A telomere is nucleotide sequences found at the end of chromosomes, which protects the genetic information within our DNA. What we've learned so far is that these telomeres can change in length depending on our exposures and lifestyles, which impacts overall health.

In this episode, Dr. Darrell Misak and I will be diving deeper into telomeres and how they can give us information on the aging process of our bodies.
