  • 07 Can You Escape Aging?

    Welcome to the Human Longevity Podcast, hosted by Dr. Melissa Petersen. In this episode, we delve into the fascinating concept of longevity escape velocity, the possibility of escaping the aging process. Aging is a continuous phenomenon that begins from the moment of conception. Our bodies operate on a metabolic level, constantly building up and breaking down to meet the demands of life. However, is it possible to slow down aging and enhance vitality and energy at any age? Let's explore this topic together.

  • 05: Epigenetics of Longevity

    Do you know about the science of epigenetics?  It studies how our DNA is signaled by the environment.  In this week's episode, you will discover how 75-90% of the epigenetic signals that influence and inform our genetic expression and impact our rate and speed of biological aging are lifestyle driven. This is a game changer because it actively puts you in control of optimizing your health. Learn the 4 quickest ways you can begin to shift how your DNA is expressed to reverse age for enhanced health and wellbeing.  Your genes are not your destiny, tune in to this episode to learn more and become the architect of your longevity living potential today.

  • 01: Biological Age- What is it, why does it matter and how to find out yours

    Biological age, what is it, why does it matter and how can you find out yours? This is what we take a deep dive into on today's episode. 

    If you have ever wondered why one person can look, act and seem younger or older than their chronological age, it's this very process called biological age. Get ready to understand the difference, and if and how it correlates to your length and quality of life.  Join Dr. Melissa Petersen, the Founder of the Human Longevity Institute in this episode to discover what biological age is, how is it different from chronological age, why it matters to our health and longevity, how you can find out yours and a few simple ways to begin to age in reverse.
