Welcome back to the second part of the Aevum Labs Series on Immune Health!

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, founder of the Boulder Longevity Institute, to explore the fascinating world of immunosenescence—the ageing of the immune system—and its connection to inflammaging, chronic inflammation that accelerates aging. Dr. Yurth explains how the decline of our immune system not only affects our resilience to infections but also plays a pivotal role in the development of chronic diseases, neurodegeneration, and overall cellular decline.

We dive into how gut health, immune health, and cellular health are deeply interconnected, with 70–80% of our immune system residing in and around the gut. Learn how chronic systemic inflammation and gut permeability can break down your immune defenses and how you can turn back the clock on immune ageing.

We also introduce our exciting new product developed in conjunction with Dr Yurth as a scientific advisor, from Aevum Labs—Rejuvenate—which is specifically designed to target immune decline, support cellular health, and reduce chronic inflammation. Dr. Yurth explains how the ingredients in Rejuvenate help restore immune vitality, protect brain health, and improve gut barrier integrity.

Key Topics Discussed:

• What is immunosenescence? Understanding how and why our immune system declines with age.

• The link between chronic systemic inflammation (inflammaging) and ageing—why targeting inflammation is essential for longevity.

• The gut-immune connection: Why 70–80% of your immune system resides in the gut and how gut health affects brain health and systemic inflammation.

• Practical strategies to combat immune aging, from diet and lifestyle interventions to cutting-edge supplements.

In this fascinating first instalment of a three-part series, we dive deep into the groundbreaking world of telomere science with Dr. Bill Andrews, a pioneering researcher in the field of ageing and longevity. Known for his revolutionary work on telomeres and their role in cellular aging, Dr. Andrews shares insights into how his research is paving the way for the ultimate goal: curing aging.

Dr. Andrews, the founder of Sierra Sciences, has dedicated his life to understanding the root causes of ageing at the molecular level. This episode covers the basics of telomeres, the science behind their shortening, and why maintaining telomere length is essential for longevity and disease prevention.

Key Discussion Points:

1. What Are Telomeres?

   • Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that safeguard our genetic material during cell division.

   • As we age, telomeres shorten, leading to cellular dysfunction and ageing.

2. Why Telomeres Matter in Aging:

   • Telomere shortening is a major driver of ageing and age-related diseases.

   • Dr. Andrews explains the link between telomeres and cellular senescence, inflammation, and chronic illnesses.

3. Dr. Bill Andrews' Mission:

   • The story behind Sierra Sciences, a biotechnology company dedicated to discovering drugs that activate the telomerase enzyme.

   • Telomerase can rebuild and lengthen telomeres, potentially reversing cellular aging.

4. The Science of Telomerase Activation:

   • Current progress in identifying compounds that safely activate telomerase.

   • Challenges and breakthroughs in the quest to develop anti-ageing therapies.

5. Ethics and Implications of Curing Aging:

   • Dr. Andrews discusses the societal, ethical, and philosophical implications of extending human lifespan.

   • Addressing misconceptions about anti-ageing science.

What You Will Learn:

• The fundamental role of telomeres in ageing and disease.

• How telomerase activation could revolutionise health and longevity.

• The current state of telomere research and its future potential.

• The challenges and ethical questions surrounding anti-ageing technologies.

Don’t miss the next episode in this series, where Dr. Andrews delves deeper into telomerase activation and the latest breakthroughs in curing aging. Subscribe to "Pushing the Limits" and share this episode with anyone passionate about health, science, and longevity!

Bio:

Dr. Bill Andrews is a molecular biologist, inventor, and renowned expert in the field of telomere science. He has over three decades of experience in biotech, including significant contributions to telomerase research. Dr. Andrews holds over 50 U.S. patents related to telomerase activation and has authored numerous scientific papers. Through his work at Sierra Sciences, he aims to unlock the secrets of human longevity and help people live healthier, longer lives.

As a scientist, athlete, and executive, Bill continually pushes the envelope and challenges convention. He has been featured in Popular Science, The Today Show, and numerous documentaries on the topic of life extension including, most recently, the movie The Immortalists in which he co-stars with Dr. Aubrey de Grey. 

Bill has been a medical researcher in biotech since 1981, focusing on cancer, heart disease, and inflammation research, though his passion has always been ageing. In the early-to-mid 1990s, while at Geron Corporation, Bill led the research to discover both the RNA and protein components of the human enzyme called telomerase. This enzyme is responsible for preventing telomeres from shortening in human reproductive cells, and this is why our children are born younger than we are even though they come from our old cells. Inducing this enzyme to lengthen telomeres in all our cells, not just our reproductive cells, to reverse aging and declining health due to aging, is the principal goal of Sierra Sciences and Sierra Holdings.
