Why We Age

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Lifespan show. It's great to be back. Today, you might see some dirt under my nails and some paint on my hands from working on my house. I'm building a garden to grow fresh food without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and we'll do some episodes about how you can do that at home, even in your kitchen during winter.

But first, on this show, I'm joined again by my friend and co-host, Dr. Matthew LaPlante. Over the next three episodes, Matt and I are going to walk you through what scientists call the “hallmarks of aging” and, of course, what we can do about them, slowing them down and even reversing aspects of some of them.
