    Live Longer by Activating Your Body's Anti-Aging Gene, with Dr. Bill Andrews

    What if the key to living for over 125 years is already inside you, just waiting to be turned on? Every cell in your body has a built-in aging clock that's ticking down with each passing day. But here's the surprising part: you have a gene that could slow or even reverse that clock, and it's been deliberately shut off. In this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews, a molecular biologist and longevity researcher who discovered the human telomerase enzyme, explains why your telomeres shorten as you age and how activating your body's dormant anti-aging gene could extend both your lifespan and healthspan. If you want to understand the real science behind aging and what you can actually do about it, this conversation reveals breakthrough research that might just change everything you thought you knew about getting older.

    How Orgasms Could Add Years to Your Life, with Dr. Diane Mueller

    You may do intermittent fasting, optimize your diet, take your supplements, and prioritize sleep. But there's one powerful longevity tool that almost no one in the wellness space is talking about.
