Your brain isn't just wired—it's mapped biochemically, and those signals may hold the key to longevity. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor sits down with Dr. Jennifer Garrison, a leading researcher at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and an adjunct assistant professor of gerontology. Dr. Garrison's groundbreaking work focuses on neuropeptides—the brain's chemical messengers—and their powerful influence on aging, behavior, and reproductive decline. Using cutting-edge techniques, she investigates how neuropeptide shifts impact longevity and explores the intricate brain-ovary connection, a key yet often overlooked factor in women's health. A recipient of prestigious honors, including the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship, Dr. Garrison is at the forefront of research aimed at unlocking new interventions for age-related conditions. Join us as we dive into her pioneering discoveries and discuss how understanding these biochemical signals could transform our approach to aging—especially for women's health and longevity.

Aging Research in Women takes center stage as Dr. Jennifer Garrison uncovers the overlooked reality that ovaries age faster than any other organ. This rapid aging, occurring at a rate two and a half times quicker than other tissues, significantly impacts women's health spans. From heightened cardiovascular risks to osteoporosis, the consequences of accelerated ovarian aging are vast, especially post-menopause. Yet, ovarian health research has long suffered from severe underfunding. At the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Garrison's work aims to address this deficit by understanding the brain-ovary signaling axis, which she believes is key to promoting healthier aging for women.

275 Delaying Menopause - Understanding the Ovary Dr. Jennifer Garrison, a researcher and assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, discusses her work on women's health and aging. She explains that her goal is to understand the underlying mechanisms of aging and develop interventions that promote women's health. Dr. Garrison focuses on the role of the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that controls various homeostatic systems in the body, including reproductive function. She emphasizes the importance of studying bioactive peptides, which act as chemical signals between the brain and other tissues. Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation for 12 months, but it also coincides with changes in ovarian function and the production of various chemical signals. Dr. Garrison highlights the need for further research to understand ovarian function and develop interventions to extend ovarian health. The conversation explores the work of the Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality and the importance of maintaining ovarian function for healthy aging in women. The center funds grants to scientists and clinicians studying ovarian aging and has seen significant progress in the field. The discussion also touches on the use of frozen ovarian tissue for preserving fertility in cancer patients and the role of peptides in reproductive function. The conversation emphasizes the need to reframe the narrative around women's health and highlights the inequality in health span between men and women. Takeaways Understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging can lead to interventions that promote women's health. The hypothalamus plays a crucial role in regulating various homeostatic systems in the body, including reproductive function. Bioactive peptides act as chemical signals between the brain and other tissues, influencing various physiological processes. Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation for 12 months, but it also involves changes in ovarian function and the production of chemical signals. Further research is needed to understand ovarian function and develop interventions to extend ovarian health. The Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality funds grants to study ovarian aging and has seen significant progress in the field. Frozen ovarian tissue can be used to preserve fertility in cancer patients. Peptides play a crucial role in reproductive function, but caution should be exercised when using peptide therapies. The narrative about women's health needs to be reframed to focus on maintaining ovarian function for healthy aging. Women live longer than men on average but spend a longer portion of their lives in poor health, highlighting an inequality in health span. https://www.buckinstitute.org/lab/garrison-lab/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjennifergarrison/ https://gcrle.org/ Special thanks to our sponsor, SOLV Wellness!

