Lynne Bowman, author of Brownies for Breakfast, makes the case that blood sugar mismanagement is the number one aging accelerator, outpacing even smoking and chronic stress. This conversation is a masterclass in using epigenetics to override what you thought was inevitable.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why genetics account for less than a third of your aging trajectory
- How blood sugar dysregulation accelerates aging at the cellular level
- Why strength training after 50 is non-negotiable for muscle, bone density, and brain health

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Lifestyle is the primary driver of how you look, feel, and function as you age
- Joy, play, and social engagement are biological necessities — not luxuries
- You can begin reversing accelerated aging at any age through consistent small changes
- Blood sugar stability may be the single most powerful anti-aging intervention available
