You Are Only As Young As Your Immune System with Dr. Greg Fahy

22 Aug 2024

Description

Your thymus isn't talked about much, but this small organ in your upper chest is a key component of your immune system that is solely responsible for the essential "education" of the immune cells that protect your body from invaders. Through this action it also affects levels of inflammation (an immune-mediated process). It's also interesting to note that most of us end up dying of an immune-related dysfunction - even cardiovascular disease, as Dr. Greg Fahy points out in this New Frontiers podcast, is often caused by atherosclerosis driven by underlying chronic inflammation. I was thrilled to finally sit down with Dr. Fahy, whose groundbreaking work in aging has reshaped our understanding of what’s possible. His 2019 TRIIM study, showing clear epigenetic age reversal through thymus regeneration, was an absolute game-changer. The thinking prior to that was that epigenetic age reversal was not possible! It was exciting to read his publication as we were in the midst of our own original clinical trial. I'm sure you'll enjoy his recounting of that adventure and just how he's rejuvenating thymic function, the rationale for targeting immune rejuvenation, and the trial extensions he's currently working on now. ~ DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources. GUEST DETAILS Greg Fahy, PhD https://tinyurl.com/3f4jww7j Chief Scientific Officer, Co-founder Intervene Immune [email protected] Dr. Greg Fahy received his Ph.D. in Pharmacology and Cryobiology from the Medical College of Georgia in 1977. A world-renowned cryobiologist, Dr. Fahy is the chief science officer and co-founder of Intervene Immune, where he leads groundbreaking research on thymus regeneration and combating age-related immune decline. He designed and led the TRIIM trial, the first to demonstrate both thymus rejuvenation and the reversal of human epigenetic age. His work has been pivotal in advancing aging research, resulting in successful follow-up trials like TRIIM-XA, and further planned studies aimed at refining and expanding these innovative treatments.
