Autophagy: Cellular Renewal and the Science of Antiaging

By Dr. Alfred Granite

This podcast explores the cellular mechanisms underlying aging and potential strategies to counteract them, emphasizing the growing scientific interest in life extension. It identifies key processes that deteriorate with age, such as DNA damage, telomere shortening, and loss of Proteostasis, ultimately leading to cellular dysfunction and age-related diseases. Additionally, it highlights autophagy, a crucial cellular "self-eating" process, as vital for removing damaged components, recycling energy, and preventing disease. It also details various dietary, supplemental, and lifestyle methods to boost autophagy, suggesting these interventions as promising avenues for promoting cellular health, longevity, and disease resistance, potentially revolutionizing our understanding and management of aging.
