Epigenetic Aging: Clinical Strategies and the Role of Nutrition and Lifestyle
Presented by: Denise Furness, PhD+
Review the results of Dr. Denise Furness’s recently published real world study showing how lifestyle, nutrition and dietary supplements can help reduce biological age and slow the aging process in as little as three months. Gain practical insights for applying these concepts in your practice to support the longevity and healthspan of your patients.
Learning Objectives:
- Define the differences between chronological age, biological age and the molecular mechanisms of aging.
- Understand various epigenetic age clocks (PhenoAge, DAMAge, Intrinsic Age (Horvath), DunedinPACE) and their clinical relevance.
- Review the results of a real-world study that show how lifestyle, nutrition and targeted supplements can help reduce biological age and slow the aging process.‡
About the Speaker
Denise Furness, PhD+ is a molecular geneticist and global leader in nutrigenomics and epigenetics with over 20 years of experience. Her award winning research during her academic career focused on gene-nutrient interactions, DNA methylation and DNA damage. In 2012, she founded Your Genes & Nutrition, bridging scientific expertise with clinical practice. Specializing in fertility, thyroid health and healthy aging, Denise has shown how to help slow the pace of aging and reduce biological ageing by optimizing DNA methylation through nutrition and lifestyle interventions. Her personal journey overcoming autoimmune thyroid disease and inherited susceptibility to cognitive decline drives her to empower others to achieve better health and longevity.
