eating in some way, whether that's meals or kind of snacking.

And it basically puts what I call metabolic stress on our bodies because our bodies are not getting a chance to kind of recover.

So essentially, basically when you're eating, your body's growing.

But when lots of you are not eating, that's when your body has a chance to repair.

And for too many of us, we're placing this stress on our bodies because our bodies are not getting enough of a chance to repair.

This has been a real advance in aging and health over the last 10 years and I do truly think it's going to transform medicine in the coming years and decades.

We're now starting to get lots and lots of different tests which basically estimate how old we really are based on our biology.

They will measure the amount of aging which has taken place in your DNA or the amount of aging which has taken place in your immune system.

And that actually gives you a much more accurate representation of how healthy you really are.

So to give you one fascinating example of that, there was like a lady in Spain who lived to the age of 117.

One of the key reasons was biologically, if you looked at her gut and her immune system, she was probably 20 years younger.

So that just really indicates how keeping your biological age down, even as your chronological age is going up, can allow you to stay in good health for much longer.

100% definitely.

That's the really exciting thing which we're starting to learn from biological aging tests.

So for example, you mentioned DNA aging.

One of the things which basically happens as you get older is that your DNA kind of becomes noisy.

It sort of loses control.

When you're young, basically, your body has this incredible flexibility to sort of turn genes on and off exactly when it needs them.

And we sort of lose that basically as we age, which is what makes us more prone to developing cancers because some gene has been left on when it shouldn't be, for example.
