(03:42): Hi Kyrin. Thank you so much for having me on today. I'm really excited to get to talk with you. (03:46): Yes, I'm very excited to talk with you. We both were in Atlanta probably at the same time, but I never had the pleasure of meeting you. We have colleagues and friends in common and I love what you're doing and what you offer women. So let's dive into talking about longevity for women and what's involved with that. But first I wanna start because you are also traditionally trained physician, right? Yes. If you could share with everyone kind of your journey from what I call corporate medicine Yes. To enlightened Medicine. What happened there? (04:24): Well, actually I think it was mostly patient driven. So the practice that I started, I had probably half and half men and women and several of the women came to me and said, Hey, will you write these bio identical hormones? And I said, I don't know what that is, but okay. So I wrote for their hormone therapy and the the compounding pharmacist called me up and said, Hey, we love that you're writing for these but you clearly don't know what you're doing. (04:52): . And they said, well, can we send you to a class? So they sent me to this little quick weekend course on biodentical hormones and it was really just a very skim introductory course called get Out of Line. It was about how do you stop following the person in front of you and really be the leader in what you're doing? So I just got all of a sudden this hunger for learning about hormones and learning other ways. I've heard you talk about your toolbox got bigger or you added things to your toolbox and that really is how I feel about it. I'd gotten a bunch of people better, but there were several that were just hanging on and not quite continuing to do well. And so having this whole new thing where I could help patients with both, with adding in hormones and then as I went on, adding more things, the whole perspective of this not being disease centered, but being cellular or organ centered and how do we manipulate the way that the body responds to its environment? (05:54): It was a completely different way of thinking about medicine. I think I just continued. So then I found the American Academy of the anti-Aging and regenerative medicine like you and spent many years learning layer after layer after layer of complexity, adding things to my toolbox learning from other people. I think we spend a lot of time learning now, speaking with people like you, with other friends that really help us to learn other ways. We've just added ozone therapy and neurotherapy to our practice, which have been huge benefits. So there's so many things we can do for that patient that's just not getting better and oh, okay, well then maybe this is a matter of looking at how your cells process energy, how your cells speak to one another or communicate how your nervous system controls the way that your organs work. So it's been a fun journey. (06:47): Yes, it is. And I love that you learned out from a wanting more place. So many of us learned from disasters and then when we couldn't find answers we had to seek elsewhere. So it's very inspiring to hear your story and I want to talk a little bit about longevity. There have been some experts in the more mainstream medical field who have said, no, you can't really impact longevity except don't smoke, don't drink too much, and kind of the usual party line that everyone hears. You know, eat the sad diet, exercise more, right? All the things we hear, but there really is so much more that you can do to impact longevity. So how did you become interested in (07:38): That? I think it's because the patients, again, it's the patients who came to me and said, how do we make sure it really, the specific patients are the ones who are the entrepreneurs or the head of household or the family member who says, I want to, I've seen my mother much like you. I've seen my mother or my father go through this horrible end of their life that they, I didn't want them to go through. How do I keep myself from getting there And I have, they have a passion about something they're doing. Like maybe they own a coffee company or maybe they own a skincare line and they love what they're doing and they're passionate about helping people in that way and they wanna be able to continue to do that. So when my patients come to me and tell me those stories, it really inspires me to provide them that opportunity to continue to be so, I see myself as one of their team members in helping them to be able to continue to pursue their passion as long as possible. (08:34): I'm not necessarily talking about increasing their number of days or years, although that is something that everyone's rushing to, to, to find the research for and maybe probably has been doing for, has been for years. I'm really talking about changing the shape of your health span from a long oval type shape into a square so that you increase your health, you stay at that lovely, improved health all the way until you're ready to pass and then you go so that there isn't this sort of long drawn out disease state at the end of life that we continue to see. I would hope that you would be able to continue to do things that you're passionate about, speaking in front of audiences and teaching about hormones until right up until the day before you pass and that that you would not have that long drawn out, prolonged ending. So when I'm talking about longevity, I'm really talking about longevity of health span. Although the research is out there and currently being done on improving the length of life, I feel like if my length of life is, if my life is not full of health then I don't really want the extra length of life. (09:46): I totally agree , we don't wanna live in a disease state and currently so many of us once we pass 50 are in a disease state. I think it's over 50% of us are on five or more medications after the age of 50, which represents chronic disease management and all the risks that chronic disease carries. So increasing our health span, and I know some of you listening are thinking, you know, Dr. Kyrin, my health is a mess right now and I'm in midlife metabolic mayhem. Or I, you know, I can't lose the weight and I can't sleep. I'm not worrying about increasing my health span. But actually the same tools that Dr. Suzanne and I are gonna talk about are will also help you get out of midlife metabolic mayhem and correct and reverse disease and improve your overall quality of health. So you definitely wanna listen cuz she's gonna share some tools with you that we haven't talked about on the podcast before and I think you're gonna wanna hear this, I have to ask you first, you have this wonderful quote on your Instagram and I love your Instagram cuz it really shows who you are and your life. (10:58): So everybody, you definitely wanna check it out. We'll give the link at the end that muscle is the currency of aging. Muscle is the currency of aging. Can you talk about what that means? (11:11): I have to confess, I stole that from a friend Carl Leor who's a wonderful podcaster as well. This is about, we have to realize that the exercising muscle, it's not just that your doctor's telling you to exercise. Wow. Wow. That's true. Okay, I know about that. This is actually, we know that the exercising or the contracting muscle secretes signals that tell the rest of your body, this is a young person begin to unfold the D N A unfold, the protein processing that in a way that is much more youthful. So an exercising muscle will communicate to the rest of the body that this is a young person and that youthful