NOTE FROM TED: While some viewers may find this talk helpful as a complementary approach, please do not look to this talk as a substitute for medical advice. This talk only represents the speaker’s personal views and understanding of lifestyle, longevity, and health which warrants further scientific investigation. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf Longevity physician Dr. Abe Ho explores breakthroughs in longevity science, healthspan, preventive health, and healthy aging that could help more of us live longer and live better well beyond 100. From stem cells and regenerative medicine to anti-aging research, wellness, and the future of medicine, this talk looks at how science may reshape the way we think about aging and long-term health. With 20 years in the medical field, Dr. Abraham Ho launched his career as a general surgeon at Peking University People's Hospital. Troubled by watching cancer patients suffer through their final years—believing this reactive approach was inadequate— in the latter decade of his career he shifted his focus to health management and preventive medicine, aiding clients in mitigating cancer and other morbidity risks. His distinguished tenure includes co-founding Temple (serving as Chief Medical Officer), Chief Medical Officer and VP of Laboratory for Advanced Medicine (China), and Deputy GM of Medical Services at iKang Healthcare Group. Currently, as Chief Health Officer of Bycare Health, and focused on longevity science, he leads a team of physicians delivering exclusive full life cycle health management and longevity services to UHNWIs. He also serves as an Industry Mentor at Tsinghua University’s Schwarzman College and is a 2015 TEDxTALK alumni. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
