Unlocking the Science of Aging: How to Eliminate ‘Zombie Cells’ for Longevity and Vitality | Dr Gregory Kelly
High Performance Health
The Impact of Zombie Cells on Aging
This chapter explores senescent cells, or 'zombie cells,' which resist apoptosis and contribute to age-related health issues through inflammation and resource depletion. It contrasts these cells with cancer cells and discusses the effects of stress on cellular health and longevity.
Angela presents the second of a two part conversation with Dr Gregory Kelly, in which they discuss the intriguing topic of senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie cells." These cells accumulate with age, resist apoptosis, and contribute to inflammation, negatively impacting overall health and vitality.
Dr. Kelly explains the mechanisms behind cellular senescence and introduces the concept of senolytics—compounds designed to help clear these dysfunctional cells from the body