things need to be happening. So even if you are unable to exercise, there are other things that we can do to help with that. There's a relatively new device called M sculpt that works on helping people who are unable to exercise. (12:06): Now it's marketed for weight loss, but what's exciting about this device is it's able to help with people who are unable to exercise or have injuries to actually as behave as though they were exercising. So it gives that same release of youthful signals that you get. I think most people are able to do some form of activity and even if you are, you know, walking to your mailbox standing up or sitting down at your desk, I tell my 96 year old patients that one of the things they can do is just standing up and sitting down from their dining room chair. Just getting that kind of activity is going to be beneficial for your overall health because your muscles as they move and contract are sending signals to the rest of your body to be more youthful and to produce proteins in a more youthful manner. (12:54): So then all the things that happen with age where we collect more junk in our more trash in our cells where we damage the cells to the point where they become like zombie cells, all of those things are less likely to happen because of the signals that our cells are getting from the exercising muscle. So there's a reason to exercise this, not just my doctor says I need to exercise or I'm trying to lose weight. Although both of those usually are present. The biggest reason is because of this youthful communication that an exercising muscle will give you. (13:28):Where are women getting it wrong over 40 with maintaining or building muscle mass? How are we getting it wrong with our hormones with the exercises we're doing or not doing? Why do we struggle with losing muscle mass? Cuz that's a huge problem for women. So where do, yeah, (13:47): I love the new, it's one of the hashtags I love. It's it's strong, not skinny. I love that because it's, it moves the focus away from being very, very thin to being very, very healthy. And the idea that one of the things I hear my patients say a lot is, I don't want to do any weight training because I'm afraid I'm going to be too bulky. And that makes me a little bit sad because I think it's one of the easiest, fastest way for women over 40 to lose weight. And so patients that I can finally convince, okay, you don't need to be in the gym, do on the treadmill for 45 minutes every single day. You can do a hit exercise program that's just 15 really probably we can get away with four to five minutes of high intensity interval cardio and the rest of the time you can do some weight training because that's where we get our fat burning. (14:39): Again, that's where we tell ourselves to choose to burn fat as an energy source. If is in that 70% maximum heart rate range, it's not in killing yourself on the treadmill, it's in that lovely 70% max heart rate range, which we usually will get with a good weight training program. Now I definitely recommend people use a trainer, especially if you've just started doing weight training. I have been doing this for several years and I still use a trainer because I wanna make sure I don't injure myself. So injury is a little bit worse of course. So I would rather not have that. I want longevity of my ability to exercise as well. So I have someone who guides me through the things that I do in the gym, the way women are because we don't have a lot of testosterone and particularly as we approach menopause or in that midlife mayhem, we will deplete ourselves of testosterone. (15:33): And so it's actually testosterone and the way you train that will build a bulk of your muscle. It's pretty difficult for women to build bulk. They really have to eat a lot and they have to do exercises in a particular way in order to bulk even at that. Most of the women who you see that are that bulky kind of bodybuilder look, those women usually have, they have given themselves some sort of hormonal treatment, not, not like menopausal hormones but additional hormones that will allow them to be that size. Otherwise women are less likely to grow what we should see to hypertrophy or thicken the muscles. Like you talk about bulky, what we instead will see is more definition of the muscle because you're burning the fat around the muscle, so you're maintaining your muscle mass, you're burning the fat around the muscle to be used for that muscle to contract. So typically I recommend that women over 40 really put the majority of their energy in exercise toward muscle, toward lifting weight, some sort of resistance exercise. (16:39): Okay. Yes. And I find that maybe it's post Jane Fonda aerobic exercise era when people say exercise, like we have in our minds says women over 40, oh Jane Fonda, right? But I think it's time that we changed that visual and I don't have a visual representation of who represents probably Deborah Atkinson , you know, flipping 50. She talks about that all the time. And you don't need more aerobics, you need more resistance training. You mentioned testosterone and that's something that I'm very passionate about because you know, the official corporate medical statement summary on testosterone use in women is basically no. And it's so vital for our brain function neurotransmitters, our bone mass, our muscle. Can you talk about the importance of getting your testosterone tested and treated? (17:37): Yes, over our lifetime, even including in our twenties, testosterone is one of the greatest hormones that's produced and I mean greatest in volume of hormones that's produced by women's bodies, which doesn't seem to be, that doesn't make a lot of sense in our minds, but this is the reason why it's so frustrating. So I just competed in a power lifting competition and I was required to come off of my testosterone in order to com do that competition. I think this is a travesty because this, I'm gonna spend the next several months dealing with my midlife mayhem again as I cover the loss of testosterone and coming back, getting back on it again. And I don't take a huge dose of testosterone. I'm, I'm really just at a moderate appropriate dose because without it, my testosterone, of course I'm 50, my testosterone is very low with testosterone, I sleep better, I'm more calm. Things around me don't bother me. And that's the case with most of my patients. Much like you I'm sure is that they're able to sleep better at night. I tell women things like socks on the floor don't bother you . (18:46): And it's because if you think about it, your husband doesn't, it doesn't bother him. When he sees socks on the floor, he walks right past it. It's because our minds are so diffusely aware. If you're familiar with the work of Allison Armstrong, we have such diffuse awareness when we're in that estrogen cycle and if we are on testosterone, it really helps with bringing some focus to our activities in our day. So I'm a big fan of testosterone and again, not in a, an overdose or super physiologic dosing, but in a necessary for functioning to day-to-day. The dose I take is about one 10th or one 15th. The dose of that I give my husband, it's a way smaller dose, but it's perfect in just what I need in order to function properly in on day-to-day. (19:31): Right. And I love that you brought up Alison Armstrong. I'll just say a little bit about her for everybody listening. She's basically, I guess a woman's dating coach, but she really is very clear about the different psychological profiles that is related to hormones for men and women and how we function differently because of the our hormonal milieu. And