Epitalon and Telomeres: The “Longevity Peptide” I Tested on Myself

I recently tested my telomeres and got a number I did not expect: a telomere biological age of 30.2, against a chronological age of 50.7. In this video I break down the peptide I've been cycling, Epitalon, what the actual research says about telomeres, circadian rhythm, and longevity, and why I'm not ready to credit the peptide alone for my results. We cover: What Epitalon actually is and how it's different from most longevity peptides The telomere/telomerase science, and why it matters for longevity, not just cellular aging A 2025 independent study replicating the telomerase findings, and an important cancer-biology caveat The human data: a 75-women circadian study and a 15-year cardiovascular follow-up My actual protocol, dose, and cadence My own TruAge results, and an honest look at what I can and can't attribute to Epitalon after only 2 cycles Where the science still falls short, plus a very recent FDA regulatory update FREE Peptide & Longevity Guide: https://ellie.longevitywithkristi.com/peptide-101 This video is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice. It is not a substitute for care from a licensed physician. Any decision to explore a peptide like Epitalon belongs in a conversation with a qualified provider who knows your full health history.
