Your DNA is not your destiny. It's the blueprint, but you are the master builder.

In this episode, I unpack the first major time bomb of aging, DNA changes and damage, and the small daily decisions that build an unbreakable lifestyle. We'll talk about telomeres, the protective end caps on your chromosomes, why they shrink faster for women during the menopause transition, and how movement can quite literally make your cells younger.

What we cover:

- DNA vs destiny: why 70% of aging is lifestyle, not genes

- Gene expression: how one workout shifts over 9,000 genes

- Telomeres explained: the protective end caps of your chromosomes

- Menopause and telomeres: why estrogen decline speeds cellular aging

- Strength training: 90 minutes weekly linked to younger cells

- Aerobic exercise: improving telomere length in six months
