Ep. 506 Your Immune System Is Aging Faster Than You Think – The Most Powerful Longevity Protocols to Reverse It with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth
Everyday Wellness: Midlife Hormones, Health, and Science for Women 35+
Hormone Decline and Immune Dysfunction
Dr. Yurth links progesterone, estrogen balance, and testosterone declines to T cell and NK cell dysfunction and rising autoimmunity.
Today, I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth. Dr. Yurth is double board-certified, as a physician in physical medicine and rehabilitation in addition to anti-aging and regenerative medicine. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Yurth continues to lead the way in orthopedics, cellular and regenerative medicine, and the future of aging.
In our conversation, we explore immunosenescence and its implications for longevity. We discuss the off-label utilization of medications, including low-dose naltrexone, rapamycin, and GLP-1s, and examine other types of peptides, growth hormone secretagogues, and thymic peptides. We speak about hormones and anabolics, highlighting the benefits of anabolics for the bone health of those with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Dr. Yurth also shares her favorite supplements and outlines the key elements for optimal brain health.
This episode is the first of a series of conversations with Dr. Yurth. She will join us again to dive into cardiovascular disease and explore powerful ways to support healthy aging at the cellular level.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
-
Why the thymus gland shrinks with age and what that means for immunity
-
How thymic peptides support immune health, healing, and recovery
-
The role thymosin alpha-1 plays in modulating the immune system
-
Why thymosin beta-4 must be cycled for safe healing support
-
How IGF (Insulin-like Growth Factor) decline impacts muscles, joints, and the brain with aging
-
How growth hormone secretagogues can safely raise IGF
-
How BPC-157 (a gastric peptide) aids gut repair, musculoskeletal healing, and brain protection
-
Why mitochondrial peptides matter for energy, recovery, and repair
-
How anabolics support bone strength and recovery
-
How creatine and choline support the brain and muscles
