The Science of Youth
Let’s embark on this journey together, optimizing your health and unlocking your vitality to embrace life at its fullest.
Hi, I'm Steven Gabriel. I'm an MD, board certified in Emergency Physician and completed a fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. I'm passionate about how to slow down or even reverse the aging process. In other words, I believe that aging is not some inevitable process, but, at its core is the loss of information and oxidation of our cells over time. And, more importantly I believe it can be stopped.
This isn't about how long you can live, but how great you can feel today. Ultimately, life is about how much energy you have, how much emotion you have, how freely you move, and how much you laugh. Just look back at your youth...the real you is in there. What has happened over time, is that as our cells lost information (at the DNA level)- we function, slower, less energetically-and this effects everything we do. I want to get it back...the best we can with the current technology.
This is a journey, and my journey started back in 1989 at UCLA. I was a Microbiology and Molecular Genetics major, and I loved DNA. I loved how it was alive, and it was an information blueprint for the trillions of cells in our bodies. I loved learning about telomeres, and how as they shortened it aged our cells. I was determined then...that the cellular DNA...protecting it was the key to feeling my best.
I was happily sidetracked by one of my Genetics mentors who persuaded me to go to medical school. There, I because lost in disease, and why it happened and how it worked. I did a residency In Emergency Medicine at UCLA, and then worked in a busy Emergency Department where I saw thousands of patients with Alzheimers, Heart Attacks, Strokes, appendicitis, Lupus, Cancer. I saw patients in their deepest humility. It was wonderful, but my mind kept going back to the cells.
Why was this happening? I thought. What was changing? Was it... Inflammation? Oxidation? Glycation (adding sugars to proteins), poor diet, poor sleep, lack of exercise, infections, toxins??
Those things were all true, and definitely happening to all of us. But, why are we more prone to these things after time has passed?
I found myself going back to my Genetics and Biochemistry to look at the basics, and started realizing-this can all be changed. At least it can be slowed down I thought.
What would happen if we took care of our body in a new way? What could it be? How much better could it get? How much could I slow the aging process? People began asking me-what are you doing?
I can't say I've figured it all out...This, is a journey, but I'm confident-there are things (supplements, behaviors, toxins) that slow the aging process, preserve the function of DNA, and can even make look and feel younger.
After all, what's the purpose of all of this-if we don't feel better, feel happier, move better, remember better, and want to skip instead of drag throughout our days. Can we laugh off stress the way we did as kids again? I believe the answer is yes.
I've discovered, and made a few things that really can make a difference. Things that help heal, and slow the aging process, that decrease chances of diseases related to aging. I'm excited to share what I've learned, what I find, where to get it, and help anyone who wants to Biohack their way back to their true selves through science.
Let's do this.
