Slow Aging Inside and Out with Food-Derived Spermidine

Slow Aging Inside and Out with Food-Derived Spermidine
Episode Summary: On my next YOUNGER podcast episode, I interview the founder of Oxford-HealthSpan, a company that is now producing a high-quality spermidine called Primaeadine®. Many health practitioners are learning more spermidine. You will learn how it is a naturally-occurring and potent polyamine (a kind of protein) known for inducing autophagy, the body's cellular renewal and recycling process. It also inhibits 9 of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, the paths down which we age. Oxford-HealthSpan is backed by leading longevity experts, to produce products formulated with the oversight of internationally recognized longevity scientists and doctors, including Oxford University Emeritus Professor of Physiology, Denis Noble and Immunology Professor and Autophagy Expert, Katja Simon, "Best in Medicine" Longevity Doctor and Author of ‘The Kaufmann Anti-Aging Protocol’, Dr. Sandy Kaufmann, Celebrity Anti-Aging Doctor and Psychoneuroimmunologist, Dr. Olivia Lesslar, and Head of the UK's first-of-its-kind Space Innovation Lab and Autophagy Researcher, Dr. Ghada Alsaleh, among others. Guest Bio: Leslie Kenny, is the founder of Oxford HealthSpan. She is an Oxford based entrepreneur born in California and a graduate of Berkeley and Harvard Business School. In her 30s, her life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with an array of autoimmune conditions - lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. Her doctors told her there was no cure and that they could only be managed with strong immunosuppressants. This didn't sit right with her. Coming from a Taiwanese background, she was raised with the mentality that its best to work with your body’s innate wisdom to heal itself. Why would she suppress her immune system rather than support it in its natural abilities? On a quest to revive her own health, she went back to school at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC. Her passion for health optimization grew and her career took an interesting and unexpected turn when she moved to Oxford and began working with Oxford University scientists and doctors. Key Takeaways: · The science behind spermidine · Synthetic or not · Clean ingredients and whole-plant derived spermidine · 3rd Party lab testing · Who benefits · Suggested dosage · What to expect · Foods highest in spermidine · Natural solution not a medical treatment · Quality spermidine supplements · What do health practitioners know · Where can I purchase Primaeadine® Resources for a Younger Lifestyle: The link to your Special Offer: For more YOUNGER Podcast Episodes: Quotes: “2/3 of the spermidine found in the human body is produced endogenously, or in the body, by the gut microbiota and various tissues. The final 1/3 is found exogenously, or externally, in the food that we eat.” “As we age, our body's ability to produce it declines. To restore youthful levels of spermidine, we have to look externally. Otherwise, our cells' ability to trigger autophagy will continue to decline and the aging pathways will progress.”

Optimizing Your Lymphatic System

Optimizing Your Lymphatic System
Episode Summary: According to Cancer Research UK, this works because, “as the blood circulates around the body, fluid leaks out from the blood vessels unto the body tissues. This fluid carries food to the cells and bathes the body tissues to form tissue fluid. The fluid then collects waste products, bacteria, and damaged cells, as well as any cancer cells if present. This fluid then drains into the lymph system. The lymph then flows through the lymph vessels into the lymph glands, which filter out any bacteria and damaged cells.” Once filtered, the lymph leaves the glands and moves into larger lymphatic vessels to the thoracic duct at the base of the neck. Lymph is then released back into the bloodstream, free of any harmful infection or bacteria. The lymphatic system also helps to maintain fluid balance within the body. “Lymph contains a high number of white blood cells called lymphocytes that work to target and destroy damaged or abnormal cells from the body.” Guest Bio: is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM) who brings an innovative and game-changing approach to today’s health care.

Being Mindful in the Midst of Chaos

Being Mindful in the Midst of Chaos
Episode Summary: Everyday life offers lots of challenges. Today, more than ever, I would like to discuss natural mindful pathways that will help us shift the way we cope with them in the midst of chaos! Each one of us has a host of stresses that we deal with. At work, at home, in our relationships, and in our own head. This next YOUNGER podcast episode is a place for you to consider new ways to handle that stress in a mentally healthy way – with mindfulness and self-care. While you’ve probably heard of both these terms, you may not be completely familiar with them. So, before we move on, let’s define “Mindfulness.” What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something. Before you start taking steps to control the way your mind reacts to chaos and difficult situations, it’s important to learn how to be conscious of the chaos and how it affects you. Then, you can take measures to mend or re-direct your cognitive process. Historically, we haven’t—as a society—been taught to give our mental health the attention it deserves. As a result, we’ve learned to sweep issues under the rug, grin and bear it through toxic relationships, and overload our schedules because we’re afraid to say ‘no.’ Guest Bio: is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM) who brings an innovative and game-changing approach to today’s health care. Robyn offers the most advanced and cutting-edge therapies, procedures, and products designed to renew, restore, and revive health called A.R.T.: Amplified Regenerative Therapies.

