In this episode, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with Dr. Daniel Tausan, a stem cell biologist turned health consultant, who shares how his innovative work with Timeline Sciences is reshaping the future of healthy aging. Dr. Tausan explains how advanced blood panels, bioinformatics, and a personalized "N of One" approach can help individuals understand their biological age and optimize their health strategies. They explore the practical applications of personalized health timelines, the significance of lung function, the role of fascia and connective tissue, and the potential for reversing conditions like atrial fibrillation. Listeners will gain actionable insights into taking charge of their own health journey.

Daniel Tausan, is founder of Timeline Sciences, a company focused on personalized health optimization and biological age tracking. He holds a Master of Science in Stem Cell Biology from the University of British Columbia, where he completed several years of PhD-level research on the molecular profiling of exercise and the epigenetic impact of lifestyle interventions. With a background as a national-level water polo athlete and coach, Daniel bridges cutting-edge science with practical coaching strategies. His work integrates bioinformatics, advanced blood biomarkers, and longevity protocols to help individuals develop data-driven health timelines tailored to their unique biology and goals.

Episode Timeline

00:00 – Welcome & Introduction
