You know how old you are, but do you know your biological age? Meaning, are your body and brain younger or older than your chronological years? For anyone interested in slowing down aging and preventing disease and illness, telomeres are an important part of the discussion. These chromosomal caps provide insight into the health or senescence of cells and can provide some limited insight into how well you’re aging.

Listen and learn:

  • About the FOX03 gene and its role in longevity
  • The predictive power of telomeres for biological age and longevity
  • Why the enzyme telomerase is a crucial and often missing part of the discussion
  • How longevity is a game of slowing - not stopping - the aging process
  • The importance of lifestyle choices on telomere length