so I love that you shared that about our brain because testosterone is super important for that dopamine and the focus and the drive and not only our muscles and our bones, but it's very important. All right, so what else is important when we're looking at increasing our health span? (20:15): I think several things are important. One of the ways that muscle also works. And so this is, it's, I'm gonna tie this into what we just talked about is by increasing the ability of your cells to produce protein and increasing the ability of the cells to produce energy. So I hear a lot of women that are in that midlife mayhem talk about being fatigued. So one of the things that we can use, there's a old drug that was found on Easter Island that is sort of like an old antibiotic, although it functions differently than that. It's F D A approved for use for kidney transplant patients and that's in a fairly high dose. When we use this in a much lower dose, we can find that that we are able to turn off the go, go, go, go, go mi mindset of ourselves and turn on the rest and repair mindset of ourselves. (21:10): Those two aspects of how we see and use energy in ourselves need to be in a really good balance, the calm down, rest and relax as well as the go-go, let's build, let's grow, let's develop. We want that, but we also want the rest and relax. It needs to be in this good balance. Much like we've probably talked about with the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Those all exist, those dichotomies exist at the cellular level. So one of the things that it's drug is called rapamycin. It's used in much, much smaller doses and there are some really interesting studies about it improving the longevity and the number of years of mice and sea elegance, which is a worm that has very similar D n A to ours as opposed to dogs that don't have similar the for using animals for research rats or mice. (22:03): And the sea elegance has a very similar d n A to us so we can use those to study and rapamycin, because it's been around for a long time, it's been used for many, many years treating kidney transplant patients. We're using this in really, really tiny infrequent doses for every once in a while to give your cells a rep and a chance to recover from all the things we do in a day. So that also sort of, so rapamycin is one option, but we also use that rolls over into the idea of how important sleep is. So one of the things that's the tenant of health for me is going to bed at eight 30. And the reason this is important is because during sleep, this is when your brain opens up what we call the glymphatic drainage system. This is sort of the trash or the sewer system of the brain. (22:52): It's closed during the day and at night while you're sleeping. It opens up as long as the body's not doing anything like digesting food. So this is one of the reasons why your Dr. May say for you to wait at least two hours from eating to going to bed because that gives your body time to handle the food and then it can focus on that recovery and repair. During sleep is when that glymphatic drainage system opens up, all the trash can be cleared away. The immune cells can take the trash, bundle it up, put it out into the glymphatic to be moved away. The systems can be all things can be filed away like where they're supposed to be in the brain and the next morning you can wake up refreshed because all of that was able to happen. So in our patients who aren't sleeping, we need to be really focused and helping them to make that a priority, not only as far as setting aside the amount of time that's necessary, but also in providing them ways to help them with sleep. (23:52): That list is very, very long, but getting adequate number of hours of sleep and the research is around seven to nine hours per night and then also getting enough of the kinds of sleep we need. So the same thing happens during sleep on a nightly basis in the brain. That can happen during the day with using something like rapamycin. The other interesting thing is doing a 12 hour fast overnight. And that's probably the only thing that's been proven in humans to promote longevity is calorie restriction. This is really hard to do long-term, so it's not something that we, that we definitely recommend for everyone, but one of the things I do recommend for everyone is a 12 hour overnight fast. This is, it seems like 12 hours overnight. That seems like it would be easy. Well if you eat dinner at six o'clock at night and don't eat anything again until six o'clock in the morning, that sounds pretty easy. (24:46): But most of my patients have a hard time getting that 12 hours in. What's interesting is if you fast for that 12 hours, we know that the brain will begin to produce a protein or a fat rather called butyrate and butyrate is used by the cells as an alternate fuel source and it triggers that same response as the rapamycin does to help the body with that process of autophagy or rest and relaxation. So an overnight fast of 12 hours is cheaper than getting rapamycin of course, and is a really simple way that everyone at home can be involved in their own longevity is by setting aside that time not only for adequate rest but also for fasting overnight (25:30): Regarding fasting because it's very popular right now all kinds of fast dry, fast wet, fast water, fast juice fast. But intermittent fasting is a huge topic and there's several best selling books on it. What about longer intervals of fasting? What is the research saying about that? (25:50): It's, I think the research is still up in the air and what really works in the research is fasting in the morning and is early, I'm sorry, is is evening fasting, which is much more difficult for most people to do. Most people don't mind fasting in the morning, but they have a really hard time fasting in the evening and as we just talked about, it runs right into your ability of your body to rest and and recuperate and especially the brain to repair the things it needs to overnight if you're bumping that up too close to your sleep time. So I really encourage people if they can, to push that fasting window up against their dinnertime and make that dinnertime be earlier in the evening. Then you get that full 12 hours of overnight sleep, I mean of overnight fasting for the brain to be able to begin producing butyrate so that it can cause all the healing that the cells need through that time when it's produced. (26:46): Okay, alright. I want us continue on tools to improve longevity, but I wanted to ask you about how do people know how old their body thinks they are? I mean sure we have a chronological age, but for some of us, and I've seen some inventories where people can do answer questions about their health and then it spits out kind of what their, and I forget what Eric Braverman calls it, their true age and your, you can find out does your, is your body functioning at an older age or a younger age or your age appropriate? Where are you? But there's some clinical tests that can be used, correct? (27:27): Yes. So I think the simplest way for us to look at that is there's a couple of simple markers that are probably on everyone's last lab test. They're not going to give you a specific age, but it is something for you to monitor over time and it's again, something probably everyone's had done on their most recent lab tests. If you look on your complete metabolic panel, one of the tests that's on there is called an albumin. The goal for albumin is for the level to be four and a half or greater. If you're four and a half or if you're less than four and a half, your risk of aging and your