Pushing The Limits How We Age And How To Stop It With Dr Sandra Kaufmann
This week I interview longevity queen, Dr Sandra Kaufmann the author of the Kaufmann Protocol and Aging Solutions.
Dr Sandra is the head of department of Anesthesiology at and just happens to be obsessed with longevity science. What started out as her own search to slow and reverse ageing turned into a comprehensive system that allows people to personalize their own regime to their particular set of problems or needs and goals. This ingenious system has revolutionized my approach and makes it so simple to construct a very personalized approach.
There are innumerable things a person can read concerning aging, but at the most basic level, organisms age because their component cells age. We are all made of cells or cell products and as they falter, so do we.
Because cell aging is multifactorial, the organization of these concepts is important. The Protocol organizes these various theories of cellular aging into seven categories or tenets. The information in this podcast discusses these concepts in the language of science.
The following seven tenets encompass all of the presently known modes of cellular aging. Based on this organizational scheme, Dr Kaufman then developed a strategy where aging is curtailed in every category.
The 7 Tenets are as follows:
- DNA alterations (telomere attrition, epigenetics) Mitochondrial failure
- Pathways (Sirtuins, AMP Kinase, mTOR)
- Quality control (DNA & Protein repair mechanisms and Autophagy)
- Immune and inflammatory systems
- Individual cell needs (Senescent, Stem cells)
- Waste management (Glycation, lipofuscin)
Dr Kaufman explains her rating system for various longevity molecules and how to utilize these in your protocols.
We also discuss many of the supplements and adjuvants that Dr Kaufmann recommends for each of these tenets and we look at other cutting edge regenerative modalities like Exosomes. Stem cells are fantastic in terms of longevity, however there are limitations. Exogenous stem cells are currently not available in this country. Meanwhile, autologous stem cells are only as healthy as the person they which they come. Exosomes, on the other hand, constitute up to 80% of the benefits seen with stem cells and are available through Dr Kaufmann in the United States at least, in addition to being less expensive.
I highly recommend Dr Kaufman's books, these are major reference book that will serve those looking to optimise their health, performance and longevity. Links Below

BIO Dr. Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last five years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Most recently, she was recognized as "Best in Medicine" by the American Health Council.
Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging began many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first, ever, comprehensive theory of aging.