The Board of Supervisors heard an update last week on the non-lethal wildlife exclusionary program. They also proceeded with the development of a pilot program that would ask voters to approve the creation of a benefit zone to assess residents of Brooktrails and surrounding areas to maintain evacuation routes on private roads. And, while supervisors concluded that the county is not in a position to craft an ordinance to protect riparian areas and wetlands, they agreed to have Supervisor Glenn McGourty work with relevant agencies to collect maps of Mendocino County to organize the information about those areas. The county no longer has a contract with USDA's Wildlife Services, which offered non-lethal as well as lethal solutions to problems people have with wild animals. Citizens groups complained that Wildlife Services killed hundreds of animals that did not present a problem, while the agency itself insisted that the majority of its calls resulted in non-lethal assistance. Acting Ag Commissioner Andrew Smith told the Board that members of the public can contact either his department or county Animal Services for small wildlife nuisance animals. California Fish and Wildlife deals with larger nuisance animals or sick, injured, or orphaned wild animals. CDFW is the only agency that can issue a depredation permit for wildlife conflicts. The UC Cooperative Extension offers education and surveys about non-lethal wildlife control. Maps were key to the next two discussions. Residents in Brooktrails have already used the private FirCo road to evacuate during the Oak Fire. There are memorandums of understanding in place to continue using that road as well as the sewer easement road, but Department of Transportation Director Howard Dashiell said that LAFCO, the Local Agency Formation Commission, was seeking a durable written recorded right, plus a district boundary map to form a community services district. He confessed that his figures were “spitball numbers,” but he estimated that the cost of that would be about $100,000. Ongoing maintenance, he estimated, would be $45-50,000 a year. The aim is to cover the costs by assessing each parcel that would use the evacuation route a certain fee, perhaps $30 a year. Keith Rutledge, of Sherwood Firewise communities, told the Board he's confident that residents would vote to approve the benefit zone to maintain the evacuation routes. “These access routes can be used by CalFire or the sheriff or any emergency personnel, with or without maintenance, with or without access agreements for public emergency purposes,” he said. “We're not talking about permission for use for emergency access. We're talking about permission to maintain the vegetation along those routes so they can be used for evacuation. When CalFire comes through and bulldozes through an area to get access to something they don't currently have, they will come back and repair that. Typically, they'll come back and do the wattling and the stream restoration. It takes a long time, but they do take responsibility for the damages they cause. So if there were some terrible situation where there were damages caused, that would be the case. However, what we're trying to do is create a road surface that can be used by emergency vehicles that has the clearings and turnouts and all the safety features so that there won't be those damages, and they can quickly respond, like they did during the Oak incident.” The Board voted to send Dashiell back to LAFCO with a revocable license for the project, and to proceed with a ballot. In environmental policy, the Board heard from senior CDFW scientist Jennifer Garrison about the need to establish protections for riparian, stream and wetland areas. She began by summing up their fragility, and their role in the ecosystem. “California has lost 91% of its wetlands,” she said. “And in CDFW's northern region, which induces Mendocino County, it is estimated that only 25% of riparian habitats remain, due to land conversion and development…wetlands and riparian corridors benefit us all, humans, wildlife, and the environment. They contribute to the scenic value of Mendocino County and are host to many recreational activities. They store floodwater, protect land and structures against erosion, storm surges and flooding. Wetlands recharge groundwater and riparian corridors, trap sediment, and filter pollutants, preventing those substances from entering streams. Wetlands are habitat for over half of the listed threatened and endangered species in California. These areas are vital habitat for the majority of wildlife species as they provide water, food, and movement corridors. They are also the primary habitat for many mammal, bird, and amphibian species.” Garrison said CDFW supports setbacks from waterways, but that would reduce the amount of usable land on riparian or streamside parcels. Supervisor John Haschak siad the proposal was to seek a grant to hire a consultant who could figure out how to balance environmental and developmental interests. Interim assistant planning and building services director Nash Gonzalez said the earliest the county would be able to start crafting a protection policy would be 2026. “For an ordinance like this, the function is, you have to develop a scope of what it is that you want to achieve,” he told the Board. “You have to look at the big picture. And the big picture is, the protection of riparian resources. Well, you have to do the mapping. You have to look at someone to manage the project. Obviously, the Executive Office can work with the grants writer to look for a grant. But once you find the grant, who's going to manage the project? Because there's no free grant money out there. Somehow you have to bring some money, and that match might be from the General Fund…The other thing, too, is, it's been my understanding from this Board and previous Boards, is that the county's priority right now is housing. As you start limiting development on parcels, you are also going to start limiting the availability of housing in those areas. At what point do you say, this works, or this doesn't work. And that's part of the scope.” In light of funding and staffing shortages to proceed with a robust policy at this time, the Board tapped McGourty to identify what kinds of high-quality LIDAR and GIS maps already exist for Mendocino County.

In this talk show we're pulling back the curtain on one of the great mysteries in women's health. Menopause doesn't have to be scary if we understand everything we can about one of our most vital organs - the Ovaries. Please join our friends Jennifer Garrison and Deena Emera from the Buck Institute for our live talk show this Wednesday. Jennifer Garrison is an assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and also holds appointments in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California. She is also the Co-Founder & Director, Global Consortium for Reproductive Longevity & Equality.Deena Emera is a Senior Scientist and Writer-in-Residence in the Center for Reproductive Longevity and Equality at the Buck Institute, where she is drawing on her evolutionary background and expertise on female reproduction to investigate the evolution of menopause. She also continues working with students, teaching a science-writing course at Dominican University. Her book A Modern Guide to the Female Body will be published in the spring of 2023.
‘If we don't address reproductive longevity, then suddenly women are gonna be living more of their lives after menopause than before. And menopause does have a detrimental effect on even healthy women's risk for all sorts of health issues like cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, stroke, cognitive decline. There's just a lot of things that happen that don't need to happen.' Dr. Jennifer Garrison is a world-renowned scientist who has won numerous awards for her research on aging and brain science. She is the Faculty Director of the Global Consortium for Reproductive Longevity & Equality, an assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and also holds appointments at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of Southern California.

