AGEIST

Julia Linn was diagnosed with diabetes as a child and by age 30, it was clear that she may only live to 40 with the condition that her organs were in. She decided to have a risky double-organ transplant. She then went through a triple cardiac bypass. When she came upon the anniversary of her life-saving surgery, she decided to pay herself back by giving the gift of health. Now, she is powerfully strong, has gone through an incredible physical transformation, and looks at life in a new way. Julia shares her life of health struggles, how she got to where she is now, her advice for others wanting to transform and take control of their lives, and more. Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker.

I hate my bat wings, I hate this, I hate that.’ I started with the idea that I love what this body has done for me in 62 years and I want to really take care of it, give it the self-care and self-love.” “It’s not that you don’t have the time, it’s that you’re not making the time. We pay attention to what’s important to us.”“Obesity is hard. Getting fit is hard.

How can we optimize our recovery? When is the best time to do HIIT workouts? When is the best time to do strength training? How can we optimize our sleep?Sara Mednick, PhD, professor and author, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to explain the upstate and the downstate and how we need both in order to live better. We also discuss the best times of day to workout, how to optimize our sleep, and the importance of recovery. “Every little cell in your body has a clock and it’s looking for consistencies, consistent patterns. So the more you stay consistent with something, eating behavior, exercise behavior, or even thinking, all of that stuff your body is paying attention to.” “The earlier you eat, the earlier your onset of melatonin, which is your sleep hormone, and the later you eat, the later the onset of melatonin. You’re going to be pushing your ‘I’m getting tired’ signals the later you eat.” “You should keep your feet and your hands outside of the covers when you’re sleeping because it’s the best way for the heat to be constantly leaving your system while keeping your core warm.”Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome to the SuperAge podcast00:00:40 David’s upcoming travel plans00:01:58 Sign up for the SuperAge Mastermind Seminar and Group starting April 12th00:03:13 Call into the SuperAge podcast to ask a question or share a comment: (801) 871-529100:03:49 David answers caller question about weight training00:07:41 Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker00:09:45 Welcome Sara Mednick, PhD00:11:40 What is the upstate and the downstate?00:14:22 About HRV (heart rate variability)00:23:52 Stress adaptation00:26:12 Sleep and recovery 00:28:57 Best time of day to do HIIT and strength training00:33:42 Best time of day for brain performance00:34:16 The importance of time restricted eating00:42:33 When to do the sauna00:47:09 HRV and inversions00:49:17 Recap of the episode Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Call into the podcast to get your question or comment answered on the air: (801) 871-5291Connect with Dr. Sara Mednick:WebsiteBooksSay hi to the AGEIST team!

How can people 50+ benefit from rapidly advancing technology? How will the metaverse and Web3 change our work lives? What about how we connect with our communities? How will the future of technology correct for ageism, racism, sexism? Bradley Schurman, an author, demographic futurist, and opinion maker on all things dealing with the business of longevity, joins us on the SuperAge podcast for a fascinating discussion about rapidly advancing technology like the metaverse and Web3. Bradley explains how we can keep up with these innovations and use them to our advantage. What you will learn in this episode:- What the metaverse and Web3 are- How the metaverse and Web3 will change our work lives and how we connect with our communities- How nursing homes are using technology to keep their residents connected - How the future of technology will correct for discrimination against age, gender, location, appearance - Fraud in the digital space- Why it is so important to stay up to date with these innovations or risk being left behind“Thanks to decades of scientific and social innovation, we are in almost every measure living healthier, longer lives than ever before. So this idea that the age of 65 is somehow a stopping point has really become outdated.”“It’s a lot like a tree. When we’re young, all trees look the same, we all have the same kind of sapling, the same kind of structure. But as we live, we become more diverse. We have different outcroppings of branches, and leaves, and different cycles of when we bud.” “Tech companies’ single biggest problem is ageism. It’s not racism or sexism it is ageism and there is enough data out there to prove that.” “As we enter this new period of time for humans where there are more older people and fewer younger people, technologies like Web3 and Metaverse, they’re going to help us find efficiencies in the system because we simply don’t have enough younger people to take care of the older population.” “There are a lot of constructs in the world so why can’t they be in the virtual world as well? They will be. We’ll carry those constructs with us.” Timestamps:00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast00:00:37 About today's show00:02:38 Call in to leave a voicemail +1 801-871-529100:03:39 Thank you to our sponsor, InsideTracker00:04:52 Introducing Bradley Schurman00:05:11 About Bradley's book, The Super Age00:12:12 About the evolution of technology and the metaverse00:16:52 Healthcare and technology 00:19:27 The metaverse and decreasing job hiring discrimination00:24:39 The adoption & challenges of new technologies 00:34:41 Practical uses of the metaverse00:35:37 Crafting our digital avatars VS. who we are in the real world00:43:40 Fraud in the digital space00:45:53 The issue for those who are resistant to learning new technologies00:52:00 Finding the value in things that we cannot physically interact with 00:58:13 How technology will change our work lives Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods.Have a question you want to be answered by either David or one of our health experts?

