Topic Details
In this seminar, you'll learn how to accurately track the aging process and determine whether your interventions are truly making an impact. We will explore how markers such as FSH provide a ticker-tape readout of biological aging- and how targeted strategies can help shift those markers towards a more youthful profile.
We will take a deep dive into:
* Sex steroids hormones and the key nutrients required for their optimal functions* The critical communication between the microbiome, gut SigA, and the endocrine system
* How hippocampal volume influences cognitive aging - and why it's one "waistline" you want to increase
We'll also examine the evidence behind "aging gracefully" and discuss whether this approach truly works. You'll learn how exercise, meditation, and lifestyle intervention affect hippocampal volume and overall longevity.
By the end of this session, you'll know which laboratory tests are essential for tracking biological age and how to apply them clinically - ensuring that anti-aging isn't just a slogan, but a measurable reality.