Key Takeaways: Prioritize your mental health, as well as, your physical health Realize you can’t fix a problem that does not belong to you. Distance yourself from those who bring more pain than joy! Break-Up with friends who don’t support you. Take the space you need from toxic family members. We are all on different paths. Learn to say ‘NO’ Bow out gracefully (exit without stressing out) Surround yourself with people who support you Create spaces that brings you calmness Curate good energy with positivity reminders Generate positivity by spreading compliments Check into how you think about others Check-in with how you speak about yourself Use your breath as a tool Consider yoga for your mental health Find outlets for stress and anxiety Give yourself time to feel your feelings Keep a gratitude journal Spend some time getting to know yourself View resources, and more . . .

Ditch the clutter, add more light, and adopt a plant.” “In order to cut down on chaos in your life, you’ve got to make it a priority to keep your plate filled with the right amount of work that your mental health can handle.

The ART of Tidying Up

The ART of Tidying Up
Episode Summary: While some people love to organize, others think it is a chore. Many patients are surprised to hear the number of health benefits associated with an organized life. According to WebMD, taking a few minutes to organize your space during a slump in your day can give you a much-needed energy boost. Allowing yourself to finish your day by getting your desk or workspace organized can help you work more efficiently the next day, and help you have peace of mind to relax at the end of the day. Interestingly, a study from Psychological Science found people who are organized also have better-eating habits. Avoid snacking on junk food at their desk by keeping it free from clutter. It is more likely you might opt in for an apple than that candy bar. As we know, one good choice often leads to another! Brushing up on your organizational skills can positively impact your sleep. This benefit is twofold. A clutter-free space is more relaxing and invites rest. Additionally, being organized will prevent you from lying awake thinking about all the things to be done tomorrow. This leads to the no-brainer, being organized reduces stress. How many times are you in a rush but can’t find something you're looking for? This sets a negative tone for the rest of the day. According to a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, people with cluttered homes were more depressed, fatigued, and had higher cortisol levels.

Overcoming Digestive Challenges

Overcoming Digestive Challenges
Episode Summary: Do you know the leading factors that can contribute to Acid Reflux and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)? Below we are providing Dr. Hyman's top list, which we found on his Ultrawellness Center website: -Eating right before bed. -Eating too much. -Being overweight can push your stomach up, causing reflux. -Chronic stress affects the nerves in your stomach, making it impossible to process the food properly. This will cause food to go up instead of down. -Loss of magnesium, which is caused by stress. Magnesium is needed to relax the sphincter at the bottom of your stomach that actually lets the food go down. -Food sensitivities may not be diagnosed, including gluten and dairy. -Bad bacteria or yeast growing in your stomach. If you have been on a lot of antibiotics, if you have been on hormones, if you eat a lot of sugar and processed food, you could grow bad bugs in your gut, and they ferment and can cause reflux.

Fat and protein are the others. The primary function of macronutrients is to provide the body with energy.” “Filling your cart with fresh produce versus cheap frozen and boxed meals can create a difference in your weekly grocery budget. However, the few bucks you save by purchasing unhealthy foods will end up costing you more in the long run.” “The fad of going gluten-free has exploded recently. The fact is, only one percent of the population has a genetic condition called celiac disease. People with this condition MUST avoid gluten at all costs. The only way to determine a true gluten allergy is with medical testing.” “According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein intake is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (or 0.36 grams per pound of body weight).

Hormones and Your Skin
Episode Summary: Obviously, your skin provides the physical barrier to protect what is inside of your body. It also helps to regulate your temperature and act as a route for elimination for fluids like sweat and oils. This is why good lifestyle with disciplines in a self-care practice should be taken seriously. Our skin IS ruled by our hormones and is covered in small glands called sebaceous glands. They secrete an oil called sebum that helps lubricate your skin and keep it healthy. Within these glands are receptors that respond to hormones, and react according to factors like hormone levels. “There are millions of products out on the market that claims to “fix” your skin issues, but we encourage you to stop chasing the hype and get back to basics when it comes to treating your skin.” In this next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will discuss the basics of how to maintain good health through your skin.

FREE TO BE: A Six-Week Guide to Reclaiming Your Soul
Key Takeaway Qs to Answer: Do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled? Unworthy? Did you check all the boxes and built a life, a career, a family but still, have an empty feeling as if something is missing? Why is soul work important in this day and age? Are our listeners bound to still have bad days from time to time even after finishing the lessons in the book? How do they go about changing that? How did you identify the categories for reclaiming your soul and breaking them up into six weeks? Episode Summary: From an early age we’re taught that in order to be worthy, to find true happiness, to be “somebody,” we have to accomplish many things. We become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we’ve “made it.” That we are happy. But do we ever “make it,” really? Are we truly happy not in the “#livingmybestlife” and “#blessed” way in which we caption our social media pages, but from a truly contented place of inner peace and joy? One where the yearning for the bigger house, the better job, the younger, more pliable spouse takes a backseat to the yearnings of our hearts and souls, a place where contentment just “is”? Guest Bio: Shirin Etessam is an entrepreneur, seasoned media executive, and transformational speaker. She has produced films, original television series and specials, created several companies, and led campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized companies (ABC, CBS, Discovery, BBC, Facebook, Apple, Intel, Virgin, and many more). A proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, Shirin founded OML TV, a popular platform dedicated to streaming and curating quality, queer female, video content and OML Originals, a female led production company telling diverse female stories through a vast spectrum of film and television genres. Today, Shirin guides seekers in her six-week program, Free to Be, to disconnect their human “being” from their human “doing” to find true and lasting fulfillment. She lives in Marin County, California, with her wife and two children.

