Angela presents the second of a two part conversation with Dr Gregory Kelly, in which they discuss the intriguing topic of senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie cells." These cells accumulate with age, resist apoptosis, and contribute to inflammation, negatively impacting overall health and vitality.

Dr. Kelly explains the mechanisms behind cellular senescence and introduces the concept of senolytics—compounds designed to help clear these dysfunctional cells from the body

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Senescent cells, often referred to as "zombie cells," resist apoptosis (cell death) and accumulate with aging. They do not contribute to bodily functions and instead release inflammatory compounds that can lead to various age-related health issues.

• Senolytic compounds are designed to help clear out senescent cells from the body. By periodically taking these compounds, individuals can promote cellular health and potentially improve energy levels, joint comfort, and overall vitality.

• The process of using senolytics can be likened to pruning yellow leaves from a plant. Just as removing unhealthy leaves allows for new growth, clearing out senescent cells can help rejuvenate tissues and promote healthier cellular function.

• It is suggested that individuals start considering senolytics around the age of 40, especially if they have experienced significant stress or health issues. Younger individuals may not need to use them as frequently, while older adults may benefit more from regular use.

BEST MOMENTS

"Senescent cells resist cell death, are unrepairable, and secrete inflammatory compounds, contributing to aging and various health issues." 

"If exercise was a pill, everyone would take it because it stimulates autophagy and helps slow the accumulation of senescent cells." 

"Senolytics are compounds that can finally get a senescent cell to change its mind and go through this falling off process." 

"If we want a different result than our parents or grandparents, we have to start doing more and start doing it younger."
