What Are Telomeres and Why Should You Care?
Telomeres are the protective caps on our chromosomes that shorten as we age, signaling the biological aging process. But did you know that you can slow down this process?
In this episode, Dr. Wahls explains how chronic inflammation and oxidative stress contribute to telomere shortening, and how modifying your diet, exercise routine, and even stress management techniques can protect and repair these vital structures.

Dr. Wahls reveals practical tips for boosting your longevity, including fasting, ketogenic eating, and exposure to red light therapy. These powerful strategies can help reduce cellular aging, regenerate mitochondria, and enhance your overall health. Whether you’re dealing with chronic disease or simply looking to age gracefully, this episode is packed with actionable advice.
