We're back!!! And we're here to talk about GETTING OLD!
We often hear people say something along the lines of, “I feel like once I turned 60, everything went downhill.” Or “It feels like all of a sudden in my mid-40s, I am falling apart.” Does this sound familiar?
Historically, as physicians, Your Doctor Friends generally reassure those folks that it's all a coincidence and they weren’t rapidly deteriorating.
But what if there are times when we actually "fall apart"? Like on a biological level??
Perhaps you've come across a few of the headlines from major news outlets, with titles like:
Research shows our bodies go through rapid changes in our 40s and our 60s - from NBC News.
Feeling old? Your molecules change rapidly around ages 44 and 60 - from The Washington Post.
Scientists find humans age dramatically in two bursts – at 44, then 60 - from The Guardian.
What if you wanted the unfiltered data about aging, straight from the source??
Cue Dr. Michael Snyder, chair of Genetics at Stanford University, talking about HIS recent study, published by HIS lab, showing two distinct times in our lives in which we may age “faster.”
So... when we say that all of a sudden we feel like we are falling apart, we may actually be right. Woof.
Stay with us today as we talk to Dr. Snyder about when this aging happens, why it happens and perhaps most importantly, are there ways we can avoid these rapid aging moments?
