# [#16: The Shocking Truth Why You're Aging Prematurely - Nick Engerer](https://blog.kevinwathey.com/io/16)

 Written by [Kevin Wathey](https://blog.kevinwathey.com/io/author/kevin-wathey) | July 20, 2024

Nick Engerer is Dr. of Philosophy, biohacker and longevity mindset strategist.

Visiting LA from Byron Bay, Nick and his son stopped by to do a deep dive (both on the Podcast and in the Sauna) on longevity, lifestyle, mindset, and the latest biotech.

In this episode, expect to learn what makes you age, how to determine how ‘old’ you really are, and the four pillars you must optimize to improve your lifespan and more... including my personal favorite, the 2 primary inputs that lead to premature aging.