risk of mortality from all causes goes up. So I just encourage people to watch their albumin level. We wanna see that it's either staying the same or improving and that's a general good marker of how well your health overall is. (28:20): The second easy simple marker is in your complete blood cell count and that is a lymphocyte count. We want that lymphocyte count to be greater than 35. When you, as we age, one of the things that causes us aging is that your immune system declines in its ability to function optimally. We know that this has happened with our most recent virus that's gone through and most of the people who were unable to tolerate that were people who were elderly or over 75 80. And part of that is because their immune system is also aging. One of the ways we can look at that is looking at the lymphocyte count, which is look is one of your immune cells and we want that level to be greater than 35. A less than 35 is concerning that you will not be able to fight off viruses or cancer should the two of them come your way. (29:12): And so those are two things you can monitor generally in every lab test. Now a little bit more specific are two different tests and one is called a beta-glucan assay. This can let us know whether or not you also gives you an approximation of what your age is because we accumulate this as we age. There are specific labs that do this. The second one is called true age and it is an epigenetic test, which means you know, you have, you know about people who have genetic variations in their D N A from birth and they have changes that make them more susceptible to things like down syndrome for example. Well those various genes and all of our genes will change the way they are expressed based on what's happening in your environment. So a more appropriate environmentally induced aging marker is this epigenetic test. They're looking for specific changes on specific pieces of D N A that are more common with aging and they can give you both a rate of aging as well as an proposed current age based on all the patients they've had do the test. (30:25): And so there are several companies that do a test like this. I use one called True Age, there are lots of others. And they look at your epigenetics to see whether you are how quickly you are approaching aging. I really am concerned about the rate of aging. So for every one year of age, how many years older are you? And I'd like to see that number be one or less so that you are not continuing aging. And again, one of the ways we can fix that is what we've already talked about with contracting muscle and adequate sleep and overnight fasting. (31:00): All right. Where are we with telomere length at this point clinically? What are your thoughts on that? (31:06): So what's interesting is telomere length, it tends to be associated with aging. We know that again with the most recent virus that people lost a good bit of telomere length. The jury is still out whether extending telomeres will affect your longevity in the long run. So we are still looking at that research to see whether or not there is a benefit. We know that a shorter telomere length is associated with a shorter lifespan, but it's not necessarily correlated with a lengthening of that. Telomere is not necessarily corded with a lengthening of lifespan. So again, the jury is still out. There are several companies that have products that are beneficial in lengthening T telomeres and I am not convinced of the information yet. It's the jury is still out about whether that telomere lengthening will extend lifespan. (32:00): Right. And just for anyone who doesn't know whatt mirrors are, they're kind of like the binding on your end of your shoelaces that you have on all strands of D N A that kind of holds it together and they shorten over your lifespan and like Dr. Suzanne was saying, you're at increased risk for certain diseases when they're shorter. So that's what telomeres are. Alright, so we're working out at the gym doing, getting our muscle mass, we're doing resistance training, we're sleeping, we're doing a 12 hour fast. What other things have been shown or clinically (32:38): Proven to help us improve our health spans? There was a big study that was done called the trim study that's probably the most significant one that's out there. And it was done with growth hormone, growth hormone and the, the study was intended to see whether or not growth hormone would improve lifespan and giving people growth hormone would improve their lifespan. Well one of the side effects of growth hormone is increase in blood sugar. So they also gave those patients metformin to cut counteract the increase in blood sugar from the growth hormone. The other thing that growth hormone is known to do is increase cortisol or stress hormone. Who needs that? So they gave those people D H E A to help counteract this, the ef, the growth hormone side effect of raising cortisol. So the study was done with growth hormone, D H E A and D and metformin. (33:31): So this is one of the places where the hype around metformin began. Metformin has some benefits in, this is what I was getting to. Metformin has some benefits in improving lifespan in animal studies. The concern I have with metformin is its mechanism of action. Number one, its mechanism of action is at the mitochondria or the energy generating level. This interferes with the ability of cytochrome one, which is one of the little things that helps your mitochondria to make energy. It interferes with that function. So I don't want any of my mitochondria to be fun to be messed with. I get concerned when I see that when I hear about mitochondria because mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the causes of aging. So it just doesn't jive in my mind to use metformin, although there's a lot of research out there that's very interesting and ongoing about using metformin for longevity. (34:26): It just makes me nervous because of its mechanism of action. The second thing that metformin does, mechanism of action-wise is affects your microbiome. Which if you have a terrible microbiome might be a good idea if you have a great microbiome. I don't wanna mess with my microbiome. I think our intestines speak volumes to our entire bodies. I think the food that we put in tells the microbiome to be what it is and it will send signals back to our body to be more youthful, to be more energetic, to be more calm. All the things. I listened to your last podcast about anxiety and she was right on about the microbiome really affecting our anxiety. So I get concerned about, about messing with the microbiome if we don't have to. So metformin is a little concerning to me. The study was done with growth hormone and last I understood they were actually looking at using an a peptide called liraglutide, which does not have the glucose raising or the cortisol raising effects of me of growth hormone. So I'm interested to see the research on that. That's still pending lilu most people are probably familiar with it as as Victoza or Saxenda, which are, which is used for weight loss. (35:37): Okay, awesome. All right, so what other tools are available? You mentioned peptides, you are an expert in peptides, you have all book coming out on this topic. What we've covered a little bit of that on the podcast, but can you speak to peptides that might specifically improve health span? (35:57): It's one of the things I think is really interesting and helpful because of how they work. I think there's two in particular that would be beneficial and there's several of them probably that would be helpful. But let's just talk about two, I think