Epigenome Reverse Aging With the Right Lifestyle Choices
Epigenetic changes that drive aging can be reversed through appropriate lifestyle choices, according to Steve Horvath PhD, Principal Investigator at Altos Labs. We spoke with him for more insight. Chronic stress accelerates epigenetic aging by altering DNA methylation patterns; this effect may be partially reversed with stress reduction interventions. Our Superpower blood test measures fasting […]
Reverse Aging With Hypnosis
Scientific research continues to highlight how the mind-body connection plays a vital role in healthy aging. While clinical hypnotherapy should not replace medical care, it can provide valuable complementary treatment that improves stress regulation, sleep patterns, coping skills and habitual patterns-all key drivers of positive aging. Ellen Langer conducted an impressive experiment where people in […]
How Does Exercise Reverse Aging?
Ageing often leads to physical decline, including weakness, decreased health and increased risks of injury. A regular exercise program may help combat some of these changes by strengthening muscles. Researchers have studied Hawaiians, Seventh-day Adventists, Framingham joggers in Massachusetts and retired Danish men with longstanding fitness habits such as running or jogging and found they […]
Can Giving Old Mice Fecal Transplants From Younger Mice Reverse Aging?
Researchers reported in mSystems that giving old mice fecal transplants from younger mice can reverse some signs of aging. The transplants helped stimulate more new neurons to grow in older brains while increasing myelin sheath thickness around nerve cells. Sinclair and his team utilized ICE to make temporary, fast-healing cuts in mice’s DNA that mimicked […]
Can We Reverse Aging in Mice and Monkeys?
Professor of Genetics David Sinclair joined Fifteen Minutes to discuss anti-ageing research, wellness industry trends and his grandmother. Recent studies using partial cellular reprogramming demonstrated it is possible to reverse ageing in mice and monkeys. No matter if it be gene therapy or pills, these techniques help restore cells to more youthful states by altering […]
