Your brain isn’t just wired—it’s mapped biochemically, and those signals may hold the key to longevity. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor sits down with Dr. Jennifer Garrison, a leading researcher at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and an adjunct assistant professor of gerontology. Dr. Garrison’s groundbreaking work focuses on neuropeptides—the brain’s chemical messengers—and their powerful influence on aging, behavior, and reproductive decline. Using cutting-edge techniques, she investigates how neuropeptide shifts impact longevity and explores the intricate brain-ovary connection, a key yet often overlooked factor in women’s health. A recipient of prestigious honors, including the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, Dr. Garrison is at the forefront of research aimed at unlocking new interventions for age-related conditions. Join us as we dive into her pioneering discoveries and discuss how understanding these biochemical signals could transform our approach to aging—especially for women’s health and longevity.
