Show Notes

Today we’re talking about what causes ageing.

Here’s an important term you may not have heard before: inflammaging. It describes the link between chronic inflammation in the body and accelerated ageing.

While it’s relatively unknown, this process is one of the most important concepts to understand if we want to live longer, healthier lives.

I’m joined by Professor Janet Lord to break down what inflammaging is, why it’s one of the biggest threats to healthy longevity, and the surprisingly simple, science-backed habits we can all use to slow it down.
