Living Life in Full Color
I have personally experienced that a key factor to help me balance the inner world of schedules and deadlines I tend to dwell in is for me to simply step outdoors into nature for a while. Be it a walk in the woods or pulling weeds and tending to the garden, I find my relationship with nature as one that aligns me with quiet reflection and the calm to make clear decisions and recognize what is truly important to me. At this time of year as Mother Nature paints her lively landscapes, I’m especially reminded that engaging my body and senses in this healthy, natural way is increasingly vital for my well-being.
At this time of year, nature saves its best for last. The trees are dressed in unapologetic glory, inviting us to live more boldly and to express the passions we may have held in before it’s too late. Yes, autumn reminds us how beautiful it is to let things go. We’re given the much-needed permission to let our hair down, allowing its locks to go silver or feisty red, and our souls may feel inspired to blow in the wind and free to come in for dinner a little late and disheveled.Living a life we love to live all year long should seem as natural as this flowing breeze, but for many of us, that is just not the case. With an end less to-do list and the mind chatter that keeps our thoughts preoccupied and constantly busy, it seems we often have little or no time to just play. How do we surmount this chal lenge to quiet the noise and find the space needed to create with intention and passion?
It’s incredible how small, daily choices like this can directly impact the quality of our lives and ultimately, our longevity. Lengthening our human experience is an age-old quest that’s actually becoming increasingly attainable as science advances. Today, researchers say there has never been a better time in history to maximize our potential for metabolic renewal.This is the subject of our feature article, “Growing Younger: Longevity Strategies that Help Reverse the Aging Process.” By better understanding biological age—the state of our health at the cellular levels—researchers are fine-tuning dietary, sleep, relaxation and exercise requirements that turn back the clock. No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to love yourself more, to consciously nurture your health and enjoy life’s many wonders while you are still able to. I’ve come to know that making each moment count is fundamental to creating a life well lived and loved. What does living a life you love mean for you? This month, while you’re hopefully out enjoying the crisp, fall air in our beautiful state, I hope you’ll take stock of the things you feel are truly important. Faith, family and relationships with others are some that come to my mind. At every stage of life, we are creating a legacy with our daily thoughts and decisions. I once heard that every action we take and deed we make has a mathematical equation attached to it, all tallied up at the end of our journey here. Are we ready for the consequences of that sum total? If not, there is still time to purify and uplift our way of being. Here’s to painting your own vibrant life masterpiece that you can be proud of and embrace each and every day of the year. Savor these remaining warmer days with joy!

“Unfortunately, medical doctors don’t know what Me niere’s disease is, what causes it, and as a result they don’t know how to treat it,” says Michael T. Burcon, B.Ph., DC, director of the Chiropractic Research Institute. “At best, they try to control the symptoms with drugs and surgery. It remains one of the most baffling and incapacitating conditions a person can experience.”Fortunately for those that suffer, Burcon made a major discov ery almost two decades ago that established a connection between both Meniere’s disease and trigeminal neuralgia with patients that endured head and neck injuries which misaligned the top of the neck and the base of the skull. He found that these types of trau mas can lead to Meniere’s disease as much as 15 years later, but that noninvasive chiropractic care specifically for the issue can dramati cally improve or even eliminate symptoms.

Age-related macular de generation (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in older Americans, became less of a threat in 1996 when the national Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) verified that certain beta-carotene and lung cancer, it was removed from the formula. Two carotenoids found in the retina—lutein and zeaxanthin—were added, and the formula was rebrand ed as AREDS2. In a new, 10-year, follow-up study by the National Eye Institute (NEI), AREDS2 was found to reduce late AMD symptoms an additional 20 percent compared to the original formula. “This 10-year data confirms that not only is the new formula safer, it’s actually better at slowing AMD progression,” says Emily Chew, M.D., lead author of the study and director of the NEI Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Application.
“This study broadens our understanding of factors that can influence responses to immunotherapies,” says author Dihua Yu, M.D., Ph.D. Unlike chemotherapy, which acts directly on cancerous tumors, immunotherapy treats pa tients by revitalizing their immune system and “teaching” it how to identify and destroy cancer cells.

In a study published in Cancer Discovery, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Cen ter reported that vitamin E can enhance immunotherapy responses in cancer patients by stimulating the activity of dendritic cells in tumors. Combing the records of patients with melanoma, breast, colon and kidney cancers that were being treated with immunotherapy, they found that taking vitamin E improved survival times and boosted treatment responses. In laboratory work, the researchers demonstrated that vitamin E directly binds and blocