Throughout their conversation, Gregory simplifies the complex process of cellular senescence, and offers his expert insight on what we can do to support our healthiest selves as we get older. After listening to the discussion, you’ll understand how aging occurs, certain compounds to support our body’s natural elimination of senescent cells, and what you can do now to support your mind and body as you age.
