In EPISODE 171 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER we explore the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied to epigenetics to enhance heart health, specifically coronary heart disease, the primary cause of heart attacks. I talk with Meesha Dogan, CEO, Co-Founder, and Director of Cardio Diagnostics, an AI-driven precision cardiovascular medicine company. Meesha holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and BSE/MS degrees in Chemical Engineering from the University of Iowa. She has developed her work in artificial intelligence, epigenetics and genetics into building, commercializing and scaling next-generation DNA-based cardiovascular tests. These systems are deployed to better prevent, detect and manage coronary heart disease. By leveraging advanced technologies to look beyond conventional risk factors, Cardio Diagnostics can provide personalized insights into an individual’s unique biomarkers, enabling tailored treatment plans and ongoing monitoring of treatment effectiveness.

Dr. Gillian Lockitch is an international speaker, author of Growing Older, Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and The Art of Retiring Comfortably, and host of the Growing Older, Living Younger Podcast. As a dual-certified Specialist in Paediatrics and Medical Biochemistry and Professor at the University of British Columbia, her professional career was rooted in science. During her rehabilitation from life-saving emergency spinal surgery, her passion to be able to dance again led her to explore the intersection of medical and epigenetic science with non-Western healing traditions, to understand how to change aging at the cellular level. Within the Growing Older, Living Younger Project, the Change Your Aging Masterplan cycle is a year-long 3 part coaching program to preserve mind and brain, build your best body, and to survive and thrive in your environment. At 70 Dr. Lockitch became a first time entrepreneur, building a global online business with the premiere wellness and beauty company, to help others extend their healthspan, stay vibrant, active, and independent as they age. Now retired from medical practice, Dr. Lockitch is an empathetic coach and mentor but does not diagnose, treat or prescribe for medical diseases.
