NAD is all the rage. Its such a crucial molecule in our body that declines with age. You're probably not sure if you should be taking NAD or a precursor like NMN or NR, and if so, how – do we take supplements, IVs, injectables…? But you may have also heard of the dangerous pathways that some of these molecules take us down that increases the risk for cancer. So is there a better way? Yes! Molecular biologist Dr. Sandra Kaufmann, who is completely unbiased, clears the confusion and helps us navigate this world of NAD. It gets a little geeky, so break out your pen and paper, and keep the speed on 1x.  We cover: -   NAD basics -   What is NAD vs NAD+ vs NAD- minus -   Different categories of what NAD does -   How NAD controls circadian rhythms -   Is fatigue due to NAD or something else? -   Is it better to optimize our ovaries with NAD or HRT? -   If, how and when to take NAD, NMN, NR and which one is best? -   The best time to take NAD or its precursors -   When is the only time to do an NAD infusion -   What happens to our DNA when NAD is low -   How NAD can be made from scratch in the body -   The dangers of NAD and its precursors that may triggering more inflammation -   Can you test NAD levels? -   Best way to increase NAD levels naturally -   The cheapest way to increase NAD levels -   What Dr. Sandra does personally for her NAD Dr. Sandra Kaufmann started her career in the field of cellular biology. She got her Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. And then she turned to medicine, and got her medical Degree at the University of Maryland. And for the last nearly decade she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida. Everyone in the biohacking world knows Dr. Kaufmann and outside of this world she's been recognized as “Best in Medicine” by the American Health Council.   PAST EPISODES ⁠Brand New Supplement Solutions⁠ ⁠3 Brain Supplements To Keep Your Marbles Exosomes vs Stem Cells   Contact Dr. Sandra Kaufmann: Website: kaufmannprotocol.com Instagram kaufmannantiaging Facebook: Kaufmann Anti-Aging Institute Email: kaufmannaai@gmail.com Book 1: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How To Stop It Book 2 : The Kaufmann Protocol – Aging Solutions   Give thanks to our sponsors: Qualia senolytics and brain supplements. 15% off with code ZORA here.  Try BEAM minerals at 20% off with code ZORA here.http://beamminerals.com/ZORA Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical degree at the University of Maryland and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. Presently, she is National Transitional Anesthesia Medical Director for Envision Healthcare. In the realm of Longevity, she is the author and creator of the Kaufmann Protocol, a systematic explanation of why we age on a cellular basis coupled with an organized system to delay the aging process. This theory was introduced in the book The Kaufmann Protocol: Why we Age and How to Stop it which has been recognized by many longevity leaders as the go-to tome for understanding the aging process. She has more recently published The Kaufmann Protocol: Aging Solutions with an updated and expanded dive into longevity science. In addition, she has developed the Kaufmann Rating system, a numerical tool that evaluates molecular agents based on available scientific evidence. This process, the only one of its kind, allows longevity seekers a scientifically-based methodology to determine which longevity protocol best fits their lifestyle and health issues. Dr. Kaufmann is well respected in the longevity community for presenting viable and scientifically-based aging solutions that are available to everyone. She appears on weekly podcasts around the world, sits on longevity boards, and has spoken at innumerable health and biohacking seminars.

Dr. Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last five years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Most recently, she was recognized as “Best in Medicine” by the American Health Council. Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging began many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first, ever, comprehensive theory of aging.

In this conversation, we connect with Jonathan Lynch, Ph.D., a University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Plant Science at Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Lynch has been a professional in his field for 4 decades, receiving his Masters and Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from UC Davis, where he also completed his postdoctoral training. The global environment is constantly changing – which significantly impacts plant and soil health. As the head of the Roots Lab at Penn State, Dr. Lynch is on a mission to better understand the genetic, physiological, and ecological basis of plant adaptation to infertile soils. How does he achieve this? By meticulously studying the physiology, genetics, and ecology surrounding organismic processes… Tune in now to discover: How to improve the growth of plants in hard conditions.  The challenges that roots face in low-fertility soil.  Problems that soil fertilizers can pose.  The most important crops on Earth.  How climate change is affecting crop yield.  Join us now to dive into Dr. Lynch's fascinating journey through life and science!

This week I interview longevity queen, Dr Sandra Kaufmann the author of the Kaufmann Protocol and Aging Solutions. Dr Sandra is the head of department of Anesthesiology at  and just happens to be obsessed with longevity science. What started out as her own search to slow and reverse ageing turned into a comprehensive system that allows people to personalize their own regime to their particular set of problems or needs and goals. This ingenious system has revolutionized my approach and makes it so simple to construct a very personalized approach. There are innumerable things a person can read concerning aging, but at the most basic level, organisms age because their component cells age. We are all made of cells or cell products and as they falter, so do we. Because cell aging is multifactorial, the organization of these concepts is important. The Protocol organizes these various theories of cellular aging into seven categories or tenets. The information in this podcast discusses these concepts in the language of science. The following seven tenets encompass all of the presently known modes of cellular aging.  Based on this organizational scheme, Dr Kaufman then developed a strategy where aging is curtailed in every category.   The 7 Tenets are as follows: DNA alterations (telomere attrition, epigenetics) Mitochondrial failure Pathways (Sirtuins, AMP Kinase, mTOR) Quality control (DNA & Protein repair mechanisms and Autophagy) Immune and inflammatory systems Individual cell needs (Senescent, Stem cells) Waste management (Glycation, lipofuscin) Dr Kaufman explains her rating system for various longevity molecules and how to utilize these in your protocols. We also discuss many of the supplements and adjuvants that Dr Kaufmann recommends for each of these tenets and we look at other cutting edge regenerative modalities like Exosomes.  Stem cells are fantastic in terms of longevity, however there are limitations. Exogenous stem cells are currently not available in this country. Meanwhile, autologous stem cells are only as healthy as the person they which they come. Exosomes, on the other hand, constitute up to 80% of the benefits seen with stem cells and are available through Dr Kaufmann in the United States at least,  in addition to being less expensive. I highly recommend Dr Kaufman's books, these are major reference book that will serve those looking to optimise their health, performance and longevity.

Dr. Rolland Carlson, PhD, is Chief Executive Officer of Immunexpress, Inc. ( https://immunexpress.com/company-overview/ ), a Seattle-based molecular diagnostic company committed to improving outcomes for patients suspected of having sepsis. Immunexpress' FDA cleared SeptiCyte™ technology rapidly quantifies, directly from whole blood, specific molecular markers from the patient's own immune system – the 'host response'. SeptiCyte™ LAB, is the first of its kind in using the host immune system to differentiate systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis. Detecting the host's response to infection has the potential to differentiate infection earlier, faster and more accurately than finding the invading pathogen because it is independent of whether or not the pathogen is present in the sample. Dr. Carlson brings over 25 years of global commercial, business development, new product development and general management experience in biotechnology. Dr. Carlson most recently served as President and CEO of WaferGen Biosystems, genomic analysis company; prior to that he was President and CEO of Asuragen, a privately-held molecular diagnostic company; and prior to joining Asuragen, Dr. Carlson held increasingly senior positions at Abbott Laboratories over a 20-year period, including Vice President and General Manager of the Vysis molecular diagnostic business following its acquisition. In this role, he was wholly responsible for P&L; he tripled sales with a five-fold increase in profit; created and drove the commercialization strategy for UroVysion, one of the most successful oncology product introductions in the U.S. IVD market over the past 10 years. In previous positions, he was responsible for business development, licensing and strategic planning to establish new pharmaceutical and diagnostic platforms for the pediatric and women's health channels of the Ross Division of Abbott, and ran Abbott's global custom biopharmaceutical and specialty generics pharmaceutical business. Dr. Carlson graduated with Ph.D. in Botany and Plant Physiology from Southern Illinois University and was a post-doctoral research fellow at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Research Institute, Ft. Pierce Florida. Support the show

