“Recovery is big. People think you need to work out to maximize performance but recovery has become as big in the equation as strength and conditioning and nutrition.” 

“I’m the crazy guy that wakes up at 5 am every day and does cold therapy, hot therapy, meditation, workout… I’m very disciplined with my health and nutrition.” 

“I still train and take care of my body like I’m a pro athlete and I think most people should be doing that.” 

“You have to make decisions on an everyday basis and hopefully you make a lot more good decisions than bad and still enjoy life at the same time.” 

“My mom thought she was going to get high from rubbing CBD on her knee, which is just not the case.”

Say hi to the AGEIST team!

Julia Linn was diagnosed with diabetes as a child and by age 30, it was clear that she may only live to 40 with the condition that her organs were in. She decided to have a risky double-organ transplant. She then went through a triple cardiac bypass. When she came upon the anniversary of her life-saving surgery, she decided to pay herself back by giving the gift of health. Now, she is powerfully strong, has gone through an incredible physical transformation, and looks at life in a new way. 

Julia shares her life of health struggles, how she got to where she is now, her advice for others wanting to transform and take control of their lives, and more.

“I didn’t start this journey by looking in the mirror and going ‘Ugh! I hate how I look. I hate my bat wings, I hate this, I hate that.’ I started with the idea that I love what this body has done for me in 62 years and I want to really take care of it, give it the self-care and self-love.” 

“It’s not that you don’t have the time, it’s that you’re not making the time. We pay attention to what’s important to us.”

“Obesity is hard. Getting fit is hard. Pick your hard.”

What is the balance of upstate and downstate? How can we optimize our recovery? When is the best time to do HIIT workouts? When is the best time to do strength training? How can we optimize our sleep?

Sara Mednick, PhD, professor and author, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to explain the upstate and the downstate and how we need both in order to live better. We also discuss the best times of day to workout, how to optimize our sleep, and the importance of recovery. 

“Every little cell in your body has a clock and it’s looking for consistencies, consistent patterns. So the more you stay consistent with something, eating behavior, exercise behavior, or even thinking, all of that stuff your body is paying attention to.” 

“The earlier you eat, the earlier your onset of melatonin, which is your sleep hormone, and the later you eat, the later the onset of melatonin. You’re going to be pushing your ‘I’m getting tired’ signals the later you eat.” 

“You should keep your feet and your hands outside of the covers when you’re sleeping because it’s the best way for the heat to be constantly leaving your system while keeping your core warm.”

00:07:00 The importance of our behaviors to either move forward or backward

“That idea that we should lower the bar, that maybe we can’t do something that’s very much where I came to start AGEIST.”

“Aging is not for the faint of heart. It’s a lot of work to do it right and it’s hard. You have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.” 

“Unless you’re moving forward, you’re moving backward.”

“Look in the mirror every morning and say ‘I am an athlete.’ What would an athlete do today?”

Meagan O’Leary, Global Operations & Digital Transformation Leader, health advocate, and double breast cancer survivor joins us on the SuperAge podcast to share her cancer journey. She explains some of the alternative health protocols that helped like hyperbaric oxygen therapy, ketamine, sauna, cold plunges, keto diet, and supplementation. She also explains how re-connecting with herself and her community was just as important as the cancer treatments she was doing. She is vital, not just a cancer survivor. Now, she works with other women who are experiencing what she did. 

What you will learn in this episode:
- Alternative approaches to cancer treatment
- The importance of connecting with yourself
- The importance of connecting with your community

What are the metaverse and Web3? How can people 50+ benefit from rapidly advancing technology? How will the metaverse and Web3 change our work lives? What about how we connect with our communities? How will the future of technology correct for ageism, racism, sexism? 

Bradley Schurman, an author, demographic futurist, and opinion maker on all things dealing with the business of longevity, joins us on the SuperAge podcast for a fascinating discussion about rapidly advancing technology like the metaverse and Web3. Bradley explains how we can keep up with these innovations and use them to our advantage. 

