Longevity & The 12 Hallmarks of Aging: Why Conventional Medicine Gets It Wrong | Dr Ash Kapoor
High Performance Health
Detox first: gut and liver as foundations
Dr Kapoor outlines starting with gut and liver detox to clear tissue toxins before repair and renewal.
Angela talks to Dr. Ash Kapoor, a longevity specialist and cellular health expert, who shares his approach to health that focuses on understanding and addressing the root causes of disease and aging, particularly through the lens of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging.
Dr. Kapoor talks about the fact that true longevity is not just about extending lifespan, but about maximising independence, purposefulness, and fulfilment, explaining that modern stress depletes the body's primary energy source (ATP), forcing it to steal from the immune, hormonal, and nervous systems
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Longevity Redefined: True longevity is defined not merely by living longer, but by being independent, purposeful, and pursuing fulfilment until an achievable age of 123.
- The Root Cause of Decline: All 126,000 known diseases can be traced back to the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, a breakdown in the body's cellular systems that is often driven by chronic modern stress
- A Strategy for Optimisation: Dr. Kapoor's approach involves a multi-stage strategy of detoxifying (cleaning the liver and gut), repairing (restoring hormones and nutrients, and re-establishing circadian rhythm), and renewing the body's cellular environment
- The Power of Inner Energy: The core problem is operating on stress-based energy (like cortisol and immune/hormonal reserves) instead of the primary mitochondrial energy (ATP)