thymus and alpha one, which is comes from your thymus thymus gland and can help to rebalance the way your immune system functions. When we get a vaccine, when we have an autoimmune disease, our immune system is really shifted over to one side where it's primarily focused on making antibodies. We don't want our immune system to be focused in that direction because then it's unable to fight things like viruses and cancer. And this is an oversimplification of the way our immune system works. But there, if we're talking about in binary language, that's really what we're looking at. So if it's busy making antibodies, it's not gonna be busy making things, what we call natural killer cells that can fight off bacteria, I'm sorry, viruses and cancer. (36:53): Oh, I'd love for it to be more balanced. And one of the ways we can do that is using this peptide that's naturally occurring in the thymus gland. It's depleted in patients we know that have things like rheumatoid arthritis, MS for example. And so we love having that extra ability to give ourselves depleted thymus and alpha one if we are able to find it. That's a little bit of trouble right now. I like it because it works on that immunosenescence or the aging of the immune system that occurs as we age. The thymus gland, which is where your T-cells come from. Everybody's familiar with this conver you, I couldn't have had this conversation several years ago cuz no one would know what we were talking about, but right. The recent virus we have all this, people are familiar with these terms. You are a thymus gland where your T-cells come from gets replaced with fat as we age. (37:42): And so that's part of the problem with aging is your immune system's unable to fight off things that used to be able to. So if we can give you something like thymus and alpha, we stimulate your baby T-cells to become cells that can fight things off, then we have this better balance. So I think thymus and alpha would definitely fall in my toolbox of anti-aging. The second thing would be to use a growth hormone secretagogue. The reason why I like the instead of growth hormone itself is because they're increasing the ability of your body to produce its own growth hormone. Again, as we age, we know we hit that midlife mayhem and we deplete our bodies not only of testosterone melatonin, estrogen, progesterone, but also growth hormone. And so if we can allow our bodies just to make the amount of growth hormone that it would've made in our twenties and thirties, that it would na you won't overdose on the growth hormone because you're not giving yourself actual growth hormone. (38:40): You're giving yourself an it's, they're usually analogs of growth hormone releasing hormone, which is also naturally produced by the brain. We know that these are associated with improvement in longevity, especially in animal studies. And so this is one of my favorites to help to put people on for improving their longevity. And we can follow that again with a true h test and see how they're chronologically versus biologically improving in their age. So those would probably be my number one. And number two, anti-aging. If we're talking about appearance as aging, one of my favorites is using the copper peptides. And so growth GH HK is the amino acid sequence that it's called. Most of the peptides have a letter and number name on them because they're, they're still in research use. And so G H K has a copper p attached to it, so it's blue when you see it. (39:31): You may see several skincare lines that have a G H K that have a blue coloration to them and these can really help to restore the skin. They have been compared against re A and vitamin C with better than re A and vitamin C outcomes in the research. So very interesting anti-aging for the skin. What's very interesting recently is I've been recommending these topically for people to use for hair loss and we've had several patients lose their hair in this most recent pandemic. And if they use this on their scalp with a derma roller, we do it a couple times a week. Many of these patients will, we're seeing some really amazing results with restoration of hair. And this is not even using p R P, it's just using the, the DRO and the the medical grade J H K C U serum. (40:25): Awesome. Yeah, this is so much good information and I know you could go on probably listing things. I'm thinking, oh, we didn't even talk about oxygen therapies, but I'm gonna tell everyone they just need to read your book , where you're gonna talk about a lot of this. And I thank you so much for joining us. I want everybody listening to really hear that you can improve the quality of your health throughout your life. Juries is not in yet on whether we can actually increase our years, but we can certainly increase the life and the years that we do have. So where can everybody find out more about you? (41:08): My website is Vine as in grapevine medical.com on Instagram at Dr. S Turner, d r s Turner. I'm on Facebook, vine Medical on Facebook. That's the best places. (41:21): And talk a little bit about your book. What are they gonna find there? (41:24): So it's pretty exciting. I'm about halfway through. We're expecting it to be published in November. It is about how to restore your youthful self, recognizing yourself in the mirror again, there I am. And particularly with use the use of peptides. (41:42): Awesome. Well we look forward to that. And thank you for the wisdom and information that you've shared. Thank you for your passion and for your willingness to get out of line. I too started with Dr. Taylor and for everyone listening, Dr. Taylor Eldridge Taylor used to run a program called Get Out of Line for physicians who really recogniz that particularly as women in medical weren't being served properly. And he started by teaching other doctors about natural hormone therapy and then expanded. And then both Dr. Suzanne and I went onto the A four M residency, as she said, or fellowship. So thank you so much for your bravery. A lot of people lay, people don't realize how brave it is for doctors like you to get out of line and say no to the drug and surgery paradigm and walk this path. It's very courageous and I thank you for doing it. I'm so grateful that you just said yes and that you continue on this path. Thank you. (42:46): Thank you Dr. Ki.

CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE AT IN YOUR LIFE Life can get incredibly busy and not only are we trying to juggle everything going on in our lives, but sometimes other people's lives too. Friends, family members, and co-workers may all need us at one point in their lives to help them out. And it's great to help them out however and whenever you can, but are you paying enough attention to yourself? This week, try to stop for a moment and take a close look at everything that is going on in your life. Your family, your career, and you goals. Are you spending enough time on what you want to accomplish? Maybe you don't spend enough time on you or if everything becomes too much, you just push everything aside to give yourself space and a moment to breathe. Pay attention to everything that you have going on in your life and ask yourself if it's too much to handle. Maybe you have too much going on right now or too many goals that you're facing. If something is too much to handle, it's okay to back off and come back to it later when you're ready for it. Likewise, what are some tips that you can share with all of us when you're juggling too much at once? Send us an email, voicemail, Facebook message, Twitter tweet etc. How do you handle stress and taking on different projects at once?