What you will learn in this episode:
- What the metaverse and Web3 are
- How the metaverse and Web3 will change our work lives and how we connect with our communities
- How nursing homes are using technology to keep their residents connected 
- How the future of technology will correct for discrimination against age, gender, location, appearance 
- Fraud in the digital space
- Why it is so important to stay up to date with these innovations or risk being left behind

“Thanks to decades of scientific and social innovation, we are in almost every measure living healthier, longer lives than ever before. So this idea that the age of 65 is somehow a stopping point has really become outdated.”

“It’s a lot like a tree. When we’re young, all trees look the same, we all have the same kind of sapling, the same kind of structure. But as we live, we become more diverse. We have different outcroppings of branches, and leaves, and different cycles of when we bud.” 

“Tech companies’ single biggest problem is ageism. It’s not racism or sexism it is ageism and there is enough data out there to prove that.” 

“As we enter this new period of time for humans where there are more older people and fewer younger people, technologies like Web3 and Metaverse, they’re going to help us find efficiencies in the system because we simply don’t have enough younger people to take care of the older population.” 

“There are a lot of constructs in the world so why can’t they be in the virtual world as well? They will be. We’ll carry those constructs with us.”

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)? How does HBOT aid in longevity, brain health, and cancer treatments? What are the different HBOT protocols and what are the pros and cons of each? How can someone try HBOT? How can one expect to feel after the treatment? Can we do HBOT at home? 

Dr. Scott Sherr, the director of Integrative Hyperbaric Medicine and Health Optimization at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to share everything we need to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Specifically, he discusses how HBOT promotes longevity, brain health, and aids in post-cancer therapy. He also explains the mechanics of HBOT, who will benefit, and some supplemental healthy habits we all should be doing to optimize our health. 

What you will learn:

• What HBOT is
• Who can benefit from HBOT
• Who should not do HBOT
• The different HBOT protocols and mechanics of the treatment
• Healthy habits to optimize your health 
• What is oxidative stress

“You can’t argue with the imaging, as far as I’m concerned. You can’t argue with somebody’s brain that’s either had a stroke or traumatic brain injury, gets into a hyperbaric chamber and then you can see their brains come back to life.” 

“I was asked to speak at a hyperbaric conference during the pandemic and the first title that I had was: ‘Please don’t put them in the chamber.’ Because of course, if you have a therapy, you’re going to want to use it on everybody. So one of the roles that I have in the hyperbaric world is to try to educate people on when is the best time to use the chamber, what types of chambers are best to use for that particular condition, and when to not go into the chamber.” 

“Senescent cells are also called zombie cells. The reason they’re called zombie cells is because they don’t die and they don’t divide. They just stick around, don’t work anymore, and cause inflammation. As we get older, the population of senescent cells increases, and as they increase so does your risk of cancer, heart disease, and inflammation degeneration.”

“What hyperbaric therapy is doing is it’s very much working at the cellular level.” 

“Everyone can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy at some point in their life. It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.”

“More is not always better. It’s not the American way here. We want to fine-tune our protocols so that we’re focused on the brain, or we’re focused on the body.” 

“Unfortunately the medical paradigm is: drugs first, ask questions later.”

He explains the causes of obesity, how being underhydrated impacts obesity and much water we should drink, what diet we should avoid, and more. 

What you will learn in this episode:

• How animals (and humans) become obese 
• The difference between fructose and glucose

“It’s the sugar-fed animals that get diabetes. It’s the sugar-fed animals that get fatty liver. It’s the sugar-fed animals that shoot their lipids up in their blood. It’s the sugar-fed animals that develop hypertension.” 

“When the body thinks it doesn’t have enough energy, it goes into a survival mode. And it stores fat, stores carbohydrates as glycogen, becomes insulin resistant.”

“We actually could reverse obesity in animals that were overweight on sugar by increasing their water intake.” 

“I encourage everyone to hydrate better. Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, maybe in some cases up to 10 glasses day.”