Welcome to the first episode of the Hot Potato Podcast: a series that grabs the burning issue of climate change with both hands and asks how regenerative agriculture can help solve the problem. Our food supply is heavily reliant on industrial agriculture, but current intensive farming methods cannot be sustained in the long term. Techniques used to maximize food production are having a negative effect on climate, biodiversity and soil health. We need our food supply to be sustainable in the face of an ever-changing world. So, today, we are getting to the root of it all and asking: How can we farm without harm? Joining the discussion is Nicole Masters and Yves Leclerc. Nicole is an independent agroecologist, systems thinker, storyteller and educator. With over twenty years of practical and theoretical experience in regenerative agriculture, she knows a thing or two about soil health! Yves is a biologist and agronomist with a PhD in Plant Physiology and Biotechnology. In his role at McCain, he is accountable for managing the company's Smart and Sustainable Farming program and is responsible for establishing their network of 'Farms of the Future' - commercial farms that aim to demonstrate the environmental and economic benefits of Regenerative Agriculture.

On this episode of Free Range, host Mike Livermore is joined by Holly Doremus, a professor of environmental law at Berkeley and the co-director for the Berkeley Institute for Parks, People, and Diversity. Doremus has a interdisciplinary background with a PhD in Plant Physiology from Cornell in addition to her JD. For Doremus, one of the benefits of an interdisciplinary educational experience is that it has helped her to better understand what questions different disciplines are able to address and what questions they may not have thought to ask. In our approach to answering conservation questions, we need to reevaluate what our goals are in order to decide how to achieve them. At the start of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, crucial questions, including fundamental questions concerning the nature of a species, and our risk tolerance and willingness to commit social resources to conservation, were either not understood or were seen as better addressed later. A further contemporary challenge is that the ESA was not framed to protect the proportion of species that are at risk today. One consequence of the Anthropocene is an increasingly number of species under protection, which means greater limits on individual and commercial activity. Doremus believes that congressional intervention will become more common as the number of ESA controversies increases (6:44-23:34). Due to the tendency of politics to act as a set of competing performances, Congress is not the place we should start the conversation about reconsidering our conservation approach. Rather it should begin in academia, where crucial interdisciplinary discussions can happen. Academics can generate an updated consensus of the public's opinion on biological conservation (23:35-46:27). Even if conservation goals were agreed upon, there would still be many questions about how to achieve those goals. To what extent should humanity take the role of the world's gardeners? Who gets to decide what the garden looks like? How much control should we have over species in order to achieve our conservation goals? What are the obligations of the public to pay for the conservation that it wants? These are all complex political and scientific questions that will have to be answered in order to make legitimate progress in conserving the biological world (46:28-1:02:10).

Skin aging is a natural process that affects everyone as they grow older, however, there are several factors that can accelerate the aging process, including cellular degeneration. Our skin is composed of various types of cells, each playing a crucial role in maintaining its health and appearance. Understanding these cellular mechanisms can help us take steps to slow down the aging process and maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Dr. Sandra Kaufmann to discuss the cellular causes of skin aging, and her work in developing the Kaufmann protocol. We'll also cover why both internal and external care is necessary for optimizing skin health, and why mixing up your skincare can be beneficial for aging skin. Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last five years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Most recently, she was recognized as “Best in Medicine” by the American Health Council.What we discuss:[00:00] Dr. Sandra Kaufmann's work on cellular degeneration and aging can revolutionize skin care.[06:28] Using molecules to affect aging pathways is the key to longevity.[17:17] Improving skin health requires both internal and external care.[22:12] Lactoferrin can help block Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and clear them from the skin.[32:31] Mixing up skincare is important for aging skin[37:57] Hypoxic training can enhance mitochondrial function for high altitude climbing.[48:24] Starting a longevity company to provide access to preventive medicine[53:16] Tailored dosing strategy is important for longevity medicines[1:03:40] Hyaluronic acid is an important molecule for skin health.Key Takeaways:When it comes to achieving and maintaining healthy, radiant skin, it's essential to adopt a comprehensive approach that includes both internal and external care. While topical treatments like injectables and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapies can enhance skin appearance, internal care through supplements can play a pivotal role in protecting and repairing the skin from damage.As we age, our skin undergoes various changes and requires different approaches to maintain its health and vitality. One effective strategy for aging skin is to mix up your skincare routine. This involves incorporating a range of products and techniques to address different concerns and adapt to the changing needs of your skin.Addressing skin concerns like creepiness requires a combination of internal and external approaches. However, in order to stimulate collagen, it is important to provide the necessary nutrients for fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production.

Like last week, we are going to revisit one of the top two interviews from 2022. This conversation was with my most (personally) anticipated interview, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann. I fell in love with her first anti-aging book from several years ago and then fell in love again when she released her newest book this summer. She is a highly-respected expert in the longevity community and she didn't disappoint in this interview. Enjoy learning from Dr. Kaufmann... The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants —  topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy! Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions.   This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books. They are simply amazing resources of anti-aging/longevity information. As always, light up your health! - Dr. Mike Belkowski & Dr. Sandra Kaufmann discuss the following: Her reasoning for jumping into anti-aging and longevity RAADfest - October 2022 in San Diego Supplements vs. adjuvants How people confuse deficiency with longevity Bioavailability and resveratrol  Bringing natural remedies back into the light The five basic agents of the Panacea Astaxanthin and its benefits for free radical scavenging The blood-brain barrier Nicotinamide and why it's crucially important for longevity Anti-inflammatories for longevity Glycation Eye health and vision Carnosine eyedrops Eye health and red light therapy Goggles vs. no goggles with red light therapy Supplements and adjuvants she is most excited about Spermidine and how it prevents DNA damage The mitochondrial transition permiability pore Fisetin for longevity Senescent cells (zombie cells) Metformin vs. berberine Glycation and how to defeat it How her diet doesn't affect her good lab results Her anti-aging and longevity regiment Skin health UV exposure to the skin Starting treatments earlier vs. later Micronutrient deficiencies and getting older Newfound discoveries - Watch this episode on YouTube - Where to Learn More From & About Dr. Sandra Kaufmann:   Website: KaufmannProtocol.com   Instagram: @KaufmannAntiAging   - Books written by Dr. Sandra Kaufmann:   Aging Solutions (2022)   The Kaufmann Protocol (2017)   - Check out the Kindle version of Red Light Therapy Treatment Protocols eBook, 4th Edition - To learn more about red light therapy and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Instagram YouTube

Researchers find Cordyceps used in traditional medicine can fight cancer Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, October 23, 2022 Chinese scientists have found evidence that a fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine widely sought by the public for its healing powers, also carries anti-cancer benefits. The scientists found there was an interaction between two anti-cancer compounds in the fungus Cordyceps militaris. The first, cordycepin, was noted in Cordyceps militaris in 1950, but how it interacted remained unknown. The second, pentostatin, was first identified from a bacterium and was developed as a commercial drug to treat leukemia and other cancers in the 1990s. “For the first time, we decoded the biosynthesis mechanism of cordycepin in the fungus, and during the research we unexpectedly discovered pentostatin,” said Wang Chengshu, head of the research team at the Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, a branch of the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “These two compounds coexist in fungal cells in the form of a protector and protege – that is to say, cordycepin is synthesized with the coupled production of pentostatin to protect the stability of the former,” he said. Their research also showed that the fungus initiates a detoxification process when the cordycepin in the body reaches an excessively high level, which can be toxic. Cordyceps fungi are popular in China for their widely believed immunity-enhancing and energy-strengthening properties. Their uses in medical treatment date to the Compendium of Materia Medica, a book widely deemed the encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine written in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Omega-3 fatty acid could boost IQ for preterm babies South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, October 27, 2022 New research from SAHMRI has found a link between the omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and increased IQ among children born prematurely. Preterm children are more likely to have lower IQ scores and cognitive impairments compared with term-born children. Dr. Jacqueline Gould, who led the study now published in the New England Journal of Medicine, says infants born at the earliest gestations are deprived of the natural supply of DHA that normally builds up in the brain during the last trimester of pregnancy. “These babies have low concentrations of DHA in their brain tissue, which may contribute to poorer cognitive outcomes,” Dr. Gould said. The study followed 323 infants born before 29 weeks' gestation, who were given 60mg of DHA/kg per day via enteral or control tube feeding. They were compared with 333 children in the control group, who received an emulsion with no DHA. At five years old, children in both groups underwent the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI) IQ test. “On average, those in the DHA group scored 3.5 points higher on the IQ scale than those in the control group,” Dr. Gould said. “These very promising results suggest DHA has the potential to improve cognitive performance when administered via emulsion for infants born before 29 weeks' gestation.” Crossword puzzles beat computer video games in slowing memory loss Columbia University Irving Medical Center & Duke University, October 27, 2022 A new study by researchers from Columbia University and Duke University published in the journal NEJM Evidence shows that doing crossword puzzles has an advantage over computer video games for memory functioning in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. In a randomized, controlled trial, led by D.P. Devanand, MD, professor of psychiatry and neurology at Columbia, with Murali Doraiswamy, MD, professor of psychiatry and medicine at Duke, researchers determined that participants (average age 71) trained in doing web-based crossword puzzles demonstrated greater cognitive improvement than those who were trained on cognitive video games. “This is the first study to document both short-term and longer-term benefits for home-based crossword puzzles training compared to another intervention,” said Dr. Devanand, who oversees brain aging and mental health research at Columbia. “The results are important in light of difficulty in showing improvement with interventions in mild cognitive impairment.” To conduct their study, researchers at Columbia and Duke randomly assigned 107 participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at the two different sites to either crossword puzzles training or cognitive games training with intensive training for 12 weeks followed by booster sessions up to 78 weeks. Both interventions were delivered via a computerized platform with weekly compliance monitoring. The most striking findings of the trial were: Crossword puzzles were superior to cognitive games on the primary cognitive outcome measure, ADAS-Cog, at both 12 weeks and 78 weeks. Crossword puzzles were superior on FAQ, a measure of daily functioning, at 78 weeks. Crossword puzzles were superior for participants at a later disease stage but both forms of training were equally effective in an earlier stage. Brain shrinkage (measured with MRI) was less for crossword puzzles at 78 weeks. “The benefits were seen not only in cognition but also in daily activities with indications of brain shrinkage on MRI that suggests that the effects are clinically meaningful,” Dr. Devanand said. The study also highlights the importance of engagement. Based on remote electronic monitoring of computer use, participants at a later stage of impairment may have better engaged with the more familiar crossword puzzles than with computerized cognitive games. Atherosclerosis, ED, low vitamin D levels linked Guizhou Medical University (China), October 24 2022. A study published in Frontiers in Endocrinology evaluated the associations between lower serum levels of vitamin D, erectile dysfunction (ED) and an increased risk of atherosclerosis. The investigation included 163 men aged 30 to 60 years who received physical examinations at the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and other factors. Carotid intima-media thickness, an indicator of atherosclerosis in the carotid arteries, was measured using ultrasound. International index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5) scores were graded as mild, moderate or severe according to ED severity. Thirty-nine participants whose IIEF-5 scores indicated no ED served as control subjects. Serum vitamin D levels were lower and carotid intima-media thickness values were higher among men with moderate and severe ED compared to the control group. Carotid intima-media thickness was significantly higher among men with severe ED compared with those who had mild ED. After adjustment, significant correlations were found between IIEF-5 scores, carotid intima-media thickness and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D. In their discussion, authors Jun-hao Zhang of Soochow University and colleagues remarked that vitamin D may affect erectile function via its interaction with the endothelial cells of the corpora cavernosa, which is the spongy tissue within the penis that fills with blood during an erection. Vitamin D may affect the production and release by endothelial cells of nitric oxide, a compound that helps relax the blood vessels, thereby improving erectile function. The vitamin may also help decrease damage to endothelial cell function caused by oxidative stress. “Serum vitamin D level should be analyzed in men with ED, especially in patients with vasculogenic ED, and supplementation is recommended for those who were with vitamin D deficiency,” the authors wrote. Carnitine supplementation could improve cold tolerance and more University of Utah, October 23 2022 Cell Metabolism reported research findings from the University of Utah School of Medicine that reveal a role for carnitine in the body's response to cold temperatures. “Cold-induced thermogenesis is an energy-demanding process that protects endotherms against a reduction in ambient temperature,” Judith Simcox, PhD, and colleagues write. “We found that the liver undergoes a metabolic switch to provide fuel for brown fat thermogenesis by producing acylcarnitines.” “Cold stimulates white adipocytes to release free fatty acids that activate the nuclear receptor HNF4α, which is required for acylcarnitine production in the liver and adaptive thermogenesis,” they continue. “Once in circulation, acylcarnitines are transported to brown adipose tissue, while uptake into white adipose tissue and liver is blocked.” Acylcarnitines are fatty acyl esters of L-carnitine that were found to increase in young mice during cold adaptation. “It was surprising to see acylcarnitines in the bloodstream,” Dr Simcox remarked. With aging comes a decline in the ability to adapt to cold exposure. In the current study, researchers found that a single dose of L-carnitine or palmitoylcarnitine improved aging-related cold sensitivity in mice. Because activating cold adaptation burns calories, improving the process be useful for more than the ability to tolerate cold environments. Feeling chirpy: Being around birds is linked to lasting mental health benefits King's College London, October 27, 2022 New research from King's College London has found that seeing or hearing birds is associated with an improvement in mental well-being that can last up to eight hours. This improvement was also evident in people with a diagnosis of depression—the most common mental illness worldwide—indicating the potential role of birdlife in helping those with mental health conditions. Lead author Ryan Hammoud, Research Assistant at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), King's College London, said: “There is growing evidence on the mental health benefits of being around nature and we intuitively think that the presence of birdsong and birds would help lift our mood. However, there is little research that has actually investigated the impact of birds on mental health in real-time and in a real environment. The study took place with 1,292 participants completing 26,856 assessments. Participants were recruited worldwide. The app asked participants three times a day whether they could see or hear birds, followed by questions on mental well-being to enable researchers to establish an association between the two and to estimate how long this association lasted. Researchers showed that the links between birds and mental well-being were not explained by co-occurring environmental factors such the presence of trees, plants, or waterways. Our study provides an evidence base for creating and supporting biodiverse spaces that harbor birdlife, since this is strongly linked with our mental health. In addition, the findings support the implementation of measures to increase opportunities for people to come across birdlife, particularly for those living with mental health conditions such as depression.”

