Full Episode Description:
 
When you’re asked your age, how does that make you feel?  Do you feel older than your stated age number, or younger?  Aging well is healthy aging, whereby you approach the advancing years with vitality and joy, and in good spirits, with faculties intact and in holistic wellness.  Is all that even possible?  And if so, is it expensive to be on that path?
 
What is a biological age test?  Have you ever had one?  Simply, it involves taking a sample of your DNA, typically through a cheek swab, to identify how your body has ages on a cellular level.  The result is based on both your DNA traits as well as epigenetic or lifestyle choices.
 
Biological tests may not be the most accurate way to test for aging, but they do indicate how much damage has been done to your body’s tissues as they have aged.
 
There are a number of factors that can affect how you  age.  These are categorized as intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors.
Intrinsic factors include those that cannot be changed or modified, such as genetics, damage to your DNA, and the structure of your skin’s components, collagen and elastin.
Extrinsic aging, on the other hand, can be modified.   These include the environment or pollution, lifestyle choices, sun exposure, smoking, nutrition, hydration, chronic stress, loack of sleep, and others.
 
Conventional wisdom is such that in order to live a long and healthy life, all of these extrinsic factors must be addressed effectively and consistently.
 
Chris Mirabile believes that living a long and healthy life doesn’t have to be so arduous or expensive.
He emerged from a serious medical diagnosis with a drive to live a long and healthy life.  He shares how to reduce your biological age without intense commitment or breaking your budget.

Chris is actually 39 years old; that’s his chronological age.  But, if you were to ask his age, he may probably say that he has a “biological age” of 26.
 
How can that be?
He joins me today via Streamyard on the Forever FAB Podcast to discuss aging and how to beat the clock.
