# 75 - Put the Brakes on Aging? There's a New Game in Town, Spermidine

The problem with aging is that you’re not dealing with just one new challenge. It seems that suddenly everything seems to start going in the wrong direction and it’s all at the same time. A little-known supplement that has been gaining in popularity, Spermidine, has been shown to help protect against age-related diseases, including heart disease and dementia. 

Interestingly, it’s also thought to improve autophagy, the process the body uses to clean out damaged cells and regenerate healthy, new cells. To hear more on autophagy, check out last week’s podcast!

Amazingly, spermidine has also been shown to improve memory and cognitive function, and even help with healthy liver function. With so many potential health benefits, it’s no wonder that spermidine is gaining some serious attention in the functional medicine world.

Join me today as I unpack this little-known powerhouse and why it’s soaring in popularity.

#74 Looking for Proven Ways to Create Younger Cells, Slow Aging, Prevent Cognitive Decline, and Avoid Cancer? Welcome to Autophagy!

It sounds too good to be true...turning back the clock on aging. But it's a natural process that your body does every day. The only problem is that this process slows down as we get older. How ironic - our "anti-aging system" doesn't work so well as we age.

Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, so that it can make newer, healthier cells. And it’s incredibly beneficial to your overall health.

Autophagy is a mechanism that your body uses to remove the dysfunctional cells and recycle parts of them toward cellular repair and cleaning.

It's like your body's way of taking out the garbage and the recycling in order to keep all your systems running smoothly. Just like hitting a reset button on your body. And the great news is that you can develop simple habits that will improve your body's autophagy processes and truly slow the clock on age-related illnesses and aging. Listen in today to learn how!