The author of one of my all-time favorite books recently released her second book, which was like Christmas coming early for me! Luckily, I had also met her before at an anti-aging conference and we have stayed in touch throughout the years. So I knew I had to Dr. Sandra Kaufmann on The Red Light Report for some amazing conversation about anti-aging and longevity strategies, especially as it relates to supplements and adjuvants —  topics that she is considered a bonafide expert. In her newest book, Aging Solutions, Dr. Kaufmann covers 28 different agents that she has found to be the most efficacious and backed by science, according to her rigorous research. We cover many agents from both of her books along with Dr. Kaufmann's skincare routine and other longevity hacks she as implemented over the years, including red light therapy!Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. She has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital for 9 years, a nationally recognized center of excellence.Dr. Kaufmann's avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The project represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging. She has now released two books on longevity: The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop it, and just recently in 2022, Aging Solutions. This conversation could have easily gone on for hours and hours, as Dr. Kaufmann is a wealth of knowledge in some of my favorite topics and is fun to listen and learn from. I know you will all enjoy learning from her like I did and, if so, I highly recommend you check out BOTH of her books.

Today's guest is one of my favorite….and based on your feedback from our first interview on brain health, your favorite too. Dr. Sandy Kaufmann is THE coolest expert on anti-aging and someone who just “gets us” women who are over 50. Because she is one of us. She doesn't accept ageist stereotypes and is carving out her own path to aging. She literally wrote the book on it, called the Kaufmann Protocol – Why We Age and How To Stop it. In that book she gave such an easy to follow, informative and entertaining look at the aging process and then explained the protocol she came up with using molecular agents (a.k.a. supplements) to slow this process down. And now a new book is coming out called The Kaufmann Protocol – Aging Solutions where she covers 28 brand new agents that you probably have never heard of and how to use them in your aging protocol to reverse and slow aging. Dr. Kaufmann started her career in the field of cellular biology. She got her Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. And then she turned to medicine, and got a medical Degree at the University of Maryland. And for the last six years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida. Everyone in the biohacking world knows Dr. Kaufmann and outside of this world she's been recognized as “Best in Medicine” by the American Health Council. I first heard about Dr. Kaufmann on the Ben Greenfield Podcast and was so blown away by what I heard… I had to reach out to her. Fortunately, she replied to my email and has been incredibly generous with her time. I love her book, I love her app and use it all as a reference with my clients and community. I just love Dr. Kaufmann and all that she puts out for us.

We've been programmed to believe that age is inevitable, and that with age, comes an inevitable slowing down…but that's not necessarily the case. The truth is, we have more power over our abilities than we even realize, and if we can tap into that power, even age can't stop us from living truly full lives. The question is, how do we tap into that power? In this episode, founder of The Kaufman Anti-aging Institute, Dr Sandra Kaufmann gives a crash course on longevity.   "There's a difference between how long you live and how well you live." -Dr Sandra Kaufmann   Three Curiosity-Driven Takeaways  Why we need to change the way we think about longevityIs longevity purely living longer, or is there more to it than that?

Controlled environment growers have been inundated with advancements in light technology and new fixtures over the past decade. Many growers have since installed supplemental light or artificial light in their greenhouse or warehouse. Installing the fixtures and paying the energy bill is only a small piece of what a grower must do to get the most return on their lighting investment.  That's why we had Marc van Iersel, PhD onto the #LeadersTalkCrops series of CropTalk podcast. Marc shares a whole mess of insights like.. - Plant physiologist should be the ones to define PAR and engineers should follow their lead when creating lighting fixtures. - Far red light does not get the credit it deserves - He is on a campaign to redefine Photosynthetic Active Radiation to 400nm to 750nm - Adding supplemental CO2 when running supplemental lights will be an enormous benefit for your crop and will give you faster ROI on the fixtures. - Dimming controllers for supplemental light are something you've got to consider And, much more..

Celebrity longevity expert Dr. Sandra Kaufmann breaks down the science on brain health and shares the evidence based protocol she founded using just 3 different supplements to improve neural plasticity over time. Dr. Kaufmann has no vested interest in selling supplements and has embarked on her own journey into longevity purely as a hobby. After reading hundreds of studies, she has hacked which agents support a longer healthier life and can actually do damage control for those of us who are not perfect in our diet and lifestyle. As someone passionate about brain health, Dr. Kaufmann is one of my favorite podcast guests as she is so transparent and explains the science in such a comprehensive manner. In this episode you will learn not only about 3 amazing supplements that are prophylactic for our brains, but also some amazing agents we can use to literally "have our cake and eat it too" as well as a great protocol for protecting or even reversing our poor vision. Dr. Kaufmann is the author and creator of the Kaufmann Protocol, a scientifically organized methodology to decelerate the aging process. This includes an amazing book called The Kaufmann Protocol: Why We Age and How to Stop It., a comprehensive website and even the coolest app (My Protocol in the Apple Store) we can all use to help us age slower. Dr. Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master's Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland. For the last five years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Most recently, she was recognized as “Best in Medicine” by the American Health Council. Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging began many years ago as an intense hobby. Using her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus.

In this Podcast Joe and Nick interview Dr. Gary Stutte about growing food in space.During the past ten years, Dr. Gary Stutte has worked at Kennedy Space Center in Dynamac's plant Research Group to determine the feasibility of using plants as bioregenerative life support systems for long duration space missions. Dr. Stutte is the principal investigator for several spaceflight experiments designed to grow plants in microgravity. One of these is the Photosynthesis Experiment System Testing Operation (PESTO) experiment, the first plant science experiment to be conducted aboard the International Space Station once it is delivered by the crew of STS-110. Designed by KSC, the PESTO experiment will study whether wheat will produce oxygen through photosynthesis and purify water through transpiration at the same rates as on Earth. The experiment could have a major impact on plans for future long-duration spaceflight, and will be followed by additional experiments aboard ISS. Although he was born in Oklahoma, Dr. Stutte considers Fayetteville, Arkansas his home. He attended the University of Arkansas for two years in the Horticultural Food Sciences Program, finishing his BS degree in Biology at the Oklahoma State University. Dr. Stutte has a Masters Degree in Horticulture for the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from the University of California, Davis.More about Gary Stutte:Website: http://www.synrge.comMore about Joe Swartz:Website: https://amhydro.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HydroConsultantMore about Nick Greens: Website: https://www.nickgreens.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/InfoGreensSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/nickgreens)

Well, this week we are venturing into the "hot button" topic of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).  The technology for genetic engineering is developing in leaps and bounds.  In fact, how rapidly it is developing completely blind sided us.  So we thought a little bit of a discussion about GMOs in the floriculture industry was in order.  You can already buy genetically engineered carnations (Moon Series) and a genetically engineered rose (Applause).  In this episode we explain (very briefly) some of the technologies, and discuss implications, and our opinions of course;) We looked at a lot of papers and articles- some of the best are listed below- warning some of what you may read may seriously upset you.  Baranski, R. , Magdalena Klimek-Chodacka, Aneta Lukasiewicz. 2019.

