Dr. Carolyn Dean returns to Dr. Marianne Pinkston’s The Better Life TV for a conversation about biological aging, mineral replenishment, and the importance of foundational nutrition. Together, they explore the difference between chronological and biological age, and why supporting the body’s basic nutritional needs matters for healthy aging.

Dr. Dean also discusses her Maui longevity pilot study, including preliminary findings using epigenetic methylation testing to measure changes in biological age. The conversation covers magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, yeast overgrowth, and gut health, with a focus on building a nutritional foundation before turning to expensive biohacking tools.
