Dr. Mindy Pelz welcomes Dr. Nick Bitz, an expert in Ayurvedic medicine, to explore longevity and anti-aging. Topics include eliminating zombie cells, skincare product benefits, autophagy, senescent cells, inflammation, gray hair, soil quality, and gut dysbiosis. Discover groundbreaking insights on staying forever young!
Promoting autophagy through fasting, exercise, and certain supplements is crucial in slowing down the aging process.
Senescent cells, which can infect healthy cells and drive the aging process, can be eliminated using senolytics like quercetin and ficetin found in natural compounds.
Synthetic's senolytic supplement, taken for two days per month, can destroy senescent cells, improve joint health, overall well-being, and cognitive function.

The Importance of Autophagy and Senescent Cells in Anti-Aging
Autophagy and senescent cells are key concepts in anti-aging. Autophagy is the body's repair mechanism that prevents cells from becoming senescent. Fasting and exercise are effective ways to promote autophagy. Senescent cells are cells that have stopped replicating and linger in the body. These cells secrete inflammatory compounds called SaaS factors, which can infect healthy cells and drive the aging process. Senolytics are substances that destroy senescent cells in the body. They disrupt the proteins that prevent senescent cells from self-destructing through apoptosis. Quercetin and ficetin are natural compounds with senolytic effects. Quercetin is found in yellow onions, while ficetin is found in strawberries, apples, grapes, and cucumbers. Synthetic has formulated a natural senolytic supplement that includes ficetin and other botanical extracts. The product is taken for two days per month to destroy senescent cells. Clinical studies have shown positive outcomes, including improvements in joint health, overall well-being, and cognitive function. Synthetic's formulation aims to target a wide range of senescent cells and is designed to be taken intermittently for optimal efficacy.
The Role of Autophagy in Slowing Down Aging
Autophagy is the body's repair mechanism that slows down the production of aging cells. Fasting, exercise, and certain supplements can promote autophagy. Disabled autophagy can lead to the accumulation of senescent cells. Senescent cells are lingering cells that have stopped replicating and can infect surrounding healthy cells. The accumulation of senescent cells accelerates the aging process and contributes to inflammation. Synthetic has developed a natural senolytic supplement that destroys senescent cells. The product is designed to be taken for two days per month and includes a blend of botanical extracts like quercetin and ficetin. Clinical studies have shown positive outcomes, particularly in joint health and overall well-being.
Understanding Senescence and Zombie Cells in Aging
Senescence is the process of cells growing old and stopping replication after a certain number of divisions. Senescent cells are lingering cells that have moved into this phase and can drive the aging process. These cells can release inflammatory compounds called SaaS factors that infect healthy cells. The accumulation of senescent cells leads to tissue and organ dysfunction. Synthetic has developed a senolytic supplement that destroys senescent cells. The product contains natural compounds like quercetin and ficetin, which disrupt the proteins that protect senescent cells from self-destruction. The supplement is taken for two days per month to clear out senescent cells and promote healthy tissue function.
The Importance of Lifestyle and Senolytics in Anti-Aging
Aging can be slowed down by maintaining a healthy lifestyle that promotes autophagy and counters the accumulation of senescent cells. Fasting, exercise, and supplements can promote autophagy and prevent the development of aging cells. Synthetic has developed a natural senolytic supplement that targets senescent cells and helps clear them from the body. The supplement is taken for two days per month and includes botanical extracts like quercetin and ficetin. This approach promotes overall well-being and can have positive effects on joint health, cognitive function, and emotional wellness. Embracing a balanced lifestyle and incorporating senolytics can be effective strategies in anti-aging.
Developing Equanimity and Practicing Mindfulness
Dr. Nick's personal superpower is equanimity, which he has developed through his meditation practice in the Vipassana Buddhist tradition. This practice focuses on building a state of calm and mindfulness, avoiding reactive behaviors. Dr. Nick believes in the importance of finding balance and not overdoing things when it comes to health and wellness. He encourages individuals to align themselves with reliable products, develop a daily routine that includes self-care practices like oil therapies, and honor their bodies' natural intelligence. By doing so, individuals can support their overall well-being and promote a state of equilibrium in their lives.
