Intro
| 0:00 | often I'm sending papers every every maybe a couple of days I'm sending something that's really relevant and |
| 0:06 | Serena will say pretty much always you have already already read it I've ordered that I've talked to the founder |
| 0:13 | uh and having lunch with that person so she she really is um quite the academic |
| 0:19 | uh and scientist underneath the hood and I think she's okay now with us revealing |
| 0:25 | that side of her I mean it's perfectly complementary to the other work that we do together |
| 0:31 | [Music] |
| 0:51 | hi hey okay yeah so just just as a note it seems like |
| 1:00 | when people go live uh the volume drops your volume sounds great but just double check on your device |
| 1:08 | yeah okay cool great uh so okay so we're we haven't gotten a |
| 1:16 | lot of questions about probably aligned um I'm not sure if you want to start off |
| 1:22 | by telling people a little bit about it we do have questions about diet |
| 1:28 | uh about menopause we're putting we're gonna put these on a list for our |
| 1:33 | um our 300 30s that we're going to continue on our series uh and everyone's telling me telling us |
| 1:40 | where they're from because before you jumped out I was I was asking everyone just like tell us where you're from it's |
| 1:45 | really cool to see that our community is absolutely worldwide and international so we really have people from everywhere |
| 1:51 | on here it's um amazing well so fully aligned came from us meeting a little over a year ago |
About Fully Aligned Co
| 1:58 | we were at a conference scientific conference on longevity and the two of us ended up bumping into each other at |
| 2:04 | dinner and realized you know we really have a lot of in common when it comes to wanting to keep other people healthy and |
| 2:10 | live long and we started sharing our little secrets and found that uh they were really complementary your knowledge |
| 2:16 | is very extensive in areas that I don't know much about and vice versa I'm a |
| 2:21 | molecular biologist and so we've put our heads together and realized we can offer people a lot of information |
| 2:27 | in terms of communication like we're doing now and we're working on some other really interesting projects one of which we're going to talk about today |
| 2:33 | and there's another one I know you're working on in your company which we'll talk about so this is a really exciting |
| 2:39 | uh Instagram live for us because it's not just about nutrition and Longevity |
| 2:45 | it's also about things that we're going to be bringing out under the fully aligned brand yeah yeah so um thank you |
| 2:52 | for that because David's much more concise as you guys know by now I can go on and on and on uh so that was a nice |
| 2:58 | very kind of concise history sum up of uh how it came together what it's for |
| 3:04 | what we're doing uh thank you so much for all of these uh questions that we're |
| 3:10 | going to start sharing uh sneak peeks into some of our projects and also as we |
| 3:16 | kind of lead into full launches for them so okay so let's see we do have some |
| 3:22 | questions uh you might want to answer uh we could tease a little bit about of a |
| 3:27 | podcast or two let's do that okay do you want to talk about that well since |
Lifespan podcast season two
| 3:33 | Serena and I are working on a lot of new Communications uh various Avenues the |
| 3:39 | the podcast Series 2 is being worked on right now and I can promise you we can promise you that it's gonna be bigger |
| 3:46 | and better than it was before so it's taken a while to readjust to rejig to get some uh some new talent and it's |
| 3:52 | going to be really great when we launch this and process we work on this every day so we want to get it out just as |
| 3:59 | quickly as you want to hear it yeah so so that's um you know things kind of take a little bit |
| 4:06 | of like Rebrand and really kind of work out work uh I don't even say Kinks it's just |
| 4:12 | everything is a learning process so all of your feedback here is really exciting and helpful |
| 4:19 | um all of it uh it kind of helps us sort of create co-create what it is that you |
| 4:24 | guys want to hear what you guys want to see uh uh people are asking about what it what |
| 4:30 | does it mean to be fully aligned that's a great question do you want to take a stab at that before I do oh boy |
What does it mean to be fully aligned for us
| 4:36 | this is a dangerous one because this is not my language actually what's fascinating and interesting about Serena |
| 4:44 | and my partnership is that we came together with very different language I would talk about molecules and atoms and |
| 4:50 | and that was my language and three would talk about uh vibrations and energy and |
| 4:55 | alignment and uh so what I believe this is is that the two of us have synchronized with our our goals together |
| 5:04 | and or exactly as I would say on the same page wanting to reach the same Mission which is democratize make |
| 5:11 | available information products uh other things that we're working on that are |
| 5:16 | currently in in stealth mode but the two of us really we connected and we decided |