In fact, anxiety is a somewhat normal reaction to stress as it can initiate our flight or fight response and keep us alert to our surroundings. However, it is important to learn the difference between feelings of anxiety and a true anxiety disorder. There are several different anxiety disorders, and they all have defining characteristics that make their diagnoses possible. On my next podcast episode, I will help you distinguish key factors that relate to anxiety, such as: Intensity and length of time Impairment Physical manifestations I will discuss a variety of anxiety disorders and define what makes each different from one another. You might be learning more about anxiety for the first time for personal self-awareness, or maybe to help your child, a family member or a friend. I explain the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) categories of anxiety disorders and how they are listed in three groupings: Anxiety Disorders Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders There are many different recognized anxiety disorders that all vary in severity. Just remember, these are very serious conditions for those who suffer from them. “Anxiety is a complicated topic due to its complexity.

The Leaky Gut Solution!

The Leaky Gut Solution!
Key Takeaways: There are TEN TIMES the number of bacteria in our body than our own cells and the majority of them are found within our digestive system. The gastrointestinal system contains 90% of the body’s happy hormone, serotonin. Most importantly, approximately 70% of our immune system is housed in our gut! Episode Summary: The gut, or gastrointestinal system, is truly a gateway to good health. The gut microbiome is an ecosystem of organisms including bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses, and protozoan throughout the digestive tract. Far beyond just digestive health, the following organ systems are also closely related to gut health: Immune system Endocrine system Nervous system Circulatory system Integumentary system Respiratory system Reproductive system "The food pyramid might be out of date and confusing to most." Many find they have refigured their food pyramid for convenience, without understanding the harm they are doing to their bodies. For many, it consists of: Grain at the base; Dairy in the middle; . . . and Sugar at the top. "To be frank, none of these foods have any business being part of your diet at all." In this podcast episode, I will help you wake up to how the majority of our diets are now packaged meals with paragraph-long ingredient lists and labels we can’t understand due to convenience. We are all busy and cooking takes time, but if this is your situation, just know you may not be eating real food at all! Here are a couple of alarming facts you should know: The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved approximately 3,000 different food additives, preservatives, and colorings without adequate research on safety! The average person ingests over 150 pounds of additives each year! The impact based on the fact that such chemicals that have been allowed into our lives is incomprehensible and might be considered experimental. As we become more and more aware of the consequences of this fake-food lifestyle we begin to recognize it is simply unacceptable! The disturbing facts above point to only a few key factors in the leaky gut epidemic, but I do find they are the bigger ones!

Demystifying Detox!
Key Takeaways: Defining the goal of any detox program. Common symptoms of toxicity. Those who benefit from a detox. Positive results from detoxifying. Defining toxic and non-toxic foods. Diseases and chronic conditions associated with toxins in your body. The variety of detoxes available. Preparation for your detox. Useful kitchenware. Detoxifying recipes that include drinks, smoothies, soups and more. Resources, and more. Episode Summary: For some, the term 'detox' has become a dirty word. It's no wonder that so many misleading products are making false claims on the market. The truth is, our bodies have been intelligently designed to perform detoxification naturally. We all have innate mechanisms working day and night to help rid the body of harmful substances. However, our exposure to chemicals has increased faster than our ability to detox. This can cause a build of harmful chemicals in the body and lead to disease. For example, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, infertility, certain cancers, and mood disorders have all been associated with toxic overload. If you haven't been feeling your absolute best, you may benefit from a detox. Dr. Robyn Benson’s YOUNGER podcast episode called, Demystifying Detox” is being presented to help participants better understand the basic physiology of detoxification and the importance of it to live a youthful, healthy, and regenerative lifestyle.

There are two medical distinctions of toxicity, acute and chronic.” “The body’s natural process for detoxification is done by removing impurities from the blood in the liver, where toxins are processed for elimination. The body also eliminates toxins through the kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin.” “We are continually bombarded with various chemical and environmental toxins which can slow down the body’s elimination process. Detoxification is about resting, cleansing, and nourishing the body from the inside out.”

As the arm is lifted, the acromion rubs, or "impinges" on, the rotator cuff tendons and bursa. This can lead to bursitis and tendinitis, causing pain and limiting movement.” “Repeated episodes of subluxations or dislocations lead to an increased risk of developing arthritis in the joint.”

Our knees are significant to moving out bodies and to simply get around. It isn’t something many people think about until they are in pain. Some of the biggest challenges I find for patients with knee or joint pain have been ways for them to describe what is causing their pain. If you don’t understand the anatomy of your knees, its ligaments, tendons and bones, it can be complicated conversation. Learning more and having patience to implement natural regenerative solutions, rather than quick fixes like surgery, is a discussion many are now valuing.
