DNA Damage and Aging: Understanding Genomic Instability

This lecture explores genomic instability, the first major hallmark of aging. Learn how your DNA faces over 70,000 daily attacks from both internal processes and external factors like UV radiation and pollution. We'll cover why DNA damage accelerates aging, the role of free radicals and genotoxins, and most importantly, what you can do about it. Discover practical strategies including antioxidant support, cold plunge therapy for DNA repair through cold shock proteins, and how lifestyle choices impact your cellular aging process. Whether you're a health practitioner or simply interested in longevity science, this video breaks down the complex mechanisms of DNA damage and genomic maintenance in an accessible way. Learn functional longevity strategies from Dr. Datis Kharrazian. Discover how to use personalized nutrition, diet, and lifestyle approaches to optimize healthspan.
