Episode description as stored

What if aging isn’t inevitable, but a process we can slow—or even reverse? In this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews , geneticist and founder of Sierra Sciences , unpacks the science of telomeres, the protective caps on our chromosomes that shorten as cells divide. He explains how telomerase, an enzyme he helped discover, can lengthen telomeres and restore youthful cellular function, challenging long-held assumptions about aging and cancer. Dr. Andrews shares his journey from early scientific breakthroughs to today’s cutting-edge gene therapy and nutraceutical research, highlighting his belief that cures for aging could be within reach with sufficient funding. From practical lifestyle tips to his personal ultra-marathon routine, this conversation blends groundbreaking science with everyday strategies for living longer, healthier lives.
