    Intro

    0:00 often I'm sending papers every every maybe a couple of days I'm sending something that's really relevant and
    0:06 Serena will say pretty much always you have already already read it I've ordered that I've talked to the founder
    0:13 uh and having lunch with that person so she she really is um quite the academic
    0:19 uh and scientist underneath the hood and I think she's okay now with us revealing
    0:25 that side of her I mean it's perfectly complementary to the other work that we do together
    0:31 [Music]
    0:51 hi hey okay yeah so just just as a note it seems like
    1:00 when people go live uh the volume drops your volume sounds great but just double check on your device
    1:08 yeah okay cool great uh so okay so we're we haven't gotten a
    1:16 lot of questions about probably aligned um I'm not sure if you want to start off
    1:22 by telling people a little bit about it we do have questions about diet
    1:28 uh about menopause we're putting we're gonna put these on a list for our
    1:33 um our 300 30s that we're going to continue on our series uh and everyone's telling me telling us
    1:40 where they're from because before you jumped out I was I was asking everyone just like tell us where you're from it's
    1:45 really cool to see that our community is absolutely worldwide and international so we really have people from everywhere
    1:51 on here it's um amazing well so fully aligned came from us meeting a little over a year ago

    About Fully Aligned Co

    1:58 we were at a conference scientific conference on longevity and the two of us ended up bumping into each other at
    2:04 dinner and realized you know we really have a lot of in common when it comes to wanting to keep other people healthy and
    2:10 live long and we started sharing our little secrets and found that uh they were really complementary your knowledge
    2:16 is very extensive in areas that I don't know much about and vice versa I'm a
    2:21 molecular biologist and so we've put our heads together and realized we can offer people a lot of information
    2:27 in terms of communication like we're doing now and we're working on some other really interesting projects one of which we're going to talk about today
    2:33 and there's another one I know you're working on in your company which we'll talk about so this is a really exciting
    2:39 uh Instagram live for us because it's not just about nutrition and Longevity
    2:45 it's also about things that we're going to be bringing out under the fully aligned brand yeah yeah so um thank you
    2:52 for that because David's much more concise as you guys know by now I can go on and on and on uh so that was a nice
    2:58 very kind of concise history sum up of uh how it came together what it's for
    3:04 what we're doing uh thank you so much for all of these uh questions that we're
    3:10 going to start sharing uh sneak peeks into some of our projects and also as we
    3:16 kind of lead into full launches for them so okay so let's see we do have some
    3:22 questions uh you might want to answer uh we could tease a little bit about of a
    3:27 podcast or two let's do that okay do you want to talk about that well since

    Lifespan podcast season two

    3:33 Serena and I are working on a lot of new Communications uh various Avenues the
    3:39 the podcast Series 2 is being worked on right now and I can promise you we can promise you that it's gonna be bigger
    3:46 and better than it was before so it's taken a while to readjust to rejig to get some uh some new talent and it's
    3:52 going to be really great when we launch this and process we work on this every day so we want to get it out just as
    3:59 quickly as you want to hear it yeah so so that's um you know things kind of take a little bit
    4:06 of like Rebrand and really kind of work out work uh I don't even say Kinks it's just
    4:12 everything is a learning process so all of your feedback here is really exciting and helpful
    4:19 um all of it uh it kind of helps us sort of create co-create what it is that you
    4:24 guys want to hear what you guys want to see uh uh people are asking about what it what
    4:30 does it mean to be fully aligned that's a great question do you want to take a stab at that before I do oh boy

    What does it mean to be fully aligned for us

    4:36 this is a dangerous one because this is not my language actually what's fascinating and interesting about Serena
    4:44 and my partnership is that we came together with very different language I would talk about molecules and atoms and
    4:50 and that was my language and three would talk about uh vibrations and energy and
    4:55 alignment and uh so what I believe this is is that the two of us have synchronized with our our goals together
    5:04 and or exactly as I would say on the same page wanting to reach the same Mission which is democratize make
    5:11 available information products uh other things that we're working on that are
    5:16 currently in in stealth mode but the two of us really we connected and we decided
    5:22 to call this company fully alone for that reason and uh and uh you know little things
    5:29 that you guys will reveal over time we've revealed a little bit here and there is so David figured out I'm actually a nerd

