Are you interested in slowing down the aging process?  Would you like to learn more about some of the most exciting buzz words in the aesthetic industry - exosomes, growth factors and stem cells? In this riveting episode, we sit down with Drew Taylor, Co-Founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, the regenerative medicine company at the forefront of a new era in anti-aging and longevity. Acorn Biolabs offers people the ability to preserve their own stem cells for use in future cosmetic treatments, including skin rejuvenation and hair regrowth, via a process called cryopreservation. While further research is underway, these advanced treatments also show promise in benefiting orthopedic conditions and the treatment of certain diseases in the future. After harvesting your own stem cells by plucking 50 hairs from the back of the head, Acorn then cryopreserves (freezes) them to be later utilized in topical formulations to rejuvenate our bodies. Taylor, who has a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toronto, takes us on a deep dive into regenerative medicine and explains more about stem cells and how exosomes work “Think of them as a delivery system, as the Amazon Prime of the human body,” he says.What we're witnessing is a non-invasive solution to leverage our own stem cells for personalized regenerative medicine. Are you ready to harness your body's ability to rejuvenate your skin and hair?

Welcome to the Pod everyone!On Episode 66 I talk about being a good man and take a shot at defining a solid man.

On Episode 64 of The Art of Aging Mindfully, I share a valuable lesson I learned in my late 20's from the legendary acting teacher Thurman E. Scott. Thurman taught me that it was natural, when integrating new knowledge into our daily lives, to make two steps forward (progress, deeper awareness) but to be aware that one step backwards (regression) can be a normal part of the personal growth experience. In this light, progress is slow, steady, and incremental. We must embrace ourselves lovingly when we fall down, get back up, and get right back into the saddle.  This is the main reason master Patanjali, emphasizes the notion of continuous, uninterrupted practice.To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

On episode 62 of the podcast I share the mechanics of my seasonal mind-body cleanse, which I do four times per year, at the turn of each season. Feeling the Spring Vibes of March, (I wore a t-shirt yesterday while hiking in the forest), I decided to clean house . I rode the wave of the season turning and purged my body and mind with psychedelics and a three-day fastListeners can peer into my personal process and then decide to try their own unique structured experiments that can support their own personal development. Psychedelics and Fasting are not appropriate for everyone, and can lead to negative outcomes for some of us.  Thorough medical screening and clearance are suggested before engaging in both practices. One must also have a strong mindset, and a safe physical setting for engaging in these practices.

Welcome to the Podcast Everyone!On episode 59 I share one of my favorite verses from all of the ancient wisdom texts.The Tao Te Ching is loaded with great thoughts to ponder.  The ideas and concepts of the Tao Te Ching can easily be correlated back to the yogic tradition, and mirror key concepts like "non - attachment." It's always brilliant to look for universalities in spirituality, across different cultural traditions.This show is all about experiencing the wisdom of the first verse and first part out of 81, from The Tao Te Ching. I share my reverence for this brilliant work, and attempt to interpret the teachings of Lao Tzu, hoping to inspire an opening in your imagination, and perhaps further study on your part.

In episode 58 of "The Art of Aging Mindfully," we dive deep into the ancient wisdom of Yoga Sutra 1.12, exploring the dual means of attaining yoga through practice (abhyasa) and non-attachment (vairagya). This episode unpacks the essence of these powerful concepts and how they can illuminate the path toward a more centered and mindful aging process.Non-attachment, in particular, is a practice that challenges many of us deeply. It compels us to examine our relationships with the material world, our desires, and even our perceptions of identity and success. I share my personal journey of decoding non-attachment and how this confrontational practice has transformed my approach to life, aging, and spirituality. The insights gained from this exploration can offer profound shifts in how we navigate the inevitable changes that come with aging.Furthermore, we discuss practical ways to integrate the principles of abhyasa and vairagya into our daily lives, making the ancient teachings of Patanjali relevant and accessible for our modern journey toward mindful aging. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or new to the concept of mindful aging, this episode offers valuable perspectives on cultivating a life of balance, peace, and fulfillment at any age.Join us as we delve into these timeless teachings, offering reflections, anecdotes, and tips for embracing the art of aging with grace and intention. Episode 58 is not just about understanding the philosophy of yoga; it's about living it in the context of our daily lives and finding the beauty in letting go.Thank you for tuning in to "The Art of Aging Mindfully." Let's embark on this journey together, embracing the wisdom of yoga to age with mindfulness and joy.Click here to order:Dr. Edwin Bryant's Commentary on The Yoga SutrasSwami Satchidananda's Commentary on The Yoga SutrasTo support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

