Guest Biography
Dr. Bill Lawrence, PhD
Dr. Lawrence, an American biogerontologist, brings a unique blend of qualifications to his research. His Jurisprudence Degree (UCLA-Law) provides a unique legal research perspective to his work, his MS in Psychology offers insights into human behavior and cognition, and his Ph.D. in Nutritional Science equips him with a deep understanding of the biological processes of aging. This multidisciplinary approach allows him to view aging from various angles, enhancing his ability to develop comprehensive solutions. Over three decades, he has applied this approach to focus on human longevity research and interventions for optimal life and health span.
Dr. Lawrence is affiliated with the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology (Russia), a hub of pioneering research in biogerontology. He is the administrator of two groundbreaking Russian and American longevity clinical studies: Telomerase activation and DNA/Methylation Epigenetic Age Modification, which are at the forefront of longevity research. These studies and the significant results promise to revolutionize our understanding of the aging process and longevity interventions.
At age 78, Dr. Lawrence’s research has profoundly slowed his aging process, enhancing his potential longevity and health span, as well as that of 150 clinical study participants, primarily physicians. His average telomere length, or “Cellular Age,” is equivalent to that of a 23-year-old. His “Epigenetic Age,” measured by the Horvath Epigenetic Clock (DNA/Methylation), is ten years less than his chronological age, resulting in a fifty percent reduction of all-cause mortality risk compared to his same-age peers. His annual biological rate of aging at 79% is twenty-one percent slower than his chronological yearly aging, a personal testament to the power of his research.
Today, he will present data and evidence proving that the primary cause of aging is the degradation of the cellular DNA Repair System. He will then confirm that Peptide Bioregulators, a groundbreaking development by Prof. Vladimir Khavinson of the St. Petersburg Institute, is the intervention that restores the DNA Repair System via cellular reprogramming, tissue rejuvenation, and organ regeneration. The result is enhanced longevity and health span.

- Telomere and DNA Methylation Studies 8:07
- Dr. Barrett asks Dr. Lawrence about the fluctuation of telomere analysis and the role of DNA methylation.
- Dr. Lawrence explains the concept of telomeres, their role in cell replication, and how stress and other factors can affect their length.
- He provides examples of how stress and pregnancy can impact telomere length in newborns.
- Dr. Lawrence introduces the concept of DNA methylation and its role in epigenetic studies, emphasizing the importance of measuring both telomeres and DNA methylation for a comprehensive understanding of biological age.
- Clinical Study and Results 41:27
- Dr. Lawrence outlines the structure of the clinical study, which includes telomere and DNA methylation testing.
