  • In EPISODE 182 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. Thomas Weimbs and Dr. Gillian Lockitch discuss the prevalence and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which affects one in seven adults in the U.S. Dr. Weimbs highlights the importance of diet and lifestyle in managing CKD, particularly through ketogenic metabolic therapy. He explains that ketosis, induced by a low-carbohydrate diet, can slow the progression of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) by reducing inflammation and improving kidney function. Dr. Weimbs describes the Ren-Nu program, a three-month nutrition and lifestyle intervention for kidney disease patients, which has shown significant improvements in kidney function and pain reduction for many participants. Whether you’re affected by kidney disease, have a family history, or are simply interested in how nutrition and epigenetic strategies can support healthy aging, this episode will provide invaluable insights.

    Thomas Weimbs PhD is a leading expert in kidney disease research. He is a professor at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) where he directs a research laboratory focused on polycystic kidney disease. He received his doctoral degree from the University of Cologne, Germany, and then conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California in San Francisco. In 1999, as an assistant professor, he started his first independent research laboratory at the Lerner Research Institute of the Cleveland Clinic. There, his research on polycystic kidney disease began with the support of a local family affected by PKD and whose family foundation still supports PKD research in Dr. Weimbs’ lab today. In 2005, Dr. Weimbs moved his laboratory back to California to join the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UCSB. The laboratory studies molecular mechanisms underlying PKD with an emphasis towards developing new therapies. Recent research has led to the discovery that dietary interventions and natural metabolites strongly slow PKD progression in animal models. This led to the launch of Santa Barbara Nutrients with the goal to make these approaches available for the nutritional management of PKD.

  • EPISODE 172 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER focuses on aging gracefully and the wisdom we acquire through a life well lived. Most people would agree that the most powerful factor in aging well is a positive mindset, the absolute belief that you can age youthfully and in good health. Imagine having a treasure trove of examples of resilience, positivity and insight at your fingertips for inspiration. In today's episode, I talk to Skye Bergman about her book, “Lives Well Lived - Generations”, in which she celebrates the stories of 40 older adults with a collective life experience of 3000 years. Their stories were first featured in her PBS documentary Lives Well Lived. Skye Bergman is a professor emerita of photography and video at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Her artwork is in prestigious museum collections, and her commercial work has appeared in renowned magazines such as The Smithsonian. Following her 30 year teaching career, Sky's passion is creating films and projects that inspire intergenerational connections through emphasizing the power of shared stories. Following airing of her documentary, she curated her book to share the wisdom from the film. The life stories highlight purpose, connection, the art of thriving through life's up and downs, and celebrating life's essence across generations.

  • In EPISODE 169 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, I again talk with Jennifer Powers PhD, co-author with Luke Comer, of the newly released book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance your Quality of Life. We explore foundational areas in which evolutionary mismatch between humans and modern society may lead to various diseases and pathologies. In Part 1 we focussed on the importance of accommodating our sleep and nutrition lifestyles in the context of contemporary life, while respecting our ancestral blue print. In this episode, Part 2, we explore the ancient balance between work and rest in the hunter-gatherer lifestyle, realizing that it is challenging to balance productivity and well-being in the modern workplace with the need to reconnect with nature for personal well-being. We acknowledged the evolving science on climate change and the need to balance technological advancements with preserving the natural environment.
    Jenny Powers is a mom, a writer, a scientist and an athlete from Colorado. Jenny's PhD is in immunology, but she left academia to be a mom and to pursue a writing career. Up to that point, she had only written scientific journal articles and fiction for middle grade children. The opportunity to research and write on the origin of being with Luke Comer, allowed her scientific training and passion for writing to come together harmoniously.

  • In EPISODE 168 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER I talk with Jennifer Powers PhD, co-author with Luke Comer, of the newly released book, On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance your Quality of Life. I found this book to be both a fascinating and captivating read, and an intensively researched and reference text. So the overall thesis of the book is that the environment that we live in today is radically different from the one in which we evolved. And the agricultural revolution when we stopped being hunter gatherers, and later the Industrial Revolution, exponentially accelerated the rate of change in our lifestyles. It takes a immeasurably long time for the evolutionary process to occur in the human body and we have not had the time for our bodies to genetically adjust to our environment. This evolutionary mismatch is a key factor in many of the disorders of modern life.

  • In EPISODE 167 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER we discuss how Tina Huang came to integrate her neuroscience background with a holistic approach to brain health, and the importance of identifying and managing environmental toxins, molds and other pathogens in addressing aging processes in the prevention of chronic diseases. We discuss the challenges of relying on the media for accurate reporting new research when many journalists don’t go back to the original articles they report on, and articles are posted with attention-grabbing headlines that don’t reflect the content of the paper. Dr. Tina shares her personal experiences of being silenced in academia, and of later being affected by mold toxicity. She received her Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Rochester, and postdoctoral fellowships in psychiatric and nutritional epidemiology from Johns Hopkins and Tufts University. She has published pivotal research in the field of Alzheimer's disease and brainwave entrainment, Now as a Holistic Brain Health Practitioner, she uses a combination of neuroscience and medical intuition to help sensitive souls quickly and efficiently address root causes, regardless of relationships, surrounding or symptoms. She recently received the 2024 Yocale award for her excellent reviews
