Price: 
FREE with admission to Museum

By Henry Olders M.D. (Assistant Professor, Department of Psychiatry, McGill).Ìý

Talk Summary:

Why is coffee good for you when you’re older? Why is too much protein bad for you? Learn which supplements are harmful, which are helpful, and why. Can stress be good for you? Do our gut bacteria play a role? Epigenetics? What’s the connection between sleep loss and cancer?

Dr. Henry Olders talks about the links between diet, lifestyle, and the diseases of aging, including dementia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and cancer, and provides practical advice to extend healthy longevity.

Drawing on his studies and experience as a geriatric psychiatrist and a computer systems engineer, Dr. Olders has applied the problem-solving approach he learned in engineering with his knowledge of physiology, metabolism, aging, evolutionary processes, and human behaviour acquired in medical school, to come up with unique perspectives on what links sleep patterns with affective disorders; what’s behind the increase of anger, rude behaviour, and violence in our society, and brain-derived machine learning algorithms, and of course the topic of this talk.

Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples.