These quotes are meant to stimulate your thinking and open us up to a deeper psychology! 1.  "To know someone with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts unexpressed.. That can make this life a garden."  -Goethe2.  "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Goethe3.  "Discipline is Freedom, or “Only The Disciplined Ones Are Free.” Jocko,  Kipchoge4.  "Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." -  Mark TwainBhagavan Das Album, "The Howler at Dawn" on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/album/4w0KiQEhtODAYDXvEodaAq?si=IPRf3fKfTrq5zJw4ZFsOmgThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Welcome to the Pod Folks!This week I spoke with long time yoga teacher Michael Stein.It's a beautiful conversation between two yoga dudes that love and respect the practice of yoga. Michael shares his valuable experience with adapting the yoga and conditioning practices to fit life's second half.  At 55, Michael still maintains a rigorous and beautiful practice, while training differently than he did at age 25. Listeners will gain valuable insights on how to train and feel inspired to do their own "structured experiments," which help us to find our own unique path and way.I was delighted to find many parallels between our work, as Michael and I spoke. We both teach yoga, both lift, both enjoy cardio, are both massage therapists, both love the Upper West Side of Manhattan, both live in the Hudson Valley of New York,  and we focus on teaching older folks. Michael is on IG at yoga_flashcardsYou can reach out to him about his upcoming Senior Yoga Teacher Training Program (which can be done in person or digitally) scheduled for 2.24.24Thanks Michael for your generosity!!!To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Episode 55 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is all about moving beyond dogmatic approaches to health.On This show I share my personal evolution in my approach to yoga practice and nutrition. I was challenged and inspired by Master Iyengar who said “5 breaths is not enough for me to explore the asana and learn about it's full expression.” "Dogma" refers to a set of principles or beliefs that are accepted without question, often as part of a particular ideology, religion, or system of thought. In a broader sense, dogma represents a rigid and uncompromising adherence to established beliefs, even in the face of contradictory evidence or alternative viewpoints. It can limit critical thinking and stifle open-mindedness.Ways I have adjusted my yoga practice:I still train daily, 6/7 days are really structured, where one day is long, and the next is short. This alternates between “hard and soft days.”I have incorporated Iyengar Yoga Method, Strength Training and Running into my training, to complement Ashtanga Yoga Method. On my short vinyasa days, I use props and do some static stretching and postures outside of vinyasaI have added muscle to my body and am making tradeoffs with asanas I can afford to part with, in exchange for the extra size. I focus on yogic behavior code and ethics more than on the physical aspects of yoga. I I ask myself "Am I becoming a better person?"How I've become less dogmatic about eating:1. I Focus on Whole Foods and Nutrient Density 2. I Eat Moderate Portions 3. I Listen to my body: I Eat when I'm  hungry and stop when I'm satisfied. This intuitive approach to eating can help you build a healthier relationship with food.4. Evidence-Based Choices: Make dietary choices based on scientific evidence and individual needs. HIGH PROTEIN vs. LOW Protein debate. I follow the VIOME RECOMMENDATIONS. Enjoy and share this episode!To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Hello Everyone!Episode 54 is all about finding your mojo, if you've lost it in life's second half.I define mojo like this:"Mojo" is an informal term that refers to an individual's personal power, confidence, or charisma. It represents a person's unique ability to attract success, create positive energy, and confidently navigate life's challenges. Mojo is often associated with a sense of vitality, enthusiasm, and the ability to achieve one's goals with flair and style. It's that intangible quality that makes someone stand out, radiate confidence, and live life to the fullest. Finding or reconnecting with one's mojo typically involves a journey of self-discovery and self-confidence building.I offer five tips for reconnecting with your mojo, then expound upon each suggestion.The five suggestions are:Strengthen your anklesPerfect your gut healthJoin a community where folks know your name and wonder about how you're doingConnect with nature (earthing/grounding)Explore creative outlets (like writing, the arts, or music/singing.)Enjoy and share this episode! To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

