    Biohacking for Menopause

    In this episode, I am joined by Leslie Kenny. (Founder of Oxford Healthspan and the Oxford Longevity Project.) Leslie took biohacking to new levels when she reversed her diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis and 'lupus'. Lesley was determined to heal herself and now she shares her account of the self-experimentation that eventually led to her recovery. Autoimmune conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis and thyroid disturbances commonly 'rear their heads' during the perimenopausal period. Western Medicine doesn't always have the answers and Leslie's story is a testament to the role of lifestyle medicine to transform our health and wellness. Now she shares her experiences to help us navigate the menopause transition with our health intact. Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:30 Exploring Biohacking for Menopause and Midlife 02:14 Leslie's Story: From Diagnosis to Remission 07:37 The Power of Diet and Lifestyle Changes 18:12 Understanding Spermidine and Its Benefits 33:11 The Oxford Longevity Project and Future Events 37:25 Wrapping Up and Thanks to Leslie Kenny Biohacking Your Way Through Midlife and Menopause Menopause is a significant life transition that can bring about a myriad of changes and challenges for women. In a world where traditional medical approaches may fall short, exploring alternative methods such as biohacking can offer new perspectives on managing menopausal symptoms and optimising health. Biohacking is a term people use to describe 'do-it-yourself health'. Biohacking involves making incremental changes to achieve a specific goal related to well-being. By optimising health through tailored dietary choices, supplementation, and lifestyle modifications, individuals can harness the power of biohacking to support their well-being through the tumultuous journey of menopause. If you are struggling with any or all of the symptoms associated with Menopause I strongly encourage you to tune in to your body's changing needs and make the changes necessary to take charge of your health. The Secret of Spermidine; A Life-giving Molecule Leslie introduced me to spermidine, a natural polyamine necessary for cell rejuvenation. Spermidine has been shown to promote cellular rejuvenation or autophagy. The process of autophagy has implications for the development of disease and ageing. On the other hand, optimising cellular 'waste management' and rejuvenation is an important consideration if we want to remain fit and healthy into older age. Try incorporating spermidine-rich foods to enhance cellular renewal and combat age-related decline. Spermidine Rich foods include:  Mushrooms Fermented foods Mature cheese including Cheddar Soya beans Beef Mangoes Hazelnuts Peas Chicken Liver Embracing Lifestyle Medicine and Holistic Wellness By embracing biohacking principles, exploring the benefits of spermidine, and integrating lifestyle medicine practices, we can pave a path towards vitality, resilience, and holistic well-being.
