Description: Your cells start failing at 35.

Dr Sandra Kaufmann reveals the 7 systems breaking down — and how to stop it.

Dr Sandra Kaufmann is a cell biologist, physician, and creator of the Kaufmann Protocol — the first comprehensive rating system for anti-aging supplements.

In this episode she shares the off-label drugs, supplement stacks, and cellular strategies she uses daily to slow aging at the molecular level. We go deep on mast cell activation and its connection to aneurysms and heart attacks, why NAD infusions may be doing more harm than good, the three sirtuins you need to prioritise after 40, why she takes 70 supplements and 13 medications at low doses, and the SGLT2 inhibitor drugs that are regrowing healthy heart cells by clearing senescent zombie cells.

This is one of the most important longevity conversations I have had on the show.
