The conversation delves into the complexities of the immune system and how a systems biology approach can illuminate the connection between inflammation and aging. Insights reveal that the exposome—encompassing all biological, chemical, and social exposures—plays a critical role in chronic disease, with 95% of such conditions linked to these external factors rather than genetics. The goal is to extend healthy living and push average life expectancy significantly higher by addressing root causes of inflammation.In this clip
