Last week, we covered the first 3 principles of the Seven Tenets. In this episode, we complete the set: Tenet 4 is Quality Control: how cells repair damaged DNA and proteins, and clean up waste through autophagy. Tenet 5 is Immune Balance: why a bad immune system increases the risk of chronic inflammation, infections, and cancer. Tenet 6 is Cellular Characteristics: each cell type, like brain, bone, or skin, has its own lifespan and nutritional needs.
And Tenet 7 is Waste Management: how advanced glycation end products (AGEs), the sugar-related junk, are stopped and cells kept clear.
The podcast concludes with a focus on glycation and its detrimental effects on health, highlighting the need for effective waste management in the body. She discusses various aspects of health, longevity, and the role of supplements and pharmaceuticals in maintaining well-being. She highlights the critical role of sirtuins in cellular health and longevity, the importance of sleep and circadian rhythms, and the interaction between AMP kinase and mTOR in energy regulation.
She emphasizes the importance of understanding the mechanisms behind aging and how to mitigate damage through lifestyle choices and targeted interventions. The discussion covers topics such as trans-glycosylating agents, the impact of diet soda, navigating toxins in modern life, the use of GLP-1 agonists, and her unique approach to supplement recommendations through the Kaufmann rating system. She shares her personal experiences with medications and supplements, highlighting the importance of a multifactorial approach to health.