Dewey Scientific with Dr. Jordan Zager, Co-Founder / CEO. Dr. Zager is an expert in natural product biosynthesis and chemical analysis of cannabis resin compounds. Dr Zager earned his PhD from Washington State University, where his research set the stage for studying the regulatory events governing gene expression in cannabis and their effect on the biosynthesis of trichome-bound cannabinoids and terpenoids. Early in his career, Jordan set his sights on aggressively applying modern scientific methods to the cannabis industry and to bring cultivators the tools to become exceptional. Dewey Scientific, an agritech innovation company that pioneers the research and development of quality and consistent cannabis, announces its founders’ recent research paper, published by Plant Physiology, is now in the top five percent of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric. Dr. Zager recently presented his findings from the paper, Gene Networks Underlying Cannabinoid and Terpenoid Accumulation in Cannabis at the Cannabis Science Conference in Portland, Oregon. The paper is co-authored by Chief Science Officer Dr. Mark Lange and others. The research analyzed genetic sequences from nine commercial cannabis strains. Drs. Lange and Zager discovered distinct gene networks responsible for individual strain's production of cannabinoid and terpene resins. These types of compounds are underlying the plant's medicinal and recreational benefits, along with accounting for its smell and taste. Dewey Scientific provides advanced scientific services to cannabis cultivators to increase crop resilience, productivity and robustness. Additionally, the Pullman, Washington agritech is developing its IP portfolio by advancing methods in tissue culture micropropagation, while leveraging genetic markers and meaningful biological data to guide cannabis breeding decisions. Dewey Scientific is the only cannabis agritech in Washington state founded by PhD plant biologists.

Dr. Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical degree at the University of Maryland and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last seven years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence.  Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilize- ing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology, and physiology, this hobby has now become the main focus. The Kaufmann Protocol represents years of non-clinical research leading to the first-ever, comprehensive theory of aging, complete with an explanation of why we age and the tools to decelerate the process.  Dr. Kaufmann has lectured at Raad Fest, People Unlimited, The Church of Perpetual Life and can be heard on talk radio as well as innumerable podcasts such as Ben Greenfield and Bulletproof podcasts.  The interview: Sandra shares a little bit about herself admitting she doesn't have the best diet but really kicks butt exercising. She started off as a cell biologist but dove into antiaging and found she can decelerate cellular aging. Sandra shares molecular ways to cheat the system. She loves rock climbing Dr. Kaufmann’s non-negotiable antiaging practices. She shares the 7 ways we age. Check them out here: https://www.kaufmannprotocol.com/7-tenets  Dr. Kaufmann’s five agents she takes that helps with the 7 tenants of aging. Check out her page with all agents and dosages: https://www.kaufmannprotocol.com/doses-links-2 NICOTINAMIDE: General Information Nicotinamide is made naturally in the body, beginning with the amino acid tryptophan. Eight steps later, it is converted into our usable substance, NAD or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. There is also a salvage pathway which is more efficient. It does four things in the body. It helps make energy, What does NAD do? It is crucial for cellular activity. Specifically, it does the following: 1) In mitochondria, it is an essential part of the electron transport chain which is necessary to produce cellular energy.  2) It is necessary for DNA repair. The molecule itself gets disassembled, and its pieces are used as replacement parts in the actual DNA. 3) It provides communication between the nucleus and mitochondria 4) It acts as a necessary Co-factor for the sirtuin family 12:01 We have never eaten well. There has never been a golden age of eating. So supplementing can give us some edge and be a great thing.  Let’s talk Metformin. (WWW.QUALYTUDE.COM to get Metformin) Metformin does so many amazing things General Information on Metformin: Earlier use of the base plant, Galega officinalis or the French Lilac, was documented in Medieval Europe as an herbal remedy for diabetic symptoms. Metformin was officially discovered in 1922. Human studies didn't begin until the 1950s, however. It was then that the French physician Jean Sterne introduced the substance to her countrymen as a prescription medication in 1957. The compound debuted in the United States in 1995. Presently, up to 150 million people are on the agent. Interest in the medication as an anti-aging agent was peaked by a study released in 2014.  Type 2 diabetics on either metformin or sulfuronureas (a different type of glucose controlling agent) were retrospectively compared with non-diabetics on neither of these drugs. Comparing 150,000 people, the type 2 diabetics on metformin had higher survivability. Let me rephrase…The diabetics did better than non-diabetics.  In fact, among patients in their 70’s, mortality was reduced by 15% in the metformin group. Be aware you may need more amino’s and B vitamins when taking Metformin! Two personal questions Dr. Kaufmann answered. She shared she is in talks with QVC to bring her protocols to people in an easy and cost-effective way.  Also, anti-aging starts at the cellular level. Botox and injections are just spackle.