On episode 47 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast,  I delve into the profound yogic principle of svadhyaya, which translates to self-study. Svadhyaya isn't merely a theoretical concept; for me, it's been a cornerstone emphasizing the deep significance of self-reflection, introspection, and personal study throughout my spiritual journey.I share six practices/techniques for self study, which can lead to profound insights.Vinyasa Yoga:My experience with vinyasa yoga has taught me that it's more than a series of postures. It's a poetic dance of breath, movement, and keen awareness that evokes introspection. As I transition from one asana to another, I consistently confront the intricate layers of my body and spirit. This isn't just a physical discipline for me; it's a transformative pathway into svadhyaya, where I've unearthed deep insights into my thought processes, emotions, and intrinsic nature.Meditation Practice:Through meditation, I've been able to dive deep into the tranquil depths of my mind. Whether I practice mindfulness or focus on specific thoughts, meditation has been a wellspring of clarity and emotional balance, shedding light on my ever-evolving patterns and feelings.Wearing a Biometric Device:In embracing modern technology, I've found that biometric devices serve as invaluable tools for self-study. These devices, like the Whoop Strap I wear, have given me a data-driven reflection of my physical well-being, daily rhythms, and emotional states.Journaling:In my youth journaling has been a canvas, capturing my thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Each entry acts as a portal, letting me revisit moments, understand recurring themes in my life, and process complex emotions.Psychotherapy/Counseling:Through my sessions in NLP counseling, I've been able to navigate deeper into my psyche. These professional engagements have helped me unpack past experiences, current behaviors, and future aspirations, offering nuanced perspectives on my motivations and fears.Asking for Feedback:I've always believed in the power of feedback. Listening to others' perceptions, compared against my self-view, has provided a holistic perspective on my journey.  When I started teaching yoga, I asked for valuable feedback on my teaching methods and style from advanced teachers.  Their insights were very helpful in my evolution. Join me in this episode as I share my personal voyage into svadhyaya, revealing the pathways I've taken to understand my strengths, weaknesses, patterns, and deep-rooted motivations. After all, the journey into oneself is perhaps the most enriching, shaping our well-being, personal growth, and the essence of mindful living.To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and

Autologous cell treatments are already making an impact in our lives today but the truth is we are only just scratching the surface of what might be possible. In our lifetime, aesthetic regenerative medicine will make a dramatic leap forward. The problem is that as our cells age they become less potent. That means many of us will never be able to experience the full impact of emerging regenerative innovation. On episode no. 85 of the Technology of Beauty we hear from the CEO of a startup that has not only set out to solve this problem, but already has a solution in the marketplace designed to prepare today's generation for the regenerative advances ahead. Meet Acorn Biolabs — The first non-invasive solution to preserve your younger follicle cells for use in regenerative medicine.From locking in cell age with cryogenic preservation to developing a process for autologous cell regeneration that could speculatively allow for 3D-printing a pancreas, Acorn CEO Drew Taylor describes it all so clearly that it feels less like science fiction, and more like inevitable future fact.But if it still seems too far off, or too good to be true, the first applications for these autologous cell-based therapies lie squarely in the realm of aesthetic medicine, where they are currently testing applications for their first cell-derived product composed of iPSCs — induced pluripotent stem cells.Find out what it all means and stick around for a demonstration of the harvesting procedure on Dr. Grant Stevens himself on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.» Apple Podcasts | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/technology-of-beauty/id1510898426» Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/0hEIiwccpZUUHuMhlyCOAm» Recent episodes | https://www.influxmarketing.com/technology-of-beauty/» Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thetechnologyofbeauty/» LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-technology-of-beauty/The Technology of Beauty is produced by Influx Marketing, The Digital Agency for Aesthetic Practices. https://www.influxmarketing.com/Want more aesthetic insights?

