Younger with Dr. Robyn Benson

Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked cornerstone of women’s health: the cardiovascular system. Join host Dr. Robyn Benson for a powerful conversation with Andie Crosby, President of Calroy Health Sciences, as they expose why your heart—and more specifically, your blood vessels—should be the first place you look when it comes to living a longer, more vibrant life. Guest Bio: Andie Crosby has over 30 years’ marketing and business development experience working with iconic brands such as Nike, Apple, Gap, Proctor & Gamble and magazines such as Rolling Stone, Glamour, and Vanity Fair. In 2010, her personal interest in health and wellness converged with an opportunity to build and lead the first marketing team at The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). She was the driving force behind a 13x increase in the number of clinicians trained by IFM and a resulting surge in awareness and demand for functional medicine amongst both patients and practitioners. She went on to run the Strategic Partnerships and Innovations team working across the ecosystem to create and nurture alliances to further the adoption of functional medicine.

There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in your body. They supply oxygen and essential nutrients to every organ in your body and carry away toxic waste. If you’re looking for a long and healthy life, taking care of your vascular system must be a top priority.” “Many women are recognizing the importance of physical activity for their cardiovascular health.” “Menopausal Women have greater challenges to maintaining their vascular health due to hormonal shifts.” “Women preparing for the menopause transition, who would like to live a preventative lifestyle consider eating an anti-inflammatory diet, reducing insulin resistance and visceral fat, incorporating strength, aerobic, and flexibility training as rotation in their weekly exercises, and investing in sleep comfort.” "The endothelial glycocalyx is really one of the most important and intensely researched areas in human health in years." ---Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

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.

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.

It is then carried to the thyroid gland, where it is eventually used to make thyroid hormones.” “Thyroid hormones act on almost every kind of cell in your body to increase cellular activity or metabolism. If there is too much or too little thyroid hormone, the metabolism of your entire body is impacted.” “Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It’s an autoimmune disease that tends to run in families and symptoms can take many years to appear.”

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.

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.” Guest Bio: Dr. Robyn Benson is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM) who brings an innovative and game-changing approach to today’s health care.

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.’ Guest Bio: Dr. Robyn Benson is a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (DOM) who brings an innovative and game-changing approach to today’s health care. Robyn offers the most advanced and cutting-edge therapies, procedures, and products designed to renew, restore, and revive health called A.R.T.: Amplified Regenerative Therapies.

Recognize it all goes hand in hand.” “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!

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.

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.

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”?

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.
