In the latest episode of the Red Light Collective, Sarah and Russ speak with the CEO and founder of MitoLux. After suffering from pre-diabetes, low testosterone, and depression, Gerardo initially turned to traditional medicine, which worked but came with the burden of lifelong medication and its side effects. As an avid reader and researcher in longevity and biohacking, Gerardo discovered the benefits of natural sunlight—a light many doctors advise against. In just four months of regular sunbaths, he turned his health around and got off the meds!

In Sarah's words, "This lamp is more than just a health device; it's a testament to the potential of light therapy to revolutionize personal wellness. It aligns perfectly with our mission at Cera Thrive, to harness the power of science and nature to improve lives."

Leslie Kenny joined Sarah and Russ to share her knowledge around autophagy, and how it could be the next big think for longevity.

Show notes:
When we're young, our tissues and gut microbiota produce a magical substance called spermidine, which triggers autophagy. It is so essential to all life that it is found in high quantities in sperm, breast milk, and all plants, especially the endosperm of seeds, where it helps the next generation survive and grow. As we age, our ability to manufacture spermidine declines, but we can still help our body spark the cellular renewal process by supplementing with food-derived spermidine and the other polyamines that naturally occur with it, such as spermine and putrescine.

About Leslie:
Leslie Kenny is an autoimmune disease survivor and certified health coach. After meeting world-class Oxford scientists with potentially life-changing discoveries, Leslie realized the decade it often takes to get these discoveries from lab to consumer was a decade too long. That's when Primeadine®'s parent company, Oxford Healthspan, was born. She founded Oxford Healthspan to identify anti-aging compounds with strong clinical safety profiles and bring them to market as nutritional supplements. Spermidine is the first of those compounds.

Oxford Healthspan was founded by Leslie Kenny, a Southern Californian entrepreneur and Berkeley and Harvard Business School graduate, whose life was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis in her 30s. When her doctors told her lupus had a life expectancy of 5 years and that rheumatoid arthritis could only be managed, not cured, she set out to optimize her health as best she could using safe, natural solutions.

She went back to school at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC, became a Bulletproof Coach under health pioneer, Dave Asprey, and took on health coaching clients around the world.

At the same time, she began helping life sciences academics at European universities including Oxford, where she lives, to raise money for their discoveries. It was at a meeting with one such scientist that she learned about a natural compound called spermidine, rich in a traditional Japanese dish she had grown up with, natto. Spermidine was showing great promise supporting health as we age. The science was compelling - one scientist even called it 'an anti-aging vitamin' in a published scientific journal - and it was safe, but because it was natural and food-derived and not a drug which would bring in more money, no one was interested in promoting it.

Leslie immediately wanted her octogenarian mother back home in California to take it, especially since natto is very hard to come by (it's quite smelly for one thing!) Unfortunately, spermidine wasn’t available in the US or really even known there. Spotting this unmet need, she decided to bring it to the US herself. Today, at age 57, Leslie is living proof that we can get better with age, so long as we take responsibility for our health and meet our doctors halfway. Primeadine® is part of her anti-aging arsenal and she hopes it will become part of yours too.

Don Moxley joined Sarah and Russ to talk share his knowledge on heart rate variability (HRV). What is it? How do you measure it? How can it help you live longer? Don shares the details with Sarah and Russ and gives them the biohacks to get their HRV moving. Get out of the house, get out and go!

Don Moxley is Director of Applied Science and Brand Development at Longevity Labs Inc. in the United States. Dedicated to helping people live vibrant, fulfilling lives at all ages, Moxley draws upon his career as an athlete, a sports scientist, and an instructor to lead and educate on the science of autophagy and longevity.

Focusing his work on the cell renewal benefits of spermidine supplementation, Don is a regarded longevity science leader known for making the complex simple.

Whether it’s a one-on-one podcast interview heard by thousands, a presentation of research on spermidine to a wellness conference or plain talk to people who want to live their best lives as they grow older, Don makes the science of adding more life to our years immediately understandable.

Throughout his life and career, Moxley has applied science to enhancing well-being. A former captain and Big 10 Championship winner with the Ohio State University wrestling team, Don served as the university’s first sport scientist. By giving athletes the ability to track their progress in strength, cardiovascular and resilience training, he helped the wrestling team win a national title and three Big 10 Championships. He has helped athletes achieve two Olympic metals, four World Championships, seven National Championships and 23 All-Americans.



Topics from today's episode:
We talked Autophagy, the cellular renewal process. It is an evolutionary response to stress. The result of autophagy is elimination of potentially toxic components coupled with the recycling of nutrients contributing to cellular survival. The triggers for cellular autophagy are muted. Spermidine is a molecule found in all the cells of animals and plants. It can be extracted from plants, particularly wheat germ.

Chris Henderson is a qualified ‘Functional Diagnostic Nutrition’ practitioner coaching clients through diet, rest, exercise and stress reduction principles including their exposures to light and how this effects the bodies natural sleep, hormonal and circadian rhythms. Light became an important part of his health equation when in 2016 he used natural light therapy combined with blue light reduction at night to reverse eye-sight issues that had arisen years early from working under artificial lighting and on screens in a busy office environment. This powerful combination helped him reduce his need for prescription glasses to read or work and eventually get rid of them for ever!

Chris joined Sarah and Russ to talk about the massive exposure to ‘Fake Junk Light’ from LED screens and lighting and how it can cause a myriad of adverse symptoms including eye strain, headaches, sleep problems, concentration, behavioral issues and fatigue, as well as contribute to more serious conditions such as cognitive degeneration and cellular health challenges.

Quick tips: At night, turn off your phones, your computer and your blue light devices. In the morning, see the sun and kick-start healthy photobiomodulation.

Biological age diagnostics are radically transforming how we see and tackle aging. As you age, your epigenome links to your DNA and gives it instructions. Every time this happens, it is called a “mark”. These marks don’t change the DNA sequence. Instead, they influence how cells read the DNA.

TruDIagnostics specializes in epigenetic testing and research. It uses key algorithms to explore the epigenome and create powerful individualized longevity reports. Hannah Went, the Director of Operations for TruDiagnostics, shares Sarah and Russ' epigenetic aging reports and aging algorithms to give them a detailed image of biological aging scores and updates them on some suggested treatment frameworks.

Hannah Went is epigenetics enthusiast and the Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic where she has helped implement large scale methylation testing for clinical practices and is coauthor of several upcoming studies about interventions to address biological aging. She is also the host of the Everything Epigenetics podcast. She is also the host of the Everything Epigenetics podcast
