Telomeres are segments of DNA at the end of our chromosomes that shorten each time a cell divides and are thought to be indicators of how long we’ll live. Longer telomeres are associated with slower aging, fewer age-related diseases, and generally greater life spans. That's why integrative physician and NBA medical advisor, Myles Spar, MD has been providing telomere testing to his patients as part of the Tack180 Anti-Aging Program.
Once you understand how fast your cells are breaking down, you know how many changes you need to make in order to stay healthier longer. Once you've been tested, Dr. Spar will analyze your results along with your goals, lifestyle habits, and medical history in order to design a plan to lengthen your telomeres and reduce your risks. This preventative roadmap will include recommendations on: supplements, nutrition, exercise, stress management, medications, sleep, and non-western approaches.
