Now, he\u2019s turned his attention to longevity, and he\u2019s not just theorizing. Dr. Cramer is participating in Mitrix\u2019s groundbreaking mitochondrial transplantation trial, which aims to replace damaged mitochondrial DNA with healthy versions grown in bioreactors.<\/p>\n<p>In this conversation, Dr. Cramer explains why he believes mitochondrial dysfunction is the root cause of aging, not just another hallmark. He discusses how energy depletion cascades into all other aging symptoms, why previous interventions like telomere extension haven\u2019t delivered, and what markers will be tracked throughout his trial. He also shares his personal longevity protocol, including rapamycin, senolytics, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the first detailed discussions of autologous mitochondrial transplantation for aging in humans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2025\/12\/at-92-he-is-testing-a-mitochondrial-transplant-that-could-rewrite-aging-dr-john-cramer\">Continue reading \u201cAt 92 He is Testing a Mitochondrial Transplant That Could Rewrite Aging | Dr John Cramer\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. John Cramer, 92-year-old nuclear physicist, discusses participating in the first mitochondrial transplant trial for aging and his longevity theory.
