What If Your Doctor Is Wrong About Aging?

In this episode, I take a closer look at something most of us accept without question. I feel more tired, I recover more slowly, my numbers start to shift—and I’m told, “that’s just aging.” But what if that explanation is missing the most important part?I break down the science that’s changing how we understand aging entirely. Not as a single, inevitable decline—but as a set of specific biological processes that can be measured, tracked, and in some cases, slowed or even reversed.I walk through the twelve hallmarks of aging—the actual mechanisms happening inside my cells—and what the research says I can do about each one. From inflammation and mitochondrial function to gut health and cellular repair, this isn’t theory anymore. These are processes I can influence with what I do every day.I also explore one of the biggest debates in medicine right now: is aging a disease… or something else entirely? And more importantly, does that distinction even matter for how I live my life?This episode changed the way I think about getting older.Because aging isn’t just something that happens to me—it’s something I’m participating in, whether I realize it or not.Dr. Marbas Substack: https://drlauriemarbas.substack.com/A Big Thank You To Our Sponsors:If you want the best supplement to help you on your plant-based journey, you have to try Complement: https://lovecomplement.com/?aff=62 Get full access to The Habit Healers at drlauriemarbas.substack.com/subscribe