Today is National Pumpkin Seed Day. Pumpkin seeds, also known as pepitas, are native to the Americas. They were discovered by archaeologists in Mexico in caves that date back to 7,000 B.C. Today, China produces more pumpkins and pumpkin seeds than any other country.  Pumpkin seeds are loaded with protein; a single cup provides 8-10 grams of protein. They are packed with nutrients and they are overall very good for your health.  Next time you are whipping up a batch of protein bites; don't forget pumpkin seeds. Just mix up dates, whole nuts, chia seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, almonds, pumpkin seeds, 1tsp cacao bio powder, 1tsp peanut butter, a handful of raisins and dried cranberries. Then press the mixture into a pan and slice into bars. Couldn't be simpler.     Brevities #OTD  Today is the birthday of the German botanist known as the Father of Plant Physiology, Julius von Sachs, who was born on this day in 1832.   In the 1860's, Sachs tested adding a variety of nutrients to plants growing in water. He was trying to determine what plants need to live. It was early, early efforts on modern day hydroponics. In 1864, Sachs determined that blue light is the most important color for inducing phototropism in plants. Plants are generally blind to other colors; which is why you don't see plants bending toward the lamps inside your house; unless you are using grow-lights!   In 1868, Sachs became Head of the botanical institute at Würzburg University.  Sachs was a good friend of Frank Darwin. When Darwin needed a lab to conduct his experiments plants of growing toward light, he naturally used the world-class lab of his friend, Julius von Sachs, at Würzburg U.   Sachs himself was studying how plants process light. He correctly identified that starch was a product of the sunlight process known as photosynthesis. He proved that chlorophyll in chloroplast is involved in photosynthesis. Sachs is responsible for identifying structures like the organelle and chloroplasts.    Sachs used some ingenuity helped him come up with things like planter boxes with one glass side so that he could better understand the formation of roots. Using a magnifying glass, he could discern the development of root hairs and cellular protrusions.          #OTD  On this day in 1836, the HMS Beagle returned to England after a five year voyage around the world.  It was a revelatory trip for ship’s naturalist, Charles Darwin, who found the building blocks to his evolutionary theory in the many fossils and diverse species he discovered on his excursions. It would be another 23 years before he published the Origin of Species. Often, Darwin is depicted on the Beagle as an old man; but he was just 22 when he sailed away and still a young 27 when he returned with boxes full of specimens and a brain swirling with new ideas.       #OTD  Today is the 165th birthday of the Father of Town Planning and a botanist, Patrick Geddes, who was born on this day in 1854. Geddes accomplished much during his lifetime, despite being notoriously disorganized and easily distracted. In addition to his work in planning, Geddes was an ardent botanist and an environmentalist. People often forget that Geddes was trained most in the subjects of biology and botany; it was through that living scientific lens that he was first inclined to view the world. Geddes always conceded an undeniable truth in his work; nature is ever-changing and humans need to be in nature. Geddes had a profound appreciation and reverence for life. Like any gardener; he saw value in beauty. Geddes wrote: "No one who studies animate nature can get past the fact of beauty. It is as real in its own way as the force of gravity." When it came to planning towns, Geddes dismissed modernist plans for creating what he called "soulless suburbs and concrete slums". Instead, the ever-practical Geddes bought land in Edinburgh and created communities interwoven into the landscape. Bare spots on plans were turned into spaces for gardens. In 1918, Geddes delivered a farewell lecture to his students at Dundee. Here's is a little excerpt from this powerful speech: "How many people think twice about a leaf? Yet the leaf is the chief product and phenomenon of life. This is a green world.... and all dependent upon the leaves... The world is mainly a vast leaf-colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, ... and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests.   ...Growth seems slow... and people are all out for immediate results...  A garden takes years and years to grow – ideas also take time to grow, and while a sower knows when his corn will ripen, the sowing of ideas is, as yet, a far less certain affair.   Star-wonder, stone and spark wonder, life-wonder, folk-wonder, .... To appreciate sunset and sunrise, moon and stars, the wonders of the winds, clouds and rain, the beauty of woods and fields – here are the beginnings of natural sciences.   ...[And] we must cease to think merely in terms of separated departments and faculties... So - with art inspiring industry, .... the Tree of Life thus comes into view.       #OTD   Today is the birthday of Martha Brookes Hutcheson who was born on this day in 1871. When she was born, Landscape Architecture was a babe as well; being a newly established professional field.   Two decades later, in 1902, when Martha Brooks Hutcheson joined the ranks of the profession after graduating from MIT, she became one of America’s first professional female landscape architects.   Hutcheson wrote a book called "The Spirit of the Garden" (a complete copy is available online for free here). In the book, Hutcheson poured all of her cultivated expertise; it became an instant garden classic. Hutcheson wanted Landscape Architecture concepts to be available to everyone; not just the wealthy. And, she wanted plants and trees to grace every living space; in rural areas, cities, and especially the areas surrounding schools.    For half a century - until 1959, Hutcheson and her husband, William, lived at Merchiston farm. There are many native plants and water is a vital landscape element.    It was Martha Brookes Hutcheson, who said:   “An insight into ecology enables us to recognize plants as living things - with laws governing their needs in their associations. Without this, we recognize plants only as a florist might who fills his windows with lavish displays.”   Hutcheson's personal interest in ecological systems, led her to dam a small stream on her farm in order to create a cow pond which later became a round swimming pond in the center of her garden. She and her visitors swam in the pond and shared it with wildlife.   Despite her struggles to break down barriers for her profession and for women, Hutcheson found comfort, "tranquility and intense personal calm" in her gardens. She wrote:   "So, let us all have gardens, for we shall be but following in the footsteps of those past ages, and expressing the love of gardens that has been in our hearts for generations."         Unearthed Words Today is the birthday of the American poet, Wallace Stevens, who was born on this day on this day in 1879.  Stevens grew up to be an insurance agent in Hartford, Connecticut and he lived across the street from Elizabeth Park which contains one of the three largest rose gardens in the country on 102 acres of incredible beauty. You can tell from much of his poetry that Stevens was a lover of nature and gardens. Thus, an insurance man by day and a poet by night, Wallace Stevens wrote all of the following: “Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.” “Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers.” "Moisture and heat have swollen the garden into a slum of bloom." “I certainly do not exist from nine to six, when I am at the office.”         Today's book recommendation: Heirloom Vegetable Gardening by William Woys Weaver This is an updated edition of the classic has been improved throughout with growing zones, advice, and new plant entries. Now, instead of line art, there is lush, full-color photography.  At the heart of this book are the heirlooms; the living history of gardens and kitchens of our past. For many people, heirlooms are stories. They are gifts; something special to pass down through the generations. For instance, one of the heirlooms I have fallen head over heels for, is the Nanticoke Winter Pumpkin. Imagine a pumpkin almost the color of a robin's egg with crêpey looking blisters over the skin and you have something extra special from your garden for Autumn. And, that's only a taste of the marvelous plants and produce featured in this wonder new edition. It's an heirloom encyclopedia and it's a keeper.         Today's Garden Chore Check your rhubarb to see if you want to make a quick last-minute division. I just did this after another visit to the cabin. I decided it would be lovely to walk out back by the lake in the early morning and cut some stalks for strawberry rhubarb muffins for a weekend brunch or for some rhubarb bars to enjoy with a cup of coffee. The point is, rhubarb can handle a division even though it's early October. Welcome to lake life rhubarb!       Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart I ran across two old gems for you today. The first one is a saying that was published on this day in 1940 in The Phoenix Star   at the beginning of a little bedtime story called "What the Old Naturalist Told". I thought it was so lovely and I couldn't find it anywhere on line - so here it is (short and sweet):  A story's writ on every stone, In every stick and leaf and bone. ~ Old Mother Nature  The second one is from the Chicago Tribune on this day in 1875. It was a little article, fittingly called "Sparks of Science." "Plants are tender as little children, and suffer quickly from any irregularity of diet and habit. Above all, they must not be kept awake late at night by bright gaslights burning around them. They, like human beings, need rest and sleep, and, when Nature puts out her great light with the dotting of the sun, it is time for them close their eyes and fold their leaves; or, if they do not all actually do this, they must, at least, enjoy the opportunity darkness affords ... How often the question is asked of the lady who has flourishing plants in her window: "How do you manage to make them look so well ?" "I don't know.’’ is the reply; "I only do what others do,” and yet she is inwardly conscious that it is the love animating her care of them that inspires their thrifty growth."       Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Hoy en El Viajero de la Ciencia… Os hablamos del Asalto al Área 51, de las conclusiones de la Cumbre de Acción del Clima de la ONU con la intervención de Greta Thunberg en la Sede de Naciones Unidas en Nueva York. Además, nos acercamos a la Noche Europea de los Investigadores 2019 a la que se unirán 370 ciudades europeas de forma simultánea…. TITULAR 1: Nuevas imágenes de la sustancia que se encontró en la Luna Una sustancia misteriosa, de apariencia gelatinosa y brillante, con un color y textura diferente al resto del material que encontró el róver Yutu-2, parte de la misión china Chang'e 4 que visita la cara oculta de la Luna, llamó la atención de los científicos hace más de un mes. Los nuevos datos siguen sin demostrar cuál es el origen exacto de este material. TITULAR 2: Una sustancia presente en el té verde para luchar contra las superbacterias Se trata de un antioxidante que, en combinación con el antibiótico, mejora sus efectos, evitando las resistencias. Para la realización de este estudio, sus autores tomaron varios cultivos bacterianos, comprobando que los que contenían té verde contaban con un aumento significativo en la eliminación de bacterias. TITULAR 3: Alemania dejará de usar carbón para producir electricidad en 2038 Alemania anunció que está comprometida a terminar con su dependencia del carbón. En el marco de la Cumbre sobre la Acción Climática, la canciller Angela Merkel dijo que eliminará la producción de electricidad por carbón en 2038. Una declaración que llega después de que Merkel anunciara un plan de política climática de 60.000 millones de dólares que tiene como fin la reducción de gases de efecto invernadero para 2030. TITULAR 4: Hallan una nueva función en una proteína de las plantas clave para desarrollar cultivos tolerantes a la sequía Investigadores de la Universitad Politécnica de Valencia y de la Universidad de Málaga han descubierto una nueva función en una proteína de las plantas –la BAG4. En su estudio publicado en la revista "Plant Physiology" demuestran que esta proteína participa en la apertura de los los poros situados en la hoja y por donde la planta transpira. Hallazgo que resulta de especial relevancia para el desarrollo de cultivos más resistentes a condiciones de sequía. TITULAR 5: Los bebés de la Edad de Bronce eran alimentados con biberón Un equipo de la británica Universidad de Bristol ha descubierto las primeras pruebas de que los bebés prehistóricos fueron alimentados con leche animal utilizando vasijas de arcilla con boquilla en forma de pezón. Estos vasos encontrados en en tumbas infantiles aparecen por primera vez en Europa en el Neolítico, alrededor del año 5.000 a.C., y son más comunes a lo largo de las edades del Bronce y el Hierro. La investigación ha sido publicada en la revista "Nature". TITULAR 6: El posible fin del uso de las inyecciones. Investigadores de Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto en Argentina han hallado una molécula que, al disolverse en agua, produce unas vesículas capaces de transportar cualquier tipo de medicamentos por vía oral o a través de la piel mediante parches. Estas vesículas conservan inalterables los fármacos que llevan, los protegen de los jugos gástricos y los depositan en las células del organismo. Las pruebas realizadas hasta ahora, con insulina y un antitumoral, en en ratones, han tenido resultados exitosos.

