The Science of Ripple Effects: 4 Foundations for a Longer, Healthier Life

We often view ageing as a ticking clock—an inevitable, unchangeable countdown dictated by our DNA. But modern longevity research is completely flipping this script. Scientists now know that our genetics only account for roughly 20% of how we age.

Every habit you form creates a ripple effect throughout your biology. By understanding the core factors of healthy ageing, you can take control of your biological clock and extend not just your lifespan (how long you live), but your healthspan (how long you live free from chronic disease).

  • Insulin resistance is when insulin tells your cells that fuel is coming, but they don’t open up to receive glucose. So, sugar stays in the bloodstream, and after a while your body stores it as fat.
  • Read on to find out how intermittent fasting can fix insulin resistance. Continue reading “Reversing Insulin Resistance… with Intermittent Fasting”
