| 0:00.0 | There's so many different aspects of aging, but the hormonal side of it was just, it's like, yeah, you know, it's going less and lesser. What can we do? Well, let's have a look. Who's in the peak of their ages? Yeah, people in their 20s, really, that's kind of in the peak. Let's replace it to those levels. Then hopefully it slows down the aging, slows on all the degenerative diseases of aging as well. I mean, at a very basic level, if you strip everything back, |
| 0:23.7 | isn't that such a simple concept? |
| 0:26.6 | Well, Dr. Harple-Baines is a doctor whose focus is on longevity, |
| 0:32.8 | and that's not just living for longer for the sake of it, |
| 0:35.5 | but living healthier, happier lives without |
| 0:38.5 | disease and illness. I'm Lizelle, a very big welcome back to the Lizelle Well-Being |
| 0:43.7 | Show. The podcast, of course, dedicated to all of us having a better second half, the name of my |
| 0:50.4 | recent book. And my mission is to find ways for all of us to thrive in later life |

| 1:17.5 | fit and active with full cognitive function and mobility. You know, we're told we are |
| 1:23.3 | inevitably going to age and deteriorate. Our bodies are going to get |
| 1:27.5 | stiffer. We're going to be less able to fight illness. Our skin will sag. Our eyesight |
| 1:32.6 | will deteriorate. All of this. But no, it need not be thus. There are many ways now |
| 1:39.5 | which we can explore aging in a far more positive and healthful way. |
| 1:45.0 | And I'm incredibly interested in longevity medicine because it is a preventative approach to |
| 1:51.1 | slowing aging so that we're not just treating the symptoms, you know, once they've already |
| 1:55.7 | occurred and we start to feel unwell. |
| 1:58.2 | Instead, we're thinking about the root causes and what we can actually do to |
| 2:01.9 | decrease the things that might then contribute to accelerated aging and disease, as well as then |