In this weeks episode of the Ask Jim & Jay Podcast, hosted by Joshua Smith, the crew dives into the Golden Rules of Testosterone Optimization Therapy. Jim Brown & Jay Campbell are EXPERTS on the subject and have just released their new book which you can find a link to below! Get your notepads out and click play because there is a ton of knowledge about TOT, testosterone optimization therapy, in here waiting to be absorbed!   The Golden Rules of TOT 10-15:   10) Your physician should know how to quickly alleviate common TOT side effects. These effects include high or low estrogen readings, itchy nipples (gynecomastia), water retention, lack of erectile strength, and mood imbalances.   The potential side effects of TOT are minimal in scope, simple to detect and easy to safely correct when managed by a qualified TOT physician. Front-line treatment options should first involve changing the dose of testosterone(usually lowering) and the frequency of said doses before introducing medications that are specifically used for alleviating side effects. This rule is especially important when it comes to  introducing AI medications into one’s TOT regime, which can cause terrible bone mineral density issues over time.   11) Therapeutic dosages of testosterone can completely change your physique by decreasing body fat and increasing muscle mass, but ONLY when living a dialed-in lifestyle.   This lifestyle MUST CONSIST of a clean insulin-controlled diet, in combination with productive resistance and cardiovascular training. If you think you can hack life with TOT while eating Cheetos and laying down on the couch all day, you are DEAD WRONG!.   TOT is NOT a magic bullet. Also, if you think you can get away with skipping cardio and doing nothing else but  train with weights, think again. You’ll end up getting average to below average results at best. You must do cardio on a regular basis to keep your blood supply oxygenated, and decreasing the thickening of blood (via increased red blood cell counts) often caused when using injectable testosterone.   12) If Your body fat is over 30% (i.e. you are obese) and you start TOT without a FIRM COMMITMENT to getting rid of it, you will fail miserably.   There are too many biological systems that are not functioning properly when you are obese. As a result, using testosterone in isolation can create additional problems. As discussed in the book, obesity and high aromatase levels go hand in hand with low testosterone levels. Dr. Rob Kominiarek says that when you are a ‘metabolic emergency’ due to things like insulin resistance and metabolic disorder, nothing will work ‘as expected’ until all systems are operating normally. Therefore,  GET RID OF YOUR BODY FAT or accept inevitable failure as the likely result.   13) Almost every single “testosterone boosting” supplement sold today is a complete scam.   The cold hard truth is that there’s little to NO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE which supports the claims made by supplement companies about their testosterone boosters actually raising testosterone levels. The only proven way to raise and optimize testosterone levels is through pharmaceutical means (i.e. utilizing TOT).   This is because powerful factors in our modern-day environment are constantly placing our endocrine systems under siege. This environmental assault overshadows most men’s natural ability to produce testosterone, and their efforts to fix low testosterone levels. It is the opinion of the most advanced and progressive physicians, that only Type A personality types can fix their issues naturally, due to their commitment and their militant attention to detail.   14) There is nothing morally wrong, unethical or illegal about optimizing your body’s testosterone levels. It’s the exact same thing as having Lasix, or an artificial hip replacement surgery.   Using TOT productively is a lifelong strategy, and so you need to be financially stable in order to start therapy. . Being able to pay for your treatment and any additional medications (when necessary) MUST BE factored into your daily expenses.   15) When using injectable testosterone as a delivery system, the optimal protocols to choose from in order are as follows:   Option 1A: 10-30 mg of testosterone injected daily. This provides the most stable testosterone levels (i.e. mimicking endogenous production of testosterone as closely as possible), and it will also help to minimize aromatization (thereby minimizing side effects) and erythrocytosis (blood thickening). Normally, this type of protocol works well for individuals with a Type A personality.   Option 1B: 50-70mg of testosterone injected every other day (EOD). This is a nice compromise between injecting yourself daily and injecting yourself twice a week.  This protocol is best for individuals who cannot bring themselves to administer daily injections.   Option 2: 50-100 mg of testosterone injected twice a week (preferably every 3rd day). This option is the MOST POPULAR CHOICE, and is preferred by most patients because they don’t have to inject themselves too often.Additionally, this protocol is still more advantageous than once per week therapy.   To Get on the Waiting List for The TOT Bible! http://TOTBible.com     http://metabolicblowtorchdiet.com/   https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B079JVH28N/trtrev71-20     Thanks for watching don’t forget to subscribe for daily content!  https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=joshuasmithaz   Join the Free Private GSD Mode Facebook Group - http://www.facebook.com/groups/gsdmode     iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gsd-mode/id964583650?mt=2     Full Website - http://www.gsdmode.com     SUPPORTED BY:     Perfect Storm - http://www.perfectstormnow.com     90 Day Mastery - http://www.90daymastery.com     TRT Revolution - http://www.TRTrevolution.com       GSD Shirts - http://www.gsdmode.com/gsd-mode-apparel     CONNECT WITH US     http://facebook.com/joshuasmithGSD     http://instagram.com/joshuasmithgsd     http://twitter.com/joshuasmithGSD

The Testosterone Optimization Therapy Bible is out now! How has the philosophy of replacement morphed into one of optimization? Is there more to optimization than just fitness? Is hormone optimization a men-only zone? On this episode, Daniel Kelly is back to discuss all this and more. You can either become a man of action or you can be everybody else. - Jay Campbell Takeaways Doctors are not always up-to-date with hormone replacement therapy knowledge. Do your own research. Testosterone improves all aspects of your life and is not dependent on health and fitness. "Natural" remedies for testosterone therapy are ineffective and not an alternative to optimization. To start off, we talked about The Testosterone Optimization Therapy Bible and how it destroys common myths about testosterone therapy and advancing beyond the sick care model. Daniel mentioned how important it is to educate yourself about the cutting-edge research on testosterone therapy. Next, we explained that the book is a great blueprint for understanding how to optimize your health. We also discussed how hormone therapy can bring advantages to anyone, irrespective of gender, body shape, or age. We also talked about: Taking control of your own health The damaging effects of standardized medical care Dispelling negative propaganda about hormone therapy Statistical myths about testosterone deficiency The problem with the toxin-free approach There have been a lot of myths about hormone therapy and how it's unnatural or damaging. Don't believe everything you read. Make a move to educate yourself. Buy and read books from experts in the field and talk to a doctor who can recommend the best course of action for optimizing YOUR life. Make sure your doctor is well-educated on the effects of low testosterone too, as many medical professionals tend to overlook it. There's no harm in looking for a second opinion. The main goal is finding something that works best for you in order to lead a more fulfilling life. Guest Bio Daniel is a contributor on trtrevolution.com.

