#367: Telomere Health Explained: Genetics, Lifestyle Hacks, and Cutting-Edge Interventions With Nathalie Niddam
Today, we’re looking in to the fascinating world of telomeres—those tiny caps at the ends of our DNA that play a massive role in how we age. In this solo episode, I break down exactly what telomeres are, why they matter for our health and longevity, and how everything from stress, sleep, and diet to genetics can impact their length. You’ll also hear about the latest research, eye-opening real-life cases, and some cutting-edge interventions that might just help you preserve—or even lengthen—your telomeres.
I share practical, science-backed tips to help you slow down cellular aging, from lifestyle foundations like managing stress and getting restorative sleep, to exciting new supplements and therapies being explored in the longevity field. Plus, I highlight the remarkable results seen with bioregulators, the Mediterranean diet, and why staying connected with community and purpose is more powerful than you might think.
Whether you’re curious about biological versus chronological aging or just looking for empowering steps to improve your healthspan, this episode is packed with actionable insights and inspiration to help you take control of your own aging process.
