This week we explore the secrets to a longer, healthier life with our special guest, Dr. Gordon Lauc, a renowned professor of biochemistry and molecular biology. In today’s episode, we promise to transform your understanding of aging by introducing a revolutionary approach to measuring biological age through glycosylation. Unlike the familiar concept of glycation tied to sugar levels, glycosylation involves complex enzymatic processes that impact our immune system and overall health. Discover how these glycan modifications can serve as a biological clock, reflecting your lifestyle choices and even reversing biological age.
Join us as we decode the relationship between age, glycans, and disease risks. Through Dr. Lauc's extensive research involving large population studies, we reveal how inflammation-driven changes in glycans can predict serious health conditions like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and inflammatory disorders such as IBD and lupus. Understand why aging is a significant confounder in health assessments and learn how glycan changes can provide early warnings about disease risks, giving you actionable insights to modify your lifestyle and manage these risks effectively.
Finally, explore the nuances that set glycan-based tests apart from DNA methylation clocks. Don’t miss Dr. Lauc's invaluable tips on maintaining your health and reducing your biological age. Stay tuned for exclusive insights that could revolutionize your approach to aging and wellness.
