You may have heard me talking lately about how I've been enjoying an evening cocktail comprised of ketones instead of alcohol. This drink is a shockingly close equivalent to both the taste and effect of popular drinks like Gin & Tonic, Moscow Mule, Pina Colada, etc., but without any toxic side effects of alcohol (while I have no problem with a glass or two of organic, biodynamic red wine or a healthy cocktail here and there, it's been really nice to have a tasty alternative).

Senolytics is a term used to describe ingredients shown to help decrease these damaging senescent cells. My guest on this show...

Your body doesn't know what it doesn't know.

Certain supplements and chemicals can also make you age faster because they interfere with your natural biological processes, tempor...
