In this week’s episode of Healthspan Academy, I sat down with Longevity Insider, Dr. Anil Bajnath. We chatted about some of the more accessible advanced methods for improving health and longevity. Dr. Anil chatted about the role of telomeres in cellular aging and practical means for optimizing their function. He discussed the role of inflammation on aging and we talked about some of the more under-the-radar agents that have demonstrated promising results in slowing or reversing the effects of aging, as well as some of the toxic environmental agents known to accelerate the aging process.
Dr. Bajnath is a Board-Certified Family Physician who attended the University of Central Florida for his undergraduate studies in Molecular-cellular Microbiology (MM) and Medical Laboratory Sciences (MLS). He graduated from Ross University School of Medicine with honors and went on to receive a scholarship from Keller School of Business Administration for a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) with a focus in Healthcare Services, as well as certifications from the Institute for Functional Medicine and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Bajnath then finished his residency training in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Maryland in January 2019.
An experienced physician with a demonstrated history of working in the health care industry utilizing complementary alternative medicine techniques to treat his patients, his primary field of interest is understanding the underlying causes of unresolved illness and formulating care plans for resolving complex medical scenarios. He actively pursues research in pharmacogenomics, nutrigenomics, and microbiome sciences, and his practice provides a wide range of services ranging from traditional preventative screening guidelines to precision personalized healthcare modalities such as personalized nutrition, genomic medicine, advanced biomarker testing, microbiome analysis, and biometric lifestyle monitoring.
Dr. Bajnath is the CEO and founder of the Institute for Human Optimization located in Columbia, Maryland, as well as the author of the soon-to-be-released book “The Longevity Equation”. He also serves as an Adjunct Professor of Clinical Research and Leadership at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
