Kylene Terhune joins me once again for this episode. This time, she talks about sexual betrayal trauma. She shares the importance of processing emotions in trauma and explains how trauma impacts the nervous system and leads to symptoms and disease. She also gets into what the healing process for sex addiction and betrayal for couples looks like and the pitfalls to be avoided. The compilation of things that happen with pornography, technology, and addiction: The prevalence of pornography is increasing tremendously. Access to pornography is becoming easier. Technology has addictive qualities. Pornography gives people a dopamine hit.  Children get exposed to pornography before the pre-frontal cortex has developed fully, and trauma is typically involved. For those who had trauma in their childhood, early exposure to pornography is more likely to cause an addiction.

Today, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about DNA Methylation.  Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline. We are living for a shorter time and according to the World Health Organization, even though we have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, the average age for developing a serious illness is 63.1 years old. That means that we spend the last 16.2 years of our life ill. Aging is driven by DNA methylation, a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off. We use DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to measure biological age. DNA methylation changes as we age, to our detriment, and it’s not just a surrogate marker of aging. DNA methylation appears to drive aging itself.  Foods that could lower your biological age: Liver [or liver capsules] Eggs Mushrooms [shitake or enoki] Leafy greens Pumpkin seeds Blueberries Turmeric   Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Bio: Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in clinical research on DNA methylation using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her virtual and in-person Functional Medicine clinic.  She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing an 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that will help you live better and longer.  In her quest for personalized health care for all, she leads clients through her Younger You Program and has as a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths, and Healing Tonics.  Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine [IFM] and is an IFM Certified Practitioner.  She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. In this episode: How cancer hijacks our epigenetics. [4:25] Dr. Fitzgerald defines methylation and explains how it differs from DNA methylation. [9:05]  Foods that are important to improve methylation. [15:45] Foods that seem to direct epigenetic traffic. [17:39] Lifestyle pieces that could favorably influence DNA methylation in addition to the diet. [19:33] Foods that could lower your biological age. [25:46] Studies show that people who drink coffee live longer. [27:44] How to exercise to help prevent aging. [30:32] Foods to avoid that could be pro-aging. [33:13] Supplements that are recommended for anti-aging. [40:10] A backdoor approach for those who do not tolerate supplements well.

Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist," joins me today to talk about oxidative stress, mitochondrial efficiency, and Carbon 60, also known as C60. Ways in which oxidative stress can damage the body: Rips holes in cell membranes Prevents proteins from folding properly Damages cellular blueprints (DNA and RNA) Ken Swartz Bio: Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available. Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor.  During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. He noticed, after taking C60 for a couple of months, that not only was it protecting him from radiation, but he discovered that his health was also improving. So, he continued taking it.  About eight months after Ken started taking C60, he was at a routine visit with his optometrist and discovered that his *dry Macular Degeneration was gone. His doctor was dumbfounded and told him that in all his years, he had never seen such an improvement.  Due to this healing experience, Ken decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and production of C60 Buckminster Fullerenes. In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA.  Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health.  *However, disclaimer here, these statements and products have not been approved by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.  In this episode: What C60 is, and what it does for the cells. (5:36) What is oxidative stress?
