Paul was in the first medically verifiable trial making people younger. How does it work? Why is this important? Is it even the right thing to do? Why is he doing it again?Is it possible for us to prevent the breakdown of our physical bodies? What is standing in our way from increasing our lifespan? Do we owe it to future generations to take radical steps to live longer?The TRIIM (Thymus Regeneration, Immunorestoration, and Insulin Mitigation) trial is literally making people younger. This trial has proven that we can regrow the thymus with human growth hormones and the help of metformin. Why is this important? Our thymus is the master gland of immunity. As we age, so does our thymus which leads to the collapse of our immune system and increases our risk of death. Being able to regrow the thymus means that we can add years to our lifespan, like Paul Hynek did. Paul Hynek is the son of J. Allen Hynek, American astronomer and UFO researcher, and professor at Pepperdine. Paul's personal lifespan was increased by 4 years after participating in the groundbreaking TRIIM trial. This was the first time in history that someone was tested by Steve Horvath's epigenetic clock test and actually tested younger than they previously had. Paul shares with us the revolutionary results that the TRIIM trial had, what this means for the future of humanity, and what it means to be a transhumanist. This trial is now accessible to the public through Intervene Immune. You can learn more about the TRIIM trial and Intervene Immune at http://interveneimmune.com/interveneimmune.com/“If people 100 years ago had said, “You know what? Lifespan of 40-50 years thats enough. We don’t need to do anything more”, you and I wouldn’t be here now. So, we owe it to future generations to do what we can to extend healthy life span.”“Why wait for things to go wrong to restore them? Get ahead of all of these diseases and increase lifespan.”“We’re not talking about 30 extra years in a wheelchair. We’re talking about extra time of robust health.”Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your pods. Say hi to the AGEIST team!

What is holding you back from committing to yourself? What would it take for you to become your own hero? Does trying something out of your comfort zone intimidate you? Jolie Glassman, the owner and operator of South Beach Boxing, coaches the young and old through psychological blocks with the help of intense boxing training. Since opening her gym in 1998, Jolie has trained countless students and athletes. She has a palpable passion for helping her students feel their best, physically and mentally. From building integrity to committing to something greater than themselves, Jolie’s students are coached like athletes and taught that if you want to be strong, you have to do what strong does. While many of her students come to her to lose a couple pounds or to build more muscle, they leave her gym with much more -- mental and physical strength, drive, and respect for themselves. Jolie discusses how she helps her students commit to themselves, how to overcome a self doubt mindset, and what makes us strong. “When you’re confident and you’re strong, you can figure anything out. So that’s what I teach: strength and confidence.”“‘I can’t’ is not an option. ‘I quit’ is not an option. We are chasing mastery so we are relentless in the pursuit of getting better.”“People think strong is not feeling the emotion. It’s the opposite. It’s feeling it and going through it.” Listen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about Jolie and her gym, South Beach Boxing:www.JolieGlassman.com www.SouthBeachBoxing.comInstagram: @jolieglassman & @southbeachboxingSay hi to the AGEIST team!

What is the proper way to fuel our bodies? Should we be following a specific diet? What foods do I need to eat before a workout? What’s the deal with MCTs, being in ketosis, and intermittent fasting? The list of diet “religions” go on and on from paleo, vegan, keto, low fat, macro counting and with so much contradictory and controversial information about food, we wanted to get to the bottom of how we should really be fueling our bodies. Ashley Reaver, InsideTracker’s in-house nutritionist, walks us through what protein, carbohydrates, and fats are, and what benefits they have for our body, how to increase muscle mass while decreasing body fat, the fallacies surrounding macronutrients, and more. “One of my favorite things is to work with people and I encourage them to eat more for and the feedback: “I have so much more energy!” It’s funny when you feed your body, how you can feel. Being constantly tired is not normal.”“There is no reason to eat a 16g fat diet. Please do not do it, it is not worth it. You will still look great in your bikini at 60 grams of fat and you’ll feel a heck of a lot better.”“Coconut oil itself is actually higher in saturated fats than butter is. Yes, it’s from a plant. But your body is going to use that saturated fat the exact same way as it would if you were putting lard on things. It’s pretty equivalent too lard, truthfully.” “Just like you and I work better on a schedule, if we’re waking up at the same time, roughly eating at the same time, going to bed at the same time, we feel our best, your digestive tract also deserves the same time of schedule and rest and your body likes a schedule and your digestive tract certainly fits into that as well.”Listen to The SuperAge podcast where you get your podcasts. Say hi to the AGEIST team!

How do you become a champion? What is the champion mind versus the human mind? What is the friction in your life that is holding you back from moving forward and achieving the unfathomable? At the age of 11, Dr. Jeff Spencer wrote a contract with himself committing to becoming an Olympian. At the age of 21 he fulfilled that promise and became an Olympic cyclist. Now a sports chiropractor and elite performance coach, Dr. Jeff Spencer builds champions. He helps athletes, entrepreneurs, and high achieving individuals achieve the impossible. “We have two oppositional mentalities that make up our human nature that are at war with each other 24 hours a day. One wants to talk us out of it… “What do I stand to lose here?” That’s our human mind. The champion's mind: “What do I stand to gain here?” What began as an inspiring and motivating podcast about mindset and pushing past limitations, turned into a moving discussion about Dr. Jeff’s experience becoming a father to his adopted daughter, the lessons he has learned through fatherhood, and the deep fulfillment he finds from witnessing her successes. His biggest challenge and his greatest victory was his daughter. As he says, the Olympics, the 9 Tour de France's, coaching the best athletes in the world, only prepared him for the biggest challenge of his life: fatherhood. He approached this stage of his life with a “leave nothing on the field’ mindset to save his daughter's life. Dr. Jeff Spencer truly embodies what it means to tap into your highest potential and achieve miracles. Listen to our full conversation on The SuperAge podcast, available on all podcast streaming sites. https://www.drjeffspencer.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!

