This episode is full of the kind of advice I want to bring you more of. You, if you are, like me, swimming in an ocean of anti-aging, pre-aging, longevity suggestions. Supplements, protocols, diets, the hot new exercises--wondering how to make sense of it all. And, what's worth our investment?

I discovered Dr. Elizabeth Yurth, orthopedic specialist turned longevity expert, while researching spermidine. If not for her thoughtful guidance on how to take this "it" anti-aging supplement, I'd be pill popping to my detriment.

With 30 years of experience in sports and spine medicine, Dr. Yurth shares how she transitioned from simply "patching people together" to pioneering cellular medicine approaches that help people truly heal.

And she did this all while raising 5 children!

What You'll Learn:

• The truth about joint degeneration: it's not inevitable wear and tear but an inflammatory disease process that can be addressed
• How our most critical cellular components (like NAD and spermadine) decline with age and the smart way to approach supplementation
• Why plugging the "leaky bucket" matters more than just pouring in more supplements
• The science behind regenerative therapies including exosomes, stem cells, and peptides
• The surprising top three predictors of longevity (hint: they have nothing to do with supplements!)

Key Moments:

• Dr. Yurth explains why blindly taking NAD supplements can actually create problems without addressing the root cause
• The revolutionary approach to joint health that challenges the "joints just wear out" mentality
• Why your own stem cells might not be the best option as you age
• The three most powerful predictors of longevity that most people ignore

What predicts our health span might surprise you

"If you look at the top three predictors of longevity... the number one predictor is your socialization... Number two is the amount of time you spend actually in nature... And then the last one is... purpose."

Dr. Yurth's Human Optimization Academy empowers people to become their own health advocates by teaching them to understand their lab results and the science behind longevity interventions.
