Taking telomerase activators appears to have not increased my objective telomere length as I’ve become older
My physiological age is…30?
The results of my Physioage test are in and according to the composite model, I am 20 years younger
Telomere length variation suggest bad players in the mix
Over time, the dutiful and dysfunctional stem cells die off but others, like the Mafia capos or career politicians, become unable to kill themselves so they persist and cause problems while still lengthening their telomres.
Sex associated with longer telomeres in women
In a 2017 study of 129 mothers, researchers at UCSF found that having sexual intercourse was associated with longer telomeres, which are associated with better health and increased longevity.
Telomerase activators do not trump the natural pruning of length
I have noted that over the last nine years, taking telomerase activators in my patients can lead to increases but that this does not result in continuous lengthening. Now, we understand why this is the case.