I recently read the book . It is the first comprehensive approach to aging that tackles why we age, and then recommends a strategic, scientific formulation to decelerate the process. The book brings practical information to everyday people, and takes the science of aging out of the laboratory and into the real world. The first half of The Kaufmann Protocol discusses aging on a cellular level, which separates it from all other anti-aging fads. We age because our cells age and it is this understanding that allows the protocol to combat aging for people from all walks of life. This is presented in terms of the seven tenets, or categories, of aging which comprise topics such as DNA alterations, mitochondrial energy, and aging pathways. These are explained in both scientific and laymen terms, such that anyone can understand the process. A series of analogies paralleling the cell to a factory assist the reader in following the logic. The second half of the book reviews the top fifteen molecular agents that curb the aging process. Each agent is examined, discussed and then rated in terms of the seven categories, thus granting it a Kaufmann Rating number. This number is essentially a snapshot of its anti-aging properties, and allows the reader to create a regimen to fit their personal needs. Alternatively, the book suggests the most common protocol, the PANACEA, which is a combination of five molecular agents. This regimen is fantastic for most people over the age of 40, but it certainly is not comprehensive. With the tools and knowledge presented in this book, the reader can determine what is best for them as individuals. This book is also meant to be a complimentary addition to the which will allow the user to track their progress and stay up to date with all of the new scientific findings that will continue to make aging truly optional. Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology. For the last seven years she has been the Chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, a nationally recognized center of excellence. Her avid interest in the science of anti-aging begun many years ago as an intense hobby. Utilizing her knowledge in cell biology, human pharmacology and physiology, this hobby has now become a main focus. The Kaufmann Protocol represents years of non-clinical research leading the first ever, comprehensive theory of aging, complete with an explanation of why we age and the tools to decelerate the process. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Dr. Kaufmann, a pediatrician, became interested in longevity and anti-aging... She became interested in it simply because she wanted to enjoy her life as long as possible After reading and researching, she realized there was no overarching theory, nor a comprehensive system on anti-aging and longevity Aubrey de Grey's -Dr. Kaufmann's 7 Tenets of aging... Information Systems (DNA) Cellular Energy (Mitochondria, NAD) Cellular Pathways (AMP Kinase and mTOR system) Quality Control (autophagy) Security System (Immune system) fails for 3 reasons: Unable to fight infection over time Cells become cancerous over time Upregulates systemic inflammation Work Force (Individual Cells) Short acting cells (few hours to a few days) Goldilocks cells (1-12 years) Cells that live forever Senescent vs. quiescent cells Quiescent is reversible, a state of repair Senescent is partially repaired; damaged but still of some use Waste Management (AGE's, lipofusion) -The numerical ratings system Dr. Kaufmann created based on the 7 Tenets of aging... Ratings are from 0-3 (0 being of no value, 3 being highly efficacious) Criteria to determine efficacy: Does it work in theory Does it work in a test tube Does it work in a small rodent lab Does it work in humans It gives people an educated guide to make decisions for themselves -How the app Dr. Kaufmann created helps people understand their genetics and longevity... Her work began as a hobby, yet more and more people came to her seeking a protocol; the app was created to help as many people as possible The app experience Starts out with a quiz Asks if you want a standard protocol or if you want to build your own It follows you every day Rates exercise and foods -The most overhyped yet least effective ingredients, as well as the most effective... The least effective Vitamin E; astaxanthin and delphinidin are more potent alternatives Co enzyme Q Fish oils Use  and  for superb vision The most effective: -Pterostilbene: Why is it so great?... Epigenetic modifier Very strong free radical scavenger Increases activity of endogenous antioxidants Activates your sirtuins Activates AMP kinase Caloric restriction mimetic (tells your body you're starving when you're not) Increases DNA repair mechanisms Increases autophagy Similar chemically but more potent than Resveratrol -Why Astaxanthin is the bomb... is Dr. Kaufmann's favorite brand (edible sunscreen) Increases exercise capacity It's not a supplement because there is no endogenous astaxanthin in our system -The magical attributes of Carnosine...

The AHRI research paper: Glyphosate resistance in Tridax procumbens via a novel EPSPS Thr-102-Ser substitution", by Li et al, was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2018. This paper is a collaborative effort with researchers coming from China to AHRI and with modelling from Alex Nyporko from Kiev, Ukraine. Lead author Dr Jingbo Li from Hunan University and second author Dr Qiong Peng were visiting fellows in AHRI supported by the China Scholarship Council. In this research, it was first established that Tridax, a global tropical weed species, evolved glyphosate resistance in the Ord River irrigation area in north-western Western Australia. This is the first report of glyphosate resistance in Tridax. The mechanism of glyphosate resistance was studied.  Various possible resistance mechanisms were NOT responsible for resistance (EPSPS gene amplification, different glyphosate uptake or translocation). In this glyphosate-resistant Tridax population, the glyphosate resistance mechanism is a mutation in the EPSPS gene causing substitution at amino acid 102 (Thr-102-Ser). This is the first time that a single amino acid substitution at Thr 102 has been reported to endow glyphosate resistance. Note that Tridax is a tetraploid and this Thr-102-Ser amino acid substitution, as expected in a tetraploid species,  confers only a modest level of glyphosate resistance. This finding of a resistance endowing amino acid substitution at amino acid 102 adds to the many reports of glyphosate resistance due to amino acid substitutions at Proline 106.  The 102 site is within the highly conserved and catalytically important EPSPS region. We have previously reported in Eleusine that a double mutation at amino acids 102 and 106, the TIPS mutations, confer high-level glyphosate resistance but at substantial fitness cost (Yu et al Plant Physiology 2015). Dr Heping Han explains the research in the podcast. You can also learn more about this research in AHRI insight: https://ahri.uwa.edu.au/rare-but-predictable-a-new-target-site-mutation-for-glyphosate-resistance-discovered/ Authors: Jingbo Li, Qiong Peng, Heping Han, Alex Nyporko, Tymofii Kulynych, Qin Yu, Stephen Powles.

