Today, I am delighted to have the privilege of embarking on a journey through scientific discovery and the secrets that shape our existence with the esteemed Dr. Morgan Levine!\nDr. Levine is an assistant professor of pathology at Yale University School of Medicine, where she stands at the forefront of a groundbreaking exploration into the enigma of biological aging. Armed with the tools of bioinformatics, she has unraveled the intricacies of aging, deciphering its code. She is the author of the book True Age, and her insights have enlightened those fortunate enough to peruse its pages!\xa0\nOur discussion delves into the recesses of Dr. Levine\u2019s profound expertise, exploring the domains of biologic aging and epigenetics, unlocking the mysteries of cellular senescence, revealing the connections between lifestyle and longevity, and unearthing the reasons behind aging being considered a veritable disease state. We navigate the landscape of gender-specific aging research, gene influence exemplified by APOE, and the intriguing permanence of our youthful fat cells. We also get into the efficacy of blue zones and hormesis and the importance of exercise and sleep optimization.\xa0\nToday\u2019s conversation with Dr. Levine promises a symphony of insight and discovery! Join us as we traverse the landscapes of longevity, epigenetics, and the science that might one day render age no more than a number.\n\nIN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:\n\nHow Dr. Morgan became interested in epigenetics.\n\nWhat telomeres are, and how aging impacts them.\n\nWhy should aging be treated as a disease state?\n\nHow taking probiotics can improve longevity.\n\nWhat can we do to slow the aging process?\n\nHow can we reduce our risk of dementia?\n\nIntermittent fasting and weight loss.\n\nThe role of exercise in preventing sarcopenia and muscle loss with aging.\n\nHow do exercise and sleep impact our brains?\n\nThe effects of being disconnected from our natural circadian rhythm.\n\n\nConnect with Cynthia Thurlow\nFollow on Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s website\nSubmit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com\n\nConnect with Dr. Morgan Levine\nOn Twitter\nOn Instagram\n\nDr. Levine\u2019s book\nTrue Age: Cutting-Edge Research to Help Turn Back the Clock
