Smart supplements
“I love ashwagandha, theanine and rhodiola as supplements that can help improve feelings of well-being and decrease feelings of stress,” says internist, Dr Charlie Seltzer.

However, the researchers note further studies are needed to understand the impact other factors have on telomere length.

Dermatologist, Dr Rhonda Q. Klein, is a huge fan of the treatments offered by her office: “I have been loyal with botulinum toxin [Botox] since residency at age 27, other than when pregnant.
