Breakthroughs in rejuvenative medicine are revolutionizing health care.

Medicine is undergoing massive change. Scientists are creating new technologies that can fight disease, and that may soon be able to cure aging through the power of stem cells.

Stem cells divide and renew themselves without limits, giving them incredible healing powers. There are thousands of ongoing clinical trials using stem cells to treat diseases including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and heart and liver problems.

Science may soon be able to stop and even reverse aging.

The average person in the United States lives to age 79. Aging sets in long before then, however. Starting in your mid-twenties, a widespread systemic decline begins. Beyond visible signs like gray hair and wrinkles, tissue and organ changes occur and hormone levels drop. David Sinclair, a scientist studying rejuvenation, believes aging is a disease, the root of all other diseases, and that it’s curable.

If your body is a piano, your genome is the keys. The epigenome is the player deciding which keys get pushed. Aging results when your epigenome tells your cells to switch the...
