Nice Day for a White Wedding

Following an 18-month engagement, Bridget Williams and Matthew Cottrell were married on Snow Hill Island in Antarctica on November 26, 2024, during a nine-day voyage aboard Endurance, part of the National Geographic | Lindblad Expeditions fleet. The ceremony marked the second time that day the couple “took the plunge,” having earlier jumped hand-in-hand into the zero-degree waters of the Weddell Sea. Consequently, their wedding photos benefitted from the tightened skin attributable to polar plunging.

Does Aging Accelerate During Specific Decades?

Do you ever feel like the tick-tock of the aging clock is in overdrive or that everything in your body seems to be breaking down simultaneously?

It's not your imagination. A study released by Stanford Medicine shows that many of our molecules and microorganisms dramatically rise or fall in number during our 40s and 60s. To understand and adopt habits that can slow down the aging process, we turned to Dr. Carl Paige for insights.

A familiar voice on these pages, Dr. Paige has over four decades of experience and is recognized for his expertise in innovative treatments such as peptide therapy and research-based regenerative medicine techniques. He is also a co-founder of Louisville's Medical Transformation Center, a respected regional hub specializing in integrative cellular and regenerative medicine.
