Eat the Rainbow And Other Longevity Practices with Serena Poon

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I am joined by Serena Poon, a celebrity chef and certified nutritionist who’s the founder of Just Add Water, a wellness line of super-nutrient foods and supplements.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Serena incorporates soul wisdom into opening up pathways to great health and longevity while also using cutting-edge science. One of the most important areas is gut health, which affects our immune system, our mind, our mood and our behavior. Having a healthy gut is the key to longevity. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She recommends eating the rainbow – ingesting all different types of fruits and veggies along with lots of water to stay hydrated. It’s also important to measure your biomarkers like food intolerance, allergies, nutrient density, hormones and thyroid levels to manage deficits.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mindset is also critical to longevity. We usually want to stay in a safe or comfortable space in our health practices. But it’s important to break out of cycles that we’ve established to break through to better health and longevity. Only then can we radiate tremendous good health.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[5:47] Serena’s story of caring for her mother</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[11:04] Why gut health is important</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[12:24] The comfort of familiar versus unfamiliar</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[14:32] David Sinclair and longevity medicine</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[17:11] Survival stress on plants</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[18:58] Key biomarkers</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[21:35] Healing effects of Irish sea moss</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[30:24] The importance of detoxing</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[35:21] Matcha and maca</span></p> <p> </p>
