Today we are joined by a very special guest and dear friend of the Biohacking Girls community in Norway — Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan and a leading voice in the global longevity field.Leslie has spent years studying how we can support cellular health, slow biological aging, and improve healthspan — the years we live with strength, clarity and vitality.She is also one of the most loved speakers at Biohacking Weekend, and this year she returns to Norway for the fifth time.In this episode we dive into one of the most talked-about molecules in longevity science: spermidine.Spermidine is a naturally occurring compound found in many foods and is being studied for its role in autophagy, the cellular “recycling system” that helps maintain healthy cells as we age.But there are also many misunderstandings around this topic.In this conversation we explore:• What spermidine actually is and why scientists are interested in it• The difference between food-derived and synthetic spermidine• Why “more is not always better” in longevity science• Why supplements should never replace lifestyle foundations• How autophagy supports cellular renewal and immune resilience• Why longevity science needs more female-specific research• Spermidine-rich foods and the idea of a food-first approach• What Leslie is seeing right now in the global longevity field• The shift away from miracle molecules toward whole-system healthWe also discuss the broader perspective of longevity: not about living forever, but about maintaining strength, cognitive clarity, mobility and independence as we age.Links to read more:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tcb.2023.08.002https://doi.org/10.1080/2162402X.2022.2146855If you want to learn more about longevity science, cellular health and the future of healthy aging, Leslie will be speaking live at Biohacking Weekend 2026 in Norway, 21 th and 22nd of March.Join us for a weekend filled with inspiring talks, cutting-edge science and practical tools for optimizing health.Sign up for Biohacking Weekend 2026 here:www.kongresspartner.no

March is here — and The Wellness Edge is kicking off the month with a practical, feel-good conversation on heart health you can actually use. In this episode, Coach Lochi and Dawn Edens dive into simple daily shifts that support a stronger heart over time—without the fear-based messaging. You'll hear why movement is still the #1 “best bang for your buck” habit (think “huffy puffy”), how recovery and sleep impact your heart more than most people realize, and why metabolic stability—especially protein pacing—can be a game-changer for long-term cardiovascular support. They also explore hydration and circulation support (hello, nitric oxide), the gut–heart connection, and how consistency beats perfection when you're building heart-healthy habits that stick. If you want more energy, better recovery, clearer thinking, and a stronger foundation for cardiovascular wellness in the next 30 days—this one's for you.

Reflections on the Peter Attia/Epstein scandal; How to lower lp(a)—does diet help? What are bio-active peptides? Could they stave off kidney disease? Scientists just tested the fittest 81-year-old in the world—here's what they found; Media erroneously report that intermittent fasting is not effective for weight loss; Sugary drinks may stoke anxiety in teens; Omega-3s support kids' reading fluency and spelling scores; Surprising study shows saturated fats not harmful to kidneys.

About the Show:"if you stay active, if you stay engaged in your life and you're serving a larger cause, like for me, helping other people to find the courage and the energy to reinvent themselves and go back to their childhood, which is what I've done with myself." – David NelsonWhat does it look like to reinvent yourself at 71? For David Nelson, it starts with a pickleball paddle and a whole lot of intentional joy.David is a wellness expert, motivational speaker, and founder of AHA University — and he'll be the first to tell you he's also the CEO of Fun. In this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, he sits down with Randy Wilburn to talk about what happens when you stop treating age as a ceiling and start treating it as a starting line.After a running injury forced him to find a new outlet, David discovered pickleball — and what began as physical therapy quickly became something much bigger. He's now using the sport as a bridge between generations, cultures, and communities, proving that a simple game can open doors that might otherwise stay closed.This is a conversation about reinvention, the underrated power of play, and why Northwest Arkansas keeps showing up as the kind of place where people — and possibilities — flourish. No matter where you are in life, David's story might just be the nudge you didn't know you needed.Key Takeaways:Reinvention Has No Age Limit: You can start something new, find purpose, and build community no matter how old you are.Pickleball as a Gateway: Pickleball brings people of all ages together and helps build coordination, connection, and confidence.The Power of Play: Play is not just for kids—adults and seniors need it for mental and physical health.Active, Healthy Aging: Staying active makes a difference, even if it's just walking or playing with friends.Importance of Family & Community: Northwest Arkansas is a place where family matters, and there are many ways to connect with others.Storytelling & Legacy: Sharing your story and listening to others can inspire, heal, and help you find your real voice and values.Consistency Matters: Small steps and gradual improvement add up over time.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Aha.UniversityDavid Nelson on LinkedInFindItNWA.com NWA's Hyperlocal Business DirectoryThis episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its...

