    How Leslie Kenny Reversed Aging, Healed Three Autoimmune Diseases, and Became 21 Again, at 60 Years Old

    On this week’s episode I’m joined by Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan and the Oxford Longevity Project. This conversation was one of the most profound transformations I’ve heard.  At 39, while facing infertility and undergoing IVF, Leslie was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. She was told she only had five years to live and they couldn’t help her with any treatments.  Refusing to accept this prognosis, Leslie started a life changing transformation to reclaim her health and save her life. Through eliminating inflammatory triggers, restoring balance in her body, and supporting its natural healing process, she renewed her health from the inside out. At now 60 years old, she is autoimmune disease-free, conceived naturally at 43 and has the biological age of 21.  In this deeply inspiring episode, Leslie opens up about her challenging story, sharing the lifestyle and dietary changes that made the biggest impact, and revealing the one hidden trigger almost everyone overlooks.
