Wylde On Health: Seeking Healthspan – Détails, épisodes et analyse

The human body is designed for various physical movements such as pushing, pulling, jumping, squatting, lifting, running, and walking. These movements are made possible by our muscles. However, when we talk about muscle mass, the common image that comes to mind is lifting heavy weights at the gym. Interestingly, muscle mass tends to decrease by around 3-8% per decade after the age of 30, and this decline becomes even more pronounced after reaching 60. Instead of focusing solely on "getting bigger," it is crucial for individuals to adopt the mindset of maintaining their muscle mass throughout their lives to avoid its loss.The involuntary loss of muscle mass, strength, and function is a primary cause of disability in older adults. Research has shown that muscle mass is inversely related to the risk of death, and individuals with sarcopenia (defined as the loss of muscle mass and strength) may experience a 60% higher relative risk of death compared to those without sarcopenia.In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Jonny Bowden, a board-certified nutritionist and renowned expert on fat loss and healthy aging. With his no-nonsense, myth-busting approach, Dr. Bowden has been a sought-after guest on numerous television shows and a popular keynote speaker at various events, including Beijing University and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. He has also been featured in documentaries such as "Fat Fiction" and "Heart of the Matter." Furthermore, Dr. Bowden is the best-selling author of several books, including "The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth," "The Most Effective Ways to Live Longer," and the groundbreaking book "The Great Cholesterol Myth," co-authored with the late cardiologist Dr. Steven Sinatra.Our guest experts for this episode are Larry Kolb and Shawn Baier. Larry is the co-founder and President of TSI Group LTD. He currently serves as the President of the Innovative Products Division at TSI and has a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Arizona State University. Larry's extensive experience includes roles as Vice President of Charles Bowman and Co. and Marketing Manager for Nurture, Inc. He is also an advisory board member for the United Natural Products Alliance, Nutrition Business Journal, and the University of Montana's World Trade Center.Shawn Baier, the Chief Operating Officer for MTI Biotech and the VP of Business Development Innovative Products Division at TSI, is our other guest expert. He holds a Master of Science degree from Iowa State University and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Iowa. Shawn's career at MTI Biotech began in 1997 as a Research Scientist, where he supervised external research projects focused on HMB and muscle performance. He played a key role in overseeing a year-long NIH/NIA funded research study that explored the benefits of an HMB-containing nutritional supplement on muscle mass and function in older adults.A sneak peek: what exactly is myHMB? It stands for beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine that plays a crucial role in preserving muscle tissue. Proteins are vital to our bodies, and amino acids are the building blocks that make up proteins. Leucine is one of these amino acids and is classified as one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), along with isoleucine and valine. Leucine is the most potent activator of protein synthesis among all amino acids. Our cells can sense the levels of leucine, and in response, initiate protein synthesis.HMB is a metabolite of leucine that acts as a helper to maintain and repair muscles. While leucine is present in most proteins, it is challenging to consume enough protein through diet alone to

Previous research has shown that children of centenarians – those who live to see their 100th birthday and beyond - have markedly reduced rates of heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension compared to people born around the same time who do not have a centenarian parent. Now, a new study, co-authored by School of Public Health, researchers have found that children of centenarians also COGNITIVELY age better compared to older adults without familial longevity. The study was published online in the Journal of Gerontology and it suggests that there are familial factors that may be associated with slower cognitive aging.

A sense of meaning and direction in life is also highly associated with living longer and experiencing less disease, disability, and cognitive impairment. In research done at Boston University School of Medicine, scientists found that the children of centenarians are also much more likely than the general population to have a strong sense of purpose.

On this episode, Caitlyn Vanderhaeghe, Children's Nutrition expert and President & CEO of KidStar Nutrients, discusses all things kid-healthy with a special focus on iron deficiency.

Tea has been used for thousands of years to help everything from the common cold, digestive complaints, and headaches owing largely to its impressive antioxidant content which is also incredible for heart and brain health. The health benefits of tea are wide ranging beyond its medicinal effects and is often used for metabolic regulation, mood enhancement, and improved energy. But it’s also the preferred beverage of the Blue Zones where those who tend to live beyond 100 years old are revered as centenarians. Published research has shown that drinking tea at least three times a week is linked with a longer and healthier life!

Todays special guest is Nigel Melican. Nigel has spent 40 years as a tea technology consultant, he’s processed tea on six continents, and he is one of the most accomplished tea professionals on the planet. He is also prolific tea drinker, fit, and still working at the YOUNG age of 81,

Nigel schools us on all things Graviola Tea which may just be a secret to healthspan!

Aging is a natural biological process that occurs in all living creatures. In humans, the speed at which you age depends on a number of internal and external factors, such as nutrition, lifestyle, physical and mental stress, the environment, and genetics. In fact, variations in your genes can influence how well you manage all the factors that ultimately influence your aging process.

This podcast is focuses on skin health because it is the most visible aspect of aging. It also mirrors to some degree how we are aging from the inside out. If we want to add healthspan to our skin and the rest of our body, optimal nutrition is probably one of the most important areas of focus.

On this episode we discuss heart health as it relates to healthspan but not in the conventional manner that you’d think. We aren’t discussing cholesterol, blood pressure, or hardening of the arteries. It turns out that monitoring the beat to beat variation and the time intervals between heart contractions, however, provides an incredibly valuable window into what is going inside our body, possibly AS important as our expected lifespan. This biofeedback healthspan hacking measure is known as heart rate variability.

We will also discuss how we are all connected on a global scale of synchronization through a global information field that has a lot to do with the heart.

He is Director of Research of the HeartMath Research Center at the HeartMath Institute. As a psycho-physiologist, his research interests include the physiology of emotion, heart-brain communication and the global interconnectivity between people and the earth’s energetic systems. Findings from this research have been applied to the development of many educational programs and technologies to optimize individual and organizational health, performance, and quality of life.