Overweight, diabetic, hypertensive, on prescription meds, and starting to see the early signs of fatal chronic diseases at only 39 years old, Dr. Kien Vuu asked himself, “How did I get here? And how do I get out of here?” Working as an interventional radiologist and at the top of his professional game, he knew he had to take a 360 degree, holistic approach to healing his quickly declining health. “I told myself that I chose diabetes, I chose hypertension by the choices that I had made in life and that to me was very empowering because if I could choose those symptoms, then I could choose a way out of it.”Dr. Kien Vuu’s bioenergetic model of health focuses on proper nutrition full of low glycemic foods, personal development to heal emotional traumas, connection to your community, and regenerative medicine. Following these lifestyle changes, Dr. Vuu had reversed all of his chronic conditions and came off of his prescription medications in just 4-6 months. He now works to empower others who have found their health in a similar downward decline by offering a functional wellness plan of small lifestyle changes that will return huge reward and make them stronger, fitter, faster, and happier than ever before. Listen to our full conversation on the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your podcasts. You can learn more about Dr. Vuu’s breakdown of how to live better in his fascinating and informative book, “Thrive State: Your Blueprint for Optimal Health, Longevity, and Peak Performance”. Say hi to the AGEIST team!

How do we live to our potential today? What role does movement and exercise have, and how much is enough? How does hormone replacement help for women? What about HRT for men? Dr. Vonda Wright shares her insights on everything from the effects of exercise after 40, 50, and 60 to the benefits of foam rolling for recovery and performance and hormones. She wants to be healthy, active, vital, and joyful for the rest of her lifespan, and she wants to help others in doing the same by bridging the gap between their health span and lifespan. Fortunately, her research and experience as an orthopedic surgeon, speaker, and author has given her the knowledge to do just that.“What gets me up in the morning, David, is the knowledge that by saving your mobility, I’m going to save your life because there’s not one pill besides exercise and smart nutrition that effects all the diseases that we are commonly plagued with. So that’s what gets my out of bed everyday as an orthopod and an author and a speaker.” “We know that 68% of people do not do any kind of mobility any day of the week. And that’s why about 60% of people in this country can qualify as obese and 30% of our children are obese. And 17% of our children, that we raised, now have diabetes. We need to do something about this now.“Listen to The SuperAge podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Sponsored by InsideTracker: https://bit.ly/3pNeEdUDr. Vonda Wright: https://www.drvondawright.comDr. Vonda Wright’s books: https://www.drvondawright.com/author-and-expert/HOT For Your Health Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hot-for-your-health/id1055206993Additional Resource: https://estrogenmatters.com  Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Why is it easier for younger people to put themselves out into the world? Do you find it challenging to claim your strengths? Do you diminish yourself to make others comfortable? Dr. Tracy Packiam Alloway has enlisted her knowledge and experience as an award-winning psychologist and author of 14 books to tackle these very issues. She discusses how simply changing the words we speak about ourselves can have a powerful effect on how we view ourselves, how to claim your individual strengths (and why doing so will change how you are perceived by others), how we can connect in a meaningful way through social media, and how narcissism can be a positive “My view is that narcissism is very helpful and it can be very hurtful. Like any aspect of personality, there’s extremes on either side. And so people who are narcissistic can take their ideas and make it happen and be a good leader, but there can be a point of too much as well.” “Show don’t tell. If you want people to see your greatness, don’t tell them “Hey! I’m great”, show them what you’re great at.” www.tracyalloway.comListen to The SuperAge podcast wherever you get your podcasts. Say hi to the AGEIST team!

The founder of Nerve, Babble and now The Swell, Alisa Volkman is confronting the question of why do we feel so awkward at an age when we should be feeling more grown? She is on a mission to reimagine the language and community surrounding midlife. Her newest venture, The Swell, was just launched when she was confronted with the unfortunate discrepancy between how the marketplace spoke to and about midlife and what midlife actually felt like. We discuss how do we engage in lifelong learning? Build robust community? How do we feel more of ourselves as we are now living longer and healthier than ever.“The beauty of hitting this life stage is, you have acquired a fair amount of experience and wisdom along the way and so you have the advantage of wisdom and disadvantage of less time left. And the tension between those two things creates a lot of new urgency and discipline.” https://www.theswell.comListen to the SuperAge podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Say hi to the AGEIST team!

In her 50s, Lynn Power pivoted from CEO of a large ad agency to entrepreneur, starting her Japanese-formulated natural hair care company MASAMI.  With humor and grace, she tells David about the ageism she experienced when looking for investors, the importance of diversity in any company, and the secret to making hair care products that are hydrating yet light.“This investor, who is probably about 65 by the way...interrupted Bill and said, ‘How old is she?’ And Bill said…’She’s 51’ and he literally said, ‘Nope. It will never work. She’s too old.’ ”https://www.lovemasami.comSay hi to the AGEIST team!

What if you could find out how fast you are aging, and make changes to slow your aging process? Researcher and professor at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Morgan Levine has been working to make this happen by identifying genetic and behavioral factors that influence lifespan and healthspan. She contributed to a recent article in Nature along with David Sinclair showing a striking scientific advance in turning back time. She discusses her research, what it has achieved — including the regrowth of damaged optical nerves in mice — and where it is headed, as well as her work creating the Index test for Elysium Health which can help us keep tabs on our progress over time. “Really where the power of these is going to be is in intervention and personal health.”Dr. Morgan Levine at Yale School of MedicineElysium HealthSay hi to the AGEIST team!
