Aging Uncovered: The What, Why, How, and How Not of Aging

What if aging isn’t just inevitable, but a solvable biological puzzle? In this inaugural episode of Up One, hosts Sawyer Stone and Dr. Bill Andrews take a deep dive into the science of aging—from the cellular wear and tear that kicks off the process to the role of telomeres, telomerase, and lifestyle choices in determining how long (and how well) we live.

Dr. Bill breaks down the hard science behind why we age, challenges common misconceptions about anti-aging supplements and therapies, and reveals which interventions, like reducing inflammation and consistent, low-stress exercise, are actually worth your time. They also dig into controversial topics like senolytics, gene therapy, and whether humans could (or should) evolve beyond aging.

If you're curious about whether we can extend healthspan, reverse cellular aging, or even outsmart our own biology, this episode separates science from hype with a critical meta-analysis of the latest research.

Tune in to find out:

• Why telomeres are the “ride tickets” of cellular life
• The evolutionary reason we age—and why that might be changing
• How inflammation, lifestyle, and genetics shape your biological clock
• What’s legit (and what’s not) in the booming anti-aging industry
• Why Dr. Bill says the key to longevity might be… keeping exercise fun
