THE LONGEVITY WHEEL
Introducing the Longevity Wheel: Quicksilver Scientific’s comprehensive approach to defining and unlocking the keys to age optimization.You may already be familiar with our systemized method to master detoxification. We’ve applied the same science-backed systematization to our six-spoke Longevity Wheel.Cutting through the single-focus solutions that surround anti-aging today we dove deeply into the research and identified the collection of biochemical pathways, mechanisms, and molecules that impact aging, developing an all-inclusive, system-based strategy to help the aging process.We call it the Longevity Wheel.
Statistics show that a mere 12 percent of U.S. adults are metabolically healthy. The daily choices we make significantly influence how fast we age — modifying our healthspan versus lifespan.† What does that mean?Lifespan: Defined as the length of time for which you live. Lifespan is measured by your chronological age or age in years.Healthspan: Defined as the period of your life spent in good health. Biological age (as determined by various clinical biomarkers) is a predictor of your healthspan.The time has come for us to “design” a process for aging healthfully — and reject the health declines we’ve mistakenly come to perceive as inevitable.Quicksilver Scientific’s founder, Dr. Shade reminds us, we have two choices: “We can sit back in a passive way or act in defiance to hang on to our vibrance and optimize our healthspan.”
The Longevity Wheel
The Longevity Wheel is our six-spoke framework and comprehensive approach to biohacking conventional aging assumptions. It addresses multiple hallmarks of aging that can negatively impact healthspan including:
- Genomic instability
- Telomere shortening
- Epigenetic alterations, such as altered methylation
- Loss of proteostasis
- Deregulated nutrient sensing
- Mitochondrial dysfunction
- Cellular senescence
- Stem cell exhaustionStem cell exhaustion
- Altered intercellular communication
