What if your DNA could tell you how old your body really is?
In this episode, we explore epigenetic ageing clocks—scientific tools that estimate biological age by reading chemical marks on our DNA. These clocks are changing how researchers study aging, disease risk, and potential anti-aging therapies, but they’re not perfect. We explain why measuring age in complex tissues like blood can be misleading, how new computer and AI methods are improving accuracy, and what the future holds for more reliable “biological age” tests. This episode breaks down cutting-edge aging science in a clear, approachable way—and asks whether we can truly separate healthy aging from harmful decline.