Text us a comment or question!If you've ever said, “My metabolism just isn't what it used to be,” this episode is for you. Most people over 50 believe their slowing metabolism is an unavoidable part of aging — but that belief may be the very thing holding them back from strength, energy, and confidence. In today's episode, Coach Kevin breaks down the metabolism lie that quietly costs people years of vibrant living — and explains what's actually happening inside your body as you age. This isn't about another diet.It's about reclaiming control. What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why “getting older” isn't the real reason fat loss feels harderThe cultural narrative that convinces people decline is inevitableWhat really causes metabolism to slow down over timeThe dangerous belief that keeps people stuck — even when they're trying hardThe hidden cost of accepting decline as “normal”A simple, sustainable framework to rebuild your metabolism after 50The key questions to ask yourself if you feel stuck, frustrated, or exhausted Your metabolism isn't broken. It's adaptive. And when you change the signals you send your body — through strength, proper fuel, and lifestyle habits — your body responds. This episode will challenge what you think you know about aging, fat loss, and metabolism… and give you a clear path forward if you're ready to stop guessing. 

In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. Sundeep Dugar—renowned medicinal chemist, co-inventor of the drug Zetia, and industry pioneer with over 40 years of experience—to explore the foundational role of mitochondrial health in aging, hormones, and energy.Dr. Dugar shares why he transitioned from Big Pharma into the nutraceutical space, explaining that while pharmaceutical drugs often target isolated diseases, mitochondria are central to nearly every aspect of human health. Because mitochondrial dysfunction underlies conditions ranging from fatigue to muscle loss, brain fog, and chronic disease, supporting mitochondria offers broad, system-wide benefits.The conversation dives deeply into why mitochondrial health is especially critical for women. Dr. Jen and Dr. Dugar explain how mitochondria are inherited exclusively from the mother and play a central role in hormone production, including estrogen. During perimenopause, declining estrogen levels impair mitochondrial biogenesis, creating a “bioenergetic deficit” that drives hallmark aging symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive decline, and muscle loss.Dr. Dugar introduces epicatechin—a specific flavonol derived from green tea and cacao—and explains how it acts as an “exercise mimetic,” signaling the body to create new mitochondria. He clarifies how epicatechin differs from common green tea extracts like EGCG, outlines proper dosing, and discusses why more is not better.They also cover the broader implications of mitochondrial health for bone density, muscle preservation, organ failure, sleep quality, and the risks associated with rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications.Dr. Jen speaks with medicinal chemist Dr. Sundeep Dugar about mitochondrial health, estrogen decline, epicatechin from green tea, perimenopause, muscle loss, and healthy aging.Dr. Sundeep Dugar is a renowned medicinal chemist with over 40 years of experience in drug discovery and development. He is the co-inventor of Zetia and has worked extensively in cardiovascular, metabolic, and mitochondrial research. Dr. Dugar now focuses on translating cutting-edge science into safe, effective nutraceuticals that support foundational cellular health.Website: https://www.thrombio.com.au/leadership/sundeep-dugar Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sundeepdugar/PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

It's a senolytic, meaning it's designed to help clear senescent “zombie cells” that accumulate over time from stress, aging, inflammation, and environmental load. Think of it like a tune-up for the body. It's not a peptide you run for fat loss or acute injury healing. This is the kind of compound you may use once or twice per year to help keep the internal ecosystem cleaner, less inflamed, and functioning at a higher level.I walk you through what FOXO4-DRI is, where it came from, and the core mechanism that makes it interesting. Specifically, how it disrupts the FOXO4–p53 interaction inside senescent cells, triggers apoptosis, and largely spares healthy tissue. Then I cover what the animal data actually shows, what we can realistically expect in humans, and why the effects can feel “cumulative” over a few weeks, similar to how some people describe SS-31.I also share my personal reason for using it right now in the context of fertility and overall health optimization, plus the dosing strategies I've seen online versus the protocol I personally prefer.Want more direct access?

