The Most Important Medical Test You Can Have

I get a lot of mail from readers like you who tell me they’re scheduled to see their doctor for an annual checkup.

And they want to know…

What is the number-one anti-aging test they should ask their physician to order?

It’s an important question.

But sadly, most conventionally trained doctors will NEVER order the test I recommend…

You see, with my patients, I want to know what’s going on at the cellular level.

And that’s why I think it’s essential to have a test that measures your telomeres.

Lengthening your telomeres is one of the most important steps you can take to protect yourself from the diseases we commonly associate with aging.

Diseases like Alzheimer’s… heart disease… diabetes… obesity… and cancer.

The minute I learned about telomeres — and activating the telomerase enzyme that maintains telomere length — I knew it would change lives.

And it has.

By helping my patients keep their telomeres long, they’ve seen incredible results.

They’ve experienced benefits like having sharper memory, more energy, perfect blood sugar, and healthy hearts.

In other words, they’ve extended their health span, so they’re living younger – longer.

Yet, the medical establishment continues to look the other way.

Instead of acknowledging this discovery, they’re stuck on turning telomere technology into another synthetic drug for Big Pharma.

Why? Because that’s where the big money is. And that’s their primary goal…to profit from your health challenges.

The First REAL Anti-Aging Solution

Telomeres are the little caps on the end of each strand of your DNA that control how your cells age. When you are young, your telomeres are long. But every time a cell divides, the telomeres get shorter.

Over time, your telomeres get so short they can’t protect your DNA as effectively. When a cell divides, new cells are defective

. You begin to develop the signs and diseases of old age.

And you dramatically increase your risk of serious diseases.

But regrowing telomeres has the opposite effect. Supporting your telomeres is the first REAL solution to aging itself. In fact:

  • People with the longest telomeres have a 54% lower risk of heart disease1
  • Longer telomeres protect the brain from aging and dementia 2
  • People with longer telomeres are happier and have a better outlook on life3
  • Those with longer telomeres have an immune age that’s 20 years younger4
  • Increasing telomere length helps fight against almost all diseases of aging 5
  • Lengthening telomeres increases lifespan by an average of five years 6

I believe telomeres are the biggest medical breakthrough in my lifetime.

As a pioneer in telomere science, I’ve been helping my patients protect and lengthen their telomeres for decades. I do this by helping them activate telomerase naturally.

When you turn telomerase on, your telomeres gradually get longer.

Your body starts creating younger cells. And by activating telomerase, you can improve and support almost every organ in your body. You can recharge your sexual desire, breathe easier, look younger and feel younger.

In other words, you can reverse the aging process – and eliminate your risk for the so-called diseases of aging.

I think this topic is so important I used it to wrap up my Palm Beach Anti-Aging Summit at the beautiful and historic Mar-a-Lago estate.

Today, I want to share that talk with you. To watch, click this link.

My friendly staff will be happy to answer your questions and set you up with the most important medical test you can have.

3 Simple Steps To Make Your Telomeres Biologically Younger

In the meantime, there are steps you can take right now to make your telomeres biologically younger. Here’s what I tell my patients…

    1. Stop eating processed foods. A new study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that three or more servings of “ultra-processed foods” doubled your risk of shortened telomeres.Typical processed foods include a vast array of convenience items, such as deli meats; instant soups and noodles; packaged bread; snack items; soda and energy drinks; sweetened yogurt; and breakfast cereals — even those marked “healthy.”
    2. Boost vitamin C intake. Studies confirm that raising the level of vitamin C in the cells slows down the shortening of telomeres by up to 62%.7,8 In another study, vitamin C slowed telomere shortening while increasing cellular lifespan.9But be forewarned. You’d be lucky to absorb more than 500 mg of standard vitamin C supplements in a single day. That’s why I recommend a liposomal-encapsulated ascorbic acid. Wrapping vitamin C in a tiny, fatty bubble more than doubles its absorption.10 This delivery method enables you to take 5,000 to 8,000 mg of vitamin C every day.
    3. Lower your homocysteine. This amino acid triples the speed at which your telomeres shorten. Here’s what I use with my patients (amounts are daily) to lower homocysteine:
      • Vitamin B12 – 500 mcg
      • Folic acid – 800 mcg
      • Vitamin B6 – 25 mg
      • Riboflavin (B2) – 25 mg
      • TMG (Trimethylglycine) – 500 mg
