Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  

Many of us have heard that magnesium is important for our health, but have we heard why?  Dr. Greg Kelly returns to the show in this episode to discuss the powerhouse of magnesium.  Turns out, you cannot go wrong by adding magnesium to your supplements!  More than 50% of us are deficient and the kind of magnesium you want to supplement with, can be confusing.  Not all magnesium is the same and the bioavailability makes a huge difference.  

We discuss the role of magnesium in aging hallmarks, in energy production, in brain health and menstrual health too.   Magnesium protects us from the effects of chronic stress too.  

Dr. Kelly and I also discuss the role of Akkermansia in the microbiome of people who have smaller bodies and whether therapy with it can help solve the conundrum of weight for some of us.  This is an exciting development!

Greg also shares the updates to cellular senescence - cellular aging, the right cutting edge of anti-aging medicine.  We talk about muscle stem cells and more.  As always, Dr. Kelly brings the science to the people, and we are better for it!
