Can Exercise Really Make You Younger? | Dr. Dwayne Jackson
Can you actually reverse your biological age? Don sits down with health scientist Dr. Dwayne Jackson to unpack the real science of longevity, mitochondria, fitness, and nutrition. From busting biohacking myths to explaining how movement, food, and recovery truly keep you young, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you feel stronger and live longer.
Dr. Dwayne Jackson joins Don to break down the truth behind the science of anti-aging and what actually works. From breaking down the myths of biohacking to explaining the true power of mitochondrial health, Dr. Jackson delivers insights that can improve your performance, longevity, and quality of life.
With over 12 years of university training, spanning exercise physiology, medicine, and nutritional biochemistry, Dr. Jackson has earned a PhD in neurovascular physiology and completed advanced research at the University of Ottawa, University of Western Ontario, and the Yale School of Medicine.
They discuss how aerobic exercise, strength training, and proper nutrition can reverse your biological age, and why things like cold plunges and red light therapy—while trendy—should never replace the basics.