| 5:22 | to call this company fully alone for that reason and uh and uh you know little things |
| 5:29 | that you guys will reveal over time we've revealed a little bit here and there is so David figured out I'm actually a nerd |
How did David figure out that Serena is a nerd
| 5:36 | so I'm a secret stealth file hacking nerd I read papers on a daily basis and |
| 5:44 | papers as in you know the same type of papers from Sal from PubMed from this is |
| 5:50 | not what I share online yeah but can we can I reveal that now is that |
| 5:56 | is that possible because I think most of you don't know Serena the way I've gotten to know her |
| 6:02 | um in the sense that often I'm sending papers every every maybe a couple of days I'm sending something that's really |
| 6:09 | relevant and Serena will say pretty much always I ordered that I've talked to the |
| 6:16 | founder uh I'm having lunch with that person so she she really is um I the |
| 6:22 | academic uh and scientist underneath the hood and I think she's okay now with us |
| 6:27 | revealing that side of her I mean it's perfectly complementary to the other work that we do together and together we |
| 6:34 | we believe we can bring you information that'll give you not just longer life but much better healthier enjoyable |
| 6:40 | productive life as well yeah thank you for that and um no I'm |
| 6:45 | okay with that being shared now my community knows that I can be kind of ready um I'm not sure if uh your community and |
| 6:51 | our co-committee know that because there are questions about different products that are on my site different things |
| 6:56 | that I talk about and uh it's when we're talking you know fully aligned the way |
Serena on what is Fully Aligned Co
| 7:02 | my practice has worked it's a little bit of everything it is holistic in that and I would say holistic |
| 7:10 | w-h-o-l-i-s-t-i-c and so it is the physical body um and it is the the emotional body it |
| 7:17 | is the the energetic body so to speak and you'll see some of that information in my site you'll see some of that in |
| 7:24 | the content I produce and that's also and there's actually a lot more science um and research behind that that then |
| 7:31 | we've maybe shared up to date so far that we will bring a lot more of that |
| 7:38 | sort of tangible uh research evidence um two fully aligned and obviously to to |
| 7:45 | my um to my content uh maybe just some content David has some really exciting |
| 7:52 | things to to share and she's as we you know a few more minutes in because we're |
| 7:57 | only about 15 minutes in uh so so that's kind of what it is it's all to it's all |
| 8:03 | kind of brought together there are tangible things that we now have so much research and data on which is how how |
| 8:10 | our how our gut health affects our mind and our mood and you know it goes all |
| 8:15 | the way to you know diseases and so and so the regulation of our our our |
| 8:22 | emotional body you know what I call our emotion of our emotional Wellness our mental Wellness that has that that plays |
| 8:30 | along with um mindset with uh meditation place along is probably not the right word to use but you know that kind of it |
| 8:37 | all kind of comes together and then that affects our physical body so that's a lot of what we talk about David and ion |
| 8:44 | also comes from um it's what I talk about so sometimes I include |
| 8:50 | tangible um products and different items for people |
| 8:56 | to connect to that sort of uh that type of mentality that belief and it really |
| 9:02 | it really becomes a supportive tool I wouldn't say it's the same as a book but tools or tools so there will there will |
| 9:10 | there will be a book we need to capture your brain in a book so that everyone |
| 9:15 | um so let's reveal some news we and um and answer some questions I've been writing some of these down yeah |
| 9:22 | um I'll go quickly let's let's go ahead so let's go quickly all right so uh one |
Thoughts on one meal a day vs eating window and intermittent fasting
| 9:28 | question um one meal a day highly support it Cindy and I disagree I think that one meal a day is good for me |
| 9:34 | someone my age of 53. I don't need a lot of calories and I really have an enjoyable large meal that's plant-based |
| 9:41 | majority plant-based and I'm off okay I do I mean Serena's gonna say |
| 9:47 | sometimes I do have maybe a little bit of uh Sushi occasionally I'm a struggling vegan okay |
| 9:54 | do you actually do one meal a day most days with well I have well when I'm with |
| 10:01 | you you're always giving food to me so that's not fair but when I'm alone |
| 10:07 | and I I would eat uh maybe some nuts and chocolate in the afternoon to get |
| 10:12 | through I've not eaten anything today so all right because we both believe in sort of in uh |
| 10:20 | giving her giving our digestive system space so we both are a big believer in fasting and intermittent fasting |
| 10:27 | I believe in an eating window because I don't think that it's always possible to |
| 10:34 | get all the nutrients that we need in one meal so an eating window that allows |
