Health Longevity Secrets

Reversing DNA methylation can result in restoration of vision loss in old mice (Lu 2020).  Can human epigenetic methylation clocks be reversed using relatively straightforward lifestyle changes?  Dr Kara Fitzgerald  is on the faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and is an IFM Certified Practitioner. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Fitzgerald runs a Functional Medicine Clinic Immersion program for professionals, hosts a very popular podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, and maintains an active blog on her website.  Her new book 'Younger You' is coming out in Jan 2022.  Please join Dr Kara Fitzgerald for this masterclass in human epigenetic DNA methylation manipulation.Take away points: -Increased DNA methylation age is associated with no significant net methylation change.-~25% of methylation clock sites are related to glucocorticoid response elements underscoring the relationship of stress and aging.—Supplemental methylation helpers (folate, b12, choline, etc) have a narrow effective range- with too little or too much having negative consequences.-Lifestyle changes can reverse DNA methylation age in humans.00:00 Kara's vision for reversing global epidemic of chronic disease03:10 Appeal of naturopathic medicine as a systems model similar to functional medicine 06:04 Value of -omics; epigenomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics07:39 DNA methylation process and epigenetic age11:39 No net change in methylation with aging, just rearrangement of sites12:25 Dose response of dietary methyl donors15:18 Horvath methylation clock used in paper19:23 Components of the lifestyle intervention 25:32 Effect on triglycerides28:34 Options for vegans instead of liver as a methyl donor32:05 Ongoing program and forthcoming book35:05 Personal lifestyle choices37:02 10 cups of vegetables a day, 12 hour fast per day 38:03 Exercise, relaxation, and sleep choices  https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/ Lu, Yuancheng, Benedikt Brommer, Xiao Tian, Anitha Krishnan, Margarita Meer, Chen Wang, Daniel L.

Therapeutic carbohydrate restriction is no longer a fringe practice and is now increasingly recognized for its value in diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative disease, stroke, heart disease, dementia, and some cancers. Clinical guidelines and a standard of care about the practice will help accelerate this change.  Doug Reynolds is the Founder and CEO of LowCarbUSA® and President of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners(SMHP).  The Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (SMHP) is a non-profit for practitioners focused on metabolic health and they have a panel of advisors to oversee the creation and maintenance of a set of 'Clinical Guidelines for Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction’. The SMHP also helps to establish Standard of Care around carbohydrate restriction.LowCarbUSA provides a platform for scientists and medical practitioners to present the ever-increasing body of evidence on the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet and adding in healthy fats. It has now evolved into one of the primary resources for the low carb community.   https://thesmhp.org/https://www.lowcarbusa.org/ #longevity #wellness  #Ketones #lifestylemedicine #younger #ketosis #biohacking #acetone #RobertLufkinMD #metabolichealth #dougreynolds  #societyofmetabolichealthpractitioners #lowcarbusa*** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ***Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RobertLufkinMD*** GOT A SUGGESTION FOR A SHOW? ***Contact us at: https://robertlufkinmd.com/contact *** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.

SAGE: A Self Administered Cognitive AssessmentAssessment for mental status and cognition are vital if we are to spot the early warning signs of disease. The problem is if we wait until we have trouble remembering where we put the keys we may be well along the path to dementia with lots of damage done.  ​Also as we’ve discussed in other videos, the changes of Alzheimers disease start decades before subjective cognitive impairment so tests like these will help us to create a valuable baseline to pick up any changes well before they would otherwise be diagnosed.Today we will be looking at the SAGE exam which stands for Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination. It is designed to detect early signs of cognitive, memory or thinking impairments.https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media/files/wexnermedical/patient-care/healthcare-services/brain-spine-neuro/memory-disorders/sage/us/sage_form1_us_2021.pdf?la=en&hash=34FD683BB99F18CA3E79A270FC750827A1DB4184 https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media/files/wexnermedical/patient-care/healthcare-services/brain-spine-neuro/memory-disorders/sage/us/sage_form2_us_2021.pdf?la=en&hash=865269D2F8B9BFDD94F96820D45539711DCC8293 https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media/files/wexnermedical/patient-care/healthcare-services/brain-spine-neuro/memory-disorders/sage/us/sage_form3_us_2021.pdf?la=en&hash=AA4D168E2EE68E6EE37ACD9D96F788DD096C8CFF https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/-/media/files/wexnermedical/patient-care/healthcare-services/brain-spine-neuro/memory-disorders/sage/us/sage_form4_us_2021.pdf?la=en&hash=AA86EF19B1DC117200DF4561F54D552FB6D9926E #SAGE #wellness  #dementia #lifestylemedicine #younger #biohacking #RobertLufkinMD  #alzheimers  #cognitive*** CONNECT WITH ROBERT LUFKIN MD ON SOCIAL MEDIA ***Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/ Twitter:https://twitter.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/RobertLufkinMD*** GOT A SUGGESTION FOR A SHOW? ***Contact us at: https://robertlufkinmd.com/contact *** SPONSORSHIPS & BRANDS ***We do work with sponsors and brands.
