Imagine having energy and vitality right up to the very end. Imagine not ending up frail, decrepit, or unable to bring your body back to balance because you didn’t think it—aging—would happen to you? This week Dr. Andrew Steele is on the show to discuss his new book, "Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old" and the exciting new scientific discoveries that address what he calls "the greatest humanitarian issue of our time."  In this episode you will learn what aging actually is, and how scientists are studying every aspect of the body - DNA, mitochondria, senescent cells, stem cells, our immune systems, even longevity genes to help increase the lifespan of animals tenfold - all in an effort to forestall or even reverse our decline.  Episode Links IG @andrewjsteele YouTube @AndrewSteele Twitter @statto Get the book "Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old" López-Otín C, Blasco MA, Partridge L, Serrano M, Kroemer G.