| 10:40 | a space to maybe so maybe the one large meal is extended over a period of couple |
| 10:46 | hours sometimes maybe uh but it's really about everything that David has shared |
| 10:52 | about why you just have that one meal why we fast how that's beneficial it's also super important that you get in the |
| 10:59 | nutrients that your body needs in that meal if you can do it excellent right |
| 11:04 | and if you can't then make sure that you do in a short eating window so how's |
| 11:10 | that good and we will devote a whole live at least to the plan versus meat |
| 11:17 | debate it's out there a lot of people are confused why what's the data on why plants might be better I I prefer plants |
| 11:25 | because I've seen a scientific evidence and it works for my body I measure things so do you see but we'll cover |
| 11:31 | that it's too long to go into in detail today because we've got other things to talk about as well yeah a lot of people |
NMN and its effect on the microbiome
| 11:37 | asking about nmn um I tweeted out that anime affects the microbiome we have a |
| 11:42 | paper that just got published from my uh sister lab in Australia and |
| 11:48 | quickly the answer is that when you swallow any man it gets metabolized by the microbiome at lower in the gut so it |
| 11:56 | gets absorbed higher in the gut there's no microbiome it gets absorbed directly so it's different as to where so first of all |
| 12:02 | it's going in directly absorbed lower down microbiome changes it |
| 12:07 | and it gets absorbed differently and that's all in the paper the bottom line is we know now from Human studies |
| 12:13 | they're being published that when you take an amend a gram or two grams it's so far very safe and you raise your NAD |
| 12:20 | levels which is the molecule you want to boost for anti-aging potential effects goes up by about twofold and so we can |
| 12:27 | argue about how it gets in but the fact is it does get in okay and I'd like to just make a note on |
| 12:34 | um the gram or two grams everybody's different um is it just if you guys are taking it |
| 12:41 | you know and you're taking it from you know I know that we get a lot of questions about |
| 12:47 | manufacturers and Brands and you know we've been we've talked about why we |
| 12:52 | don't share that for those of you out there who are taking nmn just be really conscientious of who's making it |
| 13:00 | um you can do your own research on checking uh about the transparency of those companies and whether or not |
| 13:06 | that's a good clean product and then just also just be mindful that everybody's different so sometimes you |
| 13:12 | have to titrate up which means maybe you don't start off at a gram um you start off at 250 or 500 and you |
| 13:19 | kind of work your way up everybody's response to is different male versus female it's different your age that all |
| 13:25 | matters and so more is not necessarily better so I just want everyone to |
| 13:32 | remember that it's what your body needs and the maximum that your body needs for |
| 13:38 | the maximum results is what serves you so um |
| 13:43 | we're gonna rapid fire on your own I've got lots of questions here okay um so |
NMN side effects
| 13:50 | uh yeah there's no known side effects no negative side effects it's FDA approved |
| 13:55 | for clinical trials so far there's been no evidence I want to be the first person to know if there's any safety |
| 14:01 | issues in animals or in humans and on at this moment and you'll be the first to know if I do find anything like that |
| 14:07 | because I need to know I'm taking it Serena's taking it my dad's taking it so we want to know if there's anything |
| 14:12 | wrong so far nothing like that um lowering CRP somebody asked that's |
| 14:17 | the inflammatory molecule that you can measure for a cardiovascular disease you can lower that by eating foods that are |
| 14:22 | anti-inflammatory I take I take omega 3 6 and 9 fatty acids uh daily as well to |
| 14:29 | try and bring down that inflammation anything else to read on that yes just take out inflammatory |
| 14:35 | um substances from your life so you know there's a question about alcohol and sugar and obviously processed foods |
| 14:42 | these are all things that can raise your inflammatory markers so if you take them out then your markers will naturally |
| 14:49 | lower uh without you having to even take anything in so so there's that there's a |
| 14:55 | lot of questions about supplements I think you know we talk a lot we talk a lot about anime almost every single time |
| 15:00 | we chat so maybe like let's are there questions that you down that aren't |
| 15:05 | um last thing on nmn uh we will have |
| 15:10 | announcements about anime later in the year um but yeah we're both working on things |
| 15:16 | uh together and separately that will satisfy the Curiosity and also the need for non-purity about these substances |
| 15:24 | because some of them have endotoxin we've found in my lab at Harvard which is kind of scary so we're working on |
| 15:29 | that stay tuned we have other announcements today though we want to get to yeah so stay tuned in that we |
