About The Guest(s):
Dr. Carl Giordano is an orthopedic surgeon and spine surgeon with a background in chemistry. He is also a nutritional biochemist and has been studying the field of aging and health span for over 20 years. Dr. Giordano is the co-founder of Rebasana, a company that aims to provide comprehensive supplements to help slow down the aging process and maintain cellular identity.
​
Summary:
Dr. Carl Giordano discusses the importance of maintaining cellular identity to slow down the aging process. He explains that aging occurs when genes are turned on and off incorrectly in every cell, leading to a loss of cellular identity. Dr. Giordano emphasizes the importance of health span, which refers to living a healthy life for as long as possible, and how it is connected to lifespan. He also highlights the need for a shift from sick care to preventive care in the healthcare system. Dr. Giordano introduces the three main buckets that contribute to maintaining cellular identity: exercise, signal molecules, and diet. He explains that exercise affects telomere length, DNA repair, antioxidant defense, inflammation, immune function, and metabolic health. Dr. Giordano breaks down exercise into four categories: strength training, aerobic conditioning, balance function, and stretching. He emphasizes the importance of hitting all four categories to maintain overall health. Dr. Giordano then discusses the role of signal molecules, such as NMN, resveratrol, berberine, quercetin, and ostragalis, in maintaining cellular identity. He explains that these molecules work on various genetic pathways and have been shown to slow down or even reverse aspects of aging. Dr. Giordano concludes by discussing the importance of understanding the science behind aging and making informed decisions about diet, exercise, and supplementation.
​
Key Takeaways:

• Aging occurs when genes are turned on and off incorrectly in every cell, leading to a loss of cellular identity.
• Health span refers to living a healthy life for as long as possible, and it is connected to lifespan.
• The three main buckets that contribute to maintaining cellular identity are exercise, signal molecules, and diet.
• Exercise affects telomere length, DNA repair, antioxidant defense, inflammation, immune function, and metabolic health.
• Exercise should include strength training, aerobic conditioning, balance function, and stretching.
• Signal molecules, such as NMN, resveratrol, berberine, quercetin, and ostragalis, can help maintain cellular identity and slow down the aging process.

In Episode 66 we talk to CEO and President of Humentum, Christine Sow

How do we do global development better? The UN sustainable development goals, which are a key lens for this show, are being actively worked on by literally thousands of for profit, non-profits and other non-governmental organisations but how to enable these organisations to deliver on their objectives

Humentum serves the organisations tackling Global Development firstly by helping them achieve operational excellence, learning from what has worked elsewhere, however understanding that success in one locale won't always translate in another in what they term 'locally led development'

To drive operational efficiency Humentum helps the NGOs across 4 key pillars 

1. Institutional Architecture (how are they setup)
2. People
3. Funding & Financial Systems
4. Risk & Compliance

Critically, People, as the primary asset of the organisation need a deep and broad set of skills to drive engagement and action and how we attract, retain and compensate those people to ensure success in a globally competitive talent context. This is especially relevant in a world where the people on the ground, where the development opportunities are are often paid entirely differently simply because of the country/city they work from. Additionally Humentum works closely with the organisations, their funders and their people to develop their skills and resilience specifically in the context of the delivery of their services.

In this episode we talk to Pinar Akiskalioglu, founder of TAKK about Personal Care and the impact on us and the environment of the status quo.

An industry that has grown continually since its emergence in the mid 50s the Personal Care market has long thrived on creating new, unnecessary products and selling them by creating confusion and insecurity.  Pinar spent years working inside the industry before deciding to return to her entrepreneurial roots by setting up TAKK.

TAKK is built on a platform of removing microdecisions from our daily lives so we can invest more time and energy into problems that matter. The challenge in the model is working out how to build an economically sustainable business without resorting to the tactics and levers that define the status quo.

Pinar also breaks down for us the importance of subscription models in unlocking innovation beyond the product (eg packaging, shipping, overall impact etc)

In this episode we talk to CEO & Founder of Love Out Loud about Love and the role it can play in the maximising human potential and happiness. Not love in the romantic sense but as the opposite of fear. We explore the three systems at play in our day to day experience including the nervous system, emotive system and your cognitive function and how these impact our ability as individuals and collectively to be open to new ideas, other people’s experience and personal growth generally.

A fascinating conversation that covers philosophy, change and our sense of self and ego and how we become attached to our identity and our inability to let go holds back our potential for growth and this in turn impacts our ability to collectively solve large problems

So what to do? Well technology is both a large source of the problem and potentially part of the solution. Nicole spells out how the brain technologies we have used to understand people’s emotive state could be extrapolated out to the devices on billions of people’s wrists (smart watches with heart monitors) to help people identify when they are moving into a state of fear or love as the basis for taking action.

In a world of disposable led convenience Caroline and Kelly, as cofounders of Solmates, decided to tackle the problem in a unique and compelling way to try to overcome the constrains and restrictions for a product like sunscreen. We explore how regulation actually drives what options can be used for the packaging that apply to one product (sunscreen) vs another (skincare) and how these somewhat arbitrary constraints required entrepreneurial thinking to circumvent. 

We learn how Kelly’s toddler’s airport meltdown led to a sketch which a design agency used to create a first working product which then led to joining forces with Caroline to work out how to sell and market it. Kelly and Caroline takes us through the raft of challenges in manufacturing and packaging the product so there is 100% alignment with all their core values
