583. Senescent Cells and Inflammation

Dr. Martin teaches about senescent cells and inflammation in today’s podcast. Senescent cells are dysfunctional old cells that accumulate in the body. Having too many can be dangerous as they’ll cause inflammation, especially in the arteries around the heart and brain. Inflammation is silent, and we don’t realize it’s happening. Dr. Martin talks about C-reactive protein (CRP) testing that will detect inflammation. If your body isn’t getting rid of enough senescent cells, your inflammation will be elevated. Tune in to today’s podcast to learn what you can do to help eliminate these cells, and protect from aging your brain and heart!