| 15:35 | will also probably address Resveratrol and foreman and burgering lots of questions on that I see them and we will |
| 15:42 | address this and yes I still take physique and chrisseton um they're good as uh someone activators |
| 15:49 | and say analytics but I'm going to Serena let you pick some questions for us to answer |
| 15:58 | related to supplements um because they talk about that a lot |
| 16:05 | um work is ongoing glaucoma we're testing now ready for safety testing in humans |
| 16:12 | hopefully by next year we'll cure aim to cure blindness in people without age reversal system one thing that's really |
| 16:19 | cool is in the lab we're looking at ways to reverse aging not just with gene therapy but with chemicals and we've |
| 16:25 | made some real breakthroughs there stay tuned for that yes yes great uh what |
| 16:31 | else is there there's some questions about Quantum I would say if you have questions about Quantum then go to we've done a series |
| 16:39 | with uh with a company called River Quantum and they actually have uh some scientific uh evidence on how the |
| 16:48 | frequencies and the energy can actually affect changes in our blood and they have evidence for that so they've got |
| 16:53 | all the data they've got papers you can go check it out there uh a lot so that hopefully will address the questions |
| 17:00 | about uh energy and Quantum and we will share David's personal experiences on another AMA but know that they're there |
| 17:09 | um oh someone asked about the website of our new partnership so website is being built in the meantime we have sort of a |
| 17:16 | landing page it's a temporary site uh and it's with David and serena.com |
| 17:23 | yeah okay so it's David and serena.com it's really just just something for you |
| 17:29 | guys to go to to get some basic information you can always uh message us |
| 17:34 | I know that we get a lot of messages we don't always get a chance to answer all of them um in uh direct messages texting kind of |
| 17:41 | works because we get less people that go through the effort of texting so those questions uh get seen earlier |
| 17:49 | um you can also sign up of course on our optimized longevity series uh to that |
| 17:55 | newsletter we get those as well um but the site is temporary uh it's being built |
| 18:01 | we we for some reason didn't really think about that before before we announced it we did but we have a |
| 18:07 | temporary site yeah I've got some things I want to uh jump in on yes the site was |
| 18:12 | great Serena's team did a great job I cannot take credit for any of it on stem cells we're looking into it Serena and I |
| 18:18 | actually traveled the world to other parts of the world looking at what's going on we'll have a whole section |
| 18:24 | devoted to that later we think it's really promising but there's a lot of bunk out there so we've been looking for the best in the world and what's real |
| 18:31 | we're also researching this at Harvard I'll tell you about that later CT scan someone else um C scans are break they |
| 18:37 | break DNA and we have a paper that is going to come out in a big Journal that shows that broken DNA accelerates aging |
| 18:44 | dramatically so try to avoid any excessive radiation that you can x-ray CT scans unless it's for medical reasons |
| 18:51 | and your doctor says you should have it uh don't don't go there try to avoid all radiation because that will Aid you our |
| 18:58 | paper will show and that that paper is coming out pretty soon yeah it's a 13-year study about how to control aging |
| 19:05 | forwards and backwards in the same individual and I think we've got a really good handle on why we age |
Inflammatory markers and how to lower them
| 19:11 | and as I say in my book why we probably don't have to age |
| 19:16 | and and when can we maybe expect that |
| 19:22 | um is that safe to say I know that the publication well it's provisionally accepted into |
| 19:29 | one of the world's top journals uh we're submitting a cover design for the for our and uh you know I don't want to jinx |
| 19:36 | it but it's going to be one of the biggest most comprehensive papers that have ever been published in that journal |
| 19:41 | 13 years of work 60 scientists 15 Labs uh around the world to make this happen |
| 19:47 | and it's finally coming out the first author almost quit because it was so hard and I told him just don't quit |
| 19:54 | fortunately uh he didn't and it's uh it's one of the biggest discoveries of my entire career super excited to share |
| 20:01 | it with you you'll see that we think we've understood finally what a major driver of the aging process is and how |
| 20:07 | we can actually reverse that very quickly within just a matter of weeks yeah so that's super super exciting you |
| 20:14 | guys and um and well and I don't think there's a need to rewind because I'm thinking everyone on here is going to be |
| 20:20 | ready and waiting for that but we will we will definitely um give you some reminders when it comes |
| 20:25 | out and probably do a full uh even longer chat on that once it does |
Does NMN help with testosterone?