    How did David figure out that Serena is a nerd

    5:36 so I'm a secret stealth file hacking nerd I read papers on a daily basis and
    5:44 papers as in you know the same type of papers from Sal from PubMed from this is
    5:50 not what I share online yeah but can we can I reveal that now is that
    5:56 is that possible because I think most of you don't know Serena the way I've gotten to know her
    6:02 um in the sense that often I'm sending papers every every maybe a couple of days I'm sending something that's really
    6:09 relevant and Serena will say pretty much always I ordered that I've talked to the
    6:16 founder uh I'm having lunch with that person so she she really is um I the
    6:22 academic uh and scientist underneath the hood and I think she's okay now with us
    6:27 revealing that side of her I mean it's perfectly complementary to the other work that we do together and together we
    6:34 we believe we can bring you information that'll give you not just longer life but much better healthier enjoyable
    6:40 productive life as well yeah thank you for that and um no I'm
    6:45 okay with that being shared now my community knows that I can be kind of ready um I'm not sure if uh your community and
    6:51 our co-committee know that because there are questions about different products that are on my site different things
    6:56 that I talk about and uh it's when we're talking you know fully aligned the way

    Serena on what is Fully Aligned Co

    7:02 my practice has worked it's a little bit of everything it is holistic in that and I would say holistic
    7:10 w-h-o-l-i-s-t-i-c and so it is the physical body um and it is the the emotional body it
    7:17 is the the energetic body so to speak and you'll see some of that information in my site you'll see some of that in
    7:24 the content I produce and that's also and there's actually a lot more science um and research behind that that then
    7:31 we've maybe shared up to date so far that we will bring a lot more of that
    7:38 sort of tangible uh research evidence um two fully aligned and obviously to to
    7:45 my um to my content uh maybe just some content David has some really exciting
    7:52 things to to share and she's as we you know a few more minutes in because we're
    7:57 only about 15 minutes in uh so so that's kind of what it is it's all to it's all
    8:03 kind of brought together there are tangible things that we now have so much research and data on which is how how
    8:10 our how our gut health affects our mind and our mood and you know it goes all
    8:15 the way to you know diseases and so and so the regulation of our our our
    8:22 emotional body you know what I call our emotion of our emotional Wellness our mental Wellness that has that that plays
    8:30 along with um mindset with uh meditation place along is probably not the right word to use but you know that kind of it
    8:37 all kind of comes together and then that affects our physical body so that's a lot of what we talk about David and ion
    8:44 also comes from um it's what I talk about so sometimes I include
    8:50 tangible um products and different items for people
    8:56 to connect to that sort of uh that type of mentality that belief and it really
    9:02 it really becomes a supportive tool I wouldn't say it's the same as a book but tools or tools so there will there will
    9:10 there will be a book we need to capture your brain in a book so that everyone
    9:15 um so let's reveal some news we and um and answer some questions I've been writing some of these down yeah
    9:22 um I'll go quickly let's let's go ahead so let's go quickly all right so uh one

    Thoughts on one meal a day vs eating window and intermittent fasting

    9:28 question um one meal a day highly support it Cindy and I disagree I think that one meal a day is good for me
    9:34 someone my age of 53. I don't need a lot of calories and I really have an enjoyable large meal that's plant-based
    9:41 majority plant-based and I'm off okay I do I mean Serena's gonna say
    9:47 sometimes I do have maybe a little bit of uh Sushi occasionally I'm a struggling vegan okay
    9:54 do you actually do one meal a day most days with well I have well when I'm with
    10:01 you you're always giving food to me so that's not fair but when I'm alone
    10:07 and I I would eat uh maybe some nuts and chocolate in the afternoon to get
    10:12 through I've not eaten anything today so all right because we both believe in sort of in uh
    10:20 giving her giving our digestive system space so we both are a big believer in fasting and intermittent fasting
    10:27 I believe in an eating window because I don't think that it's always possible to
    10:34 get all the nutrients that we need in one meal so an eating window that allows
    10:40 a space to maybe so maybe the one large meal is extended over a period of couple
    10:46 hours sometimes maybe uh but it's really about everything that David has shared
    10:52 about why you just have that one meal why we fast how that's beneficial it's also super important that you get in the
    10:59 nutrients that your body needs in that meal if you can do it excellent right
    11:04 and if you can't then make sure that you do in a short eating window so how's
    11:10 that good and we will devote a whole live at least to the plan versus meat
    11:17 debate it's out there a lot of people are confused why what's the data on why plants might be better I I prefer plants
    11:25 because I've seen a scientific evidence and it works for my body I measure things so do you see but we'll cover
    11:31 that it's too long to go into in detail today because we've got other things to talk about as well yeah a lot of people

