this for a long time
this for a long time I remember twenty-five years ago when I
I remember twenty-five years ago when I
I remember twenty-five years ago when I first got interested in lifestyle and
first got interested in lifestyle and
first got interested in lifestyle and wellness dr. Dean Ornish in San
wellness dr. Dean Ornish in San
wellness dr. Dean Ornish in San Francisco have just published the first
Francisco have just published the first
Francisco have just published the first paper showing that lifestyle change
paper showing that lifestyle change
paper showing that lifestyle change alone could reverse heart disease not
alone could reverse heart disease not
alone could reverse heart disease not just reduce it reverse it this had never
just reduce it reverse it this had never
just reduce it reverse it this had never been done before no drugs no surgery
been done before no drugs no surgery
been done before no drugs no surgery could ever reduce reverse heart disease
could ever reduce reverse heart disease
could ever reduce reverse heart disease lifestyle change did it and now we have
lifestyle change did it and now we have
lifestyle change did it and now we have newer ways of linking the connection
newer ways of linking the connection
newer ways of linking the connection between lifestyle and our health and our
between lifestyle and our health and our
between lifestyle and our health and our wellness one of the major ways those are
wellness one of the major ways those are
wellness one of the major ways those are the best ways now is something called
the best ways now is something called
the best ways now is something called telomere length measurement so what’s a
telomere length measurement so what’s a
telomere length measurement so what’s a telomere when it’s
telomere when it’s
telomere when it’s at home some of you left primary school

there as far as I know everybody knows
there as far as I know everybody knows it now but you have on the left a cell
it now but you have on the left a cell
it now but you have on the left a cell and inside the cell a nucleus and inside
and inside the cell a nucleus and inside
and inside the cell a nucleus and inside the nucleus you have the genes the genes
the nucleus you have the genes the genes
the nucleus you have the genes the genes are on the chromosomes and the
are on the chromosomes and the
are on the chromosomes and the chromosomes are the coiled bits of DNA
chromosomes are the coiled bits of DNA
chromosomes are the coiled bits of DNA because DNA’s are long molecule and a
because DNA’s are long molecule and a
because DNA’s are long molecule and a gene is a bit of DNA that prepares a
gene is a bit of DNA that prepares a
gene is a bit of DNA that prepares a certain protein the genome is the
certain protein the genome is the
certain protein the genome is the totality of all the DNA within the cell
totality of all the DNA within the cell
totality of all the DNA within the cell so telomeres are the little bits on the
so telomeres are the little bits on the
so telomeres are the little bits on the end of each chromosome they’re rather
end of each chromosome they’re rather
end of each chromosome they’re rather like the plastic cap you have at the end
like the plastic cap you have at the end
like the plastic cap you have at the end of your shoelace that stops it fraying
of your shoelace that stops it fraying
of your shoelace that stops it fraying and they keep the end of the chromosome
and they keep the end of the chromosome
and they keep the end of the chromosome together as it divides but as the cell
together as it divides but as the cell
together as it divides but as the cell divides each time it divides the
divides each time it divides the
divides each time it divides the telomere gets shorter and when it gets
telomere gets shorter and when it gets
telomere gets shorter and when it gets too short the cell can’t function it
too short the cell can’t function it
too short the cell can’t function it slows down and it dies
slows down and it dies
slows down and it dies so telomere length is a really good
so telomere length is a really good
so telomere length is a really good indicator of how vital our body is how
indicator of how vital our body is how
indicator of how vital our body is how much reserve resilience we have and
much reserve resilience we have and
much reserve resilience we have and short telomeres are generally associated
short telomeres are generally associated
short telomeres are generally associated with high risk for all sorts of diseases
with high risk for all sorts of diseases
with high risk for all sorts of diseases now you’d think from what I said that
now you’d think from what I said that
now you’d think from what I said that telomere length was a one-way street
telomere length was a one-way street
telomere length was a one-way street they can only get shorter and you’d be
they can only get shorter and you’d be
they can only get shorter and you’d be wrong telomeres can get longer this is a
wrong telomeres can get longer this is a
wrong telomeres can get longer this is a study done in 2013 in which a group of
study done in 2013 in which a group of
study done in 2013 in which a group of people with cross-state cancer were
people with cross-state cancer were
people with cross-state cancer were treated for five years with a high

tell me a length of the actual
tell me a length of the actual intervention group grew significantly
intervention group grew significantly
intervention group grew significantly longer so we know that lifestyle can
longer so we know that lifestyle can
longer so we know that lifestyle can actually lengthen telomeres I think
actually lengthen telomeres I think
actually lengthen telomeres I think that’s good to know

complement of people and we know that if you take two people that seem pretty
you take two people that seem pretty
you take two people that seem pretty much the same and you analyze their
much the same and you analyze their
much the same and you analyze their genes you will find four on average four
