Description

Research on longevity and how to live a healthier life longer is increasingly gaining momentum. In this episode we sit down with Quinn Conklin, one of the people moving research on this topic forward and we learn about telomeres, a form of internal clock for cellular ageing. Here she tells us what they have found when looking at meditation retreat participants to see how meditation might affect our longevity. Join us to learn more about this fascinating aspect of human life and ageing as we seek answers to whether it might be possible to turn back the clock.
