Health, Work and Age in the Metaverse: Bradley Schurman Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Thank you to our sponsor InsideTracker. Listeners get 20% off and free InnerAge here: https://info.insidetracker.com/ageist

What are the metaverse and Web3? How can people 50+ benefit from rapidly advancing technology? How will the metaverse and Web3 change our work lives? What about how we connect with our communities? How will the future of technology correct for ageism, racism, sexism?

Bradley Schurman, an author, demographic futurist, and opinion maker on all things dealing with the business of longevity, joins us on the SuperAge podcast for a fascinating discussion about rapidly advancing technology like the metaverse and Web3. Bradley explains how we can keep up with these innovations and use them to our advantage.
What you will learn in this episode:
- What the metaverse and Web3 are
- How the metaverse and Web3 will change our work lives and how we connect with our communities
- How nursing homes are using technology to keep their residents connected
- How the future of technology will correct for discrimination against age, gender, location, appearance
- Fraud in the digital space
- Why it is so important to stay up to date with these innovations or risk being left behind

“Thanks to decades of scientific and social innovation, we are in almost every measure living healthier, longer lives than ever before. So this idea that the age of 65 is somehow a stopping point has really become outdated.”

“It’s a lot like a tree. When we’re young, all trees look the same, we all have the same kind of sapling, the same kind of structure. But as we live, we become more diverse. We have different outcroppings of branches, and leaves, and different cycles of when we bud.”

“Tech companies’ single biggest problem is ageism. It’s not racism or sexism it is ageism and there is enough data out there to prove that.”

“As we enter this new period of time for humans where there are more older people and fewer younger people, technologies like Web3 and Metaverse, they’re going to help us find efficiencies in the system because we simply don’t have enough younger people to take care of the older population.”

“There are a lot of constructs in the world so why can’t they be in the virtual world as well? They will be. We’ll carry those constructs with us.”

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Longevity, Brain Health, & Post-Cancer Therapy: Dr. Scott Sherr Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT)? How does HBOT aid in longevity, brain health, and cancer treatments? What are the different HBOT protocols and what are the pros and cons of each? How can someone try HBOT? How can one expect to feel after the treatment? Can we do HBOT at home?

Dr. Scott Sherr, the director of Integrative Hyperbaric Medicine and Health Optimization at Hyperbaric Medical Solutions, joins us on the SuperAge podcast to share everything we need to know about hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Specifically, he discusses how HBOT promotes longevity, brain health, and aids in post-cancer therapy. He also explains the mechanics of HBOT, who will benefit, and some supplemental healthy habits we all should be doing to optimize our health.

What you will learn:

What HBOT is
Who can benefit from HBOT
Who should not do HBOT
The different HBOT protocols and mechanics of the treatment
Healthy habits to optimize your health
What is oxidative stress

“You can’t argue with the imaging, as far as I’m concerned. You can’t argue with somebody’s brain that’s either had a stroke or traumatic brain injury, gets into a hyperbaric chamber and then you can see their brains come back to life.”

“I was asked to speak at a hyperbaric conference during the pandemic and the first title that I had was: ‘Please don’t put them in the chamber.’ Because of course, if you have a therapy, you’re going to want to use it on everybody. So one of the roles that I have in the hyperbaric world is to try to educate people on when is the best time to use the chamber, what types of chambers are best to use for that particular condition, and when to not go into the chamber.”

“Senescent cells are also called zombie cells. The reason they’re called zombie cells is because they don’t die and they don’t divide. They just stick around, don’t work anymore, and cause inflammation. As we get older, the population of senescent cells increases, and as they increase so does your risk of cancer, heart disease, and inflammation degeneration.”

“What hyperbaric therapy is doing is it’s very much working at the cellular level.”

“Everyone can benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy at some point in their life. It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.”

“More is not always better. It’s not the American way here. We want to fine-tune our protocols so that we’re focused on the brain, or we’re focused on the body.”

“Unfortunately the medical paradigm is: drugs first, ask questions later.”

“It’s the sugar-fed animals that get diabetes. It’s the sugar-fed animals that get fatty liver. It’s the sugar-fed animals that shoot their lipids up in their blood. It’s the sugar-fed animals that develop hypertension.”

“When the body thinks it doesn’t have enough energy, it goes into a survival mode. And it stores fat, stores carbohydrates as glycogen, becomes insulin resistant.”

“We actually could reverse obesity in animals that were overweight on sugar by increasing their water intake.”

“I encourage everyone to hydrate better. Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, maybe in some cases up to 10 glasses day.”

“Of the 1 in 8 women who will receive an invasive breast cancer diagnosis at some point in her life, only 5-10% are genetic. And that baffled me. That’s when I put the journalism hat on, I started all the research, I dug in deep, and I learned it really is what we put in, on, and around our bodies that turn on or off certain dormant cancer cells or genes.”

“Just start. If it’s 5 minutes once a week because that’s all you can do because you’re starting from zero, that’s okay. That is absolutely okay.”

Peptides - The Future of Medicine: Kien Vuu, MD Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

What are peptides and what are the benefits? What are some of the cautions? How are peptides administered? How can I find a doctor who is trained in anti-aging or functional medicine?

Dr. Kien Vuu has joined us on the SuperAge podcast twice before to share his knowledge on Regenerative and Anti-Aging medicine and today he joins us to dive into the topic of peptides, of which he is an expert. Peptides can help with performance, sexual health, skin health, hormone balance, gut health, immunity, and more. How? Dr. Vuu explains the lofty subject of peptides in an approachable way. He discusses the many benefits of incorporating peptides into our routines lets us know where to start.

“A lot of the protein function as well as the peptide function decrease with age.”

“There is detriment when you try to push yourself too much. And as a physician in the anti-aging space, you have to kind of judge what is safe for the patient and what is not.”

“It is the habits we have that dictate whether we have optimal health and the performance we want, or we are in a stress state.”

“There are a lot of black market peptides going on right now so be aware of them.”
