Olga Kotelko is not your average ninety-three-year-old. She not only looks and acts like a much younger woman, she holds over twenty-three world records in track and field, seventeen in her current ninety to ninety-five category. Convinced that this remarkable woman could help unlock many of the mysteries of aging, Grierson set out to uncover what it is thatâs driving Olga. He considers every piece of the puzzle, from her diet and sleep habits to how she scores on various personality traits, from what she does in her spare time to her family history. Olga participates in tests administered by some of the worldâs leading scientists and offers her DNA to groundbreaking research trials. What emerges is not only a tremendously uplifting personal story but a look at the extent to which our health and longevity are determined by the DNA we inherit at birth, and the extent to which we can shape that inheritance. It examines the sum of our genes, opportunities, and choices, and the factors that forge the course of any life, especially during our golden years.</p> 376 377 </div> 378 </div> 379 </div> 380 </div> 381 382 <div class="vc_span4 wpb_column column_container"> 383 <div class="wpb_wrapper"> 384 385 <div class="wpb_single_image wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_top-to-bottom vc_align_left"> 386 <div class="wpb_wrapper"> 387 388 <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="460" height="613" src="https://brucegrierson.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/what_makes_olga_run.jpg" class="attachment-full size-full" alt="What Makes Olga Run?" srcset="https://brucegrierson.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/what_makes_olga_run.jpg 460w, https://brucegrierson.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/what_makes_olga_run-225x300.jpg 225w, https://brucegrierson.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/what_makes_olga_run-350x466.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 460px) 100v