Most intermittent fasting gurus don’t know anything about training. What are the keys to training and fasting? What are the main benefits of the metabolic blowtorch diet? How does it impact your body’s disease resistance and give you better results? On this episode, Daniel Kelly’s back to share on his work on the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet, changing perspectives on testosterone and why being leaner is the secret to health. Some diet programs are so focused on actual weight at the expense of skeletal muscle mass. -Daniel Kelly Takeaways The question isn’t whether your testosterone is going to be lowered, it’s what you’re going to do about it. You deserve carbs after you train hard with weights. Average people who did alternate fasting lost 12,6 pounds of body fat and lost 0 skeletal muscle. You can fast two or three times a week and on the day you don’t fast, you train, lift weights and eat more carbs. At the start of the show, we talked about the decline of sperm production around the world, and how that is affecting global conception rates. Next we talked about why obesity is the world’s greatest disease and why people lose so much body fat when they do alternate fasting. Towards the end of the show, we spoke about how fasting reduces your inflammatory factors and why carbs are something you earn from exercise. We also discussed; Why the human endocrine system is under siege every single day The impact alternate fasting has on skeletal muscle Why fasting is more psychological than physical How the Metabolic Blowtorch Diet improves your workouts What most people don’t realize is that they are reducing their calorie intake so much that it is affecting their metabolism and working against their health. You end up hating yourself, hating the diet and perpetuating bad habits. When you diet and train the right way, you’ll get leaner and it will be metabolically okay for you to slack on your training days, your body will be able to handle carbs more, you’re more sensitive to insulin, and your muscle works like a really great pump. If you build as much muscle as possible as you age, you’ll be more resistant to disease, and the diseases of aging cannot show up if a person is well-muscled.   Guest Bio Daniel is a contributor on trtrevolution.com.

Whatever is bad and good in our lives comes down to the meaning you give it. How does TRT aid in a clearer understanding of the challenges you face in your life? What are the benefits of compound movements when it comes to working out? How does optimization give you better balance in your life? On this episode, we are joined by TRTrevolution.com contributor Daniel Kelly. Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive, it makes you tactical. - Jay Campbell Three Takeaways When you’re optimized the lens you apply to your life is much clearer. There are no shortcuts to building a world class physique. You can’t take branched chain amino acid when you’re fasting - it is a protein molecule. At the start of the show we had an esoteric discussion about changing the lens with which you view your life. Next, we talked about the power of essentialism and minimalism, and how TRT doesn’t change your psychological profile. Towards the end, we discussed how optimization helps you pursue better living. We also talked about; The power of compound movements The Metabolic Blow Torch diet What people get wrong about fasting Testosterone helps you to make the most out of your life, and it can be instrumental in helping you see life on a more esoteric level. In life, there will always be duality and parity - and seeing pain as a gift will help you bounce back from challenges and difficulties. Everything in life is about being balanced, incredibly introspective and having a ruthless focus on specific areas of your life to get you where you want to go. Balance will give you more composure.

Society is over-medicated and wrongly medicated. Factors like fast foods and too much sugar are causing physical, hormonal and emotional problems. Why are doctors prescribing the wrong medications? Why do people keep putting poison in their body in the hope that it will help? In this episode Dr Aaron Grossman discusses 10 factors relating to TRT, spirituality and how it can help you more than any pill you could get from your doctor. Health is a spiritual process. If you look at every single culture, the perfection of the human temple is perfect health. – Dr Aaron Grossman Three Takeaways Changing your diet and getting more in touch with your spirituality can boost the results of TRT. TRT is for life. Your natural production of testosterone is broken and isn’t coming back. Doctors don’t want to upset the status quo. They will keep prescribing the same medications and big pharmaceutical companies will keep making money off of it. At the start of the show, we discussed fatty liver disease and its prevalence within society nowadays. Statistics show if you are overweight there is an 80% chance that you have fatty liver disease. Next we discussed thyroid issues; what your physician should be checking, the problems with synthetic medications and how testosterone ties into this. We then moved on to talk about SSRIs, mental health issues and the misdiagnosis and over-medication of society.  Towards the end of the show, we talked about what to expect when starting a course of TRT and what you should be asking your doctor. We also discussed: The environmental factors affecting hormones The problems facing military personnel The costs and inefficiencies of the current healthcare system The spiritual processes of healing and how meditation can help You have to take it upon yourself to break away from the treatment plans that are currently being used by healthcare professionals. It’s important to find yourself a progressive healthcare professional who understands that getting your blood work done regularly is important. You need someone who can do a lot more than writing a prescription for a pain killer or a mood enhancer. Testosterone is a supplement and it does not work the same way for everyone. Your course of TRT must be tailored for your body specifically and you need to find a doctor that understands those needs and intricacies.

When it comes to dispensing wisdom and knowledge about TRT, the average doctor is clueless. What is the state of TRT across the world? How can people gain access to knowledgeable doctors and the best treatment products in Europe? On this episode Daniel Kelly shares his experience of getting TRT in the UK, the questions you should ask doctors, and the best TRT products in his experience. Most progressive socialized medical systems do not support men on testosterone. -Jay Campbell Three Takeaways Transdermals, gels and creams are inconvenient. They create an uneven release pattern in the bloodstream and cause spikes. When you inject TRT, your goal should be to mimic the frequency of your body’s pituitary gland secretion - it has to be stable.   If you’re injecting TRT at the wrong frequency, you’re actually going to end up worse off than when you started. At the start of the show, we discussed the state of TRT services in other parts of the world, and how the biggest issue is the lack of knowledge on the part of doctors and the medical industry in general. Next we shared on how to find the right doctor. “If you want to save yourself time, money and energy go to a private doctor who knows what he’s doing.” We also discussed TRT delivery systems and how to get the most stable release pattern. Towards the end of the show, we talked about the different products as well as a recent article about the low-testosterone epidemic. We also discussed: How low testosterone is leading to the destruction of masculinity Treatment options for people in the UK Questions you should be asking doctors Why the US is a TRT friendly market Your health is worth more than any money you could have, and TRT is a worthy path to take. It has the ability to completely transform your health and quality of life. There’s no shortcut to educating yourself, so the first step is arming yourself with knowledge about the treatment and then working with a competitive, progressive physician who knows what they’re talking about. The reason you want testosterone in the first place is to feel good, so it’s also necessary to inject it right. In this day and age, men are facing an unprecedented attack on their testosterone levels. TRT is at the front line of overcoming the epidemic. Guest Bio Daniel is a contributor on trtrevolution.com. To get in touch with him, leave a comment on one of his articles on the TRT Revolution website.

