Telomeres are sections of DNA at the end of each chromosome that serve as a cap to one's genetic matter.  Each time a cell replicates the telomeres become shorter.  Shorter teleomeres therefore indicate a shorter lifespan for the cell.

Telomere length is an assessment of biological age by evaluating chromosomal damage.

Inflammatory diets, poor food choices, will create oxidative stress and cause shortening of telomeres. 

Stress, overweight, lack of sleep lack of exercise use of recreational drugs, tobacco products, excess alcohol, insulin resistence, and hormonal imbalances, and any and all nutrient deficiencies will all cause telomeres to shorten.

Telomere loss and damage has been associated with cancer, dementia, and cardio vascular disease.

This is truly an innovative area of study.  Telomere testing is available at my office for a very reasonable cost and will provide insight into your goal of optimal health. Visit our aisle of functional medical tests right in our store