Welcome to Episode 44 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast  where I discuss "The Art of Ashtanga Yoga." In this episode, I take you along my personal journey with Ashtanga Yoga, a practice that's spanned over two decades and continues to teach me every day.We kick off with the fascinating history of Ashtanga Yoga, exploring the lineage from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois to T. Krishnamacharya, all the way back to Ramamohana Brahmachari. Their contributions have shaped Ashtanga into the transformative practice we know today.I then delve into the practice and technique of Ashtanga Yoga, painting a vivid picture of the tranquil Mysore sessions, the resonating sound of Ujjayi breath, and the methodical step-by-step learning process. We look at the powerful combination of breath, bandha, and drishti, and the dynamic transitions of jumping back and through. A path as demanding as Ashtanga Yoga is not without its obstacles. I share my struggles with late nights, battling old habits, and maintaining discipline.  But despite these obstacles, I discuss how the Ashtanga community remains interconnected on a global scale, citing examples from AYV, AYB, and AYNY.Next, I share my insights on what full devotion to a practice like Ashtanga feels like. From prioritizing practice first thing in the morning to observing the character-building effects of consistent practice, I delve into the profound impact of such commitment. I speak about the respect and admiration we can have for fellow practitioners, acknowledging their focus and consistency.Finally, I discuss my "Second Study" of Ashtanga Yoga that began on January 1st, 2023. This new chapter has taught me to listen to my body more intently and approach the practice with patience. I talk about the wisdom in accepting changes and adapting my practice as needed, guided by the universe's cues.My journey with Ashtanga Yoga has shown me the power of dedicating oneself completely to a practice you loveEnjoy and Share the episode! To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Welcome, mindful agers, to Episode 43 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast. Today, we're delving deep into yoga philosophy to uncover how understanding and practicing a key yogic concept can lead to meaningful behavior change.Start of The Vritti Samskara Chakra Presentation: 17:12Introduction to Vritti-Samskara-ChakraWe start off by laying some groundwork, explaining the  Sanskrit concepts of vritti, samskara, and chakra. Although they may initially seem esoteric, I assure you that they have practical, day-to-day implications for how we live and change our behaviors.Unpacking VrittiWe dive into the concept of vritti - the modifications or fluctuations of the mind. Understanding vrittis can give us deeper insight into how our thoughts, emotions, and perceptions shape our daily experiences.Understanding SamskaraFrom vrittis, we move onto the idea of samskara. These are latent imprints from past experiences that influence our behaviors, reactions, and habits. I share some personal examples to help illustrate this concept.Exploring the Meaning of ChakraEven though the chakra system doesn't feature prominently in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, it's a core aspect of certain yoga traditions. I provide a brief introduction to this energy system and discuss how it could be influenced by our vrittis and samskaras, to create a repeating mental pattern. Vritti-Samskara-Chakra and Behavior ChangeOnce we understand these concepts, we explore how they can inform behavior change. I talk about how samskaras can create recurring vrittis, leading to deeply ingrained patterns, and how understanding this process can help us break free from unhelpful cycles.Yoga Practices for Behavior ChangeIn the latter part of the episode, we turn to specific yoga practices that can help us lighten the load of our past, reducing the influence of our samskaras, and making space for healthier patterns. I discuss various techniques from asana practices to pranayama, from meditation and mindfulness to mantra chanting, and even the study of sacred texts.Closing ThoughtsWe wrap up with some final reflections on the transformative potential of these practices. Through understanding and working with our vrittis and samskaras, and harnessing the wisdom of yoga, we can replace outdated and unhealthy tendencies with more resourceful and healthier ways of being.Thank you for joining me for this enlightening episode. I always welcome your feedback and questions.

Welcome back, dear listeners, to episode 41 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast. I'm your host, Jai Sugrim, and today I want to delve into an important topic, one I've titled "The Question AI is Asking Us."In these transformative times, we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration of technological advancement, specifically in artificial intelligence (AI). As we move forward, I propose we use AI's computational power as a mirror, reflecting the most authentic versions of ourselves back to us. We can do this by analyzing our personal data in a health-oriented way.Our data, detached from emotions, stands unbiased and non-judgmental. It doesn't care about our feelings, it doesn't favor a narrative; it's just raw, objective information. By assessing this data, we can gain unique insights about our physical and mental health, allowing us to work on specific areas of improvement.With AI as our tool, we can continue to evolve and grow alongside it, utilizing its objectivity to answer the age-old question: "Who am I?" In reality, we are all beings of body, mind, and spirit, a unique fusion of the material and the ethereal.There's an enchanting possibility that consciousness isn't secondary to matter but is rather primary, and from it, matter arises. If so, then all of matter, including us and the AI we develop, might be imbued with consciousness. We are more connected to our world and to each other than we've ever realized.Let's embrace this journey of co-evolution with AI. Let's seize the opportunity to know ourselves deeper than ever before. Let's harness the computational power of AI to get healthier, clearer, and wiser. Stay tuned, and as always, keep aging mindfully.To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Hello everyone,In episode 40 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast, I had the honor of speaking with Dr. Momo Vuyisich, the co-founder and chief science officer of Viome, a company pioneering the field of health science and gut health.I was genuinely astounded to learn about the intricate, AI-driven process Viome uses to analyze biological samples – a process that involves absolutely no human intervention. This really drove home the fact that we are indeed living in an era where technology and health are rapidly converging, opening up brand new possibilities for our wellness.One of the standout moments of our conversation was when Dr. Vuyisich eloquently explained the gut-brain axis – a complex system that links our digestive tract and cognitive function. His insight deepened my understanding of how crucial gut health truly is, not only for our physical wellness, but also for our mental wellbeing.Throughout our enlightening and uplifting conversation, we touched on numerous topics that I believe will pique your interest and, hopefully, inspire you to consider your own health from a new perspective. It's a testament to the exciting times we're living in, where understanding our bodies and cultivating mindful aging is more achievable than ever.I invite you to tune in to this informative and engaging episode. I'm confident you'll walk away with valuable insights and, perhaps, a new perspective on the integral role that our gut plays in our overall health and longevity.Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!Jai Sugrim(Note: Always remember to consult with a healthcare professional before making changes to your diet or health routine based on what you hear on the podcast.)To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai, and learn about his yoga classes and massage therapy treatments:https://theartofagingmindfully.com/

Welcome to the podcast folks, I'm your host, Jai Sugrim, and I am incredibly excited to share with you Episode 37 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast. This episode offers an intimate glance into my private coaching calls and a deep-dive into a truly healing conversation with my client, Robert R. This exchange provides a precious opportunity for us to explore the intersection of spiritual matters and practical aspects of yoga in our daily lives.The conversation begins at: 26:11Robert, like many of us, is juggling a demanding full-time office job alongside an ambitious yoga asana training program. While enthusiasm for personal growth and development is commendable, it's important that we balance ambition with reality and ensure our practices are both nourishing and sustainable. As we traverse this journey together, Robert and I discover that sometimes, the greatest act of self-care can be to scale back and adjust our expectations, allowing for greater harmony in our lives.Throughout our conversation, we delve deep into yoga philosophy. We discuss how spiritual teachings can enlighten our understanding of personal boundaries and energy management. Yoga, in its holistic sense, is not just about the asanas; it is a way of life that guides us to live mindfully and with greater consciousness.In this episode, you'll witness firsthand the nuances of a coaching relationship. You'll experience the delicate balance between challenge and compassion, the dance between pushing for growth while still maintaining reverence for one's current state of being.In this real-time coaching call, you'll witness us reconfigure Robert's yoga asana training program, ensuring that it complements his lifestyle rather than competes with it. We spend a considerable amount of time dissecting what's not working, brainstorming solutions, and crafting a more sustainable, supportive, and achievable yoga routine for him.In addition to this practical advice, we discuss larger spiritual themes related to the practice of yoga and mindful aging. We contemplate how the yoga philosophy can inform our perspective on work-life balance and personal growth, ultimately guiding us towards a more serene and fulfilled existence.Remember, balance is the essence of a mindful life. As we age, it is important to honor our bodies, respect our boundaries, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and acceptance. Our journey on the mat is not just about achieving the next pose; it's about understanding our own bodies, minds, and spirits.Thank you for joining me for Episode 37 of The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast. I hope our healing conversation resonates with you and provides a roadmap for your own mindful aging journey.To support The Art of Aging Mindfully  Podcast go to patreon:The Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast PatreonThe Art of Aging Mindfully Podcast is sponsored by Viome, Acorn Biolabs and Whoop, your personal digital fitness tracker.To Harvest Your Own Stem Cells, for Future Use, with Acorn Biolabs:https://www.acorn.me/affiliate/the-art-of-aging-mindfullyTo test your full body and gut intelligence with Viome:http://viomehq.sjv.io/eKnAO1Use The $110 discount code: ARTOFAGINGOrder your whoop strap with Jai's Unique Link:https://join.whoop.com/376818To train with Jai,

As an entrepreneur and regenerative medicine pioneer, Drew Taylor is making breakthrough medicine accessible for everyday people. Drew's interest in regenerative medicine goes all the way back to seventh grade when he observed a total knee replacement. After the surgery, the doctor told him that, someday, people would use their own cells to heal their bodies. Ever since Drew's fascination with regenerative medicine has only grown. Drew is used to juggling a full life; while obtaining his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, Drew also competed as a pitcher in professional baseball. After a career-ending injury forced him to give up his sports career, Drew devoted himself fully to medicine, first working as part of Mount Sinai Hospital's BioEngineering of Skeletal Tissues Team, then as Chief Science Officer at Epic Capital Management. Drew wanted to help people find a way to use their own tissue to live not only longer but better. So in 2017, Drew co-founded Acorn Biolabs, a company dedicated to helping more people access the future of regenerative medicine by providing affordable, accessible, and non-invasive cell banking. Cryopreservation isn't just science fiction anymore; with Acorn, Drew helps people prepare to live longer, look better, and get ahead of aging so they are ready for the future of regenerative medicine.

Former Blue Jays baseball pitcher Drew Taylor founded Acorn Biolabs in 2017 as a way for people to cryopreserve their stem cells for future medical use. If you have any interest in learning about the science behind stem cells and future applications, this is the episode for you!

Sachin Patel and Dr. Drew Taylor discuss Drew's early foray into medicine when he shadowed an orthopedic surgeon doing total knee arthroplasty, Drew's interest in following his father into baseball and medicine, and how Drew earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. With that background, Drew started Acorn Biolabs, a laboratory that helps you cryogenically store young stem cells from your hair follicles against a future time when medical advances will allow you to use the stem cells to create new skin, tissues, and organs to prolong your life.   Key Takeaways: [1:03] Sachin welcomes listeners to today's episode! This is a special interview with Dr. Drew Taylor, a serial entrepreneur and professional athlete, who is helping extend people's life spans using hair! Dr. Taylor plucks hair and freezes it cryogenically in a Toronto lab to preserve stem cells for future needs.   [2:47] Dr. Taylor tells the story of his interest in biomedicine and longevity. He picked total-knee arthroplasty for his seventh-grade science fair project. He was permitted to scrub in and shadow a surgeon to observe a total knee replacement surgery. The next day, he accompanied the surgeon on rounds and watched the patient stand up out of bed and embrace the surgeon.   [4:54] Drew talked to the surgeon about witnessing this emotional experience for the patient. The surgeon told him that the metal and plastic parts will eventually wear down and the patient will be back for revision surgery. The surgeon predicted that in the future this operation will be done with the patient's cells to replace cartilage, bone, and tissues.   [6:23] Years later, Drew worked at the same hospital on a biomedical skeletal tissues engineering team with the Division of Orthopedics, trying to engineer joints for patients on demand. It was his science fair experience that led him there.   [8:42] Drew attended Baseball Spring Training after college but he was injured before the regular season, so he never played in the Major Leagues. He played for both the Blue Jays and the Phillies on their Minor League squads. Drew became a Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering at the University of Toronto while he played baseball.   [11:22] Drew explains stem cells. The embryonic stem cell can form any cell. They are pluripotent. Other stem cells have started to develop but can still become one of several cells. They are multipotent. Technology takes time to develop to a level to benefit people.   [16:36] Drew's company Acorn Biolabs focuses on giving clients access to their cells. Taking donor cells always carries a risk of rejection or tumors. The patients receiving their cells is always the best choice.   [18:19] Acorn Biolabs collects cells from clients while they are younger. Younger cells are better than older cells to leverage for the rest of your life. Sachin points out that nothing can fix your body better than it can fix itself.   [22:04] Drew addresses how and when it is best to harvest cells. Acorn harvests hair follicles, which have thousands of stem cells. The quality of the hair follicle begins to decline as early as in the twenties. About 50 hair follicles are plucked per client and placed in a solution.   [24:59] Drew explains the process for protecting the harvested cells for transport and freezing them to -190 degrees Celsius for when you need them in the future.   [27:50] Acorn Biolabs has some amazing methodologies they use to develop different cells you may need or the frozen cells can be sent to the laboratory of your choice. Drew lists some of the products the cells can produce.   [31:22] Drew shares an example of a use case in research and development: creating your pancreas islet beta cells to produce insulin for type 1 diabetics. This project will take years before human application. Other use cases are closer, such as producing collagen to deliver to the skin. Hair regrowth and wound closures are other potential use cases and sports injuries.   [34:05] Drew's brother is a type 1 diabetic. Drew made sure his follicles were banked as quickly as possible so he would have his youngest cells cryogenically preserved and available. Drew believes in his brother's lifetime we will see these things made possible.   [34:41] Drew addresses correcting problems with auto-immune diseases. Auto-immune problems are multi-layered and will take time to solve. Gene editing technologies like CRISPR can help eliminate some problems. Three-D printing of organs is on the horizon.   [37:13] The biggest ethical considerations have been mitigated. The new technologies do not use embryonic stem cells. We can reprogram your cells. The importance is in intercepting your cells at their best.   [39:11] It's difficult to predict for any individual at what age cells are not viable. Acorn Biolabs does not put a cut-off age for individuals to harvest their cells. The younger, the better.   [41:51] Drew says there's a law of diminishing returns in working to maximize your health through lifestyle changes before harvesting your follicles. We are always getting older. Don't wait too long. Sachin's lifestyle health programs last 10 to 12 weeks, so you can do both.   [44:46] Drew shares how people can get in touch with Acorn Biolabs for more information.   [45:39] Sachin thanks Drew Taylor for this dialog, invites patients and practitioners to consider this process for themselves, and signs off until the next episode.   Mentioned in this episode Perfect Practice Live University of Toronto Toronto Blue Jays Philadelphia Phillies Stem Cells CRISPR Tissue Engineering Technologies   More about today's guest Dr. Drew Taylor Acorn Biolabs: Acorn Biolabs Dr. Drew Taylor on LinkedIn: Drew Taylor Dr. Drew Taylor on Twitter: Drew Taylor   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community and Get Paid What You're Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done

Do you remember the cartoon the Jetsons? How everything seemed so futuristic? And while we're still aways from flying cars and having Rosie the robot clean our houses and wait on our beckon call, the future is here and it's incredible. The Jetsons released their first episode 60 years ago back in 1962. Back before the internet. Before cell phones. Before 8 tracks, CDs, VHS tapes or DVDs. Before fax machines. And way before we had the ability to bank your stem cells and cryogenically freeze them for future use.My guest today is Dr. Drew Taylor. Drew is the co-founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, which is a company specializing in helping people preserve their own cells for help them prepare for future needs. Drew was a standout colligate athlete and professional baseball player, but ultimately got his PhD in biomedical engineering and now leads the charge to bringing accessible, non-invasive and affordable live cell collection and preservation to everyone.Join us this week as Drew shares how he went from a baseball player to CEO of a biomedical startup, and why people like you and me (and our children and grandchildren) should consider banking our cells today for a healthier tomorrow.

