Reversing Aging: Is That Even Possible?
Some researchers now describe aging as a “loss of information” — like a scratched CD. The music (our DNA) is still there, but the player (our epigenome) can’t read it properly anymore. The result is cellular confusion — cells forget who they are and what they’re supposed to do.
I’ve heard the term “cellular confusion” mentioned a few times on my learning journey, and it resonates with me. Because to me, it ties directly to what I experienced years ago when my health collapsed: disease as a loss of communication inside the body. When the body’s signaling system goes offline, things start to go wrong. When communication is restored, amazing things start to go right.
Aging as a Breakdown in Communication
- Genetic information — the hardware (our DNA).
- Epigenetic information — the software (the instructions that tell each cell what to do).
When the “software” gets scrambled, the body’s communication system falters. The wrong genes turn on, the right ones shut off, and cells start misfiring — much like static in a radio signal. Over time, that static becomes chronic inflammation, poor recovery, and age-related decline.
That’s not much different from what I see in real life:
People in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who are not broken — just disconnected. Their body has forgotten how to communicate efficiently.
But here’s the hopeful part: communication can be restored.
The Good Stress that Keeps You Young
- Move regularly.
Walking 30–45 minutes, two or three times per week, gives powerful health benefits. Add a few short bursts of intensity — 10 minutes, a few times a week — and you trigger what scientists call hormesis: a small, healthy stress that wakes the body up and resets its repair pathways. I like mixing in a kettlebell workout a couple times per week. - Eat less, eat better.
Our culture has forgotten what hunger feels like. Yet fasting, or simply skipping a meal, activates longevity genes that help clean and repair the body.
The body wasn’t designed to be fed all day long — it was designed for rhythm and recovery. I’ve noticed that when I eat less, and focus on better quality food, my body feels lighter, clearer, and more responsive. - Spend time in sunlight.
Sunlight isn’t just about vitamin D. It’s about reconnecting your biology to the natural rhythms of light and dark. Morning or midday sun also improves mitochondrial function — your cells’ energy communication network. And while you’re out there, you can move, breathe, and reset all at once.
Restoring Redox — Restoring Communication
Today we know that redox signaling molecules are central to this process. They’re like the body’s text messages — helping cells detect damage, coordinate repair, and restore order. When communication is lost, the messages don’t get through. When signaling is restored, the repair teams get back to work.
That’s what ASEA Redox, RENU28, and REDOXGold support: not a quick fix, but a reconnection — inside every cell.
Maybe you’ve heard talk about NAD+ (or NMN & NR), and you’re wondering where that fits into this conversation. You can read about that here »
Simple, Not Easy
- Walk or move every day.
- Get some sun.
- Eat less often.
- Sleep deeply.
- Support your cells’ communication system.
The reward? Your body starts to act — and even feel — younger than your age would suggest. You start to sense that the information isn’t lost after all. It’s just waiting to be restored.
Final Thought
The body knows what to do. It just needs the right signals to remember.
