Thanks - took a while to get the files and then get them formatted. Dr. Barzilai and Dr. Zazala were on that panel, and it was a pleasure to meet them.

I find the “by design” hypothesis compelling. It looks like the original ideal design is gradually eroded by cumulative damage, leading to a final outcome that may likely deviate from the designer’s intended goal. But what was the initial ideal blueprint if there was one at all? We cannot avoid damage unfortunately…

I agree also that evolution selects for mean lifespan. This is very obvious when you look at different species. If people want I can give a link to one of my posts about this.
My own conclusion is that the aging and development clocks are the same clock. That is in my poster for BSRA again if people want the link to this again just ask.

There is always hope that if we can’t cure Alzheimer’s, at least little by little, we are reducing the per capita incidence.
Nick (PhD, Oxford; MD, Harvard) is one of my favorite YouTube MDs. His videos are a little shorter than most, and he is not always trying to sell anything or get you to upgrade to “Patreon,” ring that bell, etc.
He is personally interested in Alzheimer’s because he possesses two copies of the APOE4 gene variation.

lysophosphotydlcholine, probably spelled wrong. Krill oil is a pretty good source.
I take phosphatydlcholine off and on and he never said whether that would help, or if he did I did’t understand it.