Dr. Jerry Pollack is a pioneering water researcher whose work in structured water and cell biology has been described as being some of the most important research that will be conducted in the 21st century. His research creates a completely new paradigm of cell biology and nutrient absorption. He is recognized worldwide as a dynamic speaker and author, whose passion lies in plumbing the depths of natural truths. Dr. Pollack received the 1st Emoto Peace Prize and is a recipient of the University of Washington's highest honor, the Annual Faculty Lecturer Award. He is founding Editor-in-Chief of the research journal WATER and Director of the Institute for Venture Science. Dr. Pollack's (award-winning) books include The Fourth Phase of Water (2013), and Cells, Gels, and the Engines of Life (2001). Dr. Jerry Pollack maintains an active laboratory at the University of Washington in Seattle. In this episode, Jerry and I discuss How water moves to the top of a 100-yard tall redwood How nutrients are absorbed across cell membranes and plant roots The role of EZ water in moving nutrients through vascular tissue How plant roots can absorb complete compounds from the soil solution   Support For This Show & Helping You Grow This show is brought to you by AEA, leaders in regenerative agriculture since 2006.

Pollack - Highlights 4:50 - What is exclusion zone water? (EZ Water)   We all learned water had 3 phases, but the idea that water could have a phase between liquid and solid has been around for some time EZ water is between solid and liquid. Gel-like, almost like raw egg whites EZ water has a negative charge, unlike ordinary water Energy comes from infrared light EZ water is also called fourth phase water, ordered water, or structured water   13:10 - John strongly recommends reading two of Gerald’s books:     Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor     13:40 - How are nutrients and water transported inside a plant? How are nutrients absorbed by root systems? How does EZ water relate?   How a tube in water that allows water to continuously flow works in the same way that trees can transport water Energy is coming from light absorbed in the water will drive the flow of water How this same idea can apply to the cardiovascular system in the human body   27:45 - How is this related to nutrient mobility?   31:35 - Alternate mechanisms for nutrient absorption by cells   The assumption that the cell membrane is impermeable is questionable Why the idea of thousands of pumps and channels in the membrane doesn’t work The cell gets its electrical potential from the negatively charged water If there is no impermeable barrier, then substances can be absorbed by the cell   42:40 - Simplicity is the essence of science   45:50 - What is the limitation of what cells can absorb?   Substances could move in and out of the cell in transition areas of water to EZ water   49:25 - Water crisis in agricultural - soils that cannot hold water well anymore   Soils need charge distributions just right to build EZ water Water holding capacity is diminished when the soil is destroyed, directly related to the ability to make EZ water   54:30 - What is the question Gerald wishes he was asked?   The role of water in health - absolutely central. Cells cannot function properly unless properly hydrated The role of grounding in health and in its ability to convert water to EZ water Juicing to get EZ water from inside plants     Support For This Show & Helping You Grow This show is brought to you by AEA, leaders in regenerative agriculture since 2006.

Message from Ivan and Liz: We want to bring listeners attention to this blogpost on Biofortified. https://biofortified.org/2018/08/kevin-folta-coi/ We believe that evidence presented here contradicts several of Kevins assertions in the episode about ‘radical transparency’ and urge listeners to consider them while processing our conversation. ########## In this episode, Ivan and Liz talk to Kevin Folta, Professor and Chairman of the Horticultural Sciences Department at the University of Florida. Kevin’s research focuses on the functional genomics of small fruit crops, photomorphogenesis, and plant transformation. In addition to his many impressive publications, Kevin has been deeply involved in student education and communication of science to the public for many years. Unfortunately, his success in scientific communication has also made him a target. In 2015, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was filed to the University of Florida by US Right to Know as part of a campaign targeting the emails of public scientists who have spoken out in favor of biotechnology. In this emotional episode, Kevin describes the whirlwind of fake news and misinformation that ensued after the FOIA request. We talk about the spiral of silence these efforts intend to create and why it is absolutely vital to keep speaking up for science and for the scientists under attack.

Aquaponics is a syntergistic growing technique in which both fish and plants are grown together in the same system. The word aquaponics comes from the combination of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil in nutrient rich water). The speaker will argue that aquaponics solves many of the problems and environmental issues associated with aquaculture and hydroponics while retaining the benefits of both. Today's modern aquaculture systems are great at growing lots of fish in a small area, but produce lots of fish waste that must be dealt with. Hydroponics offers many benefits including the fact that it is more efficient than soil farming in both density, growth rate and can be done almost anywhere. But hydroponic systems use man-made chemicals as feed and must dump the nutrient solution periodically when salts or pathogens build up which is a waste management and pollution issue. The microorganisms in an aquaponic system turn the "waste" in aquaculture into a valuable input for hydroponics. This more natural input results in food that is healthier and much better tasting. The filtered water from the plants is then returned to the fish thereby closing the loop. This conserves water and avoids waste management issues and pollution. A myriad of beneficial microorganisms also create an environment that hinders the harmful organisms that are such a problem in hydroponics and aquaculture. Speaker:     Nick Savidov Dr. Nick Savidov is a Senior Research Scientist with Lethbridge College and is an internationally recognized expert in aquaponics. His improvements of aquaponics design include aerobic bio-digestion to recover nutrients and water, full automation, and more efficient oxygenating system. His system design produces no waste, solid or liquid, and it has been adopted for commercial use in Canada. Savidov was born and raised in Russia, where he received his Ph.D. degrees in Plant Physiology and Biochemistry at the Russian State Agricultural University in Moscow in 1991. He conducted his postdoctoral studies in Plant Biochemistry Lab at Ben-Gurion University in Israel before moving to Canada in 1997, where he continued his research in Plant Molecular Biology Lab at University of Alberta until 2001. Savidov assumed the position of leader of Research Greenhouse Crops Program at Crop Diversification Centre South with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development in 2001, where he worked on a variety of projects related to greenhouse production including aquaponics and biochar. Savidov has received many research grants in his scientific career and his work has gained national and international recognition. He has spoken at many conferences around the world and he is a member of several national and international committees.

The Alberta Biochar Initiative (ABI) was established on December 15, 2011 to develop and demonstrate technologies that will enable the large scale commercial deployment of biochar products and applications for the benefit of Albertans. Significant progress has been made including CFIA approval for Air Terra supplied biochar as a soil supplement, and the development of value added products including activated carbons from biochar. Biochar has particular benefits including the improvement of marginal soils, the reclamation of soils damaged by human activity, and its affinity to adsorb toxic organic extractive compounds from oil sands tailings water and the potential to capture mercury from coal fired power generating stations. It also sequesters carbon when applied to the soil. Alberta Innovates - Technology Futures (AITF) has been at the forefront of biochar research efforts and continues to lead the research and networking activities of the ABI after the successful conclusion of the WD funded project in June 2015. The speaker will provide an update on biochar research and the ABI. As a supplement to this presentation, Lethbridge College is providing a tour of their Aquaponics facility, which illustrates another opportunity to make the most of carbon dioxide produced and consumed by living organisms.