    NMN and its effect on the microbiome

    11:37 asking about nmn um I tweeted out that anime affects the microbiome we have a
    11:42 paper that just got published from my uh sister lab in Australia and
    11:48 quickly the answer is that when you swallow any man it gets metabolized by the microbiome at lower in the gut so it
    11:56 gets absorbed higher in the gut there's no microbiome it gets absorbed directly so it's different as to where so first of all
    12:02 it's going in directly absorbed lower down microbiome changes it
    12:07 and it gets absorbed differently and that's all in the paper the bottom line is we know now from Human studies
    12:13 they're being published that when you take an amend a gram or two grams it's so far very safe and you raise your NAD
    12:20 levels which is the molecule you want to boost for anti-aging potential effects goes up by about twofold and so we can
    12:27 argue about how it gets in but the fact is it does get in okay and I'd like to just make a note on
    12:34 um the gram or two grams everybody's different um is it just if you guys are taking it
    12:41 you know and you're taking it from you know I know that we get a lot of questions about
    12:47 manufacturers and Brands and you know we've been we've talked about why we
    12:52 don't share that for those of you out there who are taking nmn just be really conscientious of who's making it
    13:00 um you can do your own research on checking uh about the transparency of those companies and whether or not
    13:06 that's a good clean product and then just also just be mindful that everybody's different so sometimes you
    13:12 have to titrate up which means maybe you don't start off at a gram um you start off at 250 or 500 and you
    13:19 kind of work your way up everybody's response to is different male versus female it's different your age that all
    13:25 matters and so more is not necessarily better so I just want everyone to
    13:32 remember that it's what your body needs and the maximum that your body needs for
    13:38 the maximum results is what serves you so um
    13:43 we're gonna rapid fire on your own I've got lots of questions here okay um so

    NMN side effects

    13:50 uh yeah there's no known side effects no negative side effects it's FDA approved
    13:55 for clinical trials so far there's been no evidence I want to be the first person to know if there's any safety
    14:01 issues in animals or in humans and on at this moment and you'll be the first to know if I do find anything like that
    14:07 because I need to know I'm taking it Serena's taking it my dad's taking it so we want to know if there's anything
    14:12 wrong so far nothing like that um lowering CRP somebody asked that's
    14:17 the inflammatory molecule that you can measure for a cardiovascular disease you can lower that by eating foods that are
    14:22 anti-inflammatory I take I take omega 3 6 and 9 fatty acids uh daily as well to
    14:29 try and bring down that inflammation anything else to read on that yes just take out inflammatory
    14:35 um substances from your life so you know there's a question about alcohol and sugar and obviously processed foods
    14:42 these are all things that can raise your inflammatory markers so if you take them out then your markers will naturally
    14:49 lower uh without you having to even take anything in so so there's that there's a
    14:55 lot of questions about supplements I think you know we talk a lot we talk a lot about anime almost every single time
    15:00 we chat so maybe like let's are there questions that you down that aren't
    15:05 um last thing on nmn uh we will have
    15:10 announcements about anime later in the year um but yeah we're both working on things
    15:16 uh together and separately that will satisfy the Curiosity and also the need for non-purity about these substances
    15:24 because some of them have endotoxin we've found in my lab at Harvard which is kind of scary so we're working on
    15:29 that stay tuned we have other announcements today though we want to get to yeah so stay tuned in that we
    15:35 will also probably address Resveratrol and foreman and burgering lots of questions on that I see them and we will
    15:42 address this and yes I still take physique and chrisseton um they're good as uh someone activators
    15:49 and say analytics but I'm going to Serena let you pick some questions for us to answer
    15:58 related to supplements um because they talk about that a lot
    16:05 um work is ongoing glaucoma we're testing now ready for safety testing in humans
    16:12 hopefully by next year we'll cure aim to cure blindness in people without age reversal system one thing that's really
    16:19 cool is in the lab we're looking at ways to reverse aging not just with gene therapy but with chemicals and we've
    16:25 made some real breakthroughs there stay tuned for that yes yes great uh what
    16:31 else is there there's some questions about Quantum I would say if you have questions about Quantum then go to we've done a series
    16:39 with uh with a company called River Quantum and they actually have uh some scientific uh evidence on how the
    16:48 frequencies and the energy can actually affect changes in our blood and they have evidence for that so they've got
    16:53 all the data they've got papers you can go check it out there uh a lot so that hopefully will address the questions
    17:00 about uh energy and Quantum and we will share David's personal experiences on another AMA but know that they're there
    17:09 um oh someone asked about the website of our new partnership so website is being built in the meantime we have sort of a
    17:16 landing page it's a temporary site uh and it's with David and serena.com
    17:23 yeah okay so it's David and serena.com it's really just just something for you
    17:29 guys to go to to get some basic information you can always uh message us
    17:34 I know that we get a lot of messages we don't always get a chance to answer all of them um in uh direct messages texting kind of
    17:41 works because we get less people that go through the effort of texting so those questions uh get seen earlier
    17:49 um you can also sign up of course on our optimized longevity series uh to that
    17:55 newsletter we get those as well um but the site is temporary uh it's being built
    18:01 we we for some reason didn't really think about that before before we announced it we did but we have a
    18:07 temporary site yeah I've got some things I want to uh jump in on yes the site was
    18:12 great Serena's team did a great job I cannot take credit for any of it on stem cells we're looking into it Serena and I
    18:18 actually traveled the world to other parts of the world looking at what's going on we'll have a whole section
    18:24 devoted to that later we think it's really promising but there's a lot of bunk out there so we've been looking for the best in the world and what's real
    18:31 we're also researching this at Harvard I'll tell you about that later CT scan someone else um C scans are break they
    18:37 break DNA and we have a paper that is going to come out in a big Journal that shows that broken DNA accelerates aging
    18:44 dramatically so try to avoid any excessive radiation that you can x-ray CT scans unless it's for medical reasons
    18:51 and your doctor says you should have it uh don't don't go there try to avoid all radiation because that will Aid you our
    18:58 paper will show and that that paper is coming out pretty soon yeah it's a 13-year study about how to control aging
    19:05 forwards and backwards in the same individual and I think we've got a really good handle on why we age

    Inflammatory markers and how to lower them

    19:11 and as I say in my book why we probably don't have to age
    19:16 and and when can we maybe expect that
    19:22 um is that safe to say I know that the publication well it's provisionally accepted into
    19:29 one of the world's top journals uh we're submitting a cover design for the for our and uh you know I don't want to jinx
    19:36 it but it's going to be one of the biggest most comprehensive papers that have ever been published in that journal
    19:41 13 years of work 60 scientists 15 Labs uh around the world to make this happen
    19:47 and it's finally coming out the first author almost quit because it was so hard and I told him just don't quit
    19:54 fortunately uh he didn't and it's uh it's one of the biggest discoveries of my entire career super excited to share
    20:01 it with you you'll see that we think we've understood finally what a major driver of the aging process is and how
    20:07 we can actually reverse that very quickly within just a matter of weeks yeah so that's super super exciting you
    20:14 guys and um and well and I don't think there's a need to rewind because I'm thinking everyone on here is going to be
    20:20 ready and waiting for that but we will we will definitely um give you some reminders when it comes
    20:25 out and probably do a full uh even longer chat on that once it does

    Does NMN help with testosterone?

    20:33 oh you're gonna you're gonna be upset I think I I thought does any man help with testosterone quick answer is looks like
    20:40 it does uh I've personally experienced this um and so you have to you should
    20:45 measure it if you're taking in a minute so in the seven eight years that you've been taking nmn you're going to reveal
    20:52 the the up levels we'll do that another episode so um so I have some questions here uh real
    20:59 quick there's a lot of questions about some brand of Metformin again we do not
    21:05 um Advocate uh you know brands for supplements like that I would say go to
    21:10 our trusted resources so we have some uh some um
    21:15 Brands Partners we have there are there are some people that we really stand
    21:20 behind and stand with uh and that's under our trusted resources under optimized longevity so if you go there
    21:27 you will see and if you go there right now you'll see um that there's a company that we're
    21:33 gonna share about real actually well we should talk about my app and supplements and then we'll talk about that we'll
    21:39 kind of leave that as our last thing we chat we might go over 30 minutes but if you go to our trusted resources then
    21:45 you'll see um who we stand with uh and um and if it's not on there then
    21:51 I would say that probably answers your question at least for now okay um some quick ones um lots of questions
    21:57 about metformin uh oh oh can I real quick just because I
    22:03 don't want to let too much time your comments about CT scans what I wanted to add on to those as

