Clearing Out the Cellular Clutter: with Dr. Gregory Kelly

“Aging isn't just about the years that pass—it's about how you spend those years. The secret lies in maintaining your cells’ vitality, and that’s what we’re diving into today.” — Dr. Greg Kelly In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Greg Kelly to explore the fascinating world of senescent cells—those "zombie cells" that linger in our bodies as we age, contributing to the aches, pains, and general decline many of us experience. If you've ever wondered why you start to feel "old" well before you're ready to admit it, this conversation will shed light on the cellular mechanisms behind aging and what you can do to turn back the clock. Dr. Kelly takes us on a journey through the history and science of cellular senescence, explaining how these cells behave like unwelcome houseguests—sticking around longer than they should and causing all sorts of trouble. But there's good news: senolytics, compounds that help clear out these lingering cells, can play a transformative role in how we age. For women in their 40s and beyond, understanding and addressing senescent cells could be the key to unlocking healthier, more vibrant years ahead. We also dive into practical steps you can take to rejuvenate your cells, from the role of exercise to the emerging science behind intermittent senolytic dosing. Dr. Kelly even shares exciting insights on how senolytics might not only help with common issues like joint pain but could also have unexpected benefits like rejuvenating your hormonal health. Whether you're already feeling the weight of aging or just want to stay ahead of the curve, this episode offers actionable strategies to help you maintain your youthful vitality. Don’t miss out on this deep dive into the future of aging and how you can harness it to live better, longer.   FULL show notes: https://www.jjvirgin.com/senolytics Reignite Wellness™ Magnesium Body Calm: https://reignitewellness.com/products/magnesium-body-calm Qualia Senolytic Placebo-Controlled Clinical Study Results: https://qualialife.com/studies/qualia-senolytic-placebo-controlled-clinical-study-results Shop Oura Rings: https://ouraring.com/ Reignite Wellness™ Magnesium Body Calm: https://reignitewellness.com/products/magnesium-body-calm Episode Sponsors:  Try Timeline: https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop?rfsn=7082975.4b75243 Use code JJ10 for 10% off all products Go to qualialife.com/VIRGINWELLNESS to try Qualia risk-free for up to 100 days and code VIRGINWELLNESS for an additional 15% off
