What Aging Really Is—and How to Slow It

Most people think aging is about getting older. But the truth? It’s about how fast your cells are breaking down—and you can actually slow it down. In this episode of Extend, I sit down with Chris Mirabile, longevity researcher, entrepreneur, and founder of NOVOS, to break down the science of biological aging. We unpack the 12 hallmarks of aging, what they really mean for your health, and how to take control of the root causes—starting today. You’ll learn why you might look and feel older than you are, how things like inflammation, epigenetics, and mitochondrial decline drive disease, and how to measure and improve your true biological age. This isn’t anti-aging fluff. It’s science-backed, future-facing, and practical for anyone serious about living longer and better.
