Top Quotes:

“Your vascular system is the foundation of your overall health. There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body. They supply oxygen and essential nutrients to every organ in your body and carry away toxic waste. If you’re looking for a long and healthy life, taking care of your vascular system must be a top priority.”

“Many women are recognizing the importance of physical activity for their cardiovascular health.”

“Menopausal Women have greater challenges to maintaining their vascular health due to hormonal shifts.”

“Women preparing for the menopause transition, who would like to live a preventative lifestyle consider eating an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing insulin resistance and visceral fat, incorporating strength, aerobic, and flexibility training as rotation in their weekly exercises, and investing in sleep comfort.”

“The endothelial glycocalyx is really one of the most important and intensely researched areas in human health in years.” —Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

Episode Summary:

On this next YOUNGER podcast episode we explain how thyroid issues can be under diagnosed, what thyroid lab tests to ask for, and the best ways to supplement your thyroid.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge in the middle—picture the shape of a butterfly.

We know how difficult it is to determine if you have a thyroid disease, this is mainly because the symptoms are similar to many other health problems. Many doctors simply don’t have the time to discuss symptoms with patients and sort out the cause of their complaints.

If you’re trying to talk to your health professional about your thyroid worries and they aren’t taking you seriously, seek a second opinion, and be your own advocate. Speak up!

Dr. Christi Alsop is an expert practitioner at Santa Fe Soul Center for Regenerative Medicine.  Our team is here for you so make sure you call us to gain insights related to a regenerative lifestyle for those who find they have challenges with their thyroid.

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.

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.

“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.”

Title:Slow Aging Inside and Out with Food-Derived Spermidine

Key Takeaways:

• The science behind spermidine
• Synthetic or not
• Clean ingredients and whole-plant derived spermidine
• 3^rd Party lab testing
• Who benefits
• Suggested dosage
• What to expect
• Foods highest in spermidine
• Natural solution not a medical treatment
• Quality spermidine supplements

• Where can I purchase Primaeadine®

Additional Quote:

“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.”

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.”

Quotes:

“The lymphatic system works similarly, as the blood that gets circulated throughout the blood via the blood vessels. Except, instead of carrying blood, the lymphatic vessels carry lymph fluid through the body.”

“The fluid loss (approximately 2 liters a day) would cause dehydration if the lymphatic system did not take it from the tissues, clean it, and recirculate it into the body (John Stoddard Cancer Center, 2017).”

“Turmeric is excellent for its naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with inflammation in the body caused by stress and poor diet.”

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.’

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.

My goal on this episode of YOUNGER is to share the benefits of being organized, including a great technique to help you make this task less daunting. Let’s get started!
