- 0:00After all the effort you put in, why do you still age faster than your peers?
- 0:03It's because your peers are lengthening their telomere.
- 0:06I have mentioned the length of your telomere is connected to the speed of aging, the shorter your telomere, the faster your age.
- 0:12So if you want to stay young, you have to stimulate the production of telomerase. After doing lots of research,
- 0:18I have summed up three methods to lengthen your telomere.
- 0:21The second one is even free of cost. First is hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A report was released by Israeli scientist,
- 0:28Shaya Friday on aging. He recruited 35 elderly aged 64 for his experiment.
- 0:33Every week they would do this therapy five times, and as a result the length of their telomere increased 20% to 37%.
- 0:40And the aging of their cells reduced 11%. The second method is power walking, concluded from a research by the University of Leicester
- 0:48through comparing the pace and length of telomere. In white blood cells of 405,981 participants,
- 0:55they discovered that those who walk faster, have significantly longer telomeres.
- 0:59Third is taking nutrients that is good for telomere, like NANNNN. These are materials for NAD+, and other new tyrants,
- 1:06such as omega-3. These are proven to affect telomerase, and lengthen telomere in researchers.
- 1:12Of course there are more ongoing experiments. To prove this connection, your daily diet can also affect the length of telomere.
Can you actually lengthen your telomeres? What the science says
Quick answer
The video references real peer-reviewed research on telomere biology but overstates the certainty of interventions like HBOT and NAD+ supplementation, presenting preliminary or associative findings as established methods for reversing cellular aging. The HBOT claim draws from Hachmo et al. (2020, Aging), a 35-person uncontrolled study, while the walking claim draws from a large but observational dataset that cannot confirm causation. No intervention currently has regulatory approval or strong clinical consensus for telomere lengthening as a therapeutic outcome.

Page-specific review note
What this exact clip is really saying
This FormBlends review is specific to "Can you actually lengthen your telomeres? What the science says" from Palace of knowledge. We read the clip as a Peptide social video fact-checks claim about Peptide social video fact-checks, then separate the useful signal from what a short social video cannot prove. The page-specific claim focus is: The video references real peer-reviewed research on telomere biology but overstates the certainty of interventions like HBOT and NAD+ supplementation, presenting preliminary or associative findings as established methods for reversing cellular aging.
The reason this review is not generic is the source wording and the canonical claim label "peptides how to lengthen your telomere telomere picoftheday keinelust." In this clip, the useful excerpt is: "After all the effort you put in, why do you still age faster than your peers?" That wording changes the review because it points to Peptide social video fact-checks evidence, safety, and patient-fit context, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
The source trail for this page is checked against NAD+ metabolism and its roles in cellular processes during ageing (2021), Nicotinamide mononucleotide increases muscle insulin sensitivity in prediabetic women (2021), and Chronic nicotinamide riboside supplementation is well-tolerated and elevates NAD+ in healthy middle-aged and older adults (2018), plus the creator's own wording. Peptide social video fact-checks decisions still need an eligibility review, medication-interaction screen, access check, and quality-control review before anyone treats a social clip as medical advice.

What to do with this video
Use the clip as a claim to verify, not a treatment plan
What it helps with
- The video references real peer-reviewed research on telomere biology but overstates the certainty of interventions like HBOT and NAD+ supplementation, presenting preliminary or associative findings as established methods for reversing cellular aging. The HBOT claim draws from Hachmo et al. (2020, Aging), a 35-person uncontrolled study, while the walking claim draws from a large but observational dataset that cannot confirm causation. No intervention currently has regulatory approval or strong clinical consensus for telomere lengthening as a therapeutic outcome.
- The HBOT telomere study (Hachmo et al., 2020) involved only 35 people with no control group, making the 20-38% telomere lengthening result interesting but far from definitive evidence.
- The University of Leicester walking study used data from over 400,000 people, making it one of the largest telomere association studies to date, but association is not causation.
What it may miss
- It may not cover eligibility, contraindications, medication interactions, lab history, or dose escalation.
- Compound access, legal status, and product quality still need a separate safety check.
- Social video captions rarely show the full evidence base behind a claim.
Best next step

Our take · Written by FormBlends editorial team · Reviewed by FormBlends Medical Team · This is not a transcript. It is our independent review of the video above.
What did @palace.of.knowledge actually say?
The creator's core argument is that aging faster than your peers comes down to telomere length, and that you can actively reverse this by stimulating telomerase. They named three interventions: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), power walking, and supplements including what sounded like NAD+ precursors and omega-3s. They cited "Israeli scientist Shaya Friday" and the University of Leicester to back two of those claims.
To be fair, the framing is bolder than the evidence supports. Phrases like "your peers are lengthening their telomere" treat a complex biological process as a simple consumer choice. Telomere length is one biomarker among dozens associated with cellular aging, and the idea that you can reliably "lengthen" yours through lifestyle tweaks is an oversimplification of what the research actually shows.
Does the science back this up?
Partially, yes, but with real caveats that the video skips entirely. The HBOT study is real and the numbers cited are roughly accurate, but the study has serious limitations. The Leicester walking study is also real and large, but it shows association, not causation.
The HBOT reference points to Hachmo et al. (2020, Aging), published by researchers at Tel Aviv University. The study did find telomere length increases of 20-38% and a reduction in senescent cells in a small group of 35 healthy older adults. But 35 people is a tiny sample, there was no control group receiving a sham treatment, and the lead researcher is Shai Efrati, not "Shaya Friday." The University of Leicester walking study (Dempsey et al., 2022, Communications Biology) used UK Biobank data from over 400,000 participants and found faster habitual walking pace was associated with longer leukocyte telomeres. That association held up even after controlling for physical activity volume, which is notable. Omega-3 and NAD+ precursor data exist but are far less definitive than the video implies.
What did they get wrong (or right)?
The creator got the basic biology directionally correct: telomerase does maintain telomere length, shorter telomeres are associated with accelerated cellular aging, and several lifestyle factors have been linked to telomere biology in peer-reviewed literature. That part deserves credit.
What they got wrong is harder to ignore. The researcher's name is Shai Efrati, not "Shaya Friday." That is not a minor slip; it makes the citation unverifiable for anyone trying to look it up. More substantively, the video presents telomere lengthening as essentially solved, when the field is still debating whether short telomeres cause faster aging or simply correlate with it. The causality question matters enormously for whether any of these interventions actually slow aging versus just nudging a biomarker. The supplement section was nearly incoherent, with the creator audibly struggling to name the compounds, and the claim that NAD+ precursors are "proven to lengthen telomeres" goes beyond what current human trial data supports.
What should you actually know?
Telomere biology is real science, but it has not been packaged into a clean longevity protocol yet. Here is what the evidence actually supports at this point.
- HBOT has shown telomere effects in one small, uncontrolled study. It is interesting, not proven. The cost and access barriers are also significant, and no regulatory body has approved HBOT for anti-aging purposes.
- Walking faster is genuinely associated with longer telomeres in large population data, and it costs nothing. That part of the video holds up.
- NMN and NR (NAD+ precursors) have shown telomere-related effects in some animal models and a limited number of small human trials. The data is promising but not conclusive.
- Omega-3 supplementation has modest supportive evidence, including a randomized trial by Kiecolt-Glaser et al. (2013, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity) showing omega-3 supplementation was associated with reduced telomere shortening over four months.
- If you are genuinely interested in longevity biomarkers, speaking with a clinician who can review your full health picture is more useful than any single intervention.