Testosterone deficiency is a common problem for a lot of men under 30. As a result, these individuals aren’t living up to their full potential, or experiencing fulfilling lives. Thanks to TRT, many have solved this problem and improved their quality of life. On this episode we talk to Daniel Kelly and Joshua Bakuhn, two men under 30 who have seen the benefits of TRT in their own lives. When you’re not actualizing your full potential, you’re not optimal. - Joshua Bakuhn Three Takeaways Most doctors don’t know anything about hormone replacement, be prepared to educate yourself. TRT makes you more driven and confident in general, and that flows through to your social life and dating. If you’re not producing testosterone in your 20s , it won’t get any better as you age. At the start of the episode, Daniel and Josh described their lives before TRT,  and how the treatment improved them. They also talked about the importance of educating themselves since most doctors don’t know about TRT. They went on to talk discuss how TRT has changed their dating lives and interactions with the opposite sex. Towards the end of the show we discussed people’s concerns about not being able to have children on TRT. We also talked about: How widespread testosterone deficiency is for men under 30 The importance of getting your blood work done and understanding your symptoms   If the quality of life on TRT outweighs the downsides of the treatment   What stops most men from going on TRT Why doctors haven’t caught up with TRT research   Why it’s better to solve your testosterone deficiency now, and not in your 50s Once you realize you’re missing out on a great life, the decision to start TRT is an easy one. It sets you up for success because it keeps you motivated, and it gives you the drive to boldly go after your goals. Ultimately the benefit of TRT is achieving optimal health, and the confidence and motivation that carries through to every part of your life - professionally, physically and socially.

A lot of the work we do to stay fit and healthy has to do with exercise and diet, but what about the internal reactions caused by what we eat? On this episode of the TRT Revolution, Paul Burgess is back to go deeper on food intolerance, exogenous ketones and digestive health. Takeaways If someone goes onto a ketogenic diet and they react to one of the foods, they won’t adjust their thinking the way they are meant to. Too many people discount the value of certain foods because they have carbs in them, and then they suffer low fiber and low enzymes as a result. Acid reflux is a symptom of low stomach acid. Burning in your chest does not mean you have too much acid. Don’t take more fiber when you’re constipated, take magnesium citrate.   At the start of the show, we talked about supplements and so-called health trends. “Once people start bringing products to the market in the form of supplements and foods, you end up seeing a junk food train that is veiled in some kind of health scheme.” Next, we went into detail about food intolerances, and why testing is so important. No matter how healthy a lifestyle you might follow, if you don’t know what you react to, all of that is irrelevant. We went on to discuss how people can figure out whether they have an intolerance or not, and Paul mentions the importance of long-term elimination of the suspected food, and reintroduction to see how the body responds. We also talked about common digestive problems people face and how to correct them. Towards the end of the show, we discussed exogenous ketones. When it comes to dieting, people grab onto the headlines that best suit them and this extends to ketogenic dieting. People often discount beneficial foods and underestimate the fact that they might have intolerances to so-called good foods. The only way to know if a specific item is good for your body, is to eliminate and reintroduce it to see what the reaction is. Ultimately, if it’s right won’t experience bloating, gas or fatigue; your body will feel tight and lean.

Holistic Health and Well-Being So here's the thing I'm getting older - I'm in my mid-30s. I'm a father. My overall health is becoming more of a concern. I don't recover from training as well as I used to. It's getting harder to keep the weight off. I can't eat as much as I used to. I sometimes get indigestion, which never used to happen because I have a great digestive system, alhamdulillah. I've started looking at my health and well-being holistically. How my physical well-being ties into my mental and spiritual well-being, and vice versa.

On this week's Open Sky Fitness Podcast episode, Rob had a great talk with Jay Campbell about testosterone replacement therapy. Jay the best selling author of The Definitive Testosterone Replacement Therapy MANual, a 16 year TRT patient and respected thought leader on Hormonal Optimization. Jay recently launched TRTRevolution.com and the TRT Revolution Podcast which promise to be the definitive resources for all things Testosterone, Anti-Aging and Life Optimization. Jay along with his mentor Jim Brown consult with aging men and women and soon will be offering a unique line of supplements (Optimized Life Nutrition) essential for living a hormonally balanced life. Rob and Jay had a deep discussion about why men can experience a loss of the testosterone hormone, what are the symptoms, and how to replace the hormone with therapy. To prepare for this interview, Rob even took a blood work test, a Pre TRT Wellness Panel, to see where his hormones were at and how healthy he is. Challenge of the Week: Think About Where You Are At In Your Life Life can get incredibly busy and not only are we trying to juggle everything going on in our lives, but sometimes other people's lives too. Friends, family members, and co-workers may all need us at one point in their lives to help them out. And it's great to help them out however and whenever you can, but are you paying enough attention to yourself? This week, try to stop for a moment and take a close look at everything that is going on in your life. Your family, your career, and you goals. Are you spending enough time on what you want to accomplish? Maybe you don't spend enough time on you or if everything becomes too much, you just push everything aside to give yourself space and a moment to breathe. Pay attention to everything that you have going on in your life and ask yourself if it's too much to handle. Maybe you have too much going on right now or too many goals that you're facing. If something is too much to handle, it's okay to back off and come back to it later when you're ready for it. Likewise, what are some tips that you can share with all of us when you're juggling too much at once? Send us an email, voicemail, Facebook message, Twitter tweet etc. How do you handle stress and taking on different projects at once?   Get a Jump-Start Guidebook From Rob When You Leave a Review!
