Today, I am blessed to have here with me Alan Cash. He serves as founder and chief science officer at Terra Biological.  Researching into the molecular and genomic mechanisms of aging and the effects of calorie restriction on aging, Mr. Cash developed unique molecular methods and compounds to mimic calorie restriction and extend lifespan in laboratory animals.  Mr. Cash has an MS in physics from the University of Oklahoma.  As an entrepreneur, Mr. Cash has gained recognition and awards from the White House, INC 500 business,  Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Deloitte and Touche Technology Fast 50, and Top 100 Hotfirm.   In this episode, Alan talks about his passion for researching the mechanisms behind aging. During a study, Alan found that oxaloacetate extends the lifespan of worms. He speaks about the other clinical research Alan has done around oxaloacetate and what are the most surprising benefits of this compound. Alan dives into reversing some of the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and chronic fatigue syndrome. Tune in as we chat about how Alan is researching the effects of oxaloacetate on women with breast cancer.  ? Purchase Benagene oxaloacetate here: https://bit.ly/3HJLZ44 ?

So, Alan fed worms oxaloacetate to see if they would live longer. It worked! It’s not often you find a way to extend the lifespan of a species. [19:20] Is There Any Concern With Ascorbic Acid and Throwing Off The Copper To Iron Ratio?  One hundred fifty milligrams of ascorbic acid is not enough to do anything unless you are very, very sensitive to vitamin C.  If you drink a glass of orange juice and feel terrible, you’re probably sensitive to vitamin C. It’s very rare to be sensitive to vitamin C. If you are sensitive to vitamin C, you should not take benaGene.  [21:40] The Reason You Should Take Oxaloacetate Every Single Day  The best use of oxaloacetate is to use it every day. Oxaloacetate will help with fasting glucose levels and mood issues. When you take oxaloacetate regularly, you can reduce the amount of blood glucose swing throughout the day by 55%. About 10% of the total genes out there change when you calorie restrict. Typically, you will see genomic responses in 30 to 45 days by taking oxaloacetate.  [30:05] How Oxaloacetate Can Help With PMS and PMDD Symptoms  In the past, we thought that PMS was due to hormonal issues because it happened every month. Well, hormones do help with the timing of things. However, the actual problems seem to be linked to the brain. Women with emotional issues need more glucose in their cerebellum.  If you give them glucose, they will feel better. This is why women are reaching for chocolate and carbohydrates. Oxaloacetate converts fatty acids that circulate through your system into glucose. That way, you can make glucose at these times when you need it! During a trial, Alan saw over a 50% reduction in depression
