LOC/HEA 1 • (Thursdays 19:00 - 21:00)

They are able to mask the way they look through wearing fashionable clothes, dieting, exercising, having cosmetic surgery, and more recently using Botox. But what is happening below the skin? Learn about the aging process from the biological perspective at the cellular and molecular levels as well as the tissue and organ levels. Knowing how all parts of the body operate can help you to slow down and perhaps even reverse the aging process from deep within.
