#467: The (Misunderstood) Plant Compound That’s Turning Back the Clock | With Nat Niddam
📍 Good news! My original Instagram is back! Please follow my original account at https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ and also my backup account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/
Today, I’m diving solo into a topic that’s truly at the heart of everything I do: longevity—specifically, how to actually feel vibrant and strong as we age, not just rack up more years on the calendar. I break down the science behind aging, the real reasons why our repair systems start to slow down, and the practical ways we can take charge, starting right now.
We’ll get into the nuts and bolts of what’s really happening inside your cells as you grow older—the hallmarks of aging, genomic instability, the crucial role of your microbiome and mitochondria, and why genes like the sirtuins and key antioxidant pathways matter so much for your healthspan. I share the latest research, new discoveries in the world of botanicals like ashwagandha, and how these cutting-edge tools might help turn back the biological clock.
If you’re curious about how to measure, track, and actually improve your markers of aging—or you want actionable steps to strengthen your foundation before things start to slip—this episode is packed with research, inspiration, and an invitation to join me on a real-time longevity experiment.
