Dr. Fahy’s research was the first to demonstrate the potential of biological age reversal as measured by all epigenetic clocks available in 2019. This was an extraordinarily exciting moment in science.Hear all about that journey and what he and his team are working on now. Still underappreciated (in my opinion) is the fact that his protocol regenerates the thymus gland in older individuals. The implications of this are massive.
