For anyone interested in the topic, I'd encourage reading "Lifespan" by David A. Sinclair. As someone with little to no-knowledge about aging (other than feeling the effects of aging on myself) I found it very instructive on how our aging clock works and what are some of the ongoing studies to slow down or revert aging.

I can the recommend recent interview with him on the The Knowledge Project podcast. Had a lot of aha-moments listening to that.
Thanks for the tip.
Sorry, but he oversells his work. He has not contributed so much on epigenetics, but rather nad as a supplement. He oversells nad as a longevity aid. However, he advocates intermittent fasting, and i heard from a epogenetics research leader that there is an ongoing trial for intermittent fasting reducing your epigenetic age. So sinclair is not wrong on that, probably.
