The longevity secrets of the woman who ‘turned away’: she claimed to go from 53 to 25 years old

He went to Colombia to undergo “genetic therapy” that would have made him four decades younger . With this news, American businesswoman Liz Parrish became famous. And, depending on your health, went from having a age biological from 62 years old to 21 years old.

It was in 2015, when He injected himself with an “elixir of youth” that is widely contested by doctors, scientists and society in general.

However, now that nine years have passed since the treatment, Liz Parrish —who is now 53 chronological years old— He remains firm in his decision and says that with time he is “getting older.”

This is what he does now to stay “young”.

In a recent interview with the Spanish media The world The 53-year-old woman assured that In the last tests he underwent, the results showed that he had the biological status of a healthy 25-year-old person.

This goal would have been achieved thanks to a genetic therapy which would have made it possible to rejuvenate the telomeres – which are the ends of the chromosomes which shorten with age – and thus prevent cellular aging.

Before treatment, tests showed that Liz Parrish had a biological age of 62.

What was in the alleged elixir he took in Colombia?

“What I did in 2015 was take telomerase and follistatin. Telomeres are protective caps at the ends of chromosomes that prevent them from breaking down and fusing with other chromosomes. They shorten with each cell division, contributing to aging.

Follistatin has been shown to help women increase muscle mass and reduce fat. While telomerase maintains telomere length to prevent cellular aging.

Furthermore, the woman assured that He has been following a vegetarian diet for 30 years and has not had any cosmetic surgery on his body. He said his desire to stay young does not come from any vanity, but from the search for more time to live, even for the sick.

He said his son had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and that “there are too many children dying from potentially treatable diseases. “I want them to live long enough to find a cure and live to the end in a healthy way, to regain the years they lost because of the disease.”

He also assured that there are different articles on the genes he uses in his “youth formula.”

“Yes, I was the first human being to experiment with these gene therapies to validate their safety and effectiveness. But soon, many people will also benefit from its benefits. Everything I have done is based on scientific evidence. Otherwise, I would not have applied as patient zero for treatments.”

This is why the entrepreneur began to publicize her company and her treatments, in order to offer a service for “less than 2,500 euros (approximately $2,500,000), which lasts between 5 and 10 years per dose”, believing that current aesthetic procedures have a high level of effectiveness and economic costs.
