    “Your life is yours to live, no matter how you choose to live it. When you do not think about how you intend to live it, it lives you. When you occupy it, step into it consciously, you live it.”

  • Episode Summary:

    Have you ever heard of peptides or pellets? If yes, you will enjoy this episode. If you no, then this is the opportunity to listen and learn more from Matthew Moody, which will be helpful to you either way.

    Taking the natural approach to health requires that we begin by recognizing the body has the ability to make its own peptides. They are short protein chains of amino acids.

    Peptides serve your body's most important and necessary processes, such as digestion, how your body uses energy from the food you eat, helps indicate how hungry you feel, how your hormones work, and cell movement. Peptide hormones and neuropeptides are the fundamental signaling molecules that mediate cell-cell communication.

    Pellets have become an innovative custom-compounded therapy used for symptoms that are generated from a hormone imbalance. On this episode of YOUNGER you will learn the importance of top-quality sources certain healthcare practitioners use which can significantly help a patient save money and more importantly, provide the best, efficient outcome for the patient.

    Listen and learn from Matthew. Let Dr. Robyn help you find out if these therapies are a good option for you to live an improved, and vital life of regenerative.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.”

  • 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.”

    Quotes:

    “The lymphatic system works similarly, as the blood gets circulated throughout the blood via the blood vessels. Except, instead of carrying blood, the lymphatic vessels carry lymph fluid through the body.”

    “The fluid loss (approximately 2 liters a day) would cause dehydration if the lymphatic system did not take it from the tissues, clean it, and recirculate it into the body (John Stoddard Cancer Center, 2017).”

    “Turmeric is excellent for its naturally occurring anti-inflammatory properties, which can help with inflammation in the body caused by stress and poor diet.”

  • 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 . . .

    “If you feel exhausted just by the idea of hanging out with someone, it’s probably a sign that you should move on.”

    “My three favorite ways to make a space feel better? Ditch the clutter, add more light, and adopt a plant.”

    “In order to cut down on chaos in your life, you’ve got to make it a priority to keep your plate filled with the right amount of work that your mental health can handle. Many times, this means learning how to say ‘no.’”

    “Dedicate time to learn how to love yourself.”

  • 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!

    Quotes:

    “Who would have thought tidying up could improve your life, right?!”

    “When your belongings are in their rightful place, you can reduce the overwhelming feeling of having to put everything away, which can then help you find things when you need them.”

    “Save time! Get organized to allow you do the things you’d rather be doing.”

    “Knowing what you already have can also save you money! When you are disorganized, it is easy to over-purchase at the grocery store because you’ve forgotten what you already have.”

    “When your home is tidy, you’ll feel more at ease with having people stop by for a visit.”

  • Episode Summary:

    Do you know the leading factors that can contribute to Acid Reflux and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)?

    Below we are providing Dr. Hyman's top list, which we found on his Ultrawellness Center website:

    -Eating right before bed.

    -Eating too much.

    -Being overweight can push your stomach up, causing reflux.

    -Chronic stress affects the nerves in your stomach, making it impossible to process the food properly. This will cause food to go up instead of down.

    -Loss of magnesium, which is caused by stress. Magnesium is needed to relax the sphincter at the bottom of your stomach that actually lets the food go down.

    -Food sensitivities may not be diagnosed, including gluten and dairy.

    -Bad bacteria or yeast growing in your stomach. If you have been on a lot of antibiotics, if you have been on hormones, if you eat a lot of sugar and processed food, you could grow bad bugs in your gut, and they ferment and can cause reflux.

    “Did you know that between 4%-10% of adults experience symptoms of acid reflux or GERD on a daily basis, and in Western countries, up to 30% of adults experience symptoms weekly?” ---Dr. Axe, n.d.

    “It is always important to begin by looking at the foods you might be eating which could be exasperating your existing acid reflux and GERD symptoms.”

    According to Dr. Mark Hyman, n.d., director of Ultrawellness Center, “There’s a whole series of causes, everything from what you are eating, to your lifestyle, to stress, to smoking, caffeine, alcohol, to bacteria in your gut, to food sensitivities—all these things can trigger reflux.”

