“Telomeres in most human cells shorten during aging, suggesting that it is both a cause and a biomarker of aging. In this clip, Dr. Elissa Epel explains how new research using Mendelian randomization techniques is providing insights into the dual nature of telomeres.”

“In this member Q&A clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick outlines biomarkers she discusses with a clinician. Her cardiovascular list begins with a standard lipid panel and can extend to ApoB, ApoA1, Lp(a), particle measures, and homocysteine when risk context justifies more detail.”

“Identifying the underlying causes and addressing them is critical for both the prevention and management of its symptoms. A "cognoscopy," a battery of assessments that includes biochemical tests, measures some of the key biomarkers associated with Alzheimer’s disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment.”

“However, the DNAm GrimAge epigenetic clock is a highly reliable predictor of healthspan and lifespan, based on DNAm surrogates in blood, including biomarkers of aging and alterations in blood composition.”

“Inflammation is a critical element of the immune response and occurs when the body is exposed to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Some scientific evidence indicates that centenarians, those who live to 100 years of age, have lower biomarkers of inflammation.”

“Exercise is essential in preventing age-related physical and mental decline. Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle tissue with age, is one of the most important causes of functional decline and loss of independence in older adults.”

“This episode of the Aliquot features FoundMyFitness guests with expertise in fields including lipid metabolism, Alzheimer's disease, and micronutrient biochemistry sharing their recommendations regarding blood tests that a person should consider adding to their yearly checkup.”

“As a starting point, Dr. Attia suggests people consume just enough protein to maintain and grow muscle mass. The oral glucose tolerance test, which monitors glucose and insulin levels, can be used to determine carbohydrate limits.”

“One theory is that this eating pattern coordinates food intake with the body's peak metabolism period. Time-restricted eating can promote better sleep, and sufficient sleep itself can improve some biomarkers, creating a virtuous cycle.”
