#378: Zombie Cells: The SECRET to Slowing Aging Revealed | Peptides, Senolytics, & Longevity Hacks (Halloween Edition!) With Nat Niddam

Today, I'm diving solo into a topic that's both fascinating and a little bit spooky—senescent cells, also known as "zombie cells." Understanding zombie cells is a crucial piece of the puzzle if you want to feel younger, stronger, and more resilient as you age.

In this episode, I unpack what senescent cells are, why they're not just harmless bystanders, and how their buildup can accelerate the aging process and drive chronic inflammation—one of the hallmarks of aging. I break down the lifestyle habits that might be quietly increasing your zombie cell load, the early warning signs your body could be giving you, and most importantly, the evidence-backed interventions you can start using right now—from exercise and diet, to cutting-edge supplements, peptides, and more.