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)? How does HBOT aid in longevity, brain health, and cancer treatments? What are the different HBOT protocols and what are the pros and cons of each? How can someone try HBOT? How can one expect to feel after the treatment? Can we do HBOT at home? Dr. Scott Sherr, the director of Integrative Hyperbaric Medicine and Health Optimization at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to share everything we need to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Specifically, he discusses how HBOT promotes longevity, brain health, and aids in post-cancer therapy. He also explains the mechanics of HBOT, who will benefit, and some supplemental healthy habits we all should be doing to optimize our health. What you will learn:What HBOT isWho can benefit from HBOTWho should not do HBOTThe different HBOT protocols and mechanics of the treatmentHealthy habits to optimize your health What is oxidative stress“You can’t argue with the imaging, as far as I’m concerned. You can’t argue with somebody’s brain that’s either had a stroke or traumatic brain injury, gets into a hyperbaric chamber and then you can see their brains come back to life.” “I was asked to speak at a hyperbaric conference during the pandemic and the first title that I had was: ‘Please don’t put them in the chamber.’ Because of course, if you have a therapy, you’re going to want to use it on everybody. So one of the roles that I have in the hyperbaric world is to try to educate people on when is the best time to use the chamber, what types of chambers are best to use for that particular condition, and when to not go into the chamber.” “Senescent cells are also called zombie cells. The reason they’re called zombie cells is because they don’t die and they don’t divide. They just stick around, don’t work anymore, and cause inflammation. As we get older, the population of senescent cells increases, and as they increase so does your risk of cancer, heart disease, and inflammation degeneration.”“What hyperbaric therapy is doing is it’s very much working at the cellular level.” “Everyone can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy at some point in their life. It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.”“More is not always better. It’s not the American way here. We want to fine-tune our protocols so that we’re focused on the brain, or we’re focused on the body.” “Unfortunately the medical paradigm is: drugs first, ask questions later.” Timestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast00:00:38 Update on David’s plant-based diet & continuous glucose monitor00:02:48 Thank you to our sponsor, InsideTracker 00:04:26 Introducing Dr. Scott Sherr00:04:54 Dr. Sherr’s first introduction to HBOT00:09:35 History of HBOT00:11:27 What the Aviv Clinics are up to with HBOT00:15:28 What are senescent cells?00:17:10 The legitimacy of the results from HBOT00:19:51 HBOT and the brain00:23:03 Oxidative stress00:26:50 Dr. Sherr’s HBOT cautions 00:28:55 The mechanics of HBOT 00:36:31 The different types of HBOT chambers00:41:41 HBOT and stem cells 00:43:45 HBOT and cancer00:50:02 At home HBOT chambers00:57:05 HBOT studies00:60:27 Get in touch with Dr. SherrThank you to our sponsor InsideTracker.

What should we be eating for optimal health and to reduce weight gain? How does fat keep us hydrated? Is there a relationship between not drinking enough water and gaining weight? Is there such a thing as drinking too much water? Professor, clinician, obesity researcher, and author Richard S. Johnson, MD joins us on the SuperAge podcast to share his breakthrough research on obesity. He explains the causes of obesity, how being underhydrated impacts obesity and much water we should drink, what diet we should avoid, and more. What you will learn in this episode:How animals (and humans) become obese The difference between fructose and glucoseHow fructose directly impacts weight gain  What we should avoid eatingHow much water we should drink Timestamps:00:00:00 Welcome to the SuperAge podcast00:03:40 Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker00:05:42 Introducing Dr. Richard Johnson00:06:01 About Dr. Johnson’s book, “Nature Wants Us to be Fat” 00:08:16 How animals gain fat for survival00:10:00 The impact of eating fructose 00:18:36 How fat and fructose interact00:29:38 The difference between fructose and glucose 00:37:51 Athletes and metabolic flexibility 00:42:01 Dehydration and weight gain 00:50:45 Overhydration 00:53:04 The impact of fruit juice “If you eat too much and you exercise too little, you’re going to gain weight.” “It’s the sugar-fed animals that get diabetes.

It’s the sugar-fed animals that develop hypertension.” “When the body thinks it doesn’t have enough energy, it goes into a survival mode. And it stores fat, stores carbohydrates as glycogen, becomes insulin resistant.”“We actually could reverse obesity in animals that were overweight on sugar by increasing their water intake.” “I encourage everyone to hydrate better.

What are the benefits of wearable trackers and how do they work? What is heart rate variability (HRV)? How do trackers understand when we’re in light sleep, deep sleep, or REM sleep? What is the optimal time spent for each sleep cycle? What does the future for wearable trackers look like? Wearable trackers take the guesswork out of our health. Instead of going off of a feeling, you can now get personalized data on what’s really going on; that’s why we are such big fans of trackers. Caroline Kryder, the Science Communications Lead at Oura Ring, joins us on the podcast to share all about wearables trackers from how they work to how we can use them to optimize our health.What you will learn in this episode: How wearable trackers worksHow wearable trackers provide highly personalized data to improve your healthThe different sleep cyclesHow sleep and rest help performance What the future holds for wearable trackersTimestamps: 00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast00:00:32 David’s plant based diet experiment 00:01:43 Introduction to wearable health trackers00:08:16 Thank you for InsideTracker for sponsoring this episode00:09:17 Introducing Caroline Kryder00:09:40 How Oura Ring measures sleep and how much of each sleep stage we should get00:16:16 How Oura Ring works00:17:27 Heart Rate Variability (HRV) 101 00:23:01 The power of rest00:25:28 Novel uses of Oura Ring00:35:28 The future of Oura Ring "You don't get to self-care until you get to self-knowledge." “REM sleep is really focused on restoring the mind and deep sleep is really focused on restoring your body.” “We’re used to using soreness as an indicator of an effective workout because that’s the only thing that you could feel. If you felt like you’d been hit by a bus, it was probably working. When in fact, there’s some training that you shouldn’t actually feel any muscle soreness.” Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker.