    Serena about CT scans

    22:10 David said sometimes it's necessary so if it's absolutely necessary you know someone that you love is in the hospital
    22:15 there's reasons someone talked about um they need it for you know their parents have cancer do it if it's necessary it's just like
    22:23 don't do it if it's not necessary you can't be worried about what it's doing to your body if you're in an acute
    22:30 um situation and the doctors are saying and of course there are times that maybe it's not necessary the doctors just want
    22:36 to do extra um but you know when it is and so don't not do it got it
    22:42 um okay so um I was talking about metformin yeah one gram a day for me you want to talk to your doctor you want to

    About Metformin

    22:49 because it's a medicine in at least in Western countries uh I'll talk about the counter at other in other countries you
    22:54 need a prescription there are companies online that can give you a prescription if you're interested but make sure you
    23:00 do it with supervision because everyone's different some people are very sensitive um their blood levels can grow go low
    23:06 yeah glucose some people feel sick um I take some food with it usually to
    23:12 try and stop that sick feeling but there was a lot of science we'll go into it again in another episode about what
    23:18 metformin seems to do guys just reducing blood sugar I know everyone's curious and keep following us keep showing up
    23:24 for these lives because we will dive in a lot more deeply and a lot more frequently now yeah um and I know and
    23:30 also with the berberine you know questions about that and then there are things that you can also
    23:37 um uh take together with metformin's to offset some of you know some of the side
    23:43 effects that some people may experience I don't I take it I don't have any any side effects from it but
    23:49 um your body tells you so you know if you're if you're taking it and you experience this if you're it depending
    23:55 if you're taking the evening or during the day you know if there's a little bit too much sweating if there's if there's dizziness if there's light headedness it
    24:02 might be taking too much reprimination you want to do with a doctor in very low doses be careful it's
    24:08 a drug that can be toxic to your kidneys so that little doctor prescribed as well but the date is really good on it in
    24:16 animals and early studies and clinical trials that it can mimic really deep fasting and may promote longevity but
    24:23 it's right on the edge of of The Cutting Edge where you need to be under doctor's supervision yeah and something that I'd
    24:29 like to also add is a big part of what I do is taking a look at what we take in that's beneficial for us in these ways
    24:35 XYZ but then where might it not serve our body as well and then how we can complement that so uh some of these
    24:43 things are medication and they may cause some uh uh nutritional deficiencies in
    24:49 some ways and help us in these ways so it's about what you tip together so that you maximize on benefits all around so
    24:56 those are the things we'll be talking about more as well all right I metformin and bubbling can be taken together
    25:02 so we'll talk about that I saw a question um I've been invited to go visit Easter Island where uh rapamycin was discovered
    25:09 you want to come with me maybe we'll we'll consider that one and do a live from there are you are you inviting me
    25:15 let me think about it okay okay so let's talk about a couple
    25:21 other things you know we have a couple other things that we need to uh that we mentioned in our caption that we're
    25:26 going to share uh one of them that for those of you that are part of my community you know that uh there's an
    25:32 app coming out so and David got a chance to have a sneak peek in that app uh and right now
    25:40 just kind of going to the beta Community you can share about your thoughts on the app well what I love about it is that it

