Thoughts Matter: How Mindset Influences Aging & Lifespan | Daisy Robinton | TEDxBeaconStreetSalon

Our cells are aging each and every day starting before we are even born.
Dr. Daisy Robinton discusses what happens when we age at the cellular level and how our approach to and perception of stress, as well as lifestyle choices, affect our aging down to the molecular level.
Daisy Robinton is a Harvard University scientist who focusses on gene editing and developmental biology. She’s made waves around the world for her impressive TED talks that tackle normally hard-to-understand topics such as how and why we age. She believes that science may be able to one day engineer the end of aging as we know it.
Daisy’s work at Harvard University focusses on researching mechanisms of stem cell identity, with a focus on cancer and developmental biology. She believes passionately in helping others understand more about science which she fulfills through teaching and public speaking events, as well as publishing her own research. Even more impressively, Daisy founded the ‘Science in the News Spring Public Lecture Series’ at Harvard and consults on various biotech start-ups both in the US and the UK. Her most recent endeavor has included a feature film screenplay on the future of medicine and its longevity.
Daisy grew up in Palo Alto, CA before moving to Los Angeles to complete her B.S. in Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology at UCLA. She completed her doctorate at Harvard University under the mentorship of Dr. George Q. Daley, where her research focused on the Lin28/let-7 axis and its role in stem cell maintenance and cancer progression using murine models and cell culture. In particular, her work described a critical function of the oncofetal gene Lin28b in driving tumorigenesis, followed by the discovery of a novel role of the Lin28/let-7 network in regulating development of the body plan during embryogenesis.
Her current work in the Stevens lab is focused on mechanisms of microglial development and dysfunction during normal development and neurodegenerative disease. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Brilliant! Positive thinking is vital for positive health. Meditation has also been scientifically proven to be effective on many levels. Deep breathing itself is beneficial but also the mental focus and impact on hormones. As stated - Cortisol is released due to stress and we have evolved for physical responses soon afterwards. So it’s a good idea if stressed to exercise as this often counteracts the cortisol and effectively signals it to turn off.

Her name is Daisy Robinton not Robinson as shown erroneously at 0:23.

This is the most stressful thing anyone could tell me.

SUMMARY: Positive thoughts> positive decisions> positive behavior> positive biology. So, always be positive.

So good.... things that are under rated..... Tho Daisy could start her own channel. So Start a channel to us.... when you have the time. Whenever you want to say something. Just to put it out there! 💌

[@MartinLichtblau]

Yes, but *how to achieve such a mindset?* And I'm not sure whether the people with the right mindset can also stay calm in stress inducing situations. I know people who are never stressed, but only because they chill out and always take the easy way.
