The clinical and physiological practice of influencing key biological processes that are known to correlate with chronological aging. This is not about reversing time, but rather optimizing cellular and systemic function to align with a younger biological age. The goal involves modulating factors like telomere length, cellular senescence, and epigenetic markers. It represents a proactive approach to maintaining robust hormonal and metabolic health over the lifespan.
Origin
This term is a conceptual construct arising from the convergence of gerontology, endocrinology, and personalized medicine. It originates from the clinical application of longevity research findings into actionable, measurable protocols. The core concept is rooted in the study of aging biology, or biogerontology, and the potential for therapeutic intervention.
Mechanism
The manipulation operates primarily through targeted interventions that impact the endocrine and genetic regulatory systems. This includes precise adjustments to hormone replacement therapy, specific nutrient intake to influence sirtuin and mTOR pathways, and lifestyle modifications affecting cellular stress response. By recalibrating these internal biological signals, the organism’s inherent repair and maintenance mechanisms are upregulated.
