Episode Description:

That recovery that now takes days instead of hours. The strength slipping. The words you stumble on. The energy that used to feel automatic. That is not just your age. That is your biological clock running faster than it needs to. And the anti-aging shelf is not going to fix it.

Resveratrol looked great in a petri dish. So did a hundred other supplements. Most of them were never tested on human aging clocks. We can now measure biological aging directly through DNA methylation. Only a handful of supplements have actually moved those clocks in real human trials. Dr. G breaks down the four that have, the label tricks that waste your money, and the one thing at the end that no supplement company will ever sell you.

Dr. G breaks it down — in order:

Take 1: "If a supplement has never slowed down aging in a living human, you are buying a headline" Dr. G calls out the resveratrol hype and explains why petri dish and mouse study results have been sold to consumers for years without ever being tested on human aging clocks. Find out what DNA methylation testing actually measures and why it changes everything.

Take 2: "Omega-3s are the one supplement on earth shown to slow biological aging in real human trials" In a three year randomized controlled trial in older adults, one gram a day measurably slowed several DNA methylation aging clocks. Dr. G gives the exact form, the exact dose, and the label trick that turns a promising fish oil into an expensive bottle of oxidized oil.

Take 3: "Urolithin A clears out the dead power plants inside your cells" As you age the cleanup crew that removes broken mitochondria slows down and garbage accumulates. Dr. G explains the mitophagy process, why most people cannot produce urolithin A from food alone, and what the randomized controlled trial showed about muscle strength and endurance after four months.

Take 4: "GlyNAC reversed multiple hallmarks of aging at once and it is cheap" The Baylor University trial showed improvements in glutathione, mitochondrial function, insulin resistance, walking speed, strength, and cognition in 16 weeks. Dr. G explains how glycine and NAC work together to rebuild your body's master antioxidant and why this one belongs in almost everyone's stack.

Take 5: "Spermadine switches on the process that keeps your brain recycling itself" Found in w
