Social connections trump other longevity factors

Full Show Notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/trupodcast

In this episode with repeat guest Dr. Matt Dawson, you’ll discover how epigenetic testing analyzes DNA methylation to reveal how fast you’re biologically aging, what’s driving your health, and your risk for disease. You’ll explore how these signals can detect chronic disease risk earlier than traditional labs, and how TruDiagnostic built the TruHealth Test by analyzing ~1,000 biomarkers to pinpoint the most meaningful health indicators. We also break down the TruAge Test, covering biological age, pace of aging, and organ-specific aging, plus insights from my own results. We discuss how AI and large language models (LLMs) identify which interventions actually improve specific biomarkers, and what truly moves the needle for longevity, from caloric restriction and GLP-1 drugs to the often-overlooked impact of relationships, stress, and recovery.
