62. Unlocking Longevity: Peptides, Biomarkers, and the Hallmarks of Aging with Greg Jones

Dr. Greg Jones is a licensed Naturopathic Medical Doctor and earned his degree in Naturopathic Medicine with honors from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM) in Tempe, Arizona. After a 20-year career in the United States Navy, Dr. Jones pursued a career in aerospace engineering before discovering his true passion lied in Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Jones has received extensive training in regenerative injection therapy, IV nutritional therapy, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, and peptide therapy. Dr. Jones’s goal for every patient is optimal health, energy, and happiness.

Along with Dr. Jones, we’re exploring aging in this episode. We explain the distinction between lifespan and healthspan, emphasizing the latter's importance for a quality life. Dr. Jones shares insights into various aging theories, including genetic predispositions and mitochondrial dysfunction, offering advice for influencing our aging journey through personalized interventions. We also discuss the potential of peptide therapies, such as GHK-Cu and mitochondrial peptides, in promoting healthy aging and combating oxidative stress. Throughout the talk, we highlight the significance of understanding biomarkers and intervention strategies to track and enhance longevity.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• How Dr. Jones differentiates between lifespan and healthspan in aging.

• Why focusing on healthspan is more beneficial than just extending lifespan.

• How genetic predispositions and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to the aging process.

• Why Dr. Jones strongly believes lifestyle adjustments can influence aging.

• How biomarkers and intervention strategies can combat aging's hallmarks.

• Why understanding immune dysfunction and neuroendocrine decline is vital in aging.

• How peptide therapies, like GHK-Cu and SS-31, promote longevity.

• Why monitoring oxidative stress and DNA damage is crucial for cellular health.

• How methylation and telomere testing provide insights into cellular aging.

• Why NAD and mitochondrial peptides are essential for healthier aging.

• How lifestyle choices impact inflammation and cellular senescence.

• Why personalized health strategies can extend healthspan effectively.

• How emerging treatments and therapies offer hope for healthier aging.

• Why sourcing peptides from reputable providers ensures safe and effective treatment.
