Today, we’re looking in to the fascinating world of telomeres—those tiny caps at the ends of our DNA that play a massive role in how we age. In this solo episode, I break down exactly what telomeres are, why they matter for our health and longevity, and how everything from stress, sleep, and diet to genetics can impact their length. You’ll also hear about the latest research, eye-opening real-life cases, and some cutting-edge interventions that might just help you preserve—or even lengthen—your telomeres.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
