In this episode, I take a closer look at something most of us accept without question. I feel more tired, I recover more slowly, my numbers start to shift—and I’m told, “that’s just aging.” But what if that explanation is missing the most important part?
I break down the science that’s changing how we understand aging entirely. Not as a single, inevitable decline—but as a set of specific biological processes that can be measured, tracked, and in some cases, slowed or even reversed.
I walk through the twelve hallmarks of aging—the actual mechanisms happening inside my cells—and what the research says I can do about each one. From inflammation and mitochondrial function to gut health and cellular repair, this isn’t theory anymore. These are processes I can influence with what I do every day.
I also explore one of the biggest debates in medicine right now: is aging a disease… or something else entirely? And more importantly, does that distinction even matter for how I live my life?
This episode changed the way I think about getting older.
Because aging isn’t just something that happens to me—it’s something I’m participating in, whether I realize it or not.Dr. Marbas Substack: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/
