In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, Dr. James Odell explores what actually happens inside the body as we age, from changes in our cells, mitochondria, hormones, immune system, microbiome, and epigenetics to the gradual shifts that occur in our muscles, bones, cardiovascular system, and brain. You\u2019ll discover why people can age at remarkably different rates, how everyday factors such as movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, and social connection can influence the aging process, and why many age-related changes are not as inevitable as they may seem. Rather than searching for a mythical fountain of youth, this episode takes a fascinating look at the science of healthier aging\u2014and the practical choices that may help us remain stronger, more resilient, and more capable throughout life.
