Telomeres at the Crossroads of Neurological Health & Metabolic Syndrome

Join us for an in-depth exploration of how telomere biology is reshaping our understanding of aging-related conditions.

In this free webinar, Dr. Gordon Crozier—a renowned practitioner of integrative medicine and genetics-based healthcare—explains how telomeres influence cellular metabolism and genomic stability. The gradual shortening of these protective caps at the ends of chromosomes has been linked to both metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s.

Dr. Crozier will examine the shared molecular mechanisms behind these conditions and highlight how telomere dysfunction may serve as a central driver of all of them.

We’ll discuss the role of oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial impairment in telomere attrition, and how these factors contribute to both metabolic dysregulation and cognitive decline. You’ll gain insight into emerging therapeutic strategies, from lifestyle interventions to telomerase activation, with the potential to address both neurological and metabolic health in tandem.

KEY LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  • Understand the biological role of telomeres in cellular aging and genomic stability
  • Examine the connection between telomere shortening, metabolic syndrome, and neurodegeneration.
  • Explore shared molecular pathways, such as inflammation and oxidative stress, that drive both neurological and metabolic decline.
  • Review current research linking telomere dysfunction to conditions like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s.
  • Identify emerging therapeutic strategies that target telomere biology to support both brain and metabolic health.
