Episode notes
INSIGHT

Modern Life Speeds Aging

  • Modern life accelerates aging through toxins and lifestyle, shifting us faster toward disease.
  • Multiple interventions (movement, diet, environment) can push back on accelerated aging.
INSIGHT

Inflammation Connects Toxins To Disease

  • Inflammation is central to most diseases and is amplified by toxins and poor diet.
  • Disrupting gut barrier and cell communication (e.g., glyphosate) drives systemic inflammation and aging.
ADVICE

Reprogram Cells Carefully To Reverse Age

  • Use short chemical reprogramming (not full iPSC induction) to reverse cellular aging without teratoma risk.
  • Deliver compounds to the tissues you want and control dose and duration for targeted reversal.
