Epigenetic Clocks for Testing Your Biological Age
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 вер 2024
- Epigenetic clocks have become established as robust measures of chronological age, surpassing telomere length as the best age predictor. In addition to predicting time-to-death, epigenetic clocks also appear to foretell healthspan indicators, such as cognitive decline, frailty, arthritis, and the progression of diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Just finished reading the copy of How not to Age you signed for me at Vegan Campout. I learned so much and am super motivated to implement this knowledge! Thank you so much for your invaluable work making this lifestyle science accessible for the layperson. I don't think people appreciate how hard that could be, and how well you execute it in your books. Really fantastic stuff ❤❤
I'm still slowly reading through "how not to age". I'm slowed by trying to put into practice many of the suggestions and see how it effects me. Really like the background!! Dr. Greger looks so healthy. Keep up the good work 🎉
Thanks Michael! I have just received ‘How not to Age’ and having just got started I already feel this is a great book. I have downloaded the App which at first glance looks good too. Combined with your YT channel you’ve hit a Home Run in my opinion.
Thanks again
Another great video from the good Doctor Greger but whats with all the bot comments? 🤔
It's a problem of UA-cam. Every Video has it. And when you are early you will see them.
Probably not as many bots as it seems. I have made many comments simply saying "great video!" or "really liked this" and folks would reply saying i was a bot. Which made me feel bad. I'm no bot, maybe just a bit unimaginative sometimes guess 😂
@@KissyKat I can see where you're coming from and a generic "great video" is one thing. However I'm referring to the 5 ones at the bottom that clearly don't fit. Aside from standing out they look to be cut from the same cloth so to speak in how they're constructed. 🤔
@@skeletorthegentleman6603 You know after I made my reply to your comment I googled why bots were bad. That was eye opening. Not sure how UA-cam can weed them out.But i'm glad they're trying.
@@KissyKat The type of bot currently plaguing YT are those that post generic or copied real comments and have an erotic profile picture to try to get gullible thirsty men to click through to their profile, presumably to be further directed towards some type of scam site from there.
I love this channel!
We measure age on mental and physical debility -which is primarily determined by lifestyle. Weak muscles for instance are mostly the result of either lack of use or neurologic trauma from injury or stroke.
Dr Gerber 2024!! Fixed my gut and metabolism by following your advice in the 3 books I bought Early this year!!
Thanks!!
I don't understand how the methylation can be both a reliable predictor of chronological age and a reliable measure of biological age. Are there 2 different patterns of methylation, one for chronological and one for biological age?
Sounds funny hey. I think this actually was because as predictor they can tell if someone is old or young chronologically generally but all the cell timers if you like will be your biologically age. So really it always tells your biological age.
Please can you give a review about the huge benefits of Pycnogenol?
Fascinating
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing
When there will be an Italian version of the book?
Are you going to post about how to slow or reverse your Epi clock/age?
Can you recommend a testing service for epigenetic? Do you think all are trustworthy?
Dr Greger never actually recommends services or products. The only few times he's ever mentioned brand names was when they were included into the trial data he's reporting on. This is how he can stay completely transparent and above board.
I googled around, there are several services, they tend to cost $250 or more per test, and prefer to guide you into a subscription so you are testing every few months. Nice, if you have the money. Also found some reviews but not sure which to trust. I could imagine doing it once out of curiousity. But for now, I'm sticking to WFPB, optimizing using cronometer, regular exercise, and other best practices.
How reliable are they ?
Very
Just keep eating plants, exercising, and sleeping. Second guessing Type I errors can just drive you nuts.
WFPB, diet rich in sulforaphane, Socializing, sleeping 8h, exercising which includes both HITT and strenght training, driving an EV to contribute to less de novo mutations from ENV, avoiding stress by deep breathing and lots or learning will set you up for a long life. Also always looking for to include into your diet what suppresses oncogenes and promotes tumor suppressor genes|expression of these genes. This is the real way of slowing down the biological clock.
5:26 dr., please tell us how we can improve our e.g.a.
wow where do I get me one of these clocks ?? ♥
The timers are in every cell of your body.
Curious. Where would one check their epigenetic age--is there a vendor that performs the horvath-compendium-methylation-assessment-alchemy? And, is it a procedure covered by insurance or is this an adventure in out-of-pocket for the well-paid-well-to-do?
The TruAge Complete test is the recommended biological aging test from what I've seen. Unsure how it works with insurance
Спасибо!🤎🧡💛

This is old news.
Not for everyone
Doesn't all have to be brand new info, it just has to be informative.
Took me way too long for this to register-need more coffee.
Most people in the public haven’t heard even of epigenetics.
@@CRM-114 i like word play. i will always believe u do to.
(Min. 3:57 invesitagors instead of investigators). Thanks for the information.
