A recent study showed that even a brief bout of ph A recent study showed that even a brief bout of physical activity can favorably influence 9815 molecules in blood, including hormones, immune markers, fatty acids & neurotransmitters [PMID 32470399]. Isn’t that impressive? As little as 10 minutes of exercise could boost your immune system, improve metabolic, cognitive & mental health and even slow down aging (among many other benefits). In fact, the researchers called these pleiotropic effects of exercise “Molecular Choreography”, elegantly summarizing the complex and interconnected influence physical activity has on many key biochemical pathways. Is it any surprise then that exercise also influences gene expression? For example, multiple studies have shown exercise reduces methylation of tumor-suppressor genes. And this mechanism is probably a big reason why exercise is an important preventative measure for cancer.

In 2021, over 62 billion US dollars were spent glo In 2021, over 62 billion US dollars were spent globally on anti-aging products, despite a lack of accurate tests to quantitatively show their efficacy. On the latest New Frontiers podcast, Dr. Carolina Reis, PhD from @oneskin.co shares exciting new science that will likely disrupt the industry. After developing the skin biological age clock, Dr. Reis and her female scientist colleagues (go #womeninscience !) have been able to test products and peptides to accurately determine both their positive and negative impact on skin aging. Using data from these tests, they have developed a way to target senescent cells to improve the appearance and reverse the biological age of skin, and research is currently underway to determine how it may apply to the skin microbiome, barrier function, inflammation and overall health as well. I think you will find this interview fascinating on so many levels – I know I sure did!

Stress. It feels like some unavoidable aspect of l Stress. It feels like some unavoidable aspect of life that you can't get rid of without winning the lottery, or retiring, or moving to a secluded private island (or maybe all three). And it's something we all experience: Heck, I can feel like I'm doing pretty well at life, but my raggedy chewed-up cuticles can tell an entirely different story. (The term for that is autocannibalism, by the way. Yikes!) Instead of letting it get you down, though, think of it more like a call to action. Your stress levels require your attention to bring them down. Taking the time to practice some basic relaxation techniques - like meditation or deep breathing - can have a profound effect on your biological age and associated chronic diseases of aging. And as you turn down your stress levels, your day-to-day experiences with stress will also drop! This is why having a relaxation practice is a fundamental pillar of the Younger You method - just a few minutes a day can help slow down biological aging (as we’ve seen in my research studies).
