Measuring Longevity: Latest Bio Age Research with Dr. Morgan Levine

As a longevity aficionado, I am so excited to be talking to Dr.
Morgan Levine in this episode of New Frontiers! Renowned for her
research on the science of biological aging, Dr. Levine
specifically uses bioinformatics to quantify the aging process.
She's played a vital role in developing and retraining several
well-published bio age clocks, including the PhenoAge and Horvath
clocks, making them much more reliable. Needless to say, I’m a big
fan! Morgan and I dive into the fascinating science behind her new
book, True Age: Cutting-Edge Research To Help Turn Back The Clock,
and cover loads of important topics such as vetting bio age clocks,
the role of the DNA methylome, how standard labs such as CBCs and
CMPs can be used to calculate bio age, the controversial debate
around immortality, challenges of applying the Yamanaka factors in
clinical practice, how racial disparities affect biological aging –
and believe me, so much more! I hope you’ll enjoy this thrilling
conversation as much as I did, and please give me your feedback
