About this episode

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?

"The way to think of this is, if you've ever heard of the epigenome, these are the control systems that control our DNA. It turns out that that system you can measure. It's chemicals on your DNA that change over time predictably. And we've just developed a way to measure that 100 times cheaper than it was before. And I'm gonna bring this test to the public so that people can test their biological age." - Dr. David Sinclair

In this fascinating episode, renowned longevity expert Dr. David Sinclair reveals groundbreaking insights into the science of aging and how our lifestyle choices directly impact our biological age. Dr. Sinclair introduces the concept of biological age versus chronological age, explaining how advanced testing methods can now determine how quickly or slowly our bodies are aging at a cellular level.

Dr. Sinclair shares his personal experience with optimizing his own health, discussing how he's managed to maintain a biological age significantly younger than his chronological age. He details the development of new, more accessible testing methods, including a cheek swab DNA methylation test, that could revolutionize how we monitor and manage our health. Throughout the conversation, Dr. Sinclair emphasizes the importance of understanding the impact of our daily habits - from smoking and alcohol consumption to exercise and diet - on our biological age. His insights offer listeners a roadmap to potentially slow down or even reverse their aging process, providing hope and practical strategies for those seeking to extend their healthspan and lifespan.
