The repeating sequence of the Telomere-TTAGGG has proven to be a gold mine for determining biologic age ( how old your body is acting!) and disease prognosis ( how bad you are likely to get something) as well as the effects of stress. A recent study on the effects of racism on the telomere length […]

Today’s departure from the usual was sparked by a question sent in by one of Dr Dave’s Best newsletter readers. By the way if you are not one of them you should be since it is yet another way I keep my people up to date on all things anti-aging along with my myth busting

Drum roll and trumpets please! A new cancer causing pathway has been found. It involves telomeres of course. I bring it to your attention though, not for what it has shown us, but for how it its marketed. You see even scientists know they stand a better chance of getting recognition if they blow the

I am taking a short break and stepping off my telomere / fish oil soap box to revisit a topic that in the past was a big favorite: diet and obesity. As I mentioned in my last blog my descent and resurrection from obesity is graphically detailed on the Ultra Strength Fat Furnace page. My

For the past decade I have intermittently written about the effects of exercise on health and body composition (primarily weight loss). My own descent and resurrection from Obesity is well detailed in graphic fashion. At that time I also obtained my CPT (Personal Trainer) certificate and began what would amount to a biannual sojourn to

A recent a study published in the journal Lipids in Health and Disease my favorite topic was examined. That topic you may have guessed is the ratio of Omega 6 inflammatory fats versus Omega 3 anti-inflammatory ratio. I have harped on and on about this for many years because it is the most important measure

First let me wish the Happiest of New Years and a phenomenal 2014. I can tell you that if 2013 is any indication, 2014 will be spectacular. And speaking of 2013 I want to give you a brief perspective on this passing year from Dr Dave’s point of view both in terms of accomplishments and

Telomeres are the end segments of every chromosome that function as a biologic time clock. Their overall length and health determines how long your cells will live. Over the past few years it has become more and more common to measure telomere length in blood cells, specifically white blood cells that represent your immune system.

Science is like Molasses… it flows slowly. Ever since the 2010 human study on TA-65 was published I have been telling you about the “other half” of the data. I had access to it so I shared it with you but naturally the naysayers and skeptics said, “I’ll believe it when I see it!” So

Even though I recently released a blog that looks specifically at prostate cancer and the effect of telomere length on prognosis, I mentioned breast cancer in that blog as another form of hormonally driven cancer that shares many features behaviorally with prostate cancer. The ink on that blog had barely dried when yet another study
