Summary

Joint aches. Softer muscles. Saggy skin. Brain fog. Dealing with these not-so-fun issues in midlife? Trust me, you’re not the only one. But… these changes aren’t “just a part of getting older”. In this podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Dr. Greg Kelly, Senior VP of Product Development at Qualia Life and a leader in anti-aging and cellular health, to unpack the powerful concept of cellular senescence, also known as “zombie cells.” These cells don’t die when they should, sticking around to cause inflammation, slow down your metabolism, and accelerate aging in your skin, joints, muscles, and brain. The good news? You’re not powerless! Dr. Kelly shares how senolytics—natural compounds that help your body clear out zombie cells—can dramatically shift how you age, supporting your body’s innate ability to regenerate. If you’ve been feeling like your body is betraying you, this episode will bring hope and science-backed strategies to help you feel vibrant, clear-headed, and strong again. Tune in now! Gregory Kelly N.D. Dr. Gregory Kelly is a naturopathic physician, the SVP of Product Development at Qualia Life, and the author of the book Shape Shift. He was the editor of the journal Alternative Medicine Review and has been an instructor at the University of Bridgeport in the College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Kelly has published hundreds of articles on natural medicine and nutrition, contributed three chapters to the Textbook of Natural Medicine, and has more than 30 journal articles indexed on PubMed.

QUOTES “As these zombie cells accumulate wherever in our body, our joints, our skin, our brain, our muscle tissues, our fat tissues, they cause both local problems and systemic problems.” “They scanned a whole bunch of different compounds, both plant extracts and actual medications, and came up with two that, especially when combined together, worked really well to get these zombie cells to finally go through cellular death.” “These people all had some degree of joint discomfort, and what we saw was about a 60% improvement over three dosing cycles. So this seemed like it made a big benefit.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get your Qualia Life Senolytic at a discounted rate HERE!

Maybe your skin doesn't bounce back the way that it used to. I'm talking about your neck skin. Like what is going on with that? Or your joints ache in new and frustrating ways,
