We welcome Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan to the show this week. Leslie was told by her doctors that her lupus diagnosis had a life expectancy of five years and that RA could only be managed, not cured. She set out to optimize her health as best she could with safe, natural solutions. Today, at age 56, Leslie is living proof that we can get better with age, so long as we take responsibility for our health and meet our doctors halfway. Spermidine is part of her anti-aging arsenal, and she hopes it will become part of yours too.SHOW NOTES: 0:51 Welcome to the show!3:19 Leslie Kenny’s Bio4:55 Welcome Leslie!6:12 Her health journey to overcome Lupus & RA10:49 Her return to the doctor’s office12:45 Her introduction to Regenerative Medicine13:10 How she discovered Spermidine16:55 Her version of an Elimination Diet19:15 Learning to manage stress & recover20:19 Daily movement & supporting circulation22:06 Intravenous Immunoglobulin Therapy21:53 Stress & Chronic “Inflammaging”22:40 The Spermidine molecule23:10 Autophagy: your “self-cleaning oven”25:12 A “holistic molecule” in the body26:05 Renee’s education on fertility & spermidine27:02 Research on spermidine & fertility29:45 How was spermidine discovered?31:09 It’s role in protecting DNA31:48 Spermidine in breastmilk34:33 *Self Decode*36:02 Spermidine-rich foods37:38 The concern with wheat germ & PUFAs39:27 Sleep, circadian rhythm & jet lag40:04 STUDY: Spermidine & Circadian Rhythm43:34 How it impacts the GI tract44:35 Who should take it?46:56 Cognition, Dementia & Alzheimer’s48:23 What about wheat & gluten?50:43 Recommended dose for Primeadine53:15 Concern with SIBO patients53:50 How do we know if it’s working?55:29 Impact on deep sleep scores56:30 Any biomarkers we can test?58:33 Her final piece of advice59:58 Thanks for tuning in! RESOURCES:Website: Primeadine / Oxford Health SpanIG: @primeadineIG: @lesliesnewprime https://oxfordhealthspan.com/discount/BIOHACKERBABESDiscount Code: BIOHACKERBABEShttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34544997/Self Decode: https://selfdecode.com/?a_aid=biohackerbabesDiscount code: BIOHACKERBABES Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donations