    Serena’s latest launch

    25:45 took me on a journey uh I was asked very simple questions about what I'm looking
    25:50 for what kind of uh health and mindfulness and what kind of person I am what do I like to eat and then it gave
    25:58 me these uh these plans for nutrition meals daily activities that you know to
    26:04 improve your life and really what it is it's basically putting your mind and your personality into an app I don't
    26:10 know how you did it uh but it it you've got a little picture of you there and it does feel a lot like what it's like to
    26:17 meet you and talk to you so I think it's getting people really going to like it for that reason to have intimate contact
    26:22 with you at least through this this app that you've poured everything for the last couple of years into and put your
    26:28 soul into it really uh well no it's actually I have to give I have to give thank you for that I have
    26:34 to give credit to my team it has been two years it's been about one I think gosh time flies I'm not really sure I
    26:39 think it's about a year uh but really my team has been amazing uh and she and
    26:46 that she's they um they've really helped us put this together put help me put this together
    26:52 so right now it's going to go into the Beta Community uh so if you want to be a
    26:57 part of that sort of test Community we'll work out the Kinks uh you can sign up there's a link in my bio you can sign
    27:04 up to uh sort of be one of the first to get access to that uh to that app and it'll go really full and um a full lunch
    27:11 probably towards the end of the year beginning of the year uh and along with that we actually have some supplements
    27:19 um some Therapeutics Therapeutics and nutraceuticals that we are watching at
    27:24 the beginning of the year uh and we are going to release a few of those items
    27:29 just in time for the holidays so during the holidays we have a little bit more
    27:36 stress we're eating a little bit more or maybe breaking our rules hold on one second David looks Frozen
    27:41 oh okay I'm just listening
    27:48 um anyway uh so we have we have it's a holiday bundle basically so we have a
    27:54 tendency to eat a little outside of what David and I talk about so
    27:59 um there'll be some digestive enzymes to help support that uh we're under a little bit more stress because of how
    28:05 they season and sometimes seeing a lot of family vacuum booster so there will be some adrenal support stress support
    28:11 sleep support um all of that will be a part of what we're going to release and launch in the
    28:18 next uh six to eight weeks so you can stay tuned for that [Music]

    Skin and hair secrets

    28:31 um skin and hair we'll cover that we've covered it before uh three your hair is
    28:36 is a is a piece of art is uh is what seventh eighth wonder of the world so
    28:42 you I know that you do things for your hair and your skin they're remarkable I I actually know how old you are it's
    28:48 remarkable how you've treated your body and look how you do for me uh I don't dye my hair this is natural I don't have
    28:55 a gray hair actually I had one gray hair but actually three and it's gone now so I don't know
    29:02 so I I do most of my my um anti-aging from the inside with my supplements but
    29:07 I also I use creams that we've developed over the years uh on my face that every
    29:13 night I I put some Resveratrol containing cream on there and uh and that's it there's no plastic surgery
    29:19 trust me uh and Serena your secrets you want to divulge Jenny yeah you know it's
    29:25 thank you so much for your compliments I uh so very similar I've been
    29:31 you know I believe that longevity really kind of starts at the very very beginning we talk about we've talked about this like it starts when you're
    29:37 still in the in the in the womb right um and that's where educating parents moving forward on that uh but everything
    29:44 is from the inside out for me so our diet our lifestyle um obviously some supplements
    29:51 um all of that is what contributes to this which by the way is real they are not extensions you would be able to see
    29:57 them um so we're going to announce a new skin
    30:02 care yes product later so stick with us yes
    30:08 and then also at night to sort of stuff but uh and I actually not as religious
    30:14 about as David is about putting something a cream on my face every single night but I am very religious
    30:21 about using high quality products uh and what I'm putting into my body so what's
    30:27 exciting is that um you know with everything else that we've been doing we actually have a
    30:34 project that we've been working on that is uh geared towards that so we can just
    30:39 tease about it a little bit right now um also no plastic surgery on me I do uh
    30:45 wear eyelashes that you guys can tell aren't real um but everything here is real people
    30:51 somebody said yes you have feelers and I can promise that there's there's no pills in your face no I don't go on with
    30:58 nicely plump shakes you can see yeah I don't do fillers I can show you pictures from when I was um little until gosh
    31:07 definitely in my 30s where I just hold a lot of fat in my face it didn't really
    31:13 serve me until I got older so you kind of just have to wait it out so for all those you out there who have chubby
    31:19 cheeks and you just have a lot of fat in your face it just you know feels like it
    31:24 works against you but then you get older and then you're really happy that you have all that uh let's see a little
    31:29 dysport oh yes yes so I do do that and I'm super open about it I do a little bit of disc warp
    31:35 um but I don't do filler this is just in the face
    31:41 so let's see um no I don't no I don't do that let's see what else is there
    31:49 um we can uh hold on hold on uh okay so I don't I don't see that
    31:55 anymore questions you can ask you can ask me questions though because you pretty much know oh about about your skin well your diet
    32:03 means that your body is naturally healthy and your hair just grows amazingly well
    32:09 um I I was I was skeptical and I'm very very hydrated a lot of hydration too that's true all right somebody else

