and his quest for longevity. One of his relatives passed away when he was twelve years old. When that happened, Gil realized that he would not live forever. It worried him, and that concern stimulated his interest in longevity and aging and prompted him to study biology, do a Ph.D. at the Weizmann Institute of Science, spend five years at MIT in the best lab to study aging, and found InsideTracker. Listen in today to find out all you need to know about the lifestyle choices that will promote anti-aging and longevity.\\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN\\n\\nGil shares his background.\\n\\nWhat prompted Gil to leave the lab at MIT to go into the private sector.\\n\\nHow and why caloric restriction extends our lifespan.\\n\\nHow Gil transitioned from academia into the private sector.\\n\\nGil explains what happens in the body when calories are restricted.\\n\\nHow Gil managed to find the best blood biomarkers for longevity,\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0performance, and wellness.\\n\\nHow Gil found the interventions to optimize anti-aging blood biomarkers.\\n\\nHow nutrition and lifestyle changes can aid longevity.\\n\\nHow the InsideTracker process works, and why it utilizes blood rather than saliva or urine for the testing.\\n\\nGill talks about bio-individuality and clarifies some of the confusion often associated with epigenetic testing.\\n\\nFoods that promote or prevent longevity.\\n\\nThe lifestyle choices that are essential for anti-aging and longevity.\\n\\nGil talks about supplements.\\n\\n\\n\\ufeffConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\\nFollow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\\nCheck out Cynthia\\u2019s website\\xa0\\nConnect with Gil Blander (InsideTracker)\\nOn the website \\u2013 Save 25% on Inside Tracker by using this referral link!\\nOn Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn,\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0and Twitter\\nBook mentioned:\\nLifespan: Why We Age\\u2015and Why We Don't Have To \\xa0by Dr. David Sinclair"
