THE RUNAWAY CELL
New Ways to Address the Killer That Is Cancer
2nd leading cause of death in US
Kills at almost exactly same rate as 50 yrs ago
Metastasis
Only 5-8% US cancer research goes to study it.
Instead, focus is on TREATING Metastatic cancer
Cancer Metabolism
New Treatments
Immunotherapy
Early detection is best hope, but we don't screen early enough
Hardest of 4 Horsemen to prevent

THE TICKER
Confronting -and Preventing- Heart Disease,
the Deadliest Killer on the Planet
ASCVD atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
Not just men
US women 10x more likely to die ASCVD than Breast Cancer
(1in3 vs 1in30)
Preventable than cancer or Alzheimer's
Cholesterol: HDL,LDL,VLDL, and HDL-C,LDL-C,& apoB
Need to Test for 30yr outlooks, NOT 10yr
Test for apoB
Statins
How to reduce risk of ASCVD

THE CRISIS OF ABUNDANCE
Can Our Ancient Genes Cope With Our Modern Diet?
ALT -& liver disease
You can't fight Horsemen without taking on
metabolic dysfunction first
Fat under skin not all bad,
but overflow is
Visceral Fat (between organs)
drives inflammation there,
& linked to cancer & cardiovasc disease
Inactivity causation
Preventing metabolic dysfunction is cornerstone to approach to longevity

EAT LESS, LIVE LONGER?
The Science of Hunger and Health
On Easter Island (real name: Rapa Nui)
new molecule discovered, now known as
Rapamycin (after island's name)
R confirmed since 2009 to extend mouse lifespans reliably (and others)
mTOR
Calorie Reduction (CR) life-extending effect
AMPK is activated in exercise
Autophagy is essential to life
As we get older, it declines
Metformin shows promise

CENTENARIANS
The Older Your Get,
The Healthier You Have Been
At 60, coronary arteries as 35yo's
At 85, looked & felt like 60
Goal of Med 3.0... to live like Centenarians
to enjoy 1, 2 even 3 Bonus Decades
Healthier at 90 than avg in 60s
Focus on delaying the ONSET
rather than extending DURATION
of all chronic diseases.
Goal is to live longer WITHOUT disease
Secret is RESILIENCE, we want to cultivate
