In this episode, Dr. Amy Killen first talks about the contributing factors to stem cell exhaustion. We talk about what happens with our skin as we age and how we can combat some of the consequences of aging. Fasting can be a great way to produce more stem cells; Dr. Killen speaks about getting a healthy balance of autophagy and mTOR. Later, Dr. Killen discusses the importance of anti-aging and reveals why you need to ditch your antiseptic mouthwash. Tune in as we dive into the role of glucose on sexual function, the importance of peptides, and the benefits of red light therapy.

[00:45] Contributing Factors To Stem Cell Exhaustion

  • Younger people have healthier stem cells.
  • People who are just more just metabolically healthier are going to have healthier stem cells.
  • The sicker you are, the sicker your stem cells are. 
  • Stem cells send out signals. As you age, your stem cells won’t be able to send out as many signals. 
  • Chronic inflammation will also exhaust stem cells. Three major factors contribute to chronic inflammation:
    • Stress
    • Lack of exercise
    • Smoking

 

[03:45] What Is Happening To Our Skin As We Age

  • Damage from the sun is going to cause spots on the skin.
  • Some spots are also hormonal things like melasma, which you can get from hormonal changes. 
  • The number one thing you could do for your skin is actually to protect it from the sun.
  • Getting burnt is not good for your skin. 
  • Regular sun exposure will cause DNA damage to the skin. Plus, it can contribute to faster aging. 
  • Dr. Killen says to put sunscreen on your face.

  • With longer fasts, you will have more effects systemically on stem cells. 
  • With fasting, we see an increase in autophagy and cellular cleanup. 
  • The best part of fasting
