Rethinking Aging: How Unfinished Healing Drives the Aging Process and What You Can Do

Welcome back to Health Unlocked: The Power of Salutogenesis, where we explore the science and mystery behind healing and what it really means to achieve lifelong wellness. In this episode, host Jasen Petersen dive deep into a groundbreaking perspective on aging - not as inevitable wear and tear, but as a process of "unfinished healing." Jasen unpacks the cell danger response (CDR) cycle and reveals how stress, both physical and emotional, can interrupt our body’s natural repair processes at the cellular level. Instead of seeing aging as just decline, Jasen shares research from Dr. Naviaux and others to reframe it as a backlog of repairs the body was never quite able to finish - leaving behind so-called "senescent" cells that subtly fuel dysfunction over time. The conversation goes further, exploring why persistent stress leads to cellular roadblocks, how chronic pain and lingering injuries are signals of incomplete healing, and why most of us "don’t bounce back" as quickly in later years. You'll also hear about the emerging promise of salutogenic therapies designed to support the body’s self-repair - and why targeted cellular support, like Jasen’s own product “IBAL”, is at the cutting edge of anti-aging and preventative health. Whether you’re interested in the science of longevity, new perspectives on daily wellness, or practical tips for supporting your body’s natural healing cycles, this episode is full of fascinating insights that will change the way you think about health and aging.
