Pushing The Limits

In this fascinating first instalment of a three-part series, we dive deep into the groundbreaking world of telomere science with Dr. Bill Andrews, a pioneering researcher in the field of ageing and longevity. Known for his revolutionary work on telomeres and their role in cellular aging, Dr. Andrews shares insights into how his research is paving the way for the ultimate goal: curing aging. Dr. Andrews, the founder of Sierra Sciences, has dedicated his life to understanding the root causes of ageing at the molecular level. This episode covers the basics of telomeres, the science behind their shortening, and why maintaining telomere length is essential for longevity and disease prevention. Key Discussion Points: What Are Telomeres? Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that safeguard our genetic material during cell division. As we age, telomeres shorten, leading to cellular dysfunction and ageing. Why Telomeres Matter in Aging: Telomere shortening is a major driver of ageing and
