Creator description · original textText language: English
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
