Hack My Age

This is Part 2 in a series covering supplements with holistic nutritionist Melanie Murphy. Do supplements really work or are they just snake oil? Melanie covers all the basics of supplementation Do's and Don'ts, who needs them, who doesn't, how to measure their efficacy and how to choose a brand that is safe and effective. 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.

Today's guest is Dr. Dale Bredesen - an expert in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease. He wrote a groundbreaking book and New York Times bestseller that you probably have already heard of : The End of Alzheimer's (2017) and then several years later wrote a follow up book: The End of Alzheimer's Program (2020). And just several weeks ago he published a new book called "The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words". This is a great book to hear first hand real stories of people who have reversed their Alzheimer's diagnosis. Dr. Bredesen is a professor at UCLA, but he has also taught at UC San Francisco and the University of California San Diego. He directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition where we have a progressive decline in cognitive function, like thinking and reasoning. People with Alzheimer's are eventually unable to do any activities of daily living, simple things like bathing, driving and dressing. It's the most common form of dementia in people over the age of 65; about one in 10 people over 65 has Alzheimer's disease, but if you're a woman, your risk is 1 in 5. Nearly half of all people over age 85 are affected by Alzheimer's. That's 50%! What's crazy is that almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women. So we explore why this is with Dr. Bredesen today and what we can do to lower our risk. Most doctors and experts in this field say there is no cure for Alzheimer's. But Dr. Bredesen blatantly says that Alzheimer's is absolutely 100% reversible and preventable. He is going against the grain with his research, which he has been working on for decades. He's been consulting patients and getting results with his ReCODE protocol, while traditional treatments haven't.

Dr. Michael Platt clears the confusion on bioidentical hormones and what this can mean for women going into menopause. We also talk about adrenaline dominance. You may have heard of estrogen dominance, but this is very different. I first heard Dr. Platt on Dave Asprey's podcast in 2019 and I was very intrigued by what he said about progesterone. I had a client dealing with fibromyalgia, so I was eager to share the information on how progesterone may help. And we will talk about this too. Dr. Platt is board-certified in internal medicine and has been practicing since 1972! This was back in the day when doctors spent an hour one-on-one with their clients. He's watched the whole medical system evolve over the last 5 decades. He even used to work in elder care medicine as a director of 30 nursing homes in Los Angeles, which made him appreciate the importance of preventative medicine. He is really well known in the health and wellness circles around the world for his research on progesterone, adrenaline dominance and bio-identical hormones. Some of us call them human identical hormones too. He wrote 3 award winning books about it all The Miracle of Bio-Identical hormones Adrenaline Dominance – A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness The Platt Protocol for Hormone Balancing Dr. Platt is now the director of the Platt Wellness Center in Rancho Mirage, California (or is it in Palm Desert?). Over the last 40 years in his practice, Dr. Platt has been helping his patients overcome conditions that many doctors say are impossible to cure….like bi-polar disorder, fibromyalgia and ADHD. He has helped tens of thousands of people with their health issues and live full, happy lives. Now you may be wondering why this man knows so much about women's health. Well, he delved into the world of hormones after his own mother died prematurely of breast cancer at only 61. If he only knew then what he knows now... I also lost my mother prematurely to breast cancer when she was only 57, so this is a topic that is of huge personal interest…particularly as I get closer to menopause.

Gerontologist Dr. Paul Nash explains the latest research and the truth on ageism, discrimination and stereotypes experienced by older adults around the world. He exposes the challenges as well as opportunities an older population may face throughout the years. Now let me introduce my favorite professor…Dr. Paul Nash from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology where I am currently studying for my Masters of Gerontology. I am halfway through this program and honestly, the course I took on the Mind Body Connection with Dr. Nash was THE most fascinating and practical for me yet. Today we are going to discuss the topics from his book "Critical Questions for Ageing Societies" such as ageism, intersectionality, intergenerational conflict and the discrimination and prejudices against older adults. And we get to learn why positive attitudes to aging may help us live up to 7 years longer! Originally from the UK, Dr. Nash has a PhD in psychology and for the past 3 years is an instructional associate professor at USC. Before he came to USC, he ran the Masters of Science in Ageing Studies program at Swansea University and taught masters and PhD students. Swansea University is famous for their Centre for Innovative Ageing (CIA), which is THE largest gerontology research centre in Wales and one of the largest in the UK. Dr Nash has coordinated national research projects in Wales, working with private and public organizations and older people to create publications and reports to influence government policy. He has held several leadership positions in the UK including being the Honorary Secretary for the British Society of Gerontology and working with the World Health Organization on ageism. He has been appointed to the Global Social Initiatives on Ageing taskforce for the International Association of Gerontology & Geriatrics. He is partnering with several non-profit organizations on his research into HIV and ageing as well as ageism and intergenerational contact. Dr. Nash is now bringing all his work into practice with his current position as a Commissioner on the Los Angeles County Commission on HIV.

Maria Ashna is a neuroscience researcher, educator, actor and writer specializing in the neuroscience of creativity.

She studied neuroscience and theatre for her undergraduate degree and also trained at the Stanislavski Summer Institute, a joint advanced theatre training program with the American Rep Theatre at Harvard University and the Moscow Art Theatre School.

I recently met Maria during my Masters program in Gerontology at USC and was very impressed by her knowledge of the brain, but also her completely contrary background in art. But there is a lot that is complementary between the arts and the brain that Maria shares with us.
