When Size Does Matter!

The length of your telomeres is one factor that impacts aging and longevity. Telomere shortening has been associated with aging and higher rates of chronic disease, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease or cancer. Researchers believe it is a critical factor in the aging process but is are shorter telomeres hereditary or caused by environmental factors?

New Research Shows Higher Levels of Testosterone May Protect Telomere Length and Slow the Signs of Aging

Telomeres protect the ends of your chromosomes, keeping them from “fraying”, allowing cells to replicate accurately. Shorter telomeres have been associated with aging and a higher rate of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, and cancer. Shorter telomeres signify biological aging. Telomerase helps protect and preserve telomeres. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol (E2) are
Anti-Aging and Telomeres Testing

You are only as old as you feel your telomeres.

DNA makes up every cell in our body and telomeres protect our DNA and every cell from damage which allows the cells to replicate correctly. As we age, cells die or become damaged which requires the surrounding cells replicate, or make new cells, replacing the aging, damaged cells. Telomeres are like the plastic ends on
