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.

[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.

[07:50] Getting A Healthy Balance of Autophagy and mTOR Through Fasting

Even with a few hours of fasting, you can start to see increased stem cell production.
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 is that it’s free!

[12:15] Exercise For Anti-Aging: How Often and How Intense Should Your Workouts Be?

You need at least three or four days of heavy lifting.
Weights are really important for creating hormones like testosterone and growth hormones.
Heavy lifting exercises should be at least thirty minutes to an hour.
Plus, you should do thirty minutes of aerobic activity a day.

[13:20] Antiseptic Mouthwash Is Bad For You: Dr. Killen Explains The Problem

Antiseptic mouthwash kills the bacteria in the mouth.
When there are no bacteria in your mouth, it prevents you from making nitric oxide from food.
Nitric oxide is essential for sexual health and erections.
If you’re using antiseptic mouthwash and you’re taking an antacid, it can decrease your sexual function.

[19:00] The Role That High Glucose Levels Can Play on Your Sexual Function

Glucose will create inflammation.
You want to have good blood flow to your sexual organs.
If you have chronic inflammation, then you will have a lack of blood flow going to your genitalia.
Hormones like testosterone will also be affected by high sugar levels.

[23:35] Peptides: Enhancing The Body's Ability To Protect and Repair Itself

Peptide is just a fancy name for a short protein.
There are now hundreds of peptides out there. Most of them come from proteins that we already have in our bodies.
All of us can use a little bit of extra repair and recovery; peptides are great for that.

Rapid Rebound is a unique formulation of BPC157, AOD, and Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) that works synergistically to enhance the body's ability to protect and repair itself so you can reach all of your performance goals.

[32:55] The Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy will help with skin healing rejuvenation.
We can see an increase in stem cell activation with red light and near-infrared light as well.
Plus, there's the mitochondrial energy production that people always talk about with red light therapy.
Red light therapy can have a lot of effects on stem cell production.
Lastly, red lights feel great!
