Targeting Telomeres
from FX Medicine Podcast Central
If your telomeres could talk - what would they tell you? In today's podcast we welcome back one of our favourite guests, Dr Lise Alshuler to dive into a discussion about telomeres and their relevance in health. Telomeres are the protective caps on the ends of our chromosomes that serve to protect them from damage. Telomeres shorten as we age and their length can have an impact on our resilience and overall health. So, how can we optimise them? Can we lengthen them or prevent them from shortening in the first place? What, if any, interventions exist for this? Dr Alschuler will expertly walk you through it. *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