    About retinoids

    32:16 about retinoids I did try Retin-A cream for a while it's up here I've I ran out
    32:22 months ago I'll probably use it again because I think it it does make my skin look better but I'm not sure if it's I
    32:28 use it I do but I'm not sure it's a longevity thing I think it might actually be the opposite because it's
    32:34 making your skin proliferate so I'm I'm on the fence about retinoids if you want to look good quickly use it if you want
    32:41 to look good for a long time I think it's questionable um I use the the percentage is very very
    32:47 low so it doesn't actually make it um so I think we can actually talk about that another time too like to percentages of
    32:54 things um yes we're both plant-based no I've never done a fraxel or later yes we
    33:01 drink alcohol water as much as we can we do but also measure alkalinity levels
    33:06 you don't want to go too offline yeah oh sorry uh uh written I I actually I use
    33:14 it right here and I do maybe it's wrong but I do put it here even under my eyes
    33:19 I've been told that's dangerous but I do it every day when I have it I think it's bad it seems to work for me
    33:27 actually don't do that I don't have I create I do here and there for Darkness
    33:34 under eyes that's usually a liver deficiency so if I ever feel that I've got yeah some Darkness under my eyes I I
    33:41 work on my liver and then it goes away so let's see contacts oh I do wear
    33:48 contacts I mean I'm like negative seven I think um which is something we need to work on
    33:54 so my eyesight can get a little bit better so I do they're based they're the same color and I don't know I don't know
    34:00 if this is doing weird things in my eyes it could be like if you see the lightness in eyes it's definitely the
    34:05 ring light um because I don't think you would see that under a photo oh probably I'll
    34:12 probably need to get contact someday but I'm so far I get get through with goodbye without glasses so what what
    34:19 else can we announce I think we've got some interesting announcements yes okay so I think since we're talking about
    34:25 skin we can we can tease about uh this project that we've been working on uh
    34:30 since if anyone does go to The Trusted resources uh on our optimized longevity
    34:37 site it'll be at the very top of the site so I'm not going to share the name
    34:43 or any of that because people can go there and look but there is a project and you know maybe you can talk a little
    34:49 bit about the project David and then and then we can talk about how we're going to share more next week in full yeah
    34:57 okay this is the first big project that you and I have done together and it was born out of some

