Aliquot #23: Altering the rate of your epigenetic clock
Recent discoveries in the field of epigenetics suggest we might be able to slow aging, based on the realization that not everyone ages at the same rate. Evidence suggests that drugs or other medical procedures can slow epigenetic aging, but other factors, such as diet and disease states influence it too. This Aliquot features Dr. Steve Horvath, an expert in epigenetics and biostatistics and creator of the Horvath epigenetic aging clock.
