Anti-Aging Lifestyle - Longevity, Aesthetics, Health, and Beauty

In episode 6 of the Anti-Aging Podcast I bring you in live to an interview I did at the Ancestral Health Symposium, a health summit where dozens of industry leading doctors, trainers, and specialists give presentations on optimizing your health. This is where I met and interviewed this episode’s guest, Dr. Jen Myers.

Dr. Jen specializes in Nutrigenetics and Natural Medicine. She has a practice where she tests her client’s genes, and from those unique genes and gene variations, creates optimized nutritional and supplementation guidance to help optimize their health. Really cutting edge healthy living here!

Dr. Jen has also formulated nutritional supplements for consumer health companies, like Sun Warrior, and has a vast understanding of the biochemical process to which nutrition effects our body and possible genetic variants.

Her board certifications include: Biomedicine, Functional Medicine, Oriental Medicine, and Acupuncture. She is also certified in Genomics, Nutrigenomics, Clinical Nutrition, and advanced DNA analysis and interpretation.

Some highlights from the episode:

Why Good Nutrition is Not Enough: How individual genetics, food processing, less nutrient dense soil, and so many other factors go into the nutrition of your food and what your body is actually able to absorb and use. Dr. Jen gives an example of B vitamin absorption.

Being Raw Vegan for a Month: What changes did Dr. Jen see in her body and blood work? What kind of Vitamin B-12 should vegans be taking and why?

Intermittent Fasting: Different eating windows, health benefits, and more.

Why 23andMe is Not Enough: Especially if you want to optimize your body’s health and biochemistry, not just look at your risk for some common diseases.

Environmental Toxins: How they effect your genetics, and how to optimize your drinking water, the chemical environment around you, and air quality to help minimize that damage.

If you live in the Saint George, UT area, visit Dr. Jen at her health clinic and get on your path to start truly optimizing your health!

Welcome to the Anti-Aging Lifestyle podcast episode 4! In this episode I provide an overview of functional training and cardio, including how to effectively apply both to your training routines.

I breakdown functional training first by defining what functional training means to me. I then go through many of the same muscle groups that I covered in episode 3, this time giving functional alternatives that you can use in your training routine or program.

With my cardio overview I perform a complete HIIT vs LISS cardio breakdown, comparing their effects on things like:

• Hormones
• Ability to create muscle stimulation
• Metabolism
• Fun factor (more important than you’d think)
• Lactic acid threshold

I conclude the episode with numerous HIIT cardio progression techniques, along with injury prevention tips to help you apply the amazing benefits of HIIT to your training routine.

At the end of the episode, in my Tomko Tip #4 I touch on the importance of focus and its ability to influence how you feel in any given moment. Focus is a very powerful thing that can literally change how you feel and interact with your world….in a matter of seconds. If you are able to control your focus, you will be able to control how you experience this life.

Welcome to the second ever Anti-Aging Lifestyle podcast episode! In this episode I give a brief overview of my views on nutrition as they relate to an anti-aging lifestyle.

I begin with a high level approach to nutrition discussing concepts like caloric balance, macro and micro nutrients. I then go over a few of the more popular diets in mainstream media including:

• Zone
• Mediterranean
• Paleo
• Whole Food
• Keto
• Carnivore
• Pescatarian
• Vegetarian
• Vegan
• Plant-based Whole Food

I then review some of the main consensus items across all the diets, along with my own recommendations. I also provide an overview of my own nutritional journey thus far, to help give insight into my way of thinking, but also to demonstrate the fact that learning and applying nutrition knowledge is and will always be an ongoing process.

Looking forward to interviewing doctors and experts that specialize and promote many of these diets that I listed above. So much for us to learn and apply!

I conclude the episode with Tomko Tip #2, where I talk about the power of forgiveness as a tool to make your life a beautiful experience.
