“The Cleveland Clinic’s Dr. Michael Roizen Says Age 90 May Become the New 40 Dr. Michael Roizen, the Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, believes there is an 80% probability of aging interventions making 90-year-olds 40 again within the next decade.
Key Points:
-Dr. Roizen gives a rundown of techniques for eliminating dysfunctional cells that accumulate as we age — senescent cells — which may reverse age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.
-He also says drugs are in the works that reduce inflammation and enhance memory, which utilize a protein secreted from stressed muscles called irisin.
-Dr. Roizen speaks about undergoing pure oxygen therapy in a pressurized environment — hyperbaric oxygen therapy — to rejuvenate tissues via stem cell restoration.
-Dr. Michael Roizen, the Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic, says in a 2024 Aviv Longevity Summit presentation that he believes we have an 80% probability of making 90-year-olds 40 again within the next 10 years. To accomplish this, aged people may undergo therapies that restore the physical vigor they had during their middle-aged years.
He also says that new medical developments coming in the next decade may prolong human lifespan by about 30 years. Average life expectancy increased about 2.5 years with each passing decade between 1850 to 2020, so the predicted 30 years added to human lifespan between 2020 and 2030 constitutes an exponential leap.”
