| Focusing on wrinkles, gray hairs and belly fat won’t get you to the root of what’s accelerating your aging. They are results of what’s happening on a cellular level. On my website I outline… The 5 Aging Accelerators:1. Chronic Inflammation Silent, persistent inflammation acts like a slow-burning fire in your body, damaging healthy cells and accelerating aging. This isn’t the helpful inflammation that heals a cut, but rather the ongoing, low-grade inflammation triggered by processed foods, environmental toxins, chronic infections and stress. I’ve found that reducing inflammatory triggers can significantly slow the aging process.2. Microbiome Imbalance Your gut houses trillions of bacteria that influence everything from skin health to brain function. When these bacteria fall out of balance (often due to antibiotics, stress, or poor diet), it creates a cascade of aging signals throughout your body. Dr. Krause’s research shows that restoring microbiome balance can reverse many premature aging markers.3. Chronic Stress Stress isn’t just an emotional experience—it creates physical changes that accelerate aging. Persistent stress increases cortisol, damages telomeres (the protective caps on your DNA), and impairs cellular repair. Dr. Krause has documented how effective stress management techniques can literally slow down the aging clock at the cellular level.4. Insulin Resistance Even before developing diabetes, insulin resistance silently damages your cells. When your body constantly produces high insulin levels in response to dietary sugars and refined carbs, it creates oxidative stress and glycation (where sugar molecules attach to proteins, making them stiff and dysfunctional). This process ages everything from your skin to your arteries and brain.5. Metabolic Dysfunction Your metabolism isn’t just about weight—it’s about how efficiently your cells produce energy and how easily the body brings circulation to those cells. As metabolic function declines, cellular energy production suffers, creating more oxidative damage and accelerating aging. Protocols to restore metabolic flexibility and enhance cellular energy production can effectively turning back the clock on many aging biomarkers. The good news? My investigation has shown that these accelerators can be slowed or even reversed with targeted interventions. Many people see significant improvements in their biological age markers (using TruAge diagnostic testing combined with a comprehensive metabolic panel) within just 12 weeks of addressing these factors. If you took my quiz you know which of these aging accelerators might be affecting you most. If you haven’t (click HERE to take the aging accelerator quiz). So…out of those 5 accelerators – is there anywhere you see you may have room for improvement? No judgement – we’re all on our own wellness path. Even I have a few I’m working on – Stress, Inflammation and Metabolic Dysfunction! Health isn’t a one and done thing – it’s dynamic and ever changing – getting ahead of aging is crucial if you want to maintain your independence for life! Here’s to your longevity,Dr. JP.S. I’m going live today – Tue April 1st with my new pal Danielle Pashko and we’re talking all about using Qi Gong and other martial arts to regulate your vagus nerve and rewire your nervous system – join us – 8a PST and 11a ET. P.P.S. My latest research shows that most people have at least two of these accelerators active in their body right now, often without realizing it. If you haven’t taken my aging accelerators quiz – it takes just 3 minutes and could give you insights that change how you age for decades to come. Click the button below to take the quiz now. |
