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.
That's where Dr. Elizabeth Yurth comes in—guiding us through aging research with her knowledgeable insights. In today’s episode, we discuss anti-aging medicine, the pitfalls of research bias, and the gender discrepancies that muddy the waters of scientific studies. With a nod to John Ioannidis' work, we talk about the need for validating scientific claims. When theory meets practice, the truth can be surprising. We share firsthand experiences from clinical work, revealing how animal studies fare once they reach the human testing ground.

My guest, Dr. Suzanne Turner is the perfect doctor to talk with us about conventional and functional testing options, the suite of labs she prefers to run and what ranges she uses in her practice. She also dives into debunking cholesterol myths, how and where epigenetics fit in and of course, she’s not leaving the conversation without us discussing peptides, specifically AT1001 (Larazotide). If you have celiac, gluten sensitivity or leaky gut, this cutting-edge compound is something you may want to consider.