Join us in this inspiring episode as Dr. Sofia Din, physician and longevity expert, shares powerful insights about healthy aging, beauty from within, menopause, the gut-brain-skin connection, and what she believes were the most impactful longevity breakthroughs of 2025. We explore how genetics shape beauty, why preserving your best self is possible with the right tools, and how perimenopause and menopause affect the entire body—not just hormones. Dr. Sophia also reveals her annual gratitude list for innovations that truly help women thrive through every stage of life.  Whether you're interested in longevity, women's health, hormone balance, or simply feeling your best as you age, this episode is full of wisdom, science, and practical takeaways.

If you're a high performer living life like a race—training hard, eating "right," optimizing everything—but still feeling inflamed, tired, reactive, or stuck… this episode is for you. In this deep-dive rabbit hole episode, Coach Debbie Potts breaks down the real order of operations for health, performance, and longevity—from the nervous system to lymph, liver, bile, gut, and mitochondria—and explains why drainage must come before flow if you want to age strong, resilient, and metabolically healthy. You'll learn why: Flow is not effort—it's capacity The nervous system is the master switch for digestion, detox, hormones, and recovery Lymph only moves with breathing, movement, hydrated fascia, and parasympathetic tone The liver doesn't "detox" unless bile can package and carry waste out Pooping is the final step of successful drainage—not the first Forcing detox, training, fasting, or hormones without open exits creates symptoms, not healing Using the FLOW Foundation™ framework (Free the Nervous System → Lymph & Fascia → Oxygen & Blood Flow → Waste Removal), Debbie walks you through the cellular logic of why high performers burn out despite doing everything "right," and how restoring flow turns a stagnant internal swamp back into a clean, moving river. This episode connects the dots between: Nervous system regulation (safety vs. survival) Lymphatic drainage and inflammation Liver detox phases and bile flow Gut motility and hormone clearance Mitochondrial function, blood sugar, and aging capacity If you're ready to stop guessing, stop forcing, and start building health from the inside out, this episode sets the foundation for creating your own FutureYou Blueprint™—with the right order, for your unique body.

In this eye-opening conversation, functional medicine expert Dr. Mark Sherwood challenges everything you thought you knew about aging and health for women over 40. He starts with a powerful mindset shift: you're not old, you're not even halfway through your best years yet. Dr. Sherwood debunks popular health myths circulating on social media (including those parasite cleanses flooding your Instagram feed) and explains why fear-based marketing is leading women astray. He breaks down the critical differences between Western medicine, functional medicine, and holistic healing, emphasizing that health isn't determined by genetics but by daily choices.This episode dives deep into what women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond need to know about hormone balance during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Sherwood explains how declining progesterone and testosterone affect weight, sleep, brain fog, and libido, and why it's not "normal" to just accept these changes. He shares practical guidance on movement, nutrition, stress management, and the importance of hormone replacement therapy for longevity and quality of life. Whether you're just starting your health journey or looking to optimize what you're already doing, this conversation provides a roadmap for living your best life with energy, clarity, and strength well into your 100s.Visit Dr. Mark Sherwoods Website HereJoin the "Get Over Your EX 5 Day Challenge." ⁠Register Here ⁠We will spend 5 Days live, where I teach you the tools and steps to finally get him out of your head.#FunctionalMedicine, #WomensHealthOver40, #HormoneBalance, #HealthyAging

 In this Wellness Edge episode, Coach Lochi Horner shares five foundational habits that create real momentum—without perfection: improving sleep, managing stress, building more everyday movement (NEAT), adding simple mobility into your routine, and choosing a few daily non-negotiables that actually stick. You'll walk away with practical, realistic tips you can start using right away—plus an energizing reminder that small habits create big momentum heading into February (with a few laughs along the way, including a classic “Tigger” moment).

