105: 40/60 Metabolism Waves Explored

What if aging didn’t happen gradually, but in sudden bursts that completely reset how your body works? In this episode, we explore groundbreaking research from Stanford University showing that our bodies go through dramatic biological shifts at specific ages, the early 40s, around 60, and possibly even the late 70s.

These aren’t surface-level changes like wrinkles or gray hair; they’re shifts in the proteins and pathways that control how our body processes fats, carbohydrates and inflammation.

For those living with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, this research is especially relevant. These “waves” or “crests” of change happen in the very systems that regulate blood sugar, insulin resistance and influence long-term health risks. We’ll break down what happens at each stage, why it matters, and how it could explain why blood sugar, cholesterol, and weight sometimes feel harder to manage at certain ages.