| 20:33 | oh you're gonna you're gonna be upset I think I I thought does any man help with testosterone quick answer is looks like |
| 20:40 | it does uh I've personally experienced this um and so you have to you should |
| 20:45 | measure it if you're taking in a minute so in the seven eight years that you've been taking nmn you're going to reveal |
| 20:52 | the the up levels we'll do that another episode so um so I have some questions here uh real |
| 20:59 | quick there's a lot of questions about some brand of Metformin again we do not |
| 21:05 | um Advocate uh you know brands for supplements like that I would say go to |
| 21:10 | our trusted resources so we have some uh some um |
| 21:15 | Brands Partners we have there are there are some people that we really stand |
| 21:20 | behind and stand with uh and that's under our trusted resources under optimized longevity so if you go there |
| 21:27 | you will see and if you go there right now you'll see um that there's a company that we're |
| 21:33 | gonna share about real actually well we should talk about my app and supplements and then we'll talk about that we'll |
| 21:39 | kind of leave that as our last thing we chat we might go over 30 minutes but if you go to our trusted resources then |
| 21:45 | you'll see um who we stand with uh and um and if it's not on there then |
| 21:51 | I would say that probably answers your question at least for now okay um some quick ones um lots of questions |
| 21:57 | about metformin uh oh oh can I real quick just because I |
| 22:03 | don't want to let too much time your comments about CT scans what I wanted to add on to those as |
Serena about CT scans
| 22:10 | David said sometimes it's necessary so if it's absolutely necessary you know someone that you love is in the hospital |
| 22:15 | there's reasons someone talked about um they need it for you know their parents have cancer do it if it's necessary it's just like |
| 22:23 | don't do it if it's not necessary you can't be worried about what it's doing to your body if you're in an acute |
| 22:30 | um situation and the doctors are saying and of course there are times that maybe it's not necessary the doctors just want |
| 22:36 | to do extra um but you know when it is and so don't not do it got it |
| 22:42 | um okay so um I was talking about metformin yeah one gram a day for me you want to talk to your doctor you want to |
About Metformin
| 22:49 | because it's a medicine in at least in Western countries uh I'll talk about the counter at other in other countries you |
| 22:54 | need a prescription there are companies online that can give you a prescription if you're interested but make sure you |
| 23:00 | do it with supervision because everyone's different some people are very sensitive um their blood levels can grow go low |
| 23:06 | yeah glucose some people feel sick um I take some food with it usually to |
| 23:12 | try and stop that sick feeling but there was a lot of science we'll go into it again in another episode about what |
| 23:18 | metformin seems to do guys just reducing blood sugar I know everyone's curious and keep following us keep showing up |
| 23:24 | for these lives because we will dive in a lot more deeply and a lot more frequently now yeah um and I know and |
| 23:30 | also with the berberine you know questions about that and then there are things that you can also |
| 23:37 | um uh take together with metformin's to offset some of you know some of the side |
| 23:43 | effects that some people may experience I don't I take it I don't have any any side effects from it but |
| 23:49 | um your body tells you so you know if you're if you're taking it and you experience this if you're it depending |
| 23:55 | if you're taking the evening or during the day you know if there's a little bit too much sweating if there's if there's dizziness if there's light headedness it |
| 24:02 | might be taking too much reprimination you want to do with a doctor in very low doses be careful it's |
| 24:08 | a drug that can be toxic to your kidneys so that little doctor prescribed as well but the date is really good on it in |
| 24:16 | animals and early studies and clinical trials that it can mimic really deep fasting and may promote longevity but |
| 24:23 | it's right on the edge of of The Cutting Edge where you need to be under doctor's supervision yeah and something that I'd |
| 24:29 | like to also add is a big part of what I do is taking a look at what we take in that's beneficial for us in these ways |
| 24:35 | XYZ but then where might it not serve our body as well and then how we can complement that so uh some of these |
| 24:43 | things are medication and they may cause some uh uh nutritional deficiencies in |
| 24:49 | some ways and help us in these ways so it's about what you tip together so that you maximize on benefits all around so |
| 24:56 | those are the things we'll be talking about more as well all right I metformin and bubbling can be taken together |
| 25:02 | so we'll talk about that I saw a question um I've been invited to go visit Easter Island where uh rapamycin was discovered |
| 25:09 | you want to come with me maybe we'll we'll consider that one and do a live from there are you are you inviting me |
| 25:15 | let me think about it okay okay so let's talk about a couple |
| 25:21 | other things you know we have a couple other things that we need to uh that we mentioned in our caption that we're |
| 25:26 | going to share uh one of them that for those of you that are part of my community you know that uh there's an |
| 25:32 | app coming out so and David got a chance to have a sneak peek in that app uh and right now |
| 25:40 | just kind of going to the beta Community you can share about your thoughts on the app well what I love about it is that it |
Serena’s latest launch
