62. Holistically Hack Blood Sugar Imbalance & Insulin Resistance - Registered Dietitian Melanie Murphy

Today we are talking about blood sugar imbalance and insulin resistance with holistic nutritionist Melanie Murphy. Melanie covers all the basics of what insulin resistance means, how to prevent the fast track to diabetes and even reverse diabetic conditions. Melanie is a registered dietitian and completed her masters of Nutrition, Healthspan and Longevity at USC. (very cool masters!) I found Melanie through the Fasting Mimicking Diet newsletter. I saw she studied (as have I) at the prestigious research based University of Southern California with Dr. Valter Longo who created the Fasting Mimicking Diet and one of TIME's 50 most influential people in healthcare. She popped up in a university newsletter, I investigated further, I loved her website and the holistic approach she takes to nutrition. She specializes in gut health and is based in Los Angeles.

61. Bioregulator Oral Peptides, Telomere Extension & Slower Biological Aging - Dr. Bill Lawrence

Today's guest will teach you something new. Dr. Bill Lawrence talks about his clinic trials on bioregulator peptides. If you don't know what a bioregulator is, you will once we get done and you will thank Dr. Lawrence for exposing this incredible molecule to you. Dr. Lawrence used to be a lawyer. He has a Law Degree from UCLA (my alma mater!). He is also a successful businessman who decided to turn his life, and perhaps fate, around with an interest in living longer and better…So, he ditched the business world and delved head first into science and the world of nutrition coming out with a Ph.D. in Nutrition. Since 1990 his focus has been on slowing and reversing human biological aging. Along the way, he has developed a lot of science-based optimal aging practices for health professionals and individual clients. Optimal aging is very different than "normal healthy aging" and we will explain what this means in the interview. Currently, Dr. Lawrence is the administrator of two clinical studies in collaboration with Dr Vladimir Khavinson of the Saint-Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology to see if human biological age can indeed be reversed. We learned all about Dr. Khavinson in my first episode on bioregulator peptides with pharmacologist Phil Micans, so I encourage you listen to that episode as well. By the way, Dr. Lawrence is chronologically 75, but his 'biological age,' based on telomere length is now 35. I invited Dr. Lawrence to share his first presentation on Telomerase Activation Protocol (TAP) and some of the results he is finding so far in the studies he started 4 years ago with two more years still to go. The only place I trust to get bioregulator peptides is at www.antiaging-systems.com or www.profound-health.com Use code Zora-15 for 15% off the first order (stock up to save!)

60. Reversing Wrinkles and Strengthening Skin Telomeres à la Dr. Bill Andrews - Rachael D'Aguiar

Rachael D'Aguiar is a beauty guru who understands the science of skin and wrinkles and shares with us how wrinkles grow, why they grow, what is accelerating this growth and what we can do to reverse this growth! We are going to geek out a little, so pay close attention and you will learn something new about your own biology. Rachael also teaches us how to understand skincare, what to look out for and what to avoid. Rachael stated working as a beauty therapist from home before opening her own Hair and Beauty Clinic in central Auckland. So over the next 10 Rachael created the New Zealand Worldwide Salon Marketing franchise and has been mentoring over 400 hair and beauty salons across the country. She trained business owners and managers how to be leaders within their businesses in the skincare industry. In 2013, she created a new company Chase Life Extension Foundation Ltd (CLEF), which procured the rights to TAM-818. If you haven't heard of it, this is what is claimed to be "the world's most effective Telomerase Inducer", which was founded by the father of the telomere Dr. Bill Andrews. Don't worry, Rachael explains what is telomerase. She then went on to create the scientific skincare brand, One Truth 818, and commissioned very comprehensive clinical testing that demonstrated how telomerase can be induced topically. Rachael is really into anti-aging science and research and has even donated over $500,000 to scientific research to help find cures for age-related diseases such as Alzheimher's and cancer, which is also led by Dr. Bill Andrews. You may have run into Rachael already if you're on the biohacking circuit. In 2016 and 2017 she spoke at the RAAD Fest Life Extension Summits in San Diego.

Over the last several years Dr. Amy Killen has been on the podcast circuit, smashing Instagram and speaking at loads of health conferences all over the world with leaders in the longevity space like David Sinclair and Dr. Sandra Kaufmann. She stands out, because her jam is "Sex and Skin". Two things we all want to keep glowing as we age. Today we bust some myths and reveal some truths on women's sex lives in middle age. Dr. Killen is board certified in Emergency Medicine, but she decided to pivot her career into the field of regenerative medicine and medical aesthetics. She is now the medical director of a national regenerative medicine physician training course and is well known for her work with Dr. Harry Adelson who came up with the Full Body Stem Cell Makeover. This is one of the most innovative regenerative procedures I have ever heard of. Better than the Bionic Woman. Dr. Killen has the coolest part of this procedure. She combines stem cells and exosome injections (don't worry, she'll explain this) with light, sound and other energy-based therapies so that you get an incredible regenerative effect on your skin, hair and, of course, sexual systems…and now we can all have "happy endings".

