“Scientists are exploring a wide range of cutting-edge therapies aimed at understanding and manipulating the complex processes underlying these hallmarks, including epigenetic aging clocks and pluripotent stem cells.”

“The coffee group had a 23% reduction from baseline in comet-assay DNA strand breaks, and its final value was modestly lower than the control group. This experiment supports an effect on one biomarker of DNA integrity under the tested conditions.”

“Dr. Aubrey de Grey is a biomedical gerontologist and the founder of the SENS Research Foundation which aims to find technologies that can repair the various types of damage that occur during the aging process. Learn more about Dr. Aubrey De Grey SENS Research Foundation.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on Katie Couric's Next Question, she explains why magnesium supports both immediate energy needs and long-term cellular maintenance. Magnesium serves as a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes and helps maintain DNA structure, replication, and repair systems.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary of a CEO, she explains that magnesium supports hundreds of enzyme systems involved in energy metabolism, protein function, and DNA synthesis and repair.”

“When cells run out of a vitamin or mineral, that scarce micronutrient is allotted to proteins (in the body) essential for short-term survival. Proteins needed for long-term health, including those that protect DNA, lose out and become disabled and lead to diseases of aging.”

“Magnesium is a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes, including DNA-repair systems. Dr. Patrick reports observational estimates of roughly 40% lower all-cause mortality and 50% lower cancer mortality at the highest versus lowest magnesium levels.”

“Her larger point is that fear of pesticides should not displace nutrient-rich foods. Folate from leafy greens is required for normal DNA synthesis; experimental folate depletion increased uracil misincorporation and chromosome breaks, which were reversed with folate repletion.”

“In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick summarizes a recent study that found that frequency of sauna use was associated with increased decreased risk of death. Using the sauna 2-3 times per week was associated with 24% lower all-cause mortality and 4-7 times per week decreased all-cause mortality by 40%.”

“The stability of DNA methylation patterns - in terms of sample reliability - makes the use of epigenetic clock data an attractive tool in the hands of researchers investigating aging around the world.”
