Eudemonia “life lived well” Amazing first time event!

Supplementing with #astragalus can lengthen #telomeres and increase #lifespan, according to a new study. Telomeres are like the ends of shoelaces, forming protective caps at the ends of DNA strands. They prevent chromosome ends from being damaged and help to preserve genome integrity, but each replication cycle reduces telomere length. Environmental factors, including #diet, #exercise and #lifestyle, impact this rate of shortening. The only enzyme that can replicate telomeres and lengthen them again is #telomerase. When telomerase is inactive, telomeres become shorter and shorter with each cell cycle until they reach a critically low length. At that point, cells can no longer divide, and they undergo senescence or apoptosis. Some compounds can activate telomerase, and active compounds in astragalus have been reported to have such activity in vitro and in animal experiments. The authors of a new study conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial to test the impact of an active astragalus-based supplement and a few other compounds on the telomere length. During the trial, 40 healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to a placebo group or an astragalus supplement group for six months. Participants had their measurements taken at baseline and during visits at one month, three months, and six months. The researchers did not observe any side effects during the study. The lab results and the measurements taken from the study subjects didn’t show any changes in weight, blood pressure, heart rate, or heart functioning. There was also no indication of inflammation. Measurements of median telomere length didn’t show significant differences between groups at baseline, although the placebo group trended towards having longer telomeres. Over this experiment’s duration, in the placebo group, the median telomere length either decreased or remained stable. In the supplement group the researchers observed a significant increase in telomere length compared to baseline, starting at one month, with a significantly increased again at three and six months. Additionally, the percentage of short telomeres decreased significantly in the supplement-treated group at six months. Reduced telomere length has been shown to correlate with #senescence, and it regarded as a marker of aging. It has been associated with age-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Astralagus is available as supplement and it is also included in various premium supplement stacks, such as Noordcode Creatine Pro, De-liver-ance elixir, Bio-Optimizers Vegzymes & others (more here https://lnkd.in/exBxqNBP).

This morning I received a lovely message with a link to some photos. Last week I was in Boston, recording my first TEDxBoston. When I was asked to join the wonderful line up of speakers by WHOOP's Emily Capodilupo, it was an instant yes. The process that followed of preparing, learning and collaborating with Davey B, John Werner and Chris MacAskill was wonderful. I'm so grateful for the experience, and for the opportunity to introduce our philosophy at ZOE to more people in the US. Harnessing the power of food to improve the health of millions is the future of public health - I can't wait to share the talk once it's live. Amazing to share the stage with Dr Daniel Levy, Prof Christopher Gardner, Kristen Holmes, Dana A. Griffin, Prof I-Min Lee, Prof Linda Fried, Columbus D Batiste, Dr Michael Greger, Dr John Day, and Maddy Dychtwald.

We’re proud to announce the line-up for the first-ever Eudēmonia Summit, happening November 1 - 3, 2024 in West Palm Beach, Florida. We’re so excited for you to join us. From the co-founders of Wanderlust, Eudēmonia - named after the ancient Greek word for “well-being” - is a 3-day immersive event dedicated to helping you cultivate your personal well-being in all dimensions of life: physical, mental and social. The world’s leading experts and trusted teachers – across nutrition, fitness, longevity, psychedelics, sleep, restoration and more – will join thousands of wellness seekers for three days of active experiences, hands-on learning and connection.
