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.

Quotes:

“Iodine is absorbed into our bloodstream from food in our bowel. It is then carried to the thyroid gland, where it is eventually used to make thyroid hormones.”

“Thyroid hormones act on almost every kind of cell in your body to increase cellular activity or metabolism. If there is too much or too little thyroid hormone, the metabolism of your entire body is impacted.”

“Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It’s an autoimmune disease that tends to run in families and symptoms can take many years to appear.”

“Before you begin a supplement routine to support your thyroid, give us a call to determine which products and lifestyle changes are right for you. We’re experts in this field and would love to offer as much insight and support as we can!”

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
  • 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®

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.”

Title: Optimizing Your Lymphatic System

  • The role of the lymphatic system

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.’

Title: Being Mindful in the Midst of Chaos

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 . . .

“My three favorite ways to make a space feel better? 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. Many times, this means learning how to say ‘no.’”

“Dedicate time to learn how to love yourself.”

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 Bulletinpeople 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!

Title: The ART of Tidying Up

Key Takeaways:

  • Benefits of organization
  • Feel the weightlessness
  • The psychology of clutter
  • The KonMari Method
  • Organization by category
  • Your closet
  • A great way to fold which adds space and reduces wrinkling
  • Regular reorganization
  • Finding joy
  • Tackling the kitchen
  • The frig
  • Unseen clutter
  • Let it go
  • Decluttering mistakes to avoid
  • Mindset shifts

“Save time! Get organized to allow you do the things you’d rather be doing.”

“Knowing what you already have can also save you money! When you are disorganized, it is easy to over-purchase at the grocery store because you’ve forgotten what you already have.”

“When your home is tidy, you’ll feel more at ease with having people stop by for a visit.”

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.

Quotes:

“Did you know that between 4%-10% of adults experience symptoms of acid reflux or GERD on a daily basis, and in Western countries, up to 30% of adults experience symptoms weekly?” —Dr. Axe, n.d.

“It is always important to begin by looking at the foods you might be eating which could be exasperating your existing acid reflux and GERD symptoms.”

According to Dr. Mark Hyman, n.d., director of Ultrawellness Center, “There’s a whole series of causes, everything from what you are eating, to your lifestyle, to stress, to smoking, caffeine, alcohol, to bacteria in your gut, to food sensitivities—all these things can trigger reflux.”

Quotes:

“Carbs, or carbohydrates, are one of three macronutrients. 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). However, they also note that a healthy diet can consist of 10–35% protein.

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.  There are many factors to consider, such as age, diet, exercise, sleep, and stress.

Quotes:

“Too much cortisol can result in acne and thinning skin. Low levels of cortisol can result in changes in skin color and pigmentation.”

“It’s very common women might experience acne alongside their monthly menstrual cycle due to their estrogen levels dropping!”

“In the skin, estrogens affect the thickness, wrinkle formation, and moisture levels. Estrogens can also increase glycosaminoglycans such as Hyaluronic Acid, to maintain fluid balance and structural integrity.”

“Testosterone is the hormone responsible for coarser hair and thicker, oily skin. This hormone is heavily involved in sebum production, and too much can cause acne, clogged pores, and other blemishes.”