What if the key to living for over 125 years is already inside you, just waiting to be turned on? Every cell in your body has a built-in aging clock that's ticking down with each passing day. But here's the surprising part: you have a gene that could slow or even reverse that clock, and it's been deliberately shut off. In this episode, Dr. Bill Andrews, a molecular biologist and longevity researcher who discovered the human telomerase enzyme, explains why your telomeres shorten as you age and how activating your body's dormant anti-aging gene could extend both your lifespan and healthspan. If you want to understand the real science behind aging and what you can actually do about it, this conversation reveals breakthrough research that might just change everything you thought you knew about getting older.

What if the real question isn't just how to live longer, but why so many people are living longer and healthier lives on paper, yet feel depleted, inflamed, disconnected, or cognitively foggy in daily life?In this solo episode, Dr. Taz reframes what longevity really means and why healthy aging has far less to do with chasing more years and far more to do with protecting cellular health, vitality, and resilience across decades. She explains why humans are living longer than ever before, yet not necessarily living better, and how focusing only on disease management or biohacking trends misses the real drivers of aging.You'll learn why longevity is not defined by a number, but by biological age, health span, and cellular aging, and how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalance, nervous system stress, emotional disconnection, and loss of community quietly accelerate aging long before symptoms become diagnoses.This episode reframes longevity as a full body system, not a supplement stack or a protocol. One that integrates physical health, brain function, emotional regulation, spirituality, and community. When these systems fall out of sync, aging speeds up. When they are supported together, living longer becomes living with clarity, strength, and purpose.Dr. Taz shares: • What longevity actually means and why lifespan and health span are not the same • Why humans are living longer but not necessarily healthier • How cellular aging, inflammation, and metabolic stress drive chronic disease • Why diet quality, gut health, liver function, movement, sleep, and nervous system balance matter more than biohacking • How cognitive reserve, dopamine regulation, and emotional health protect the aging brain • Why community and spirituality are overlooked but essential pillars of healthy aging • Where peptides, hormones, and modern longevity tools fit and where they don't • How to build a longevity plan that is realistic, accessible, and sustainableWhether you're thinking about how to live longer, worried about aging faster than you should, or simply want to protect your health span as you move through midlife and beyond, this episode offers a grounded, integrative roadmap.Longevity is not about optimizing harder. It's about supporting the systems that keep you well, year after year.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters00:00 Longevity is not about more years00:50 Are humans really living longer01:49 The global aging reality03:31 Why aging became something to fear05:17 Aging on a spectrum, not a number06:07 The hidden disease burden of aging08:31 Cellular aging explained09:45 Why biohacking misses the foundation11:10 The five-body approach to longevity13:10 Community, emotion, and aging14:05 Diet, inflammation, and cellular health16:19 Medications, gut health, and aging16:49 Fasting, calories, and longevity18:52 What eating for longevity actually means19:39 Movement and aging well21:35 Sleep, repair, and brain health22:50 Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention24:20 Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging26:49 Spirituality, community, and vitality30:05 Peptides, hormones, and future medicine31:58 A new vision for positive aging32:48 Longevity is built day by day (00:00) - Longevity is not about more years (00:50) - Are humans really living longer (01:49) - The global aging reality (03:31) - Why aging became something to fear (05:17) - Aging on a spectrum, not a number (06:07) - The hidden disease burden of aging (08:31) - Cellular aging explained (09:45) - Why biohacking misses the foundation (11:10) - The five-body approach to longevity (13:10) - Community, emotion, and aging (14:05) - Diet, inflammation, and cellular health (16:19) - Medications, gut health, and aging (16:49) - Fasting, calories, and longevity (18:52) - What eating for longevity actually means (19:39) - Movement and aging well (21:35) - Sleep, repair, and brain health (22:50) - Dementia, cognitive reserve, and prevention (24:20) - Dopamine, emotion, and brain aging (26:49) - Spirituality, community, and vitality (30:05) - Peptides, hormones, and future medicine (31:58) - A new vision for positive aging (32:48) - Longevity is built day by day