Joining me on the podcast today is Jennifer Garrison PhD. Jennifer is an assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and also holds appointments in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California.Dr. Garrison's research focuses on understating how chemical communication between the brain and other tissues influence aging. Running a research lab is just one part of Dr. Garrison's work. Understanding aging on a molecular level is a key part of her work at the Buck Institute. The goal is to understand the underlying causes of aging as a way to tackle multiple diseases at the same time. “The goal is to increase health span . . . increase that period of time when you are healthy.” Jennifer Garrison Jennifer explains that she believes that the brain is the key player for systemic aging. She explains how the brain is controlling what's happening, by listening to and recording feedback from all the organs in your body. Dr. Garrison organized the International Scientific Conference Focused on Reproductive Aging. As we make progress extending healthy longevity, reproductive longevity must also be addressed. It's not just a physical issue but affects gender equality as well. A goal is to get rid of menopause and if that's not possible, then to extend it until much later in life. There's a lack of understanding about why women experience menopause at all. Jennifer paints the big picture that is fascinating. Did you know that only humans and a few species of whales even experience menopause? The research is underfunded, and Dr. Garrison is advocating that scientists and clinicians to talk and collaborate about these issues. The male body has been the baseline. Researching women's bodies is still underfunded and Dr. Garrison along with organizations like the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation are trying to bring awareness and the need for more research. Funding is key to bringing the scientists and physicians together who can begin to answer fundamental questions about women's bodies and reproductive health. What should every woman know about reproductive aging? The ovary isn't just for fertility. It produces endocrine hormones and other chemicals that are essential for general health that have nothing to do with fertility. Those functions are what Dr. Garrison wants to learn how they can be extended to improve overall health. Reproductive aging centers around equality. Every aspect of a woman's life is affected by the fact that she will go through a decline when menopause begins. Dr. Garrison wants this to be a conversation that's reframed with a holistic point of view. It's a unique time in history to be able to marry reproductive health with longevity. Ambassadors are welcome to have conversations about women's health and the incredible work being done by Dr. Garrison and others. Connect with Dr. Garrison: Buck InstituteSupport the show

Dr. Jennifer Garrison, PhD (http://garrisonlab.com/) is Assistant Professor, Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Founder & Faculty Director, Global Consortium for Reproductive Longevity & Equality (https://www.buckinstitute.org/gcrle/), Assistant Professor in Residence, Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, UCSF and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Gerontology, USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology. Dr. Garrison's lab is interested in understanding how neuropeptides (a large class of signaling molecules which are secreted from neurons and transmit messages within the brain and across the nervous system) regulate changes in normal and aging animals as well in understanding how they control behavior at both the cell biological and neural circuit level. Dr. Garrison received her PhD from the University of California San Francisco in Chemistry and Chemical Biology in the laboratory of Dr. Jack Taunton, where she discovered the molecular target of a natural product and elucidated a novel mechanism by which small molecules can regulate protein biogenesis. As a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Cori Bargmann's lab at the Rockefeller University, she showed that the nematode C. elegans produces a neuropeptide that is an evolutionary precursor of the mammalian peptides vasopressin and oxytocin, and mapped a neural circuit by which this molecule, nematocin, modulates mating behavior. Dr. Garrison was named an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow and received a Glenn Foundation Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging in 2014, and a Next Generation Leader at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in 2015. Her work is funded by the NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation.

On today's episode is Dr. Jennifer Garrison, Professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, and the Faculty Director of the Global Consortium for Reproductive Longevity and Equality (GCRLE), which is devoted to supporting breakthrough research on reproductive aging and women in science through funding, training, infrastructure, and collaborative intellectual networks. Dr. Garrison explains that while there are plenty of scientists working on aging and plenty who are working on reproductive biology, there are precious few who are working at the interface of these two fields, which is what they are trying to build at the GCRLE. She shares her fascination with ovarian biology and how it fits into the broader context of longevity research, and details the issue of equality in terms of women having to plan their life choices around reproductive longevity in ways that men do not, as well as funding for women's health being traditionally overlooked. Dr. Garrison answers questions about menopause across the animal kingdom, the link between reproductive span and lifespan in women, and the most important question we need to answer in order to truly understand ovarian aging. Dr. Garrison describes the key role played by the brain in reproductive success, the need for better animal model systems to understand menopause, and how hormone replacement therapy can help mitigate the negative health consequences around menopause. You'll also hear about the profound economic and societal impact of menopause globally, as well as Dr. Garrison's goals for the future and dream outcomes she envisions for the Consortium as they continue their cutting-edge research on the causes of ovarian aging. To learn more about their important work, visit https://www.buckinstitute.org/gcrle/ (BuckInstitute.org/gcrle/). Episode Highlights: The goal of the Global Consortium for Reproductive Longevity and Equality (CGRLE) is to extend the female reproductive span The Global Consortium began at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging through a generous donation from Nicole Shanahan and the Sergey Brin Family Foundation There are plenty of scientists working on aging and others who are working on reproductive biology, but precious few who are working at the interface of those two fields - that's what they are trying to build The GCRLE has three arms: Funding; providing resources to build out the field; and building a network communications platform to foster dialogue and collaboration among researchers working on female reproductive aging They've also opened the world's first ovarian biology core facility at the Buck Institute Ovaries are a very complex structure, and they age at a precocious rate - they're considered geriatric by the time a woman is in her late 20s, early 30s Nicole Shanahan's became involved with starting the CGRLE to find out what causes ovaries to decline in function so early Ovarian biology as it relates to reproductive longevity has been traditionally overlooked in terms of receiving funding Women's health has been looked at as a subcategory of medicine Equality is a key piece to what they do - women need to plan their life choices around reproductive health in a way that men do not Menopause accelerates the aging process It is relatively rare in the animal kingdom - humans are one of the only species that go through menopause Women who experience menopause later in life also tend to live longer and have an enhanced ability to repair their DNA There is a clear link between reproductive span and lifespan in women The key question is, What is the cue that tells a woman's ovaries to start declining in her 20s? The brain is a crucial player in reproductive success We need better animal model systems to understand menopause Female reproductive health trajectory and how medical intervention fits in Hormone replacement therapy is one of the best band aids we have to mitigate the negative health...

