About The Guest(s):
Dr. Carl Giordano is an orthopedic surgeon and spine surgeon with a background in chemistry. He is also a nutritional biochemist and has been studying the field of aging and health span for over 20 years. Dr. Giordano is the co-founder of Rebasana, a company that aims to provide comprehensive supplements to help slow down the aging process and maintain cellular identity.
Summary:
Dr. Carl Giordano discusses the importance of maintaining cellular identity to slow down the aging process. He explains that aging occurs when genes are turned on and off incorrectly in every cell, leading to a loss of cellular identity. Dr. Giordano emphasizes the importance of health span, which refers to living a healthy life for as long as possible, and how it is connected to lifespan. He also highlights the need for a shift from sick care to preventive care in the healthcare system. Dr. Giordano introduces the three main buckets that contribute to maintaining cellular identity: exercise, signal molecules, and diet. He explains that exercise affects telomere length, DNA repair, antioxidant defense, inflammation, immune function, and metabolic health. Dr. Giordano breaks down exercise into four categories: strength training, aerobic conditioning, balance function, and stretching. He emphasizes the importance of hitting all four categories to maintain overall health. Dr. Giordano then discusses the role of signal molecules, such as NMN, resveratrol, berberine, quercetin, and ostragalis, in maintaining cellular identity. He explains that these molecules work on various genetic pathways and have been shown to slow down or even reverse aspects of aging. Dr. Giordano concludes by discussing the importance of understanding the science behind aging and making informed decisions about diet, exercise, and supplementation.