    Quotes:

    “Carbs, or carbohydrates, are one of three macronutrients. Fat and protein are the others. The primary function of macronutrients is to provide the body with energy.”

    “Filling your cart with fresh produce versus cheap frozen and boxed meals can create a difference in your weekly grocery budget. However, the few bucks you save by purchasing unhealthy foods will end up costing you more in the long run.”

    “The fad of going gluten-free has exploded recently. The fact is, only one percent of the population has a genetic condition called celiac disease. People with this condition MUST avoid gluten at all costs.

    The only way to determine a true gluten allergy is with medical testing.”

    “According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein intake is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (or 0.36 grams per pound of body weight). However, they also note that a healthy diet can consist of 10–35% protein.”

  • Episode Summary:

    Obviously, your skin provides the physical barrier to protect what is inside of your body. It also helps to regulate your temperature and act as a route for elimination for fluids like sweat and oils. This is why good lifestyle with disciplines in a self-care practice should be taken seriously.

    Our skin IS ruled by our hormones and is covered in small glands called sebaceous glands. They secrete an oil called sebum that helps lubricate your skin and keep it healthy. Within these glands are receptors that respond to hormones, and react according to factors like hormone levels.

    “There are millions of products out on the market that claims to “fix” your skin issues, but we encourage you to stop chasing the hype and get back to basics when it comes to treating your skin.”

    In this next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will discuss the basics of how to maintain good health through your skin. There are many factors to consider, such as age, diet, exercise, sleep, and stress. Listen as I am inclusive in the opportunity for all to understand its powerful connection to living a youthful and regenerative life.

    Quotes:

    “Too much cortisol can result in acne and thinning skin. Low levels of cortisol can result in changes in skin color and pigmentation.”

    “It’s very common women might experience acne alongside their monthly menstrual cycle due to their estrogen levels dropping!”

    “In the skin, estrogens affect the thickness, wrinkle formation, and moisture levels. Estrogens can also increase glycosaminoglycans such as Hyaluronic Acid, to maintain fluid balance and structural integrity.”

    “Testosterone is the hormone responsible for coarser hair and thicker, oily skin. This hormone is heavily involved in sebum production, and too much can cause acne, clogged pores, and other blemishes.”

  • Key Takeaway Qs to Answer:
     Do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled? Unworthy?
     Did you check all the boxes and built a life, a career, a family but
    still, have an empty feeling as if something is missing?
     Why is soul work important in this day and age?
     Are our listeners bound to still have bad days from time to time
    even after finishing the lessons in the book? How do they go about
    changing that?
     How did you identify the categories for reclaiming your soul and
    breaking them up into six weeks?

    Episode Summary:
    From an early age we’re taught that in order to be worthy, to find true
    happiness, to be “somebody,” we have to accomplish many things. We
    become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to
    send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we’ve “made it.”
    That we are happy.

    But do we ever “make it,” really? Are we truly happy not in the
    “#livingmybestlife” and “#blessed” way in which we caption our social

    media pages, but from a truly contented place of inner peace and joy?
    One where the yearning for the bigger house, the better job, the
    younger, more pliable spouse takes a backseat to the yearnings of our
    hearts and souls, a place where contentment just “is”?

    Episode Summary:

    I am passionate about sharing this topic with people who are eager to ensure they reach and sustain optimal health! According to a study conducted in 2008 by M.D Anderson Cancer Center researchers, 90-95% of all cancer cases are due to lifestyle and environmental factors.

    As quick definition of Cancer refers to a group of related diseases where some of the body’s cells become abnormal, begin to unceasingly divide, and eventually enter into surrounding tissues.

    This can start almost anywhere within the body. The abnormal cells that would have otherwise died off, survive, multiply, and initiate the growth of tumors.

    My hope is this YOUNGER podcast episode will exceed your expectations and help you feel well equipped with the knowledge, resources, and tools to arm you and your loved ones from cancer!

    Episode Summary:

    When forming deep, intimate relationships with a partner, it’s important to feel safe sharing our deepest dreams, desires, fears, past histories, traumas, and goals for the future.

