    Could it be your Thyroid?

    Could it be your Thyroid?

    Episode Summary:
    The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge in the middle—picture the shape of a butterfly.
    On my next YOUNGER podcast episode called, “Could It Be Your Thyroid?” we explain how Thyroid issues can be under diagnosed, what Thyroid Lab Tests to ask request from your practitioner, and the best ways you can supplement your body specifically for a healthy Thyroid.
    We know how difficult it is to determine if you have a thyroid disease, this is mainly because the symptoms are similar to many other health problems. Many doctors simply don’t have the time to discuss symptoms with patients and sort out the cause of their complaints.
    If you’re trying to talk to your health professional about your thyroid worries and they aren’t taking you seriously, seek a second opinion, and be your own advocate. Speak up!
    Dr. Christi Alsop is our Hashimoto’s thyroiditis expert practitioner at Santa Fe Soul Center for Regenerative Medicine.  Our team is here for you so make sure when you call us, we can schedule a time to help you gain insights related to a regenerative lifestyle and more.

    Slow Aging Inside and Out with Food-Derived Spermidine

    Slow Aging Inside and Out with Food-Derived Spermidine

    Episode Summary:
    On my next YOUNGER podcast episode, I interview the founder of Oxford-HealthSpan, a company that is now producing a high-quality spermidine called Primaeadine®.
    Many health practitioners are learning more spermidine. You will learn how it is a naturally-occurring and potent polyamine (a kind of protein) known for inducing autophagy, the body's cellular renewal and recycling process. It also inhibits 9 of the 12 Hallmarks of Aging, the paths down which we age.
    Oxford-HealthSpan is backed by leading longevity experts, to produce products formulated with the oversight of internationally recognized longevity scientists and doctors, including Oxford University Emeritus Professor of Physiology, Denis Noble and Immunology Professor and Autophagy Expert, Katja Simon, "Best in Medicine" Longevity Doctor and Author of ‘The Kaufmann Anti-Aging Protocol’, Dr. Sandy Kaufmann, Celebrity Anti-Aging Doctor and Psychoneuroimmunologist, Dr. Olivia Lesslar, and Head of the UK's first-of-its-kind Space Innovation Lab and Autophagy Researcher, Dr. Ghada Alsaleh, among others.
    Guest Bio:
    Leslie Kenny, is the founder of Oxford HealthSpan. She is an Oxford based entrepreneur born in California and a graduate of Berkeley and Harvard Business School.
    In her 30s, her life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with an array of autoimmune conditions - lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. Her doctors told her there was no cure and that they could only be managed with strong immunosuppressants.
    This didn't sit right with her. Coming from a Taiwanese background, she was raised with the mentality that its best to work with your body’s innate wisdom to heal itself. Why would she suppress her immune system rather than support it in its natural abilities?
    On a quest to revive her own health, she went back to school at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC. Her passion for health optimization grew and her career took an interesting and unexpected turn when she moved to Oxford and began working with Oxford University scientists and doctors.
    Key Takeaways:
    ·      The science behind spermidine
    ·      Synthetic or not
    ·      Clean ingredients and whole-plant derived spermidine
    ·      3rd Party lab testing
    ·      Who benefits
    ·      Suggested dosage

    Quotes:
    “2/3 of the spermidine found in the human body is produced endogenously, or in the body, by the gut microbiota and various tissues. The final 1/3 is found exogenously, or externally, in the food that we eat.”
    “As we age, our body's ability to produce it declines. To restore youthful levels of spermidine, we have to look externally. Otherwise, our cells' ability to trigger autophagy will continue to decline and the aging pathways will progress.”

    Optimizing Your Lymphatic System

    Optimizing Your Lymphatic System

    Episode Summary:
    According to Cancer Research UK, this works because, “as the blood circulates around the body, fluid leaks out from the blood vessels unto the body tissues. This fluid carries food to the cells and bathes the body tissues to form tissue fluid. The fluid then collects waste products, bacteria, and damaged cells, as well as any cancer cells if present. This fluid then drains into the lymph system. The lymph then flows through the lymph vessels into the lymph glands, which filter out any bacteria and damaged cells.”
    Once filtered, the lymph leaves the glands and moves into larger lymphatic vessels to the thoracic duct at the base of the neck. Lymph is then released back into the bloodstream, free of any harmful infection or bacteria.
    The lymphatic system also helps to maintain fluid balance within the body.
    “Lymph contains a high number of white blood cells called lymphocytes that work to target and destroy damaged or abnormal cells from the body.”

    Being Mindful in the Midst of Chaos

    Being Mindful in the Midst of Chaos

    Episode Summary:
    Everyday life offers lots of challenges. Today, more than ever, I would like to discuss natural mindful pathways that will help us shift the way we cope with them in the midst of chaos!
    Each one of us has a host of stresses that we deal with. At work, at home, in our relationships, and in our own head. This next YOUNGER podcast episode is a place for you to consider new ways to handle that stress in a mentally healthy way – with mindfulness and self-care.
    While you’ve probably heard of both these terms, you may not be completely familiar with them. So, before we move on, let’s define “Mindfulness.”
    What is Mindfulness?
    Mindfulness is the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.
    Before you start taking steps to control the way your mind reacts to chaos and difficult situations, it’s important to learn how to be conscious of the chaos and how it affects you. Then, you can take measures to mend or re-direct your cognitive process.
    Historically, we haven’t—as a society—been taught to give our mental health the attention it deserves. As a result, we’ve learned to sweep issues under the rug, grin and bear it through toxic relationships, and overload our schedules because we’re afraid to say ‘no.’

    Key Takeaways:
    Prioritize your mental health, as well as, your physical health Realize you can’t fix a problem that does not belong to you. Distance yourself from those who bring more pain than joy! Break-Up with friends who don’t support you. Take the space you need from toxic family members. We are all on different paths. Learn to say ‘NO’ Bow out gracefully (exit without stressing out) Surround yourself with people who support you Create spaces that brings you calmness Curate good energy with positivity reminders Generate positivity by spreading compliments Check into how you think about others Check-in with how you speak about yourself Use your breath as a tool Consider yoga for your mental health Find outlets for stress and anxiety Give yourself time to feel your feelings Keep a gratitude journal Spend some time getting to know yourself View resources, and more . . .

    The ART of Tidying Up

    The ART of Tidying Up

    Episode Summary:
    While some people love to organize, others think it is a chore. Many patients are surprised to hear the number of health benefits associated with an organized life.
    According to WebMD, taking a few minutes to organize your space during a slump in your day can give you a much-needed energy boost. Allowing yourself to finish your day by getting your desk or workspace organized can help you work more efficiently the next day, and help you have peace of mind to relax at the end of the day.
    Interestingly, a study from Psychological Science found people who are organized also have better-eating habits. Avoid snacking on junk food at their desk by keeping it free from clutter. It is more likely you might opt in for an apple than that candy bar. As we know, one good choice often leads to another!
    Brushing up on your organizational skills can positively impact your sleep. This benefit is twofold.
    A clutter-free space is more relaxing and invites rest. Additionally, being organized will prevent you from lying awake thinking about all the things to be done tomorrow.
    This leads to the no-brainer, being organized reduces stress. How many times are you in a rush but can’t find something you're looking for? This sets a negative tone for the rest of the day. According to a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, people with cluttered homes were more depressed, fatigued, and had higher cortisol levels.
    My goal on this episode of YOUNGER is to share the benefits of being organized, including a great technique to help you make this task less daunting. Let’s get started!
