When it comes to longevity, epiAge has become the favourite tool of the German-speaking TV landscape. We are currently celebrating our 7th guest appearance!
So, what is epiAge’s role this time?
Star host “Doc Esser” from local WDR1 broadcaster wants to live to be 100 – as many of us do. But how?
Accompany epiAge, as we follow the fun-loving and adventurous doctor on his quest for the longevity grail!
The 50-year-old medical specialist, family man and jack-of-all-trades has already achieved a lot. But he still has a lot planned. So, he “just” needs 50 more years before he kicks the bucket.
But how plausible is that with creaking knees and an aching back? And what about the receding hairline?
Doc Esser has a plan. Actually, several:
1. To look into cutting-edge longevity research to distinguish realistic prospects from futuristic visions.
2. To interview spry elderlies in order to discover the best prerequisites for a long and healthy life.
3. And, last but not least, to test what nutrition, pills and exercise can achieve – both on himself and on rather unusual test subjects.
And this is where epiAge comes in.
First, Doc Esser wants to test the effects of different diets, a factor touted as central in longevity research. He is lucky to be able to recruit 3 predestined subjects for this endeavour: young-looking triplets who, at a chronological age of 38, surprisingly still live under the same roof.
So, epiAge blind-tests the trio – obtaining biological ages between 31.11 and 32.11. Pretty impressive, isn't it?
Even the doctor is happy to find out his biological age is quite a bit below the chronological one – at least before starting his pill experiment.
Find out (in German!) how the triplets' dietary experiments ultimately turn out and what the doctor thinks of metformin and other “rejuvenation pills”:
