En battant successivement Chambly et Fos-sur-Mer lors des playoffs de Top 12, le Red Star Mulhouse s'est offert un premier titre de champion de France. Une belle porte de sortie pour Thom Gicquel, qui avait annoncé son départ du club alsacien. A l'image de la saison, ces playoffs ont été marqués par l'absence de joueurs majeurs dans certaines équipes. Dans le même temps, Kenlavut Vitidsarn s'est offert le titre à domicile au Thailand Open, après une finale maitrisée face à Anders Antonsen. Chen Yufei a confirmé qu'elle était de retour en force, tandis que les danois Kjaer/Boe auront animé la semaine de double hommes avant de craquer en finale.

Today, it is my pleasure to speak with Drew McMorrow, President & CEO of Ballentine Partners, an independent wealth management firm providing comprehensive investment and family office services to wealthy families and entrepreneurs. In addition to being responsible for the day-to-day management of the company, Drew also continues to consult with families on all aspects of their financial lives. Prior to joining the firm in 2002, Drew worked at Mercer Management Consulting, where he advised technology companies on their strategic plans, and before that, he was the Director of Business Operations at Oracle Corporation, where he directed financial and business analysis for procurement and distribution operations. Drew, and his firm Ballentine Partners, are valued members of the FOX MFO Council and we are very proud to have their expertise as part of the FOX membership community. As family offices become increasingly popular and as families look to them for an ever-broader range of services and expertise, many families are weighing the pros and cons of in-housing vs. outsourcing vs. partnering as they try to decide on the optimal operating model for their family office. Drew shares his perspectives on the tradeoffs between in-house and partnered design options for SFOs and explains when and what should families consider outsourcing when building our their SFO, highlighting the functions or situations that lend themselves better to one model vs. another. Drew and his firm Ballentine Partners have built the Center for Family Wellbeing as a practical resource to help families make the best resourcing choices for their FOs. He tells our audience about the Center, its mission, and how it serves multigenerational families of wealth. Another practical insight Drew offers is regarding the often-neglected qualitative disciplines in support of the family's long-term success – functions such as family communications, education and learning, and next-gen engagement and preparation. He provides his practical recommendations on how families can utilize internal resources and external partners to develop and deliver these mission-critical services to the family. Do not miss this engaging conversation with one of the most prominent thinkers and leaders in the UHNW family wealth management space.

Trong cuộc đọ sức Mỹ -Trung ở Kênh đào Panama, bàn thắng tạm thời nghiêng về Washington : tập đoàn Hồng Kông CK Hutchison chuyển nhượng lại cho một quỹ đầu tư của Mỹ hai cảng ở hai đầu con kênh mà chính quyền Trump đòi « thâu tóm trở lại ». Bắc Kinh trong thế lưỡng nan : Chận thương vụ giữa một công ty tư nhân của Hồng Kông với một đối tác quốc tế là một nước cờ mạo hiểm. Hôm 04/03/2025, vài giờ trước khi tổng thống Hoa Kỳ Donald Trump đọc diễn văn trước Quốc Hội lưỡng viện, quỹ đầu tư BlackRock thông báo đạt thỏa thuận với tập đoàn đa quốc gia của Hồng Kông, CK Hutchison, « mua lại quyền khai thác »  2 trong số 5 cảng dọc Kênh đào Panama : Balboa và Cristobal. Đây chỉ là 2 trong số hơn 40 hải cảng CK Hutchison đang khai thác tại 23 quốc gia trên thế giới. Trị giá hợp đồng 23 tỷ đô la.Trump đẩy Trung Quốc ra khỏi Panama Trên mạng xã hội Ủy Ban đối Ngoại Hạ Viện Hoa Kỳ phấn khởi khẳng định là « Trung Quốc bị đẩy ra khỏi Panama. Mỹ đang trên đà chiến thắng ». Dân biểu bang Florida, chủ tịch ủy ban này ông Brian Mast không bỏ lỡ cơ hội ca ngợi « công lao » và sự « sáng suốt » của tổng thống Donald Trump khi biết rằng, chủ nhân Nhà Trắng luôn khẳng định Kênh đào Panama « thuộc về nước Mỹ » và đã từng yêu cầu bộ Quốc Phòng xem xét các khả năng quân sự để bảo đảm quyền của Hoa Kỳ được sử dụng con kênh này vào lúc mà Trung Quốc « kiểm soát » 5 cảng dọc theo con kênh.Thắng lợi của Washington còn lớn hơn nữa do hai cảng Balboa và Cristobal ở hai đầu con kênh, mở Thái Bình Dương và Đại Tây Dương.Trả lời đài RFI Pháp ngữ giáo sư đại học giảng dậy môn Khoa Học Chính Trị, Kevin Parthenay trước hết giải thích vì sao việc một quỹ đầu tư của Hoa Kỳ giành lại quyền khai thác một số cơ sở ở Panama từ tay một tập đoàn Hồng Kông được coi là thắng lợi lớn của Mỹ :« Kênh đào Panama đã từng và sẽ luôn là một điểm chiến lược đối với quyền lợi của Mỹ và cũng như là đối với phía Trung Quốc nhất là khi hai siêu cường trên thế giới này bắt đầu lao vào một cuộc đối đầu. Qua hai quyết định gần đây chúng ta thấy Panama đã loan báo không tiếp tục tham gia dự án Con Đường Tơ Lụa với Trung Quốc, mà sự hợp tác này đã chính thức được khởi động từ 2017. Bên cạnh đó, tư pháp Panama đòi xem xét lại các điều khoản đã nhượng quyền khai thác hai cảng Balboa và Cristobal ở hai cửa ra vào con kênh cho tập đoàn Hồng Kông CK Hutchison. Đó là những tín hiệu mạnh để xác định vai trò trung tâm và ảnh hưởng của Mỹ đối với Panama » Dựa trên cơ sở nào Mỹ đòi « chiếm lại » kênh đào Panama ? Giáo sư Frédéric Lasserre Đại học Laval, Québec, Canada, chuyên nghiên cứu về khu vực Ấn Độ -Thái Bình Dương nhắc lại lập trường của tổng thống Trump đòi « lấy lại » con kênh mà Hoa Kỳ đã xây dựng cho Panama : « Donald Trump tố cáo các giới chức Panama bắt chẹt tàu thuyền của Mỹ, bắt họ trả phí đắt hơn so với tàu chở hàng của những quốc gia khác khi đi qua kênh đào Panama. Không một dữ liệu nào minh chứng cho điều đó và nếu quả thực tàu thuyền của Mỹ bị đối xử bất công, chắc chắn là các tập đoàn vận tải đường biển của Mỹ đã không để yên. Ngoài ra, cần chú ý là tập đoàn Hồng Kông, CK Hutchison khai thác : khai thác chứ không sở hữu, hai trong số năm cảng dọc theo con kênh Panama. Không có bất kỳ lý do nào để Hutchison phân biệt đối xử với tàu thuyền của Mỹ và nếu có đi chăng nữa thì liệu rằng tập đoàn này có được chỉ thị từ Bắc Kinh hay không ? Hiện không có bằng chứng nào cho phép xác định tàu bè của những quốc gia khác ngoài Trung Quốc bị  đối xử tệ. Và tôi muốn nhấn mạnh rằng tập đoàn của Hồng Kông, CK Hutchison chỉ khai thác có 2 trong số 5 cảng trên con Kênh đào Panama ».Tập đoàn Hồng Kông ngừng khai thác các hải cảng ?  Trên thực tế thỏa thuận giữa tập đoàn khai thác hải cảng và bảo đảm các dịch vụ của Hồng Kông với một « tổ hợp đầu tư do quỹ BlackRock đứng đầu » không chỉ thu hẹp ở phạm vi Panama. Theo các báo tài chính của Mỹ và Á châu, tập đoàn trong tay nhà tỷ phú Hồng Kông Lý Gia Thành chuyển nhượng tổng cộng 43 trong số hơn 50 hải cảng đang quản lý trên toàn thế giới. Trong số này có 10 hải cảng thuộc về Hồng Kông và Hoa Lục. Cristobal và Balboa chỉ là hai trong số 43 địa điểm liên quan. Nhưng con kênh này đang trở thành một tâm điểm trong cuộc đối đầu giữa Hoa Kỳ và Trung Quốc, hai siêu cường trên thế giới, chuyên gia Virginie Saliou Học Viện Quân Sự Pháp IRSEM giải thích về tầm cỡ chiến lược của công trình :« Mỹ là quốc gia sử dụng nhiều nhất Kênh đào Panama để vận chuyển hàng từ bờ đông sang châu Á, để đưa hàng từ bờ tây của nước Mỹ sang châu Âu, để bảo đảm các luồng cung ứng giữa hai bờ đông và tây của bản thân nước Mỹ. Cứ trên 100 chuyến tàu chở hàng của Mỹ thì có 40 chiếc phải đi qua Kênh Panama và trung bình có từ 60 đến 70 % giao thương hàng hải sử dụng con kênh này là những chuyến tàu khởi hành hoặc cập bến các hải cảng của Hoa Kỳ. Chỉ có 13 % tàu thuyền đi qua đây liên quan đến các hoạt động của Trung Quốc. Không chỉ có các tàu chở hàng của Mỹ sử dụng kênh Panama. Con kênh này còn là nơi mà tàu chiến của Hoa Kỳ cũng phải đi qua. Theo các số liệu gần đây trung bình hàng năm 40 trong số 291 tàu quân sự của Mỹ  phải đi qua ngả này ». Con Đường Tơ Lụa, cái gai giữa Panama và MỹCũng bà Saliou nhấn mậnh Kênh đào Panama thuộc quyền sở hữu của Panama, một quốc gia ở Trung Mỹ chưa đầy 5 triệu dân, không có quân đội và sử dụng đồng đô la Mỹ. Công trình này do cơ quan ACP gồm 13 thành viên quản lý và Hiến Pháp Panama ghi rõ con kênh này « thuộc quyền sở hữu không thể tách rời » của Panama. Năm 1997 vào tập đoàn Hồng Kông CK Hutchison ký hợp đồng với cơ quan ACP của Panama để được quyền « khai thác », đầu tư và bảo đảm các dịch vụ tại 5 cảng dọc theo con kênh. Đúng 20 năm sau, Panama chính thức tham gia dự án Con Đường Tơ Lụa với Trung Quốc từ đó căng thẳnh giữa Hoa Kỳ và Panama gia tăng. Virginie Saliou :« Từ khi Panama tham gia dự án Con Đường Tơ Lụa với Trung Quốc, đã có khoảng 30 dự án hợp tác và đầu tư ra đời nhưng chỉ một số ít được thực hiện đến nơi đến chốn, và kết quả không nhiều. Do vậy việc chính quyền Panama rầm rộ loan báo chia tay với dự án của Bắc Kinh trước hết là một tín hiệu nhắm gửi đến Nhà Trắng để làm vừa lòng tổng thống Trump. Một điểm đáng chú ý khác là năm 2001 tức là chỉ ít ít lâu sau khi tập tập đoàn của Hồng Kông được quyền khai thác Balboa và Cristobal thì chính phủ Mỹ đã ra một thông cáo xác nhận rằng sự hiện diện của Hutchison không là một mối đe dọa. 25 năm sau, tình hình đã có nhiều thay đổi vào lúc mà Washington và Bắc Kinh lao vào một cuộc đối đầu. Mỹ lo ngại Trung Quốc lợi dụng vị trí này để dọ thám Mỹ về mặt kinh tế và quân sự. Kênh đào Panama có thể là một địa điểm để quan sát các hoạt động của đối phương rất lợi hại ».      Sự im lặng đáng ngờ của Bắc Kinh Nhìn đến phản ứng của Trung Quốc, giới quan sát hơi ngạc nhiên trước sự im lặng của chính quyền trung ương. Kênh đào Panama là nơi mà 21 % các tàu bè qua lại là tàu chở hàng của Trung Quốc, là cửa ngõ của ngành xuất nhập khẩu nước này sang châu Mỹ. Kiểm soát « hai đầu con kênh » này mang tính chiến lược.  Vậy thì tại sao tập đoàn hàng hải Hồng Kông đã chuyển nhượng quyền khai thác lại cho một « tổ hợp đầu tư của Mỹ » mà không bị Bắc Kinh chống đối ?Tuần báo The Economist của Anh (20/03/2025) giải thích : trước hết về mặt chính thức Bắc Kinh không có cơ sở pháp lý để can thiệp hay ngăn chận CK Hutchison « bán lại » quyền khai thác hai cảng Balboa và Cristobal cho bất kỳ một tập đoàn nào khác.Nhưng một cách không chính thức, chính quyền Bắc Kinh hoàn toàn có thể « can thiệp » dưới nhiều hình thức : hoặc là gây sức ép trực tiếp với gia đình của nhà tỷ phú Hồng Kông Lý Gia Thành, vì CK Hutchison có nhiều cơ sở tại Hoa Lục. Chính quyền Trung Ương cũng hoàn toàn có thể sử dụng « luật an ninh quốc gia » để « chận » hoặc « hủy » thương vụ giữa tập đoàn Hồng Kông và quỹ đầu tư của Mỹ BlackRock. Một giải pháp khác, là trong giao kèo giữa CK Hutchison và BlackRock bao gồm nhiều hải cảng mà họ Lý đang kiểm soát từ ở Hồng Kông đến Pakistan, Sri Lanka … do vậy, Bắc Kinh có thể trực tiếp gây áp lực với các chính quyền liên quan.Trung Quốc tránh một nước cờ mạo hiểmNhưng theo các chuyên gia tuần báo Anh trích dẫn, can thiệp lộ liễu như vậy là thất sách, bởi thứ nhất đây không là thời điểm thích hợp để Trung Quốc can thiệp trực tiếp vào hồ sơ Kênh đào Panama vào lúc Bắc Kinh và Washington đang thu xếp để lãnh đạo Trung Quốc và Hoa Kỳ gặp nhau trong một tương lai không xa. Bắc Kinh cũng muốn tránh để các giới chức Mỹ « nhòm ngó » kỹ hơn đến các tập đoàn và doanh nghiệp Trung Quốc vào lúc mà hai trong số này là Hoa Vi và ByteDance đã trong tầm ngắm của các chính quyền liên tiếp ở Washington.Vì quyền lợi của Trung Quốc ở các bến cảng Úc và châu ÂuLý do thứ hai là chận một thương vụ giữa một « tập đoàn tư nhân » với một đối tác quốc tế cũng sẽ làm xấu đi hình ảnh và uy tín của các tập đoàn Trung Quốc đang vươn ra nước ngoài, từ ở Úc đến châu Âu. Tại châu Âu Trung Quốc đang đầu tư và quản lý 14 hải cảng lớn như như Hamburg (Đức) Fos và Le Havre (Pháp) Anvers (Bỉ) Pirée (Hy Lạp) hay Rotterdam (Hà Lan)…Lý do thứ ba là xét cho cùng, hợp đồng chuyển nhượng lại quyền khai thác 2 bến cảng ở hai đầu con kênh Panama cho một « tổ hợp đầu tư » của Mỹ không đe dọa đến « quyền lợi cốt lõi về an ninh của Trung Quốc ». Theo thẩm định của chuyên gia Isaac Kardon, thuộc quỹ nghiên cứu Cargegie Endowment for International Peace, trụ sở tại Washington, hiện tại các tập đoàn Trung Quốc quản lý hơn 90 hải cảng ở khắp nơi trên thế giới. Năm 2023, các tàu của Hải Quân Trung Quốc đã dừng lại tại 27 trong số những hải cảng do các tập đoàn của Trung Quốc quản lý. Nhưng Hải Quân Trung Quốc không dại để lai vãng ở các khu vực như gần Panama nơi vốn được coi là sân sau của Hoa Kỳ.Tổn thất về thương mại và hình ảnh chính trị của ông Tập ?Dù vậy việc nhường lại một phần sân chơi cho tổ hợp đầu tư của Mỹ do BlackRock dẫn đầu bất lợi cho ngành xuất nhập khẩu của Trung Quốc. Vẫn theo Isaac Kardon phía Hoa Kỳ nhân đà này sẽ áp đặt mạnh hơn luật chơi với các đối tác -nhất là trong bối cảnh mà chính quyền Trump đang dùng lá bài « thuế hải quan » để tạo dựng một trật tự quốc tế mới về mậu dịch, về giao thương hàng hải…Nếu như hợp đồng giữa tập đoàn của Hồng Kông và Mỹ này được thực hiện, thì dù muốn hay không « cổng đưa hàng Trung Quốc và châu Mỹ cũng bị khép chặt lại hơn một chút ».Cuối cùng về phương diện chính trị, rõ ràng là Hoa Kỳ ghi được một bàn thắng trước đối thủ Trung Quốc và làm « sứt mẻ hình ảnh của một ông Tập Cận Bình đang muốn phô trương thanh thế của một nhà lãnh đạo đủ sức bảo vệ quyền lợi quốc gia trên trường quốc tế ».

This systematic review, published in Nutrients in 2025, examined the multifaceted health impacts of Yacon syrup, focusing on its role as a natural sweetener and its potential benefits for weight management and overall well-being. Yacon syrup, derived from the Yacon plant, is valued for its sweet taste and high content of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which function as prebiotics. This review highlights several potential benefits: Yacon syrup can serve as a lower-calorie alternative to refined sugars, potentially aiding in weight management. Its FOS content promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, contributing to a healthy gut microbiome. Additionally, some studies suggest potential positive impacts on glucose metabolism and lipid profiles, potentially benefiting individuals with metabolic concerns. The prebiotic effects may also contribute to improved satiety, assisting in calorie control. While these findings are promising, it's important to remember that more robust clinical trials are needed to solidify these results and understand the long-term effects of Yacon syrup. It should be used in moderation as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.Disclaimers:"This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice.""While Yacon syrup is a natural sweetener, it should still be consumed in moderation.""The weight loss effects of Yacon syrup are still under investigation, and results may vary.""Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet or supplement regimen, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications."

Send us a textHoly smokes you guys. This show is the epitome of Mardi Gras! Super Artist, Becky Fos' canvases depict radiant, deep-hued oysters in a rainbow of colors too beautiful to eat, and her pelicans and alligators are adorned with crowns, celebrating their iconic status. These hallmarks capture the imaginations of collectors around the world.Fos herself embodies—and her artwork mirrors— the profound joie de vivre that defines New Orleans. “When people see my art I hope that they experience joy and escape the reality of what they are going through and enter a technicolor world filled with all things happy,” she explains. “Sort of like in the Wizard of Oz, when Dorothy clicks her heels and she is transported into the land of Oz. There is so much sadness and hatred in the world, so I would love to be an ambassador of color for humanity to make the world a brighter, happier place.” Listening to Becky as she so passionately opened up to me really touched my heart. In a world of darks and grays- be neon. I HIGHLY recommend checking out Becky Fos' gallery at 2138 Magazine Street in New Orleans!Yall listen to this! Inspiration can be found anywhere.

Fierce, funny, and fabulous, she has cemented her place in the pop culture Hall of Fame since appearing on the Emmy-Award-winning RuPaul's Drag Race. Thanks to her snarky frankness, impeccable timing, and politically incorrect humor Bianca won the show's sixth season as a fan favorite. She has since been named one of New York Magazine's “Most Powerful Drag Queens,” where they described her as “the queen of all Drag Race queens” due to her dynamic career of comedy, hosting, and successful global tours. -Courtesy of www.thebiancadelrio.com This year Bianca will be the Celebrity Monarch for the Krewe of Orpheus! In 2025, Krewe of Orpheus will celebrate their 32nd anniversary withBrothers Osbourne & Bianca Del Rio along with many of their usual guestsand some new friends.  Get your tickets now by clicking below.https://www.kreweoforpheus.com/orpheuscapadeThank you to our family of amazing sponsors!

   Dr. Leila Dehghan is a doctor-turned-nutritionist, activist, and educator. Her journey to veganism began as an animal rescuer, but she later discovered the healing power of a whole food, plant-based diet, which helped her overcome debilitating migraines. This experience shifted her career focus, leading her to earn a Master's in Clinical and Public Health Nutrition from University College London.   Leila is the founder of Plant-based Health Justice, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness about the interconnectedness of oppression and advocating for a healthier, sustainable world by fostering justice, equity, and compassion for all.   Her passion for education also led her to create PlantEd Academy, where she develops courses, workshops, and resources that promote the benefits of plant-based diets in a culturally sensitive and inclusive way. Through her work, she challenges Eurocentric dietary norms and empowers individuals and communities to decolonize nutrition and reclaim their health.   Links:  Leila's free nutrition course https://plantedacademy.  com/planted-guide-to-plant-based-eating/  Dr Leila on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/drleilad/  Leila's previous interview on FoS https://www.3cr.org.au/freedomofspecies/episode/dr-leila-dehghan-plant-based-health-justice  We mentioned our friend Anas Araft, co-founder of Plant the Land Team Gaza who coordinates mutual aid initiatives to provide clean water, food, blankets, and warm clothes to people in need in Gaza. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100008448283358 The Ramadan fundraiser to help Anas's mutual aid efforts to supply food packages to families in Gaza.

Úgy érezzük, 2024 két hónap alatt telt el, és bár most azt terveztük, hogy a tavalyi év elemezgetése helyett kicsit optimistán, kicsit szkeptikusan, kicsit cinikusan és kicsit pesszimistán a jövőbe tekintünk, egy picit mégis elvesztünk abban, ami 2024-ben történt… Mert bőven volt miről beszélni 2024-ben, annak ellenére, hogy hihetetlenül gyorsan lepergett. Akár bontottál pezsgőt szilveszterkor, akár nem, könnyen lehet olyan érzésed, mint nekünk, hogy 2025 csak a folytatás, és valójában semmi nem történt december 31-én éjfélkor. Közben viszont nehéz bármi biztatót mondani azok után, hogy tavaly elinflálódott a közbeszédben a bántalmazás, a gyerekvédelem, és gyakorlatilag leépítették az összes, a magyar közéletben ismertnek számító női politikust. A politika régen volt ilyen mozgalmas, de a társadalmi önszerveződés megfagyott, ami újságíróként is fájdalmas tapasztalás, hát még az aktivista múlttal. A 33. Tyúkól ezért hiába szeretett volna, nem lett vidám, de azért nem is lett nehéz. Vendégünk Oláh Kata, a 444 lapmenedzsere. Bővebben: 00:00:15 - Mindenki hallatszik, kezdhetjük, BUÉK! 00:00:49 - Nem a múlton akarunk merengeni (spoiler: fogunk), nézzük, milyen lesz 2025! 00:02:15 - Fos. 00:04:49 - Régebben volt mit várni, most csak a nihilizmus maradt… 00:07:12 - Nem telt el túl gyorsan 2024? 00:08:08 - Vidám adásnak nézünk elébe

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I speak to longevity expert Leslie Kenny. @lesliesnewprime   Leslie shares her personal journey of overcoming autoimmune diseases and infertility through patient empowerment and alternative therapies. She emphasizes the importance of partnering with doctors and exploring alternative treatments that resonate with individuals. Leslie's story highlights the power of lifestyle changes, such as an anti-inflammatory diet and the use of anti-aging molecules like spermidine in improving health and reversing the aging process.    Our conversation covers the topic of spermidine and its role in healthy aging. Spermidine is a compound found in our diet and produced by our gut biome. It is correlated with healthy lifespan and can be obtained from plants and fermented foods. Our conversation also touches on gluten-free options for spermidine, the importance of fiber in the diet, and the potential benefits of systemic enzymes.    Leslie also shared her personal experience with hypothyroidism and the importance of finding a doctor who will help you uncover solutions for your reproductive health.    Podcast Takeaways: Partnering with doctors and exploring alternative treatments can empower patients to take control of their health. Lifestyle changes, such as an anti-inflammatory diet, can have a significant impact on autoimmune diseases and overall health. Anti-aging molecules like spermidine and rapamycin have the potential to slow down the aging process and improve fertility. Maintaining a balanced hormonal system is crucial for reproductive health and overall well-being. Spermidine can promote cell renewal and recycling. Spermidine is correlated with healthy lifespan and can be obtained from plants and fermented foods. Fiber is important for the gut biome to produce spermidine. Finding a doctor who believes in you and is willing to explore your symptoms is crucial.   Guest Bio:   Leslie is a longevity expert, and co-founder of the prestigious Oxford Longevity Project, a non-profit that brings scientists together to discuss breakthroughs around the science of ageing and autophagy, which is our body's natural cell recycling system.   www.oxfordhealthspan.com - Use coupon code WHOLESOMELOTUS for 15% off all items!   https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://oxfordlongevityproject.org       Learn more about my new book “The Way of Fertility” here: https://www.michelleoravitz.com/thewayoffertility   For more information about Michelle, visit: www.michelleoravitz.com   The Wholesome FertilityFacebook group is where you can find free resources and support:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/2149554308396504/   Instagram: @thewholesomelotusfertility   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thewholesomelotus/     Transcript:   Michelle (00:00) Welcome to the podcast Leslie.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (00:02) Thanks so much for having me, Michelle. It's a pleasure.   Michelle (00:05) So I would love for you to share your story of how you got into the work that you do today. And I know that you're very passionate. We just had a little pre -talk and I'm very excited to get started.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (00:14) You   Well, my story is one of patient empowerment, just like you. And it started, as it can with many women, with a fertility quest. So in my mid to late 30s, I really wanted to have a baby and found that I was having problems. So started with IUI, did three of those, didn't work, and then moved on to IVF.   And it was as I was doing my fifth IVF round with donor eggs, I might add, and being mixed race, I'll tell you, it's not easy to find a donor, you know? And it was a high stakes game, as it were. And right before embryo transfer, I began to notice pain in my hands. I was having trouble.   Michelle (00:54) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (01:08) using scissors, turning doorknobs, turning faucets. And I just thought, strange, I think this is probably what arthritis feels like. I better just have it checked out since obviously I want this IVF with donor eggs to go perfectly. And I went to the doctor, she ran some tests. I thought, you know, they'd say, you know, it's something, have steroids do something that I'd heard of before. And instead she called me and asked me to have a meeting with her in her office.   Michelle (01:17) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (01:38) and always a bad sign, right? If they can't explain it to you over the phone, and if it's not the nurse telling you, there's nothing to worry about. So I went and talked to her and she said, you do have arthritis, it's rheumatoid arthritis. This is where your body is attacking your joints. And here are some pre -filled syringes that you can inject into your belly, they're immune suppressants to basically   Michelle (01:40) Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (02:08) halt your immune system from attacking your body. And, and I immediately said, Hmm, don't I want my immune system to be strong? Like, don't I need that? And she said, well, normally you would, but in this case, it looks like your body is fighting cancer, except you're trying to destroy your own tissues. So I thought, okay, well, fine. Got the drugs. these are tiny diabetic needles. It'll be okay.   And then she said, but you also have something else. You have lupus. And that I'd never heard of. It was almost as if she'd said, you you have funny tree disease or something. It just made no sense to me. I didn't know what it was, had never heard of it. And I said, what's that? And she said, another autoimmune disease. And I said, okay, so what's the prescription for that?   And she said, unfortunately, there isn't a prescription for that. There's really nothing that we have right now to treat it. And you will slowly and progressively get worse. And I said, this is really not a good time for me to have this happen because I'm doing my fifth IVF with donor eggs. I'm waiting for embryo transfer. This is a terrible time. Can't we do something?   something else, anything else? Is there anything I can do? No, there's nothing you can do. Like, could I do my diet, my sleep? No, there's nothing you can do. Well, but what about this round? You know, I've done a lot to tee this up and a lot of money has gone into this. As you probably know, I've put in over a hundred thousand US dollars at this point in time into all of these treatments. And she said, I wouldn't do it. Don't do it.   you have a good five years left. And I thought, okay, well, that's a big statement to make. And I was so gobsmacked by it.   Michelle (04:08) That's crazy.   Wait, wait, She was saying you have five years left to live? Is that what she was saying?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (04:16) That's how I interpreted it. That's how I interpreted that if I, if this was successful, if this round was successful, I would only be able to parent this child for five years or four years, I guess, as it were. And I, it was a lot to process. you know, if you're a patient and you're told you have one thing that's a lot to take on, you know, and then you're thinking about.   the treatment protocol and the things you have to do. And I think already, if it's not a tablet to swallow, but you're injecting yourself, that's another big thing to take on board. Then an illness that you've never heard of before where they say there's no treatment, there's no cure, and then she says five years left. I'm thinking in the back of my mind, thinking, have this, I want to become a mother. I have this.   cycle I have to go through, we're going to embryo transfer. My uterus has to be in good shape. What are you doing? What are you saying? How does this impact that? Because I've got acupunctures lined up for embryo transfer, right, before and after. And so I did have at least the presence of mind to say to her, can I, well, could this be a false positive? She said, no, we've done multiple types of tests.   Michelle (05:11) Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (05:35) and they all come back consistently indicating that you have these diseases. So then I said, can I test again? And she said, she shrugged her shoulders and said, sure, it's your insurance. So I vowed then and there that I would test again. And in the meantime, I would do everything possible. didn't matter what it was, whether it was my in uterine massage, which I did, or visualization, which I did.   Michelle (06:00) Mm -hmm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (06:05) or trauma work, which I did, or, you know, new therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin transfusions, which I did, an anti-inflammatory diet. I was gonna do it all. I was gonna throw the kitchen sink at it. And any woman who is trying to get pregnant knows exactly where I was and that feeling of, I've gotta make this happen. And I will just pull out all the stops. We're doing a full court press, right? And...   And so I did all those things and I came back within six months for a regular sort of review with your doctor. She opened the folder and she clearly not looked at the results ahead of time. And she said, well, look at that. You, don't have lupus and you don't have RA. And I said, would you like to know what I did? And she said, no, that's okay.   Michelle (06:54) What?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (07:04) And I said, well, that is, you know, that's pretty, that's pretty groundbreaking, right?   Michelle (07:11) Yeah,   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (07:12) so in any event, I was so, I was so shocked by all of this and, really for me, the penny dropped that doctors don't know everything that we treat them as if they must, that they are the Oracle and that they are the, the guide to whom we can outsource our health problems.   Michelle (07:23) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (07:35) But in fact, we have to work in partnership with them. And sometimes they're not willing for insurance or liability reasons to talk about or consider alternative therapies that might work. But we patients have the opportunity to explore those things that resonate with us that might have a meaningful impact. so my journey has really begun   Michelle (07:38) Yes.   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (08:04) as a patient advocate, really telling other women, you have more power than you think to move the needle on your health. And as a matter of fact, the things that you do might even be more important than what happens when you go to your acute care doctor, right? When you go into the doctor's office or into a hospital. And it has then...   taken me on a journey all the way to Oxford, England, where I ended up meeting a wonderful group of scientists here, a number of whom I helped fundraise for their companies for, all in the regenerative medicine space, and some of whom I've worked on longevity, healthy longevity advocacy.   other scientists whom I've worked on to bring an interesting anti -aging molecule called spermidine to market. So those are the...   Michelle (09:04) Yes. Is that, that's, that comes from   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (09:10) We can get it from wheat germ. We can get it from mushrooms. can get it from a huge variety of foods that are all plants. Essentially, if you want spermidine, it's almost exclusively in plants. only animal source is chicken liver, which is ironic because, of course, I remember my mother saying, you have to eat chicken liver. So moms do know, right? They've got a wisdom.   Michelle (09:19) Mm   Mm -hmm.   Yes.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (09:36) But it comes from plant sources. We also make it in our tissues. We moms make it in our breast milk. When we give it to our babies, it's there to help them grow. Men, of course, make it in their seminal fluid. is in there because DNA wraps itself around spermidine. And it's very tightly wound.   Michelle (10:00) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (10:04) Normally DNA is wrapped around something called histone bond. It's too big to really fit into semen. And it's also there in semen as an anti -inflammatory because it turns out that when men make sperm, it's a high reactive oxygen species event. Women and men can both make it in our gut biome as well. so those would be the main, the three sources would be from our tissue production.   Michelle (10:27) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (10:33) And that falls, that declines dramatically similar to the decline in production of estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, melatonin as we get older. And then the second area is the microbiome and then third is from our food.   Michelle (10:51) So interesting. So let's go back and talk about what, what do you think it was specifically that changed? Like, what do you think happened with your body? Because you came into the doctor and you had all the signs that showed that you had two different autoimmune diseases that she could pick up. And then you changed your diet, you changed your lifestyle. You really went through so much. and of course it's hard sometimes to figure out exactly what specifically, but now that you know what you know, and this is   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (11:03) Yeah.   Yum, yum.   Michelle (11:21) the work that you're doing. What are some of the things that come to mind?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (11:22) Hmm.   I went on an anti -inflammatory diet. So one of the first things I did was I researched a lot about both of these illnesses and I could see that inflammation was part of the root cause. And I'd heard about a diet called the Zone Anti -inflammatory Diet. This was popular in the early 2000s. And so I did that and that had a high emphasis on omega -3fatty acids.   on extra virgin olive oil. These are anti -inflammatories. It had a high emphasis on plants. And so my diet changed dramatically from more meat and charcuterie, sort of salami, these types of things over to plants. I also eliminated things which were known to be inflammatory triggers for me. So I had an allergy test done.   I could see that dairy was a problem, gluten was a problem, eggs happened to be a problem, which was a shame because I loved eggs. But we can't eat them every day and think the body won't notice. We have to kind of mix it up and have a diverse diet. So I essentially removed the inflammatory triggers to the immune system. I added in things that were naturally anti -inflammatory, like the omega -3s. And at the same time, when I did the intravenous immunoglobulin,   Michelle (12:44) you   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (12:50) I reset my immune system and there were studies in, there were small groups of patients with both rheumatoid arthritis and lupus who had done IVIG already in 2004 when I was diagnosed and I could see it work for them and I sort of felt like I have nothing to lose. It's kind of this or I wait for the inevitable.   And I did have people tell me, don't do the IVIG, because this was the time of mad cow disease. And people were quite concerned about prions, these proteins in blood plasma. And they were worried that you might be able to get that or hepatitis C. These were things that had been transmitted through transfusion products previously. But I still felt that, what, five years?   Michelle (13:25) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (13:49) I have nothing to lose. So I'm so glad that I did do that. know that everyone has to weigh up the risk -benefit analysis of any new treatment and their own situation. But for me, that was a decision that I made, and I'm so glad I did, because I spent 20, my insurance company spent $24 ,000 US on two transfusions, eight hours in total. And I have   Michelle (13:52) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (14:19) Going into remission meant that I have foregone over a million US dollars worth of immune suppressing drugs or chemo drugs because often we autoimmune patients get moved on to methotrexate, which is a chemo drug. I've not had to do any of those over these 20 years. And of course, I also don't live in pain and I don't.   Michelle (14:29) Mm Right.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (14:45) live in fear of because I'm suppressing my immune system, I have to avoid social situations where people might have a cold and give it to me and compromise my immune system. So it was a fantastic outcome for me. It's not one I think a lot of people hear about, but I think they should.   Michelle (15:06) for sure. I mean, it's good to hear everything. And I agree with you that everybody has to really assess their own personal situation. I think, I believe in the innate intuition that's kind of like our body's intelligence speaking to us, just like it does when we have an allergy or we feel some things off when we eat something. So I think that that is a really important component to that. And it's the thing that spoke to you when you were at your doctor's office, because it,   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (15:20) Yeah, agreed.   Yeah.   Michelle (15:36) You could have just said, okay, I'm going to completely bypass any questions that I have and fully just accept everything that I'm given. But something inside of you said, wait, hold up. Let me just do this again. Let me look at this. me think about this. So I really believe in that. think that is so important and important for people to hear because so often we do that. We bypass our own internal judgment and knowing.   You said something important is partnering up with your provider so that it's not an all or nothing. Of course you're going to utilize and you did, you got benefit from getting those tests because that woke you up to doing so many new and amazing things in your own life and implementing a better diet and so on. As far as Omega -3 goes, this is just something that I've been hearing of late.   that some of the supplements go rancid and that it makes it worse. it, have you heard about that?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (16:36) Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah, and apparently what you need to do is take this supplement and put it into the freezer. And if it gets cloudy, that is what I've heard is that then that's not good. It's supposed to remain clear throughout. I'm not an omega -3 fatty acid expert. I have lived for a number of years, very nearby one here in Oxford, Professor John Stein.   Michelle (16:45) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (17:05) who's done a lot of the research on mental health issues and omega -3s and how important they are for brain health. But yeah, I think, you know, get it from your diet first and foremost. Fatty fish is a great source, right? Yeah. Salmon, if we, you haven't already eaten all of it. Yeah.   Michelle (17:18) Right. Good fish. Yeah.   Wild caught, yeah. Yeah, I know. It's so crazy. Well, also just the mercury in some of the salmon, you know, the chemicals, but wild caught, I always say just.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (17:33) Yeah, wild caught. Yeah. And also anchovies, mackerel, sardines, right? The small fish are a really good source of omega -3 fatty acids. And those tend not to have the mercury. Obviously, if we're trying to get pregnant, mercury, definitely not your friend. So yeah.   Michelle (17:38) Sardines, yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah, for sure. I always say, you know, if you're not going to have it when you're pregnant and if you don't have it when you're trying to get pregnant because tuna, for example, they always caution not to have that because of the high mercury, but you don't want that in your system if you're trying to conceive. So for I was very intrigued by your story and I was also intrigued by what you do because when you think about egg quality, sperm quality and really reproduction,   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (18:02) Yum. Yum.   Hmm.   Michelle (18:18) you think anti -aging, that's like ultimately anti -aging in a nutshell. Like that's really what I do for people that I work with. And it benefits me because I'm like, okay, you know, I'm just going to apply a lot of these things as I learn. it definitely, but that's what it is. It's anti -aging. Like I'm big on meditation, which has also been shown take our clocks back, but food and diet and certain supplements,   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (18:20) Mm -hmm. 100%. Yeah.   Yeah. Yeah.   Michelle (18:46) can actually shift and slow down your aging or sometimes even like reverse your biological clock. And I know you're the expert in this specific topic. So I'd love for you to talk about that and what has been discovered and seen in this subject.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (18:57) Sure.   So when we are at our peak health is when we are reproductively capable. And we visually know this when we go out and we see a woman with glossy long hair, with long eyelashes, with healthy radiant skin, of healthy body weight, we know that that is someone who is   who is really attractive and why are they attractive? Because they are at their reproductive height. And interestingly, all of the things I have described are also linked with your spermidine levels. And so that's quite interesting. But also, your hormones are in perfect balance when you can reproduce and that includes not just the usual female sex hormones,   Michelle (19:36) Mm   Mmm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (20:01) but also your thyroid hormones. So I'm also a Hashimoto's survivor as well. And so I'm a hypothyroid patient and that is also really important. So it's got to be in perfect balance then. And one of the things that happens with some of these anti -aging molecules is that they extend fertility.   Michelle (20:07) Mm   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (20:28) partly by reversing your age, but they will start the reproductive cycle back up for some people. And it kind of depends how far away from menopause you are. But we've certainly had clients who've said, what happened? I've been in menopause for two years and I've gotten my cycle back. And...   On the one hand, want to say, congratulations, that's great. But they're thinking, this means I can't wear white trousers now, right? And I thought I was done with the pads and the tampons. So I know it's a little bit of a double -edged sword. We women are often thinking about, how do we get rid of our cycles? But in fact, they are nature's way of saying that we are in peak health and are capable of bringing another life into this world.   Michelle (20:55) Hahaha   Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (21:22) You know, we do have to bear that in mind. Of course, the same is true for men. And we know there's a problem with testosterone declining in young men, whether it's due to endocrine disruptors in our food and our water supply, toxins in the air. There is a challenge to men as well. And we do want to see them at their reproductive best in order to be at optimum health, too.   And that is also something that these geroprotectors, these senolytic drugs, these anti -aging molecules can do. They seem to restore fertility in men as well as women.   Michelle (22:03) Amazing. And so let's break it down for people who have never heard of these molecules and these supplements and spermidine. So take a step by step, like, so that people listening can understand what it is.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (22:07) Yeah.   Sure. OK. Well, first, me just say that there are scientists believe that there are 12 reasons why we get older. And these are known as the hallmarks of aging. And they include things that you and your listeners will have heard of before, things like inflammation, leaky gut, stem cell exhaustion or dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction.   So, you know, where you have no energy. Telomere shortening. So telomeres are at our in caps and they limit the number of times that we can replicate ourselves. So all of these reasons why we get older, scientists have looked at different molecules that can inhibit those, you know, us going down those pathways. And they have a list of these molecules that   inhibit certain numbers of molecules. And the two that do the most are one called rapamycin, which is a bacteria, and the other one is spermidine, which we manufacture ourselves, like I said, in our gut, in our tissues, and also we get from food. But importantly, it is found in both breast milk and in sperm, and it's so necessary for the survival   the start and survival of the next generation, that it's also in the endosperm of all plants. So these two molecules, rapamycin and spermidine are kind of the darlings of the anti -aging set. And one of spermidine's superhero powers is that it activates cell renewal and recycling.   So if we think about staying in perfect health, one of the first things we want to do is make sure that we can do is every day oven cleaning, right? And the cells do have that function. Maintenance, exactly, exactly. Now, when we're young, it happens naturally and we don't think anything of it, but as we begin to age, that process falters and the cells, the dysfunctional cells,   Michelle (24:16) Mm -hmm. It's a maintenance.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (24:32) which we call senescent cells, they begin to stack up. And the more of these senescent or zombie cells that we have, the less well the other cells function. And I sometimes say that these zombie cells are a bit like your uncle Ted who has too much to drink at a wedding, and he begins to say inappropriate things.   Michelle (24:45) Mm   you   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (24:56) and do really silly stunts and you just think, okay, we got to get Ted over with pot of coffee in the corner away from everybody else or he's going to ruin the party for everyone else. This is what senescent cells do to you. You have one senescent cell and it begins to leak inflammatory contents to the other cells nearby and zombie -izes them and does the same to the other cells. It's a cascade effect.   Michelle (25:09) Mm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (25:25) That is what spermidine can actually, one of the things it can help with in particular with immune cells, it can prevent those immune cells, well rather it can rejuvenate senescent immune cells and that is the work that was done at the University of Oxford.   Michelle (25:43) That's amazing. you moved there to work with them in the research?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (25:48) Well, I came here anyway. I came here because my ex, now sadly my ex, but we have two wonderful children together. He was from Oxford and moved here to be closer to his family and still close to them and absolutely fell in love with the town and just the vibe. University towns are definitely my kind of place.   Michelle (26:09) Hmm. That's nice.   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (26:18) Just the scientific rigor here in the life sciences, it's phenomenal. It's really impressive.   Michelle (26:29) That's amazing. so the two things you're saying are spermidine and rapamycin. and so spermidine is something that you could take from supplements, but not so much rapamycin.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (26:39) You can't, no, not rapamycin, no. It's not something you're going to find in food. So it was basically isolated on Rapa Nui, which is one of the Eastern islands. And one of the pharmaceutical company, a researcher basically took it back home to the United States and it was later researched and found to do.   some really amazing things, one of which is that it can suppress the immune system. And this is important for people who have organ transplants because the tissue match is not perfect and their bodies necessarily want to reject any foreign material in their bodies. So if you give these patients immune suppressants to stop the rejection of the organ, they can live quite nicely with   Michelle (27:16) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (27:33) with that organ and continue in reasonable health, understanding that their immune system has been suppressed. Spermidine, though, of course, it's in our diet. It's something that our gut biome, if it's not been compromised by too much exposure to broad spectrum antibiotics, it can make. And in all of the longevity hotspots of the world, these populations of healthy centenarians, their spermidine levels are   high, they're similar to those of people who are in their 50s. And it's correlated with healthy lifespan. So I always recommend that people try to get more plants in their diet because you will get spermidine in your plants. If you can have fermented foods,   Michelle (28:12) Mm   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (28:29) If you don't have a problem with histamine load, and some people do for allergy, you know, if they've got allergies, but if you don't have a problem with histamine, then, you know, kimchi, sauerkraut, even things that are long matured like cheese. And a lot of people can say, I'm not allowed cheese because it'll make me gain weight. Well, yes, but there is also some spermatine there. The longer the maturity of the, of the cheese, the more it's been aged, the higher the spermatine content.   Michelle (28:45) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (28:58) Usually these are harder cheeses like a Parmesan or a cheddar. These would be good sources. And then for individuals who need extra, then a supplement makes sense. But I always say, get it first from your food. Please do not rely on a supplement, right? That's not doing, it's a disservice to think that you can just have a bunch of little pills on your plate.   Well, at first you're not going to get any satisfaction from it. But the other thing is that we need the fiber in those plants because that fiber, although our bodies don't, don't digest it, the gut biome needs that. And so you, you want to also feed the colonies in your gut biome that can make more spermidine for you. You know, we have these little pharmaceutical factories that make   Michelle (29:46) Mm   Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (29:54) everything from B vitamins and serotonin, one of the happiness hormones, and spermidine. So why waste it? actually in our supplement, the wheat germ derived one, we have a fructo -oleigosaccharide in there, an FOS, can selectively feed the bacteria that make spermidine. And the reason I want it there is because that's also what's in breast milk. In breast milk, you have   these fructo -aligosaccharides, you have spermidine, sperminine, another polyamine that actually helps turn good genes on, bad genes off, and then a precursor polyamine called putrescine. So you want some fiber, basically, that's the takeaway. Please, you want the fiber, yeah, exactly, because it's always better to, what do they say? Teach a man to fish, feed him for life, right?   Michelle (30:38) With the spermidine. Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (30:49) rather than just give him the fish. And that's kind of what we want to do. We want to train your body to make more of it, especially as you get older, because you'll have to eat increasing amounts of plant material to make up the shortfall of your tissue production of spermidine going offline.   Michelle (30:57) Right.   It's fascinating. So wheat germ is not necessarily gluten -free. For people who are gluten -free, what do they do?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (31:16) Well, OK, so yes, obviously, this is a problem in particular for autoimmune patients. And I went on the autoimmune paleo diet myself. I got rid of all gluten. I was off all lectins. Gluten is most famous lectin. So I had so many autoimmune patients getting in touch with me who'd heard my story that I actually looked for a plant source high in spermidine that was not a lectin. And I found it in an unusual strain of chlorella.   Michelle (31:28) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (31:45) So I went to Okinawa and had to test 120 different strains, substrains of chlorella to find the single one that had very high expression of spermidine. And we commissioned that to be grown in open -air freshwater ponds that are on land in Okinawa, but next to the ocean, but not in the ocean.   Michelle (31:46) Mm   wow.   It's wild.   huh.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (32:11) And that's what we use in our gluten -free product, which also has Okinawan autumn turmeric and has Okinawan lime peel. So lime peel has another autophagy activator. That's that cell renewal process. This autophagy or cell renewal activator is called nobilitan. And it's also in bergamot, in bergamot, the citrus fruit.   Michelle (32:16) Mm -hmm.   Mm   Mm -hmm. Right.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (32:38) And that actually, interestingly enough, is an Earl Grey tea. So if you're going to drink a tea, maybe some Earl Grey, you'll get some nobilitan in that. But that formulation was especially made for celiacs and for other autoimmune patients who really wanted the benefits of autophagy but couldn't use the defatted wheat germ version that we had brought to market first.   Michelle (32:42) wow. Interesting.   Mm   Mm   Amazing. Let me ask you a question. Have you looked into enzymes, pro proteleic? No, enzymes that are actually systemic enzymes that you have on an empty stomach. like things like wobe enzyme and yeah. And I think that there's another one, it's Nuzheim or there's another pretty well -known company. And I think it's from Europe.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (33:11) You mean like digestive enzymes or?   I've taken wovenzyme.   So yeah, wabenzim is German. I took that, gosh, maybe it's been around for decades and it does work. I took that from my, interesting. I took it, I didn't know that. I took it for joint pain. And so this was something that I was taking as a way to try and treat myself for the rheumatoid arthritis. So it didn't, it wasn't enough for that. I think it can help.   Michelle (33:40) It was beneficial for thyroid. Yeah, yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (33:59) more mild things, but definitely these are of benefit. And having a coach like you, who, you know, a trained practitioner who knows about all of the menu items that could be selected, you have the different tools, right? It's overwhelming as a patient. I mean, even just having my doctor say, just inject this one drug, that was like, whoa, can I get my head around the idea of injecting myself, right?   Michelle (34:13) Yeah, like different tools.   yeah.   Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (34:29) So you do need a guide and I think it's great that you've got that knowledge that you can share with your clients.   Michelle (34:37) Thank you. also, so for people who are interested, is it mostly the spermidine that you're focused on?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (34:45) Yes, so basically we are a small all -women company and you know, women -led companies, we get around 2 % of all venture capital funding. We don't have venture capital funding like our competitors. We very much are growing organically and are looking at really focusing on something that we know very well and making the most excellent   Michelle (34:49) Mm -hmm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (35:13) product on the planet. And for me, with my group of advisors, this has been the right thing to do because we've had so many raw material manufacturers and suppliers come to us telling us, try this spermidine. And when we tested in the lab, we see that it's basically a tiny amount of wheat germ, and it's been cut like a street drug with synthetic spermidine.   Michelle (35:15) Awesome.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (35:42) And the problem with synthetic spermidine is, firstly, OK, I am biased against the synthetic because I watch my mother take the synthetic HRT. I'm so glad I'm on bioidentical HRT. But the synthetic has never been tested for safety or efficacy in humans. So I'm reluctant to bring a product to market that has not been tested. And when it comes to fertility,   Michelle (35:43) wow.   Mm   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (36:11) We know that in mouse studies where they have used synthetic spermidine, small amounts seem to help. But then when you give just a little bit more, it actually impairs fertility. so with these...   Michelle (36:22) wow. That's important. That's really important, you guys, to listen to that because that's huge.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (36:28) Yeah, that's huge. So the problem is finding the Goldilocks zone. Each of us is bio individual. We have different ethnic difference, genetic differences, age, body shape, height, and metabolism. All of these things mean you want the right amount for you, but we don't know what that right amount is when it comes to synthetic spermidine. With plants, however, it's not a problem.   because the body recognizes this, we have co -evolved with plant -derived spermidine for millennia. So when there's too much, the body says, right, we're going to turn this into spermine, which is going to help with turning good genes on, bad genes off with the DNA methylation. But this doesn't happen with the synthetic. I think that on the fertility front, as a woman, I would never make that.   Michelle (36:55) Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (37:21) I would never go for something that might possibly hurt my fertility.   Michelle (37:25) absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, it's a complete waste of time because you're trying to do all these other things and then you're going to take something that's not, that's a risk. and then I was curious, it says you were talking about it you were saying that sometimes they'll find it in certain mushrooms, cordyceps by any chance.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (37:30) Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.   Mmm.   it will be in cordyceps. It will be in all mushrooms and the ones that have the highest amount of swirmed in our shiitake, oyster and trumpet, but all mushrooms will have it. And, know, if you, if you don't have a problem with, mushrooms, know, this is fall, it's autumn. This is the right time to, you know, get some mushrooms into your stews and your soups and,   Michelle (37:43) Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.   Awesome.   Mm -hmm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (38:06) It's really, it's so, so good also because it's got vitamin D and we're just coming off of this period where we've soaked up the vitamin D from the sun over the summer, but now we're going into winter and we're gonna get less. So there are so many reasons to get it also a wonderful source of fiber.   Michelle (38:16) Yeah.   Yeah, amazing. So if people are interested and want to learn more and then also want to look at your products, how can they find you?   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (38:32) They can go to Oxford HealthSpan, like the span of a bridge, it's all one word, .com. And if they're interested in learning more about healthy aging, we do bring breakthrough scientists who talk about things, not just about cell renewal or autophagy, but talk about other things as well. We also have them talk about, say, NAD, things like this. That's at the OxfordLongevityProject .org.   Michelle (38:56) Yeah.   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (39:01) And then I have kind of a side hustle helping my girlfriends with gray hair reversal. And that's on Leslie's new prime. Spermadine helps with that as well. It helps with hair health and eyelash and eyebrow health. That is on Leslie's new prime on YouTube. So L -E -S -L -I -E is how I spell my name.   Michelle (39:08) nice.   Fabulous. Leslie, this was fascinating. I really enjoyed talking to you. And also a key point, you got pregnant naturally at 40. Okay. important thing to mention. And I kept thinking about it as we're talking about, wait, wait, let's go. Let's go talk about that, even though it's kind of the end of the episode.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (39:34) I did at Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's a, it's a happy ending. So, so the fifth IVF with the donor eggs didn't work. As a matter of fact, the embryologist said on embryo transfer, said, I don't know why you didn't use your eggs. Your eggs are better than this younger donor. I was like,   You're kidding me because I can't tell you how much I just sacrificed to pay for that. And, but, know, basically fast forward, I adopted a little girl from China. So I became a mom. become parents, you know, mother is a verb. It's not a noun. So that was, that was great. And as I was taking care of her, I still felt very, very tired and I couldn't understand what was going on, why I saw these other moms.   Michelle (40:02) wow.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (40:27) running around with scout troops, planting gardens, walking dogs, five children. You know, why? How do they do it? They're the same age and they have so much more energy. And I just, I did go to Dr. Google. I put in every symptom I had and it came up hypothyroid. So then,   The GP here in the UK said, no, you're in the normal range. No problem. I went to a private GP. No, you're normal. I went to a private endocrinologist. No, you're normal. And I just thought, I know I'm not. These doctors keep telling me I'm normal. I know. We patients always, if you do feel like that, follow your intuition, find a doctor who believes you, and we'll run the test. We'll work with you to uncover the mystery. It's like a murder mystery, right? So.   Michelle (41:09) Yes.   Yes.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (41:14) So I went on patient forums. Patient forums have been great help. Went there and people said, there is one doctor who will help you and he won't just look at your blood test. A lot of doctors look at thyroid problems and they only look at your blood test, your TSH, your T3, your T4. I went to him and he looked at clinical symptoms and he also ran a cortisol test. And he said that my...   Michelle (41:33) Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (41:43) Cortisol was the lowest he had ever seen. It was so bad, he didn't know how I was standing in front of him. And I had classic cold hands, cold feet. Yes, my hair was thinning. I was exhausted. I was breathless as I went upstairs. I was losing the outer third of my eyebrows. These are all clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism. He then said,   Michelle (41:50) Wow.   