The Hallmarks of Ageing | Seriously Funny Wellbeing - Episode 4

In this episode, Homer and Dr. Ross dive into the wild world of health and aging, mixing laughs with some seriously good advice. They kick things off by busting the myth of artificial sweeteners, revealing their sneaky ways of messing with your heart.

Then, they geek out over the future of medicine with micro patch therapy – imagine sticking on a patch to get your meds and health updates, just like magic! The conversation takes a gut-wrenching turn (pun intended) as they explore the surprising link between gut health and Parkinson's disease.

Plant-based diets get their spotlight, with the duo emphasizing their importance for overall wellness. But the main attraction is the "Five Hallmarks of Aging" – DNA damage, protein dysfunction, cellular senescence, mitochondrial issues, and those pesky aging cells. Each one is like a supervillain in the epic saga of getting older, and Homer and Dr. Ross discuss how we can fight back.

Other hot topics include osteopenia and how to manage it, the keto diet craze, and the essential role of a balanced diet packed with fruits and veggies. They wrap things up with a friendly reminder: focus on what you should eat, not what you shouldn't.

Tune in for a rollercoaster of health tips, science, and a lot of laughs!