| 25:45 | took me on a journey uh I was asked very simple questions about what I'm looking |
| 25:50 | for what kind of uh health and mindfulness and what kind of person I am what do I like to eat and then it gave |
| 25:58 | me these uh these plans for nutrition meals daily activities that you know to |
| 26:04 | improve your life and really what it is it's basically putting your mind and your personality into an app I don't |
| 26:10 | know how you did it uh but it it you've got a little picture of you there and it does feel a lot like what it's like to |
| 26:17 | meet you and talk to you so I think it's getting people really going to like it for that reason to have intimate contact |
| 26:22 | with you at least through this this app that you've poured everything for the last couple of years into and put your |
| 26:28 | soul into it really uh well no it's actually I have to give I have to give thank you for that I have |
| 26:34 | to give credit to my team it has been two years it's been about one I think gosh time flies I'm not really sure I |
| 26:39 | think it's about a year uh but really my team has been amazing uh and she and |
| 26:46 | that she's they um they've really helped us put this together put help me put this together |
| 26:52 | so right now it's going to go into the Beta Community uh so if you want to be a |
| 26:57 | part of that sort of test Community we'll work out the Kinks uh you can sign up there's a link in my bio you can sign |
| 27:04 | up to uh sort of be one of the first to get access to that uh to that app and it'll go really full and um a full lunch |
| 27:11 | probably towards the end of the year beginning of the year uh and along with that we actually have some supplements |
| 27:19 | um some Therapeutics Therapeutics and nutraceuticals that we are watching at |
| 27:24 | the beginning of the year uh and we are going to release a few of those items |
| 27:29 | just in time for the holidays so during the holidays we have a little bit more |
| 27:36 | stress we're eating a little bit more or maybe breaking our rules hold on one second David looks Frozen |
| 27:41 | oh okay I'm just listening |
| 27:48 | um anyway uh so we have we have it's a holiday bundle basically so we have a |
| 27:54 | tendency to eat a little outside of what David and I talk about so |
| 27:59 | um there'll be some digestive enzymes to help support that uh we're under a little bit more stress because of how |
| 28:05 | they season and sometimes seeing a lot of family vacuum booster so there will be some adrenal support stress support |
| 28:11 | sleep support um all of that will be a part of what we're going to release and launch in the |
| 28:18 | next uh six to eight weeks so you can stay tuned for that [Music] |
Skin and hair secrets
| 28:31 | um skin and hair we'll cover that we've covered it before uh three your hair is |
| 28:36 | is a is a piece of art is uh is what seventh eighth wonder of the world so |
| 28:42 | you I know that you do things for your hair and your skin they're remarkable I I actually know how old you are it's |
| 28:48 | remarkable how you've treated your body and look how you do for me uh I don't dye my hair this is natural I don't have |
| 28:55 | a gray hair actually I had one gray hair but actually three and it's gone now so I don't know |
| 29:02 | so I I do most of my my um anti-aging from the inside with my supplements but |
| 29:07 | I also I use creams that we've developed over the years uh on my face that every |
| 29:13 | night I I put some Resveratrol containing cream on there and uh and that's it there's no plastic surgery |
| 29:19 | trust me uh and Serena your secrets you want to divulge Jenny yeah you know it's |
| 29:25 | thank you so much for your compliments I uh so very similar I've been |
| 29:31 | you know I believe that longevity really kind of starts at the very very beginning we talk about we've talked about this like it starts when you're |
| 29:37 | still in the in the in the womb right um and that's where educating parents moving forward on that uh but everything |
| 29:44 | is from the inside out for me so our diet our lifestyle um obviously some supplements |
| 29:51 | um all of that is what contributes to this which by the way is real they are not extensions you would be able to see |
| 29:57 | them um so we're going to announce a new skin |
| 30:02 | care yes product later so stick with us yes |
| 30:08 | and then also at night to sort of stuff but uh and I actually not as religious |
| 30:14 | about as David is about putting something a cream on my face every single night but I am very religious |
| 30:21 | about using high quality products uh and what I'm putting into my body so what's |
| 30:27 | exciting is that um you know with everything else that we've been doing we actually have a |
| 30:34 | project that we've been working on that is uh geared towards that so we can just |
| 30:39 | tease about it a little bit right now um also no plastic surgery on me I do uh |
| 30:45 | wear eyelashes that you guys can tell aren't real um but everything here is real people |
| 30:51 | somebody said yes you have feelers and I can promise that there's there's no pills in your face no I don't go on with |
| 30:58 | nicely plump shakes you can see yeah I don't do fillers I can show you pictures from when I was um little until gosh |
| 31:07 | definitely in my 30s where I just hold a lot of fat in my face it didn't really |
| 31:13 | serve me until I got older so you kind of just have to wait it out so for all those you out there who have chubby |
| 31:19 | cheeks and you just have a lot of fat in your face it just you know feels like it |
| 31:24 | works against you but then you get older and then you're really happy that you have all that uh let's see a little |
