Grounding Protects Your Stem Cells To Improve Your Healthspan

Grounding, Medical Reports / By

  Can grounding help you preserve your stem cells as you age?  The medical literature on grounding suggests that answer is a strong yes. You have a pool of powerful regenerative cells inside your body — particularly in your muscles and bones — that are designed to help you heal, repair, and rebuild throughout your entire lifespan.  As we age, we lose some of our ability to regenerate tissue, maintain muscle, protect bone strength, and recover from injury because our stem cell reserve gets depleted. But something as simple and natural as grounding — just touching the Earth outside — […]

My Top 9 Longevity Tips For You To Feel Your Best

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By

    As I talked about in my last video on aging, aging can be simplified down to a balance between inflammation that accrues over a lifetime vs. your body’s stem cell regeneration. So we can approach longevity by both sides, decreasing inflammation in the body and protecting (even boosting) stem cell function so we can renew and refresh our organ systems for longer.   Graphic shared from: Li, X., Li, C., Zhang, W. et al. Inflammation and aging: signaling pathways and intervention therapies. Sig Transduct Target Ther 8, 239 (2023)   The above graphic comes from this fabulous meta-analysis

Healthy Mindframe, Organic Lifestyle, Soul Healing / By

  Well today I turned 50!  Woot! So here is how I am approaching my very first day of being 50. Or at least how I’ve thought about it in the past few months leading up to it — who knows how I’ll feel a year or two into it.  But for now, my thoughts are this: I don’t want to be an older woman trying to hold onto being young. I always found it depressing to hear  “OMG you’re 50?!?!  You look 10 years younger!”  Or to hear people try to cheer me up by saying “you look FANTASTIC

Slow Down Aging By Staying Hydrated… Especially Important This Spring & Summer

Grounding, Medical Reports, Uncategorized / By

      Known as the Elixir of Life for good reason, water is absolutely critical to our well being in every way. In fact, a new study just published in Jan 2023 in eBioMedicine found that dehydration, measured by how concentrated the salt is in your bloodstream, is actually a risk factor for premature death.  Almost just as bad?  It also accelerated biological aging.  Mean if you run chronically dehydrated, your body is aging faster than your actual chronological age.  And the worst part is that this is with your serum sodium still being in within normal limits —

It’s Never Too Late To Extend Your Life Just By Getting Active

Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By

    Dammit. Now none of us have any excuse to not exercise.     All my life I hated exercising in the traditional sense — I loved playing soccer in school and I loved chasing after my kids as a mom and I love going on long walks after dinner as a middle aged adult… it’s not that I mind being active… but as far as an exercise program, I never could stick to it. Yoga classes, pilates classes, step aerobics classes, running, biking, even trying out a personal trainer… I could just never stick with it because I

Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By

  A new study, published April 11, 2018 in Chronobiology International, found that folks who prefer staying up in the evenings have a 10% higher risk of dying, from all causes of mortality, when compared to those who prefer mornings.   Looking at those who strongly prefer activity in the evenings vs those who strongly prefer activity in the mornings in over 430,000 study participants over a 6 1/2 year time period, researchers found higher nighttime activity resulted in: an increase in diabetes of 30% an increase in psychological disorders (almost doubling the rate at 94% higher incidence!) an increase

Fat Shaming Causes Disease… But It Doesn’t Have To

Healthy Weight, Medical Reports / By

Fat shaming (not obesity itself!) directly increases a person’s risk for metabolic syndrome and subsequent health issues, a new study finds.   And why is there fat shaming in the first place? As I will go over below, there is an incredible wealth of medical research showing that having a higher BMI is actually advantageous to longevity, so there really is no need for our society to have an obesity bias to start with! Certainly dropping this attitude and reducing the internalized stress associated with weight will decrease diabetes risk, heart disease risk and the rate of metabolic disease in