Airway Hygiene - Clean Your Lungs Like You Wash Your Hands - David Edwards, PhD

My guest today is someone I had the pleasure to meet over 25 years ago and someone I have been blessed with to have as part of my life ever since. I have been watching him evolve and create unbelievable things that actually matter to the planet since I was in my 20s. It's an honor to have Dr. David Edwards on the Hack My Age podcast…25 years later! David Edwards is a Harvard researcher who, I remember around the 90s was researching and designing inhalable medicines and vaccines that could be delivered to the lungs instead of taking a pill or shot. It sounded so sci-fi to me at the time. But he did it. As long as I have known him he has always been working on new ways of improving human health and wellbeing through the air we breathe as well as so many other modalities. In the late 90s he founded and eventually sold a startup called Advanced Inhalation Research (AIR), So, you can see he has been involved in the respiratory system and treating infectious diseases through the airways for quite a long time. For 18 years, David was the Professor of the Practice of Bioengineering at Harvard University in the School of Engineering & Applied Sciences and later transitioned to Associate to lead the startup of FEND and support the startup of the nonprofit Next Breath. in 2004, he was studying how to protect people from one of the most horrible, airborne biological weapons of our time: anthrax. He is now one of the world's leading respiratory health scientists and today is on a mission to help all of us breathe and move about safely during this pandemic with what TIME magazine has called "The best invention of 2020", FEND, and we talk about this really cool gadget today. David's been recognized by many international organizations and has received an incredible number of honors and awards. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering in the US and in France, he's also a member of the National Institute of Inventors, and a Chevalier of the Arts & Letters by the French Ministry of Culture. He loves writing. He gets up super early while we are all sleeping to write. It's a real passion of his. You can check out his recent book Creating Things That Matter, which won a 2018 Nautilus Book of the Year Award. I can go on and on about David, he's done so many brilliant things and he is a true inventor creating a ton of other cool stuff, which we won't get into, because my focus today is his latest invention, FEND and airway hygiene.

Menopause In Athletic Women Is Different - Dr. Stacy Sims

This is a podcast for anyone who is perimenopausal or post menopausal or for anyone who works or lives with this cohort of women from doctors to physical trainers to husbands and brothers. Dr. Stacy Sims is a true pioneer in the field of exercise physiology and nutrition, because she has been unraveling some horrific truths about science and research and how it relates to women. Things like showing how most studies are done on men, because women are "too complicated" with their hormones and cycles, and how many products, drugs and treatments are designed by men for men based on this research. As a researcher, innovator and entrepreneur in human performance, Dr. Sims is truly a beacon of light for all women out there to understand our sex differences in training, nutrition and environmental conditions. She has combined her knowledge and experience in books like ROAR and a new one coming out called Next Level: Your Guide to Kicking Ass, Feeling Great, and Crushing Goals Through Menopause and Beyond. She has also launched some kick ass online programs that women of all ages rave about, but the one we are going to talk about today is MENOPAUSE FOR ATHLETES. I'm now going to give you my honest opinion. This program blew my mind. It is THE best one I have ever gone through. I am already 51 and I have gone through A LOT of them. And I know I am not the only one out there with this opinion. Dr. Sims is highly qualified to talk about topics like menopause, hormones, food and training. Back in 2007, she was the exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist at Stanford University where she specialized in sex differences for recovery and performance. And if you do a Google Search, you will find a ton of studies that Dr. Sims has published. She's really dedicated her life to challenging the existing dogma for women in exercise, nutrition and health and has created an incredible community of feisty menopausal women along the way. She now lives in New Zealand with her family and continues to do the amazing work work she does for all of us from there.

Manage Menopause, HRT & Understand Hormones At 50+ - Dr. Elizabeth Yurth

Today's guest is back for a second time on the show and she is one of my favorite guests. She is a regenerative and anti-aging doctor who has a whole list of qualifications and she's one of the most well-trained doctors on hormones. She's incredibly intelligent and in this episode helps us understand our own hormones and clear the confusion on hormone replacement therapy. I'm talking about the one and only Dr. Elizabeth Yurth who has helped hundreds of women just like us solve joint pain, menopause symptoms like bloating, moodiness and fatigue and just get back to our old balanced and energetic selves. Dr. Yurth is trained in Sports & Spine Orthopedics, Functional & Regenerative Medicine, and even Cellular Medicine. After a long career in orthopedics, Dr. Yurth decided it was time to move her practice forward to the next level and in 2006 co-founded The Boulder Longevity Institute. There they specialize in advanced, research-based longevity medicine that has treatments like Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (yes, please), Regenerative Orthopedic Procedures (yes, please), Regenerative Peptide Therapy (oh yes, please), and Next Generation Regenerative services. It sounds like a sci-fi movie. What makes Dr. Yurth someone we should be listening to? She is double board-certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation AND Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. And although she doesn't look like it, she has a long history as a specialist in Sports, Spine, and Regenerative Medicine that includes a Stanford-affiliated Fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine, and a dual-Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (FAARM) AND Anti-Aging, Regenerative and Functional Medicine (FAARFM) through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). Dr. Yurth has been selected as one of the 25 mastermind physician fellows in SSRP (Seeds Scientific Research and Performance). This means it allows her to stay abreast and teach others in this growing field of cellular medicine. The cool thing for athletic older people, like me, is that she's also an active athlete herself. So she totally gets us! Dr. Yurth lives and breathes active human beings who want to keep moving in their 80s and 90s….heck even 100s…because she lives in the health mecca Boulder, Colorado. DISCLAIMER: All information, content, and material of this interview is for informational purposes only and is not intended to serve as a substitute for the consultation, diagnosis, and/or medical treatment of a qualified physician or healthcare provider.
