Episode notes
Gene + Cell Combo Targets Systemic Aging
- Combining intravenous stem cells with plasmid gene therapies can reduce systemic inflammation and boost targeted protein production for years.
- Gene-delivered myostatin inhibitors (follistatin) can raise muscle, energy and neurological drive from a single injection.
Prepare For High Cost, Falling Over Time
- Expect high initial costs for cutting-edge gene therapies but anticipate price declines as technology matures.
- Clinical trials aim to expand access and potentially make treatments insurable for conditions like sarcopenia.
Protect Muscle When Using Weight-Loss Drugs
- Avoid weight-loss drugs that cause muscle loss; pair any appetite-suppressing therapy with resistance training and protein intake.
- Prefer agents that improve insulin sensitivity (e.g., tirzepatide) if choosing pharmacologic options.