We have a hard working and knowledgable personal trainer with us today. His name is Guy Petruzzelli. We will be talking about How to get back into the game to become the your healthiest. As a 43 year old professional duathlete, who, at the age of 20, found a real passion for multi-sport, was forced to take some time away. I was hit by a car in 1996, leaving me rather injured and finding a comeback difficult. So I finished law school, passed the Illinois Bar exam and thought my time in the sport was over. In 2002, I was fortunate to have some close friends, who were concerned about my physical state, encourage me to get back into the sport. It wasn’t easy, but I came back to it with more desire, drive and passion. I worked hard under the coaching supervision of the great Jennifer Garrison, and in 2008 I was offered an opportunity to turn professional. It was a dream come true. I left law in 2009 to pursue my dream of being a professional multisport athlete and I have been blessed with the opportunity to do more with the sport, and meet a ton of great people along the way. As the 2010 season started to heat up in June, I was out for a training ride and once again, hit by a car. This time, I was left with a broken right collarbone and 3 broken ribs. My doctor insisted that even with surgery, I would miss the remainder of the season and would most likely not even be able to train hard until the start of 2011. I refused to believe that I would be limited for that long. So right after surgery I went to see Nate Aye and John Conquest at Crossfit DuPage. I was very honest about my goals as an athlete and the desire to be in the top tier of pro multisport athletes in 2011. They were very honest in turn, and made it clear – my goals were attainable, but it would take hard work and an open mind. From that day forward, I never looked back. A short 6 weeks later I met someone I knew would be a friend for life. Someone who was as driven as I was, constantly challenging the norm, and believed that working smart was the key to success in multisport. Brian McKenzie from Crossfit Endurance opened my eyes to even more change to my training methods, breaking down old school endurance training ideology, improving my running form, and changing my mentality as how I approach training and racing. I was skeptical for the first hour I heard him talk, and then I watched as in less than 48 hours, I had improved my running efficiency by 53%. I was a believer. With Brian’s help, I was able to achieve 2 things in less than 5 weeks – continue to speed up my healing process, and improve fitness. When I went to see my doctor at week 9 post-surgery, the x-rays showed 90% bone growth, and I was cleared to race duathlons. But the most amazing part – my 5K time dropped, my LT wattage on the bike increased by 33% and I was 8 lbs. lighter than pre-accident. This wasn’t by accident; this was due to following Crossfit Strength and Crossfit Endurance principles. Best part, I’m still improving. To spread the word of my recovery and passion, I was the focus of a Triathlete Magazine article in the February 2011 edition, written by TJ Murphy. I was then added to the book written by Brian MacKenzie in November 2012 – “Power, Speed, Endurance, a skill based approach to endurance training”, and featured in Chris Solomon’s article in the January 2013 issue of Outside Magazine, where Chris chronicles his use of Crossfit Endurance to train for a marathon. To prove that I practice what I preach, I’ve been working with Cody Burhardt, head coach at Power Speed Endurance, to help me reach my current world rank of 11th in Duathlon. I’ve also appeared on the podcast www.athleteologist.com – episode 8,where I was able to share my story. facebook.com/guypetruzzelli twitter,com/guypetruzzelli instagram.com/guypetruzzelli www.guypetruzzelli.blogspot.com For additional podcast from Healthy Living With Eric Su visit www.ericwsu.com/podcasts.
