Steve Horvath, a expert in methylation, epigenetics, and longevity, discusses the overlooked role of epigenetics in health and lifespan, using methylation patterns to predict lifespan, and the significance of GrimAge for reducing early mortality. The podcast explores genetics, moderate lifestyle choices, and the Horvath aging clock's importance in longevity research and biohacking communities.

Join Steve Horvath, a renowned geneticist and inventor of the Horvath Clock, as he discusses groundbreaking advances in epigenetics. He explores how DNA methylation can predict biological age and health risks. Discover the complexities of measuring aging and how unique methylation landscapes in long-lived species reveal new insights. Steve also touches on exciting anti-aging research at Altos Labs and the potential of GLP-1 drugs to revolutionize aging interventions. It's a fascinating glimpse into the future of age-related health!

Dr. Steve Horvath, a UCLA genetics expert, discusses groundbreaking advances in epigenetic aging. He explains how his Horvath Aging Clock predicts biological age and lifespan through DNA methylation. The conversation delves into the differences between PhenoAge and GrimAge clocks, offering insights into genetic factors influencing aging. He reveals that vitamin D may reverse epigenetic age, while omega-3 could slow the GrimAge clock. With ongoing research, Horvath highlights exciting potential interventions aimed at extending healthspan.
