So how old are you? Not chronologically, but biologically. Dr. Samar Bursheh, an endocrinologist and owner of NutriaMed Metabolic and Lifestyle Center in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. She answers that question as we delve into the fascinating world of telomeres and their impact on our biological age.
Dr. Bursheh discusses factors that can shorten telomeres, such as chronic stress, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and environmental influences. The conversation also covers the concept of "Blue Zones" — regions in the world where people live significantly longer, healthier lives — and what we can learn from their lifestyles.
Dr. Bursheh talks about the importance of mental health, physical activity, and community support in slowing down the aging process. We emphasize the role of movement, not just exercise, in maintaining overall health and telomere length. Dr. Bursheh shares insights from her practice, including how she helps her patients adopt healthier lifestyles through medical supervision, nutrition consultations, fitness classes, and cooking classes.