Mm   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (42:09) What you need to do is address your adrenals first because of the cortisol problem, and then two weeks after that, take some thyroid. And because I actually do not convert levothyroxine, which is a standard thyroid hormone that most people get, like 60 % of all Americans will get that, but I can't convert it into the bioavailable.   Michelle (42:22) Mm   Right. Yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (42:33) thyroid hormone known as T3. And your cell receptors only have receptors for T3, not for levothyroxine. So if you've been taking loads and loads of levothyroxine, you still feel wiped out. You probably are just like me and have a genetic, you're genetically challenged and you can take a test with Genova diagnostics. I think it's called the DIO2 genetic test, D -I -O -2. And   Michelle (42:35) Mm   Mm   Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (43:01) here in the UK cost about 75 pounds and you then can get T3 prescribed either synthetically or you can do what I do and Hillary Clinton also does. take something, we take a desiccated pig's thyroid. In America there's Armour, There's Armour, there's Urfa, there are a few brands and that within, you know, two to three weeks basically on that   Michelle (43:16) Is that armor? Yes, yeah.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (43:29) Pregnant right away. No idea. Had not even, didn't check if I was ovulating. You remember the days when you're like, you've got a thermometer under your tongue and you're checking, am I ovulating? Could it be now? And all the calendar work that you've got to do when you're trying to get pregnant, none of that. It just happened. And I was so shocked. yeah. So my daughter, Marguerite, was born, you know,   Michelle (43:38) Yeah.   That is so crazy.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (43:57) Eight months later, was just one day shy of being premature, so I got her over the premature line. And 10 out of 10 on the Apgar score delivered at age 43.   Michelle (44:08) Amazing. mean, that is just incredible. I'm sure, I mean, I'm so excited about this episode because I just feel like it's mind blowing, first of all, just all the different stories. And it also covers things that I feel are really important. advocating for yourself as a patient. I mean, that is huge. And I think a lot of us have been in those kinds of situations. You said something that I was like, wow.   That's a quote, find a doctor who believes you. You know, because also getting different opinions is super important and it's a game changer. It'll totally change your whole journey.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (44:37) Yeah, yeah, yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah. Well, look what this doctor did for me. So what none of the doctors had realized with those other two autoimmune conditions was that I had my autoimmune, the system, the immune system had not only attacked my joints and my organs, but it had attacked my thyroid. And the way that he could see it was, you know, he could see with.   Michelle (45:07) Mm -hmm.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (45:11) that I had all the clinical symptoms, but with an ultrasound, he could see that I had only one eighth of a thyroid left. I had so little viable thyroid left. There was just nothing of the organ left. yet, because he didn't want to fall in line here in Britain, he was actually hounded by the British Medical Council.   Michelle (45:23) Wow, that is so crazy.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (45:35) Mary Schumann, the thyroid advocate in the United States, who's written a number of thyroid patient handbooks, actually got a campaign together to try to gather signatures. And he had tens of thousands of signatures from grateful patients. But the medical council actually wasn't listening. They wanted their protocol to be followed. And it had to be a blood protocol.   Michelle (45:55) It's so crazy to me.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (46:02) And this is the problem is the blood does not show everything. But of course, we patients get these data points 24 -7.We know if our hair is falling out, if we can't shift the weight, if we can't walk upstairs without getting winded, if we've got cold hands and cold feet, our partners know because they tell us, God, you're freezing. What's going on? So we need.   Michelle (46:06) you   Yeah.   Mm   Yeah, yeah, totally, totally.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (46:30) Our partners know it. If, if you happen to be sleeping with a doctor, maybe he can be a prescribed for you and he'll believe it because of the cold feet. but otherwise, you know, you have to rely on your powers of persuasion to find a doctor who's willing to go the extra mile with you and get curious. I only ask that I just find a doctor who's willing to get curious with you.   Michelle (46:35) Right? Yeah.   Yeah, I love that. I love that. Well, I mean, I could talk to you for longer than we have. But let's say this is amazing information, like really, really, truly amazing. And I love your story. And I love the way you truly believed in yourself. And that's something that I want to tell everybody who's listening, just believe in yourself because you know, and you know what? The body is so forgiving, way more forgiving than we give it credit for. It's just a matter of   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (47:21) 100%.   Michelle (47:22) figuring out like what is it exactly that it needs, like just figuring it out, its own way of communication. So thank you so much, Leslie, for coming on today.   Leslie Kenny Oxford Healthspan (47:28) Yeah.   absolutely. Thank you for having me on. really appreciate it. It was lovely chatting with you, really fun. And keep going with your amazing work. Women need guides they can trust like you, who are willing to take the extra time to get curious and share the knowledge that you've gained over the years and the hard work you put in to get pregnant yourself, right?   Michelle (47:57) Thank you so much.

I use them most for GI vitamins and allergy screening. Much more affordable than a standard lab.  DNA heartworm testing-  I've sent to Canada in past- very tricky with customs. Apparently Auburn offers this test. Any vet can set up an account with Auburn's lab to be able to run the test. Ideal when pet parents choose not to use a preventative. Detects living heartworm DNA - positive much sooner than standard testing. Heartworm - Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Animalbiome.com is an excellent company. tons of high quality research on microbiome health in dogs and cats and specific research on gut health with raw fed animals. Pet parents can test their pet's biome. I tend to recommend this with all of my GI cases, chronic skin, immune health cases. Results vary a lot. Some pets have severe e-coli overloads and practically zero beneficial bacteria so they need fecal transplants and specific pre/probiotic and fiber sources. Inulin might be a better fiber source than psyllium in some cases. Some pets don't have pathogenic bacteria but they have no good flora so they will also need fecal transplants. Best to work with a vet when this is needed as most of my patients need more support when they are undergoing fecal transplant. I reach for S boullardi /FOS a lot. This is not found in standard small animal formulas. Their product line is amazing! Vax/Titers: puppy /kitten vaccine protocol with titer testing recommendations from Dr. Jean Dodd's foremost authority on endocrine disease and immunology in small animals. One of her projects is the rabies challenge fund. vaccine protocol | HemopetPuppies and kittens need their vaccine series per the protocol to protect them from deadly diseases. We think of these as core vaccinations. We start them earlier in Texas because of the much higher risk here. These vaccines are extremely effective. I usually run titers when the pet has already had one 3 year vaccine because they tend to be better protected and if they are protected, we can run the titers every 3 years when the vaccine would be due.  Rabies is a legal requirement to prevent human exposure to this deadly disease. We have  a lot of rabies in Texas! Every year, there is at least one pet dog and multiple kittens or adult cats who test positive for Rabies in Austin. They are tested because of human exposure and they are euthanized so their brain tissue can be tested :( All healthy pets should be vaccinated at least twice before titers are run.  Titers can still be run but many clinics won't accept the titers. I am rabies vaccinated because I used to work with wildlife. We tested our titers regularly and when they were low, we got a booster. This is standard practice in the human field and may someday be the standard with small animals.  Interceptor dose example: Sharing this with y'all so you can see the calculation for Interceptor (milbemycin oxime) **Please note- the chewable pill cannot be broken because the medication is not evenly distributed** Jax weighs 80 # We convert his weight to kg= 36.4kg 36.4 x 0.1mg/kg = 3.64 mg- this is the bare minimum dose to prevent heartworms. I don't like to have such a narrow margin in case the dog gains weight or there is resistance to the drug and because we can't break the tablet, so I tend to dose at 0.2mg/kg - 0.3 mg/kg (instead of 0.5mg/kg)  So, his more appropriate dose is 7.3 mg- we round up to 8mg.  The 50- 100# dose is 23mg.  The 26-50 # dose is 11.5mg. It's the next size down.  11.5mg divided by 36.4 = 0.3 mg/kg dose so we're good!Note: The lower dose does not protect against hookworms according to the study, so you would need to be aware of this. Any dog with a history of hookworms needs the higher dose until 100% clear on antigen testing.    This episode is sponsored by: Noble Origins, an animal-based organs focused company serving up Nose-To-Tail Protein With Organs, Collagen, & Colostrum.
