You know how old you are in years, but you know your biological age, meaning are your body

and your brain younger or older than your chronological years?

For anyone interested in slowing down aging, preventing diseases and

illnesses, Telemears are a really important part of that discussion. These are

chromosomeal caps and they can give you some insight into the health or senescence of your

cells. On this week's podcast you'll meet a longevity researcher focused on

telomeres specifically here's what we'll discuss. Telemears and their

predictive power for biological age in longevity, the

Fox O3 gene and its potential role in longevity prediction, why the enzyme telomerase is a crucial and often missing part of the discussion of

telomeres, how longevity is really a game of slowing not stopping the aging

process, and finally the importance of lifestyle choices for

telomere length and longevity in general.

If you're new here this is age less live more with Lucas Rockwood.

I'm a yoga teacher and trainer a serial entrepreneur.

I'm the father of three kids. But firstly I'm a student.

I use this podcast to research health span, how we can live our best lives, specifically in the second half of life.

With that mind, I go out and find academics and

researchers, medical doctors, yoga teachers, meditation instructors, and more I

attempt to bring their best work here so that we can put it into action in

our lives and hopefully see some benefits.

To support my work, here's my only ask of you.
