I have discussed the difference between “cellular” longevity and organ health in Part II & Part III of my article on longevity.
If one of my organ systems gives in in isolation, even if all other things were otherwise impeccable, this would cause rapid and massive ripple effects eventually leading to body-wide impairment.
The usual causes of organ degeneration are the following:
- infarction (e.g., pulmonary degeneration after thromboembolism)
- infection (e.g., HBV targeting the liver)
- toxicity (e.g., tadalafil leading to ototoxicity)
- cancer (e.g., liver cancer)
Tactics I follow to support & monitor organ health
- General health
- Monitoring blood markers
- Regenerative medicine
The above is only a fraction of the article. This article is currently undergoing final revisions and is expected to be published within the next few weeks to months. To receive a notification upon its release, sign up for my newsletter.