    Interdependence requires some degree of being dependent upon one another wherein each partner influences the other meaningfully, frequently, and vastly.

    Genuine, selfless care is another hallmark of healthy intimate relationships, while trust is the confidence that we place in a partner to act in a way that will not cause us purposeful harm. Trust is a top characteristic when most people are asked to define what they want in a partner, and for good reason!

    Episode Summary:

    Think about it, our bones support the body structurally, protect our vital organs, and allow us to move. To add to the importance of our bone structure for the body, they provide an environment for bone marrow, where blood cells are created, and they act as a storage area for minerals, particularly calcium.

    At birth, we have around 270 soft bones and as we grow, some fuse together leaving the adult human body with 206 bones, 26 of which are in each foot and 54 in each hand and wrist.

    In general, our bones stop growing in length during puberty. Bone density and strength are known to change over the course of life.

    Episode Summary:

    Understanding Anxiety

    Anxiety, according to Oxford Dictionaries, is defined as, “a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome.”

    Everyone experiences this at some point. In fact, anxiety is a somewhat normal reaction to stress as it can initiate our flight or fight response and keep us alert to our surroundings. However, it is important to learn the difference between feelings of anxiety and a true anxiety disorder.

    There are several different anxiety disorders, and they all have defining characteristics that make their diagnoses possible. On my next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will help you distinguish key factors that relate to anxiety, such as:

    Intensity and length of time Impairment Physical manifestations

    I will discuss a variety of anxiety disorders and define what makes each different from one another. You might be learning more about anxiety for the first time for personal self-awareness, or maybe to help your child, a family member or a friend.

    I explain the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) categories of anxiety disorders and how they are listed in three groupings:

    Anxiety Disorders Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Trauma and Stressor-Related Disorders

    There are many different recognized anxiety disorders that all vary in severity. Just remember, these are very serious conditions for those who suffer from them.

    “Anxiety is a complicated topic due to its complexity. This information is important for all of us to feel supported, safe, and aware of the many aspects of this subject.”

    Quotes:

    “I find it disturbing to know when a cancer patient is in an oncology office, the word health rarely comes up in the conversation. This gives the patient a helpless feeling and can be interpreted that it isn’t part of their goal for the patient.”

    “Since I had direct experience with both parents diagnosed with cancer, I discovered what patients and families want the most which is to get their health back. Once the doctor can accomplish this with the patient will not live in fear with the thought of cancer reoccurring again.”

  • Key Takeaways:

    There are TEN TIMES the number of bacteria in our body than our own cells and the majority of them are found within our digestive system. The gastrointestinal system contains 90% of the body’s happy hormone, serotonin. Most importantly, approximately 70% of our immune system is housed in our gut!

    Episode Summary:

    The gut, or gastrointestinal system, is truly a gateway to good health. The gut microbiome is an ecosystem of organisms including bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses, and protozoan throughout the digestive tract.

    Far beyond just digestive health, the following organ systems are also closely related to gut health:

    Immune system Endocrine system Nervous system Circulatory system Integumentary system Respiratory system Reproductive system "The food pyramid might be out of date and confusing to most."

    Many find they have refigured their food pyramid for convenience, without understanding the harm they are doing to their bodies. For many, it consists of:

    Grain at the base; Dairy in the middle; . . . and Sugar at the top. "To be frank, none of these foods have any business being part of your diet at all."

    In this YOUNGER podcast episode, I will help you wake up to how the majority of our diets are now packaged meals with paragraph-long ingredient lists and labels we can’t understand due to convenience. We are all busy and cooking takes time, but if this is your situation, just know you may not be eating real food at all!

    Here are a couple of alarming facts you should know:

    The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved approximately 3,000 different food additives, preservatives, and colorings without adequate research on safety! The average person ingests over 150 pounds of additives each year!

    The impact based on the fact that such chemicals that have been allowed into our lives is incomprehensible and might be considered experimental. As we become more and more aware of the consequences of this fake-food lifestyle we begin to recognize it is simply unacceptable! The disturbing facts above point to only a few key factors in the leaky gut epidemic, but I do find they are the bigger ones!
