[New Episode] Biological Age: The Real Secret to Eternal Youth w/ Dr. Douglas Vaughan Get the Full Episode Here--> https://lnkd.in/gv7vaGhy They say age is just a number…and no concept drives this point home more than biological age. You see, your chronological age isn’t the same as the age of your cells. That’s why you can have people who look younger (or older) than their stated age. This has a lot to do with Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 or PAI-1. People age at different rates and there are conditions and circumstances that make some age more rapidly than others. From climate, diet, stress and genetics, there are so many factors that impact the health of our cells. Here’s the good news: how long we’ve been on the planet doesn’t have to dictate our health and wellness. There are proactive steps we can take to extend not just the span of our lives but its quality too. What is plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and how does it affect aging? Why is there a difference between chronological age and biological age? What can we learn from communities and locations that have longevity? In this episode, I’m joined by the chairman of the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University, and leader of the Potocsnak Longevity Institute, Dr. Douglas Vaughan. He talks about the strides we’ve made in understanding biological age and what we can do about it. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode -The biggest driver of biological age People’s biological age can be higher or lower than their stated chronological age. What is plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and how does it impact this? -How to slow aging Every choice we make either ages us faster or it slows down the aging process. How do we make choices that support longevity? -A convergence of scientific strides We’re in the golden age of understanding biological aging. What strides have been made to deepen our knowledge and discover interventions?
