David Sinclair, a Harvard professor and Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of personalized health company InsideTracker (insidetracker.com/team/), claims that the company reveals that he is “getting younger for the past decade” (twitter.com/healthmisinfo/status/1416209047791960064/photo/2). He has been making similar claims repeatedly on podcasts for the past several years. Indeed, the InsideTracker website claims that “Dr. Sinclair reclaimed a decade of his life using InsideTracker” (twitter.com/healthmisinfo/status/1416209047791960064/photo/3). The website even quotes Dr. Sinclair: “InsideTracker has already figured out” how to “reverse aging” (twitter.com/healthmisinfo/status/1416209047791960064/photo/4).
These claims are fraudulent. They misrepresent the state of the science in order to market the InsideTracker product, leveraging the Harvard brand to illegitimately enrich Sinclair and his friends at the expense of consumers.
The InsideTracker concept is simple. Blood is drawn and blood markers (such as albumin or hsCRP) are compared to average levels at a given age (twitter.com/healthmisinfo/status/1416209047791960064/photo/1). Voila: based on the composite biomarkers, a person’s can be “aged”. This is one’s “biological age” according to the product. One can then “reverse” one’s biological age by improving one’s blood markers by using the recommendations given by InsideTracker.
The problem with this should be obvious: just because one is improving one’s blood glucose, testosterone, or CRP does not mean that one is “reversing aging.” Such a claim would be absurd, as David Sinclair himself almost certainly knows.
Sinclair claims “not to be selling anything” but repeatedly promotes products like InsideTracker—from which he does make money. This is not ethical and it sullies the Harvard name that David Sinclair is leveraging to do this. This misconduct, which is arguably illegal, needs to stop.