Regenerative cell therapy may one day help us all grow our own replacement parts. People with heart failure could get a transplant for an entirely new heart, made out of their own cells. Burn victims, or people who just want wrinkle-free skin, could grow new sheets of the stuff — from their own tissues. Younger cells may provide better raw material for these therapies than older versions, and so a commercial cell banking industry has sprung up to provide the required cryogenic storage for about the price of a Netflix subscription. But is it worth it? To help listeners decide, Medcan Director of Genetics Allison Hazell interviews Drew Taylor of Acorn Biolabs, a Toronto commercial cell banking start-up, with a dissenting opinion from Aaron Levine of the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy.  https://www.eatmovethinkpodcast.com/podcast/ep-67-cell-banking   Links Visit the Acorn Biolabs website to learn more about regenerative cell therapies and commercial cell banking.   Hazell and Taylor discussed platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and other regenerative therapies for sports injury.

So why now? According to Taylor, more than 1,000 clinical trials are happening in the field of cell and gene-based therapies. The Acorn Biolabs founder likes to compare it to the Wright brothers. They successfully flew the first powered aircraft in 1903. An aeronautics industry and commercial flight took decades longer to develop. Stem cell science is undergoing a similar curve. [Time code: 7:10]    PRP and 3D printing of human replacement parts Currently, a goal of regenerative cell technology is to concentrate the growth factors and nutrients in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and put it at the site of an injury. The idea is that this will enhance the inflammatory response in the surrounding cells and encourage healing. It’s used in soft-tissue sports injuries as well as skin-rejuvenation in dermatology. Another potential use for commercial cell banking is the 3D printing of replacement parts for the human body. For example, at Tel Aviv University, they took a biopsy of skin cells, multiplied them and were able to 3D-print a miniature human heart. “It was a major milestone,” Taylor says. [Time code: 9:30]   Taylor’s argument that young cells are better for cell therapies “We need to be thinking about strategies that we could deploy to allow people to actually secure a better cell population to use as a starting material,” Taylor says of his work at Acorn Biolabs. In the past, what he’s found is that adults who are in pain will start looking at regenerative cell therapy. The problem? At that point, the cells and tissues in that area already are in a diseased state. What Taylor wants to help people do is get ahead of these problems by collecting younger, healthy cell samples and storing them for potential further use. “We really need to be thinking about this in advance,” Taylor says. “To be thinking about strategies we [can] do to allow people to secure a better cell population to use as a starting material.” [Time code: 13:55]   Counterpoint Aaron Levine is an associate professor at Georgia Tech and a member of the International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy, where he was a Vice Chair on the Presidential Task Force on the Use of Unproven and/or Unethical Cell and Gene Therapies. The taskforce concluded that “these companies — that will take your cells and freeze them today for potential use sometime in the future — are too far ahead of the science.” Basically, in Levine’s view, the science is not yet there to justify cell storage. “These companies may be over promising to their customers,” Levine says. “The reality is that the vast majority of these cells will remain frozen indefinitely and never used clinically.” [Time code: 23:15]   Critical thinking Taylor disagrees with Levine's point that cell banking is speculative — he argues that the science is there and will continue to advance. Not all cell-banking services are created equal, Taylor says. Levine’s investigation also was completed before Acorn Biolabs was founded. “There is a massive difference between companies that offer cell-banking services,” Taylor says, adding that it’s likely that certain organizations probably are over-promising. “Personally, I would be mortified to be grouped in with some of them.” [Time code: 26:47] Practical applications Although you can never make guarantees in science, regenerative cell therapy is already showing real-world results, Taylor says. This type of therapy could help heal athletic injuries, or be used as an aesthetic skincare treatment. But there are bigger potential uses, too. For example, he says, in Canada 24 patients have had keratinocyte and fibroblast cells harvested and leveraged to create sheets of skin, which were then used to treat severe burns. There are also about a dozen people in North Carolina who have had 3D bladders created using their own cells and implanted in their bodies. “We’re already seeing cells being leveraged in some of these therapeutics,” Taylor says. “So I’d push back a little bit” on Levine’s points.
