“At the same time, mitochondrial biogenesis increases, and reactive oxygen species and inflammatory cytokines decrease. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses how the body adapts to a ketogenic diet and the possible impacts on age-related chronic diseases.”

“These findings suggest that the progression of aging and related diseases is marked by distinct phases at specific ages. Some lifestyle behaviors can delay the changes that drive aging. Learn more about these powerful habits in this episode featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“Still, if these findings are confirmed in broader studies and intervention trials, aging tests such as DunedinPACE could become useful tools for tracking how lifestyle and other preventive strategies relate to long-term aging and disease risk. In episode #62, Dr. Steve Horvath discusses epigenetic aging clocks and their use in predicting biological aging and healthspan.”

“In a related study, researchers found that menopause-related sleep disorders, such as insomnia or poor sleep quality, contribute to the accelerated aging associated with menopause. Learn more about accelerated epigenetic aging in this episode featuring Dr. Steve Horvath.”

“Senescent cells often release inflammatory proteins that can damage neighboring healthy cells. Understanding the genetic and epigenetic bases of cellular senescence is instrumental in developing interventions to slow aging.”

“How well (and how quickly) we age depends on a confluence of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Some lifestyle behaviors, such as alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, elicit harmful effects on multiple body systems that can accumulate over time to modulate aging.”

“The study involved 84 adults with HIV-associated lipohypertrophy—a condition marked by excess abdominal fat and faster biological aging. Participants received weekly semaglutide injections or a placebo for 32 weeks.”

“This slow aging translated to roughly one additional year of life. Higher intakes of vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, and whole grains were associated with slower aging, while higher intakes of red and processed meat and sodium were associated with faster aging.”

“FTA: > New research suggests that signs of brain aging can be postponed in mice if placed on a high-fat diet. In the long term, this opens the possibility of treatment of children suffering from premature aging and patients with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.”

“Scientists use a variety of means to gauge biological age, including methylation markers, gray matter volume, and facial aging. Findings from a recent study suggest that retinas provide useful biomarkers in determining a person's biological age.”
