Lyt til Unlock Longevity

In this special edition of the Longevity Podcast, Professor Fabrizio d'Adda di Fagagna, a leading expert in DNA damage response, shares groundbreaking insights into the science of aging. He explores how DNA damage, especially in telomeres, leads to cellular senescence, chronic inflammation, and age-related diseases. Professor Di Fagagna explains the complex mechanisms behind telomere shortening and its implications for aging, offering a new perspective on how understanding DNA integrity could shape future treatments for age-related conditions.

Starting a fitness journey is one of the most challenging things we can do.  There are obstacles, excuses and setbacks that many find overwhelming.  Shebah Carfagna, a single mother of an autistic child, knew she had to be strong to confront the challenges she faced – not only for the sake of her son, but her own wellbeing. Pre-dawn workouts and a lifetime of learning led to a career in fitness, with movement at its core. The co-founder of Ageless Workout, a Miami-based health and wellness company, Shebah now empowers others to live their best lives.

Choosing the most appropriate supplementation for optimum health and longevity can be a perplexing process. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant which is important to maintain the immune system and cellular health. It is found in many foods but do our diets provide enough for our needs?   Dr. Barrie Tan is a leading expert on vitamin E.  A biochemist, he is the President of American River Nutrition, a natural health research and development company, located in Hadley, Massachusetts, and a longtime researcher into the health benefits from a form of the vitamin called tocotrienol.

The search for the Fountain of Youth has intrigued and challenged scientists for centuries. Now, longevity is a buzzword – a multi-billion dollar industry with myriad interventions that could help us live longer and better. But are we any closer to fully understanding what it takes to extend healthy lifespan or healthspan? Nicklas Brendborg is a biotechnology researcher and the author of Jellyfish Age Backwards: Nature’s Secrets to Longevity. The Copenhagen-based PhD student explores, with a critical eye, some of the fundamental questions related to aging science and mankind’s quest to push the boundaries of healthy living. In this LLAMA podcast, with Peter Bowes, Nicklas explains how some animals have already achieved immortality and why the mechanisms behind aging continue to challenge researchers.

In this podcast Professor Alejandro Ocampo, who coordinates remarkable research projects to develop next generation anti-aging therapies based on cellular reprogramming, and Dr Alban Longchamp Head of Vascular Surgery Department at CHUV explore and get answers on aging research and anti-aging therapies both from a science and a medical point of view.
