Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

So, this is the video you've been waiting for.

How does one increase their telomere length and live longer?

Alright, so let me just give you a little background first, okay?

In your cells, you have the center part, which is the nucleolide.

Okay, inside the nucleus, you have your DNA.

And that DNA is bundled within structures called chromosomes.

And the chromosomes carry the genetic information in the form of genes.

Alright, so what is a telomere?

A Greek word for telomere is broken down into two parts.

We have telos, which means end and morose, which means part.

It's the end part.

If we take a look at a shoestring, that's what telomere is.

It's a little plastic, protective mechanism at the end of your chromosome,

because the shorter it gets, the faster you age and the more diseases you get.

As our cells divide, our chromosomes need to replicate, because we need this complete set.

And every time they replicate or divide, these telomeres get shorter and shorter and shorter.

And many scientists claim that the shorter the telomeres, the faster you age,

and develop more diseases.

But there are epigenetic factors that can help you and even hurt you.

Now, epigenetics is about what's a love genes, what controls your genetics,
