About This Book
Nobel laureate Blackburn and stress researcher Epel show how life experience shapes biological aging at the cellular level — through the lens of telomeres.
Reader Profile
Evidence
Strong (Nobel-level core science)
Reader Lens
Read as a biological lens on stress and aging, not a telomere tracking guide
Practical Value
High (stress, sleep, connection, movement)
Overstatement Risk
Low-moderate (telomeres as over-central frame)
