65. The Peptide Longevity Program To Reverse Biological Age - Dr. Bill Lawrence (Part 1/2)
This is part one of a 3 hour podcast with Dr. Bill Lawrence who 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. You can listen to that episode from November here. 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!)

64. Hack Autoimmune Disease With The Wahls Protocol - Dr. Terry Wahls
Today's guest is the amazing Dr. Terry Wahls. I became a big fan of Dr. Wahls ever since I first heard her speak on the very first TED talk I ever listened to about 10 years ago on her journey into multiple sclerosis, which went totally viral and now has over 3 million views. Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she now conducts groundbreaking clinical trials. In 2018 she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine's Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care and patient advocacy. What makes her truly unique in her practice is that she is also a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which originally confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. That's a pretty darn long time. But still lightyears shorter than most anyone else who is diagnosed with MS who may be relegated to a wheelchair for the rest of their life and ultimately bedridden as the disease progresses. Dr. Wahls' personal story is unbelievably inspirational, because she restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program that she designed specifically for her brain and now rides her bike to work every day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles, and the cookbook, The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life. This is a protocol that she has been using with her patients in her clinical practice improving the quality of life for 1000s of patients living with MS. She is not messing around with pseudoscience either. She conducts her own research now and has published over 60, that's a 6 – 0 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts and papers. If you cant wait to learn more about her MS clinical trials you can head over to https://wahls.lab.uiowa.edu/ Pick up a FREE one-page handout for the Wahls™ Diet at https://terrywahls.com/diet/ Join The Virtual Wahls Protocol® Seminar in 2022 and learn research-backed wellness information and practice the skills that will empower you to navigate your autoimmune or chronic disease. 4-Part Virtual Event Series over ZOOM.

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.

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.

59. Don't Fall For Middle Age Sex & Skin Myths - Dr. Amy Killen
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".