| 31:29 | dysport oh yes yes so I do do that and I'm super open about it I do a little bit of disc warp |
| 31:35 | um but I don't do filler this is just in the face |
| 31:41 | so let's see um no I don't no I don't do that let's see what else is there |
| 31:49 | um we can uh hold on hold on uh okay so I don't I don't see that |
| 31:55 | anymore questions you can ask you can ask me questions though because you pretty much know oh about about your skin well your diet |
| 32:03 | means that your body is naturally healthy and your hair just grows amazingly well |
| 32:09 | um I I was I was skeptical and I'm very very hydrated a lot of hydration too that's true all right somebody else |
About retinoids
| 32:16 | about retinoids I did try Retin-A cream for a while it's up here I've I ran out |
| 32:22 | months ago I'll probably use it again because I think it it does make my skin look better but I'm not sure if it's I |
| 32:28 | use it I do but I'm not sure it's a longevity thing I think it might actually be the opposite because it's |
| 32:34 | making your skin proliferate so I'm I'm on the fence about retinoids if you want to look good quickly use it if you want |
| 32:41 | to look good for a long time I think it's questionable um I use the the percentage is very very |
| 32:47 | low so it doesn't actually make it um so I think we can actually talk about that another time too like to percentages of |
| 32:54 | things um yes we're both plant-based no I've never done a fraxel or later yes we |
| 33:01 | drink alcohol water as much as we can we do but also measure alkalinity levels |
| 33:06 | you don't want to go too offline yeah oh sorry uh uh written I I actually I use |
| 33:14 | it right here and I do maybe it's wrong but I do put it here even under my eyes |
| 33:19 | I've been told that's dangerous but I do it every day when I have it I think it's bad it seems to work for me |
| 33:27 | actually don't do that I don't have I create I do here and there for Darkness |
| 33:34 | under eyes that's usually a liver deficiency so if I ever feel that I've got yeah some Darkness under my eyes I I |
| 33:41 | work on my liver and then it goes away so let's see contacts oh I do wear |
| 33:48 | contacts I mean I'm like negative seven I think um which is something we need to work on |
| 33:54 | so my eyesight can get a little bit better so I do they're based they're the same color and I don't know I don't know |
| 34:00 | if this is doing weird things in my eyes it could be like if you see the lightness in eyes it's definitely the |
| 34:05 | ring light um because I don't think you would see that under a photo oh probably I'll |
| 34:12 | probably need to get contact someday but I'm so far I get get through with goodbye without glasses so what what |
| 34:19 | else can we announce I think we've got some interesting announcements yes okay so I think since we're talking about |
| 34:25 | skin we can we can tease about uh this project that we've been working on uh |
| 34:30 | since if anyone does go to The Trusted resources uh on our optimized longevity |
| 34:37 | site it'll be at the very top of the site so I'm not going to share the name |
| 34:43 | or any of that because people can go there and look but there is a project and you know maybe you can talk a little |
| 34:49 | bit about the project David and then and then we can talk about how we're going to share more next week in full yeah |
| 34:57 | okay this is the first big project that you and I have done together and it was born out of some |
Serena and David's first big project together
| 35:03 | research originally in my lab and then it was spun out into a little uh |
| 35:09 | Boutique company that that works on anti-aging skin products and we we have |
| 35:14 | formed a collaboration with NASA and JPL to find organisms that could help |
| 35:20 | rejuvenate the skin and we found one that can survive in outer space and is highly resistant to ultraviolet |
| 35:26 | radiation which causes aging and we found with the chief scientist whose name is Kyle we'll introduce him another |
| 35:33 | day yeah and he's he's a he's a little genius he uh found that this organism |
| 35:39 | has great properties for rejuvenating skin and protecting it from radiation and he put that into a cosmetic product |
| 35:47 | that we've co-developed Serena nine and we put it in in people and found that it has a variety of rejuvenating properties |
| 35:54 | it reduces uh discoloration of the skin and almost everybody saw I think |
| 36:00 | everybody saw improvements in terms of wrinkles Plumping um and it's actually so popular that I |
| 36:07 | just I don't I don't have any left all of my friends and family and three of you you like to take my extra bottles I |
| 36:13 | don't have any left it everybody has seen improvements I've never seen a product like it in my house before and |
| 36:20 | so we're gonna make this I don't need your bottles okay so you maybe you're giving it to your friends but everybody |
| 36:26 | that tries it once more that's 100 true and we thought that we would use this |
| 36:31 | space technology to make our first product which will be this skin cream that has this age reversal property I'm |
| 36:38 | super excited about it it's really the first consumer product that's come out of my lab in the last 20 years |
| 36:44 | and it's um it's really exciting we're going to dive into a full episode of eye |
| 36:50 | to eye I love it um I have definitely experienced |
| 36:56 | um benefits from it and with all things you know consistent use so you know I |
| 37:01 | know that especially for women um what could be men too we kind of like |
| 37:07 | go through products and something seems super new and and um and you use it for |
| 37:12 | a little bit just with all things like our diet like our fitness like mindfulness meditation this is something |