    Serena and David's first big project together

    35:03 research originally in my lab and then it was spun out into a little uh
    35:09 Boutique company that that works on anti-aging skin products and we we have
    35:14 formed a collaboration with NASA and JPL to find organisms that could help
    35:20 rejuvenate the skin and we found one that can survive in outer space and is highly resistant to ultraviolet
    35:26 radiation which causes aging and we found with the chief scientist whose name is Kyle we'll introduce him another
    35:33 day yeah and he's he's a he's a little genius he uh found that this organism
    35:39 has great properties for rejuvenating skin and protecting it from radiation and he put that into a cosmetic product
    35:47 that we've co-developed Serena nine and we put it in in people and found that it has a variety of rejuvenating properties
    35:54 it reduces uh discoloration of the skin and almost everybody saw I think
    36:00 everybody saw improvements in terms of wrinkles Plumping um and it's actually so popular that I
    36:07 just I don't I don't have any left all of my friends and family and three of you you like to take my extra bottles I
    36:13 don't have any left it everybody has seen improvements I've never seen a product like it in my house before and
    36:20 so we're gonna make this I don't need your bottles okay so you maybe you're giving it to your friends but everybody
    36:26 that tries it once more that's 100 true and we thought that we would use this
    36:31 space technology to make our first product which will be this skin cream that has this age reversal property I'm
    36:38 super excited about it it's really the first consumer product that's come out of my lab in the last 20 years
    36:44 and it's um it's really exciting we're going to dive into a full episode of eye
    36:50 to eye I love it um I have definitely experienced
    36:56 um benefits from it and with all things you know consistent use so you know I
    37:01 know that especially for women um what could be men too we kind of like
    37:07 go through products and something seems super new and and um and you use it for
    37:12 a little bit just with all things like our diet like our fitness like mindfulness meditation this is something
    37:18 that if you're really consistent about it you will I mean it'll it'll change
    37:23 everything so so something that um we can share a lot more about next week
    37:28 when we do we'll do a live and that's part of its now we'll go check it out check out the site look at it I think it
    37:36 might be available for pre-orders right now there's it's limited in quantity you know it's it's there's a lot of sales so
    37:42 it's yeah like it's it's got so many uh so little uh numbers right now it
    37:50 probably will sell out so if you want to get on the pre-orders definitely go do that that's on our link
    37:57 yeah yeah we crafted it in small batches because it's it's really an interesting
    38:03 product made up of key ingredients that you don't find in other products and Kyle and his team had to make the small
    38:09 batches because it's it's basically a crafted artisanal product but it works
    38:15 works great you know of course if it sells out we'll make more don't worry about that but if you want to be the
    38:20 first people to try it I would get on the wait list it's coming out shortly yeah and um and so sort of and you guys
    38:28 are on here so you guys are sort of like the first to even know about that we haven't even announced that publicly at
    38:33 all um but we will give we'll have even more information so you'll get a chance to
    38:39 talk to Kyle and we'll have them on next week I'm not sure what day yet but we will let you know so you want to stay
    38:45 tuned and you want to make sure you follow and do well that will announce when we do that joint live and then and
    38:52 then we can get real nerdy which um I love uh into how they came about
    38:57 with um this special ingredient that we'll share later you can definitely see it on the link
    39:04 um and on the website and you'll have all your we can answer your questions then because that one will just sort of
    39:09 be focused just on this one thing since you guys are super interested in our skin
    39:15 um some people are claiming it regrows hair we'll have to do a clinical trial but it's very powerful from what I can
    39:21 see when I used it it almost immediately it changed what my skin looked like so yeah I mean try it out see what you
    39:27 think I I think it uh it'll be pleased with what you find we've switched over to using it and it's uh it's really
    39:34 quite amazing science that's in there but again we didn't want to talk about it today we're just kind of teasing you
    39:40 but you can get ahead of all the other people next week they'll hear about it well I mean if people are asking about
    39:45 Botox and fillers we need to give them one or two little little secret tells
    39:51 you know since you know that we're a little bit of retinol I don't do it the way you do and and this is definitely
    39:56 one of the things that we're using that we found very helpful uh so I would say
    40:01 yes and of course there's other things as well like hydrations and people ask about light therapy it's never just one
    40:08 thing and I think David and I have been talking about that throughout our series you know it's it's a combination of a
    40:14 lot of things that you do to really optimize your health optimize your longevity however the skin product is
    40:20 one thing that you can do that will really help support that so uh so yeah how you get on the wait list go to the
    40:27 site um how do you get on the side in case somebody doesn't know there's a link yeah so if you go to optimize longevity
    40:35 which is our uh sort of like joint landing page for things we have something called trusted resources and

    45:34 you've done rectal ozone ozone on me yeah done by your energetic testing like oh my goodness because I don't remember
    45:40 that one um no comment on that so finish the ride I am I am taking

    About Finasteride

    45:47 finasteride my doctor suggested it and uh Serena you've warned me that it might
    45:53 affect sexual performance is that right I mean with all men medications there
    46:00 are obviously side effects I've already said this and so you know again with all medication there's a
    46:06 benefit that you receive that's what it's designed for and then there's side effects um that can also happen as well so for all things you can always offset
    46:13 it yeah and if you don't know that's to maintain this
    46:18 uh he's taking something so he doesn't lose hair so that's for anyone who doesn't know what he's talking about so
    46:25 it's uh it's to um preempt any type of hair loss which I I
    46:31 don't know that you need that but you can take it yeah okay yeah and so and
    46:37 and again all medications most of all medications have some sort of a side effect and some people are unaffected by
    46:43 it and some people um are so you can always curve that and encounter that uh somebody I said yes I

    Alpha-lipoic acid

    46:52 take alphabetic acid I do too it's good for nerves uh it's good for mitochondria energies and I've been taking that for
    46:58 20 years it's really great yeah it's great I've been taking it for a really long time and there's been some res uh
    47:04 Recent research on people who've had uh covet and how it can help with some of
    47:09 the long-haul neurocognitive side effects included actually we have a whole thing on that that's something that I've been doing a lot of work on
    47:16 for the last two years and so we can spend a whole episode on that as long as we don't get blocked or banned from
    47:22 Instagram for talking about how we can support ourselves after covid Kelly
