How young are we really, on a cellular level? This week we are joined by Chris Mirabile, a brain tumor survivor and the visionary CEO of Novos, shares his journey of significantly reducing his biological age. In full disclosure, I am a scientific advisor to NOVOS but I only affiliate with those companies that I believe in. Chris discusses the difference between chronological and biological age and learn how advanced epigenetic tests can offer insights into your health and longevity. We go through the evolution of epigenetic clocks, from Steve Horvath's groundbreaking research to the sophisticated tools we have today. These third-generation clocks provide the most accurate assessments, incorporating factors like gait speed and quality of life metrics, and Chris also reveals an exciting initiative from Novos offering a free biological age test based on survey data.

We explore the progression of biological aging research, discussing how these assessments can measure the pace of aging and predict morbidity and mortality risks. Chris elaborates on second-generation clocks like PhenoAge and GrimAge and introduces the Dunedin Pace Clock, which highlights the impact of lifestyle on aging. Look forward to potential fourth-generation clocks that aim to integrate multiple biological markers for even more comprehensive health predictions. Our conversation emphasizes the power of lifestyle changes and personalized interventions in slowing the aging process, underscoring that aging is influenced more by lifestyle and environment than by genetics.

Empower yourself with the knowledge that aging is an elastic process. Chris shares practical advice for adopting healthier habits and mindsets to improve your life quality and longevity. He emphasizes the importance of a positive mindset and affordable lifestyle changes over expensive treatments. Don't miss out on these insights to maximize your potential for anti-aging and lead a healthier, longer life.