| 37:18 | that if you're really consistent about it you will I mean it'll it'll change |
| 37:23 | everything so so something that um we can share a lot more about next week |
| 37:28 | when we do we'll do a live and that's part of its now we'll go check it out check out the site look at it I think it |
| 37:36 | might be available for pre-orders right now there's it's limited in quantity you know it's it's there's a lot of sales so |
| 37:42 | it's yeah like it's it's got so many uh so little uh numbers right now it |
| 37:50 | probably will sell out so if you want to get on the pre-orders definitely go do that that's on our link |
| 37:57 | yeah yeah we crafted it in small batches because it's it's really an interesting |
| 38:03 | product made up of key ingredients that you don't find in other products and Kyle and his team had to make the small |
| 38:09 | batches because it's it's basically a crafted artisanal product but it works |
| 38:15 | works great you know of course if it sells out we'll make more don't worry about that but if you want to be the |
| 38:20 | first people to try it I would get on the wait list it's coming out shortly yeah and um and so sort of and you guys |
| 38:28 | are on here so you guys are sort of like the first to even know about that we haven't even announced that publicly at |
| 38:33 | all um but we will give we'll have even more information so you'll get a chance to |
| 38:39 | talk to Kyle and we'll have them on next week I'm not sure what day yet but we will let you know so you want to stay |
| 38:45 | tuned and you want to make sure you follow and do well that will announce when we do that joint live and then and |
| 38:52 | then we can get real nerdy which um I love uh into how they came about |
| 38:57 | with um this special ingredient that we'll share later you can definitely see it on the link |
| 39:04 | um and on the website and you'll have all your we can answer your questions then because that one will just sort of |
| 39:09 | be focused just on this one thing since you guys are super interested in our skin |
| 39:15 | um some people are claiming it regrows hair we'll have to do a clinical trial but it's very powerful from what I can |
| 39:21 | see when I used it it almost immediately it changed what my skin looked like so yeah I mean try it out see what you |
| 39:27 | think I I think it uh it'll be pleased with what you find we've switched over to using it and it's uh it's really |
| 39:34 | quite amazing science that's in there but again we didn't want to talk about it today we're just kind of teasing you |
| 39:40 | but you can get ahead of all the other people next week they'll hear about it well I mean if people are asking about |
| 39:45 | Botox and fillers we need to give them one or two little little secret tells |
| 39:51 | you know since you know that we're a little bit of retinol I don't do it the way you do and and this is definitely |
| 39:56 | one of the things that we're using that we found very helpful uh so I would say |
| 40:01 | yes and of course there's other things as well like hydrations and people ask about light therapy it's never just one |
| 40:08 | thing and I think David and I have been talking about that throughout our series you know it's it's a combination of a |
| 40:14 | lot of things that you do to really optimize your health optimize your longevity however the skin product is |
| 40:20 | one thing that you can do that will really help support that so uh so yeah how you get on the wait list go to the |
| 40:27 | site um how do you get on the side in case somebody doesn't know there's a link yeah so if you go to optimize longevity |
| 40:35 | which is our uh sort of like joint landing page for things we have something called trusted resources and |

| 45:34 | you've done rectal ozone ozone on me yeah done by your energetic testing like oh my goodness because I don't remember |
| 45:40 | that one um no comment on that so finish the ride I am I am taking |
About Finasteride
| 45:47 | finasteride my doctor suggested it and uh Serena you've warned me that it might |
| 45:53 | affect sexual performance is that right I mean with all men medications there |
| 46:00 | are obviously side effects I've already said this and so you know again with all medication there's a |
| 46:06 | benefit that you receive that's what it's designed for and then there's side effects um that can also happen as well so for all things you can always offset |
| 46:13 | it yeah and if you don't know that's to maintain this |
| 46:18 | uh he's taking something so he doesn't lose hair so that's for anyone who doesn't know what he's talking about so |
| 46:25 | it's uh it's to um preempt any type of hair loss which I I |
| 46:31 | don't know that you need that but you can take it yeah okay yeah and so and |
| 46:37 | and again all medications most of all medications have some sort of a side effect and some people are unaffected by |
| 46:43 | it and some people um are so you can always curve that and encounter that uh somebody I said yes I |
Alpha-lipoic acid
| 46:52 | take alphabetic acid I do too it's good for nerves uh it's good for mitochondria energies and I've been taking that for |
| 46:58 | 20 years it's really great yeah it's great I've been taking it for a really long time and there's been some res uh |
| 47:04 | Recent research on people who've had uh covet and how it can help with some of |
| 47:09 | the long-haul neurocognitive side effects included actually we have a whole thing on that that's something that I've been doing a lot of work on |
| 47:16 | for the last two years and so we can spend a whole episode on that as long as we don't get blocked or banned from |
| 47:22 | Instagram for talking about how we can support ourselves after covid Kelly |
