Episode 70 is out!  Level Up Your Meditation Practice with Muse's Ariel Garten.

I've been meditating for about 4 years now pretty religiously and it's truly changed my life.  I am more self-regulated, I sleep well, I make sound decisions...then there are all the studies out there to show other benefits including:

🌟In a 2012 study, researchers compared brain images from 50 adults who meditate and 50 adults who don’t meditate. Results suggested that people who practiced meditation for many years have more folds in the outer layer of the brain. This process (called gyrification) may increase the brain’s ability to process information.*
🌟A 2013 review of three studies suggests that meditation may slow, stall, or even reverse changes that take place in the brain due to normal aging.*
🌟Results from a 2012 NCCIH-funded study suggest that meditation can affect activity in the amygdala (a part of the brain involved in processing emotions), and that different types of meditation can affect the amygdala differently even when the person is not meditating.*

*from the National Center For Complimentary and Integrative Health https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/meditation-in-depth

Today I welcomed back Phil Micans, Pharmacologist, Co-Founder and Vice President of Profound Health and Anti-Aging Systems.

We went deep on how peptide bioregulators work in the body, and even talked about dosing and specific bioregulators and what they do including Thymus, and Pineal and more.  This was such a great & informative interview.  Many who know what peptide bioregulators are, want to understand how to take them and how they work.  If you don't know what they are, go back to my podcast episodes 58 & 67. 

This episode Phil breaks down a few of the more popular ones, tells us what action they have on the body and what they can do for us.

This week I welcomed my guest Kristine Fredheim where we talked all things relating to psychics, mediums, energy, intuition and our own spiritual awakening.  Kristine is the real deal and she even went into how to recognize a true psychic vs a scam - we've all wondered this, haven't we?  She provides great insight into all of this and I really enjoyed our conversation.

You can connect with Kristine on her website here https://kristinefredheim.com.  She is also active on Instagram here:  https://www.instagram.com/kristine.fredheim/.

Dr. Lawrence has a Jurisprudence Degree (UCLA-Law), an MS in Psychology and a Ph.D. in Nutrition. Since 1990 his focus has been on slowing and reversing human biological aging. He has developed numerous science-based protocols focused on optimal aging for health professionals and individual clients.  

Presently Dr. Lawrence is the administrator of two clinical studies to determine if human biological age can be reversed. At the time of our interview, Dr. Lawrence was 74 years old chronologically, but 35 years old biologically, based on his telomere length.

That is what we talk about today - telomeres.  This is part one of two on Dr. Lawrence's clinical studies - 
Part 1 - Telomere Length and Aging 
Part 2 - DNA Methylation and Aging

I am always eager to hear of preventative measures or prolonging wellness measures.  Often we find in  orthopedics, it is reactive rather than proactive, and then there is no choice but to replace that hip or that knee.

Why do we all assume that arthritic pain is simply a degenerative condition, inevitable for so many as we get older?

Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, an incredibly well-accredited orthopaedic physician (with many additional credentials in longevity) & head of the Boulder Longevity Institute, is changing this narrative and helping those with osteoarthritis and chronic pain in ways the majority of these physicians don't even consider.

We get into all of it here - inflammation, what might be inflammatory markers, peptides and how they come into play and so much more.

If you suffer with arthritis, or even think you have the beginnings of arthritis, this is a must listen.  To get in contact with Dr. Yurth and her team, contact The Boulder Longevity Institute.

Today I sat down with Jennifer Arthurton, a former corporate executive, who is an expert at helping women reinvent their lives during midlife when they no longer feel their vibe. 

We talked about it all - how women face this stigma as they get older, and most importantly, how we can regain our vibe and our power back.

I love to connect with like-minded women who are doing everything they can to age better and change the narrative that getting older means you're aging out.  Jennifer is one of these vibrant women that leads the way in successful aging.  Oh, and by the way, she's also a fabulous fellow podcaster which you can listen to here:  https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/old-chicks-know-sh-t-podcast/id1461186926

"It's difficult to go into the places inside where we don't want to go," Mark Wolynn.

We all experience trauma throughout our lives - some of it maybe inherited from long before we were even born.  What's most fascinating is the way these traumas can impact our lives; but the road back to wellness and balance is possible.

Mark Wolynn is the author of It Didn't Start With You:  How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle, the book that so many are still talking about 5 years later.  Mark's book explains how various traumas can live in our unexplained symptoms of anxiety or depression or other issues we may have.  The book also provides hands on, self-guided training to help you overcome and heal from your own trauma.

I loved our interview as Mark provides and explains so many insights into this neuroscience.

Not only is Mark Wolynn a bestselling author, he is also the Director of The Family Constellation Institute in San Francisco, and a world leader in the field of Inherited Family Trauma.  He provides online training as well.  You can get in touch with Mark here at www.markwolynn.com.
