Timeline Nutrition sponsored this podcast.IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… immunologist Anurag Singh, M.D., Ph.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Amazentis, joins the show to talk about urolithin A’s connection between inflammation, aging and your mitochondria. Urolithin A activates mitophagy and renews your mitochondria. “It takes all the cellular garbage that has been accumulating over the aging process,” Dr. Singh explains. “It revs it up, so it recharges. And so now, you're cleaning your metabolic waste products much more efficiently and they become the building blocks. This is mitochondrial biogenesis, and that means newer, healthy mitochondria coming in.”This new conversation takes an exciting turn into immunity and your immune system’s two lines of defense: innate and adaptive. You’ll learn:how inflammation plus aging (AKA inflammaging) contributes to a weakened immune system and a growing incidence of cancer as you age;how inflammaging and cancer are connected to mitochondrial dysfunction specifically during the aging process; andhow to approach your immune health differently with this new knowledge.A new study recently published in Immunity looks at how immune cells fight cancer better with a focus on immune modulation, immune cell exhaustion and immune responses. “A lot of urolithin A is anti-inflammatory, but a lot of it is immune modulation," Dr. Singh says. "So, it takes a rewiring of the immune system and makes it more conducive to stopping harmful immune responses.”Watch this episode on YouTube!SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: To learn more about the benefits of urolithin A, go to https://www.timelinenutrition.com and use code UPGRADE10 to get 10% off the plan of your choice.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Robynne Chutkan, M.D., joins the show to talk about a topic that’s foundational to biohacking—resilience. More specifically, resilience that starts in the gut. You’ll learn:how your microbiome continually evolves and why that matters to the state of your gut and body functions.how to strengthen the antiviral defenses located in your gut.why your body’s own ability “to resist, heal, and recover from viruses is vastly superior” to pharmaceuticals.what to do before taking antibiotics to protect your gut, as well as what you can do to rehab your microbiome after antibiotic use.“Being on the winning team when battling viruses isn’t because of good luck, or coincidence, or variations in viral virulence,” Dr. Chutkan explains in her newest book, “The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside Out.” "It’s due to differences in us, the hosts, and our defenses, and those differences are what determine your outcome. Put another way: it’s less about the potency of the pathogen and more about the health of the host.”Dr. Chutkan is a Yale- and Columbia-educated integrative gastroenterologist who’s been advancing knowledge and education about gut health for decades. Nearly 20 years ago she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness to help people get to the root issue of their digestive issues and improve their gut health.
