Episode #153: Leslie Kenny: The Hallmarks of Aging and Polyamines

<p dir="ltr">While you may be familiar with the nine hallmarks of aging, over the past several years there have been an additional five added to that list. It might seem overwhelming to have 14 aging processes to keep up with, but it's important to understand that many of them, if not all of them, are essentially interrelated. </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">One thing we’ve learned about these processes that drive aging are that they are done at a cellular and systemic level. This gives us the opportunity to try and intercept and correct them so that we can live longer, healthier lives.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">I’m joined by Leslie Kenny, Founder of Oxford Healthspan and Co-Founder of the Oxford Longevity Project. We’re talking all about the hallmarks of aging, including how the processes are interconnected, and what we can do to slow these processes down. We also dive into polyamines, specifically spermidine, and how it can boost autophagy.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Leslie Kenny is an autoimmune survivor/thriver, certified health coach and Founder and CEO of Oxford Healthspan, bringing to consumers the latest scientifically based molecules proven to slow aging.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">She is also the Co-Founder of the non-profit Oxford Longevity Project which aims to bring the latest scientific breakthroughs on healthy aging to the general public. Leslie holds degrees from Berkeley and Harvard.</p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>What we discuss:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">00:01:38 - The symposiums and organizations Leslie is connected to </p> <p dir="ltr">00:11:21 - The first nine hallmarks of aging</p> <p dir="ltr">00:15:25 - Inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and autophagy </p> <p dir="ltr">00:22:22 - The effects of fasting on the body</p> <p dir="ltr">00:30:09 - The dysregulated RNA process</p> <p dir="ltr">00:36:03 - What are polyamines?</p> <p dir="ltr">00:44:42 - How do people get polyamines into their diet? </p> <p dir=
