Episode Summary: 

In this episode you will learn more about C60 and why it is becoming one of the most powerful antioxidants available on the market today!  C60 is an antioxidant that is proving to offer an efficacy that is several hundred times over conventional antioxidants.  Research is revealing it can help maximize the positive desired results for cells in the production of energy, but it may also provide cellular protection against many toxic environmental factors we are exposed to everyday. 

Imagine releasing a free radical scavenger into your body that is a natural occurring molecule comprised of 60 carbon atoms that forms something like a hollow soccer ball.  C60 is one of the only molecules known today that has been defined as a single element and can form a spherical cage.  Think of this unique structure like a “free radical sponge” with the ability to neutralize free radicals and reset itself again and again.    

Team Bios:  

Kenneth Swartz  

Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available. 

Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. 

Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor. During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. 

He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. About 8 months after Ken started taking C60, he had a positive experience occur with his health.* But due to FDA regulations, we aren't able to share that information on this site. However, Ken's personal experience with C60 was so profound that he decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and manufacturing of C60 Buckminsterfullerene products. 

In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA. Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health.

She earned an MBA and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Denver.  

After taking C60 for about 12 months, she noticed her body’s response to seasonal allergies was less noticeable, as well as her very painful PMS symptoms. She also noticed a dramatic increase in hair and nail growth, and that her mental clarity and focus were substantially sharper.  

Inspired by her own health journey with C60, she joined Ken in early 2019 to help accelerate his mission to bring C60 to the world.  

Like Ken, she is passionate about helping people and their pets, achieve optimal health, at every age.

Quotes: 

Jessica: What C60 truly is, is it's a molecule of carbon with 60 tiny atoms in it. What we are finding is it works at the cellular level to lift the oxidative burden in people that are dealing with inflammation. 

Kenneth: That's why C60 is characterized as several 100 times more powerful than conventional antioxidants. Because it has the capacity to reset itself. It doesn't need any other chemistry to do that because it can do it by itself. 

Jessica: I heard a statistic the other day that stated most men before leaving their house are exposed to 300 chemicals a day, and most women are exposed to 500 chemicals today. 

Kenneth: We've had people that have taken C60 for a long time, and their average telomere length seems to increase. C60 is not making the telomeres inside the cells longer, but rather wipes out the cellular senescence with very short telomeres.

Episode Summary: 

This episode of YOUNGER the listener will learn the power behind the thyroid gland for good health, it’s unique role in your body system and why it is so significant to your overall health and well-being.  Dr. Robyn Benson discusses the significant hormones it produces and their ability to impact the youthful results most are looking to generate naturally from their regenerative lifestyle.   

Most thyroid issues can NOT be prevented so it is important to isolate any issues related to it early and then begin a good support protocol using natural pathways. The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) tests have been proven to be very accurate because it measures the actual number of thyroid hormones, which is the key indicator to know for the overall thyroid gland is functioning.   

Nonspecific symptoms like being cold or tired might overlap with other conditions, so it can be confusing.  Share any changes in your health with your doctor as the thyroid gland might be your first suspect and as mentioned, early diagnoses would be the goal to begin to support your thyroid naturally without medication.

This miraculous experience inspired him toward an extra-ordinary technology company and team that now serves humanity by giving access to a higher life force for all.

Episode Summary:

Dr. Kyrin Dunston couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her. She thought feeling this way was “normal.” Even her doctors thought she was just making excuses for being overweight. Turns out, no, she was just doing the wrong tests. If you’re a woman in her late 40s, this episode is for you! You need to go beyond the regular tests to really discover what’s going on underneath the hood. You might find that your hormones are sending a completely wrong message to your body!

Guest Bio:

With a successful career in the medical field, from the outside, Dr. Kyrin Dunston looked like she had it all. But on the inside, she was dying. Any spare hour she had was spent sleeping. She was tired, overweight, and her hair was falling out. She was depressed, anxious, and lacked self-confidence. She had stomach issues and low libido, and no matter what she did, all her tests came back “normal.” What was going on? Through functional medicine, Dr. Kyrin was able to regain her life back, bit by bit, and now applies the same principles to help her mid-life clients.

Quotes:

“I said I’m not reading this book! I’m a board-certified OB-GYN, what is this author going to teach me? I had this arrogance, what I call contempt, prior to investigation.”

“Truth is, most doctors in America do the wrong tests and they read them for what’s ‘normal’ which is different from what’s ‘optimal.’”

Quotes:

“We think more means faster results. There is a tipping point and when you reach it, it over-stresses the body.”

“Sumo wrestlers. They generally carry a lot of body fat. They have always followed the intermediate fasting schedule. They eat 1-2 meals a day and they eat it later in the day.”

“Your body can only absorb so much food at a time. If you take on more food than the body can absorb, it stores it as fat.”
