Episode 003 - The 12 Hallmarks of Aging - And Why They Matter at Any Age
You’ve probably heard of inflammation, stress, and blood sugar—but what if there’s a deeper biological framework that explains them all?
In this episode, Brandon Sojka walks you through the 12 Hallmarks of Aging—the cellular-level shifts that drive fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, inflammation, cravings, and accelerated aging. These aren’t just problems for later in life—they show up decades earlier, often as vague symptoms no one can explain.
You’ll learn why the Hallmarks are the source code of your health breakdowns, how they interact, and why solving one without understanding the others often fails. More importantly, you’ll hear how they map into The Metabolic Compass™ framework, giving you a directional way to track—and correct—early biological drift.
This episode is your decoder ring. If you’ve ever felt like something’s wrong but can’t get answers… start here.
