How Fast Are You Aging? Understanding the Dunedin Pace and the Power of Epigenetics - Episode 262
Gladden Longevity Podcast -- formerly Living Beyond 120
The Science of Aging: Epigenetics and Health Insights
This chapter examines the evolution of scientific methods in understanding aging, focusing on epigenetics and DNA methylation as critical markers. It discusses the development of predictive aging clocks and their utility in assessing health risks, lifestyle impacts, and forensic applications. Additionally, the chapter highlights recent research on interventions like therapeutic plasma exchange and diet’s role in age rejuvenation.
In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden interviews Hannah Went, co-founder of TrueAge, a leading omics age company. They discuss the significance of epigenetics in understanding biological age, the predictive power of various aging clocks, and the advancements in measuring biological age through multi-omics approaches. The conversation also covers the impact of interventions like caloric restriction on aging metrics, the Dunedin Pace as a new metric for biological aging, and the complexity of aging as a multifactorial process. Went shares insights into the future of epigenetic research and the importance of actionable insights for health optimization.
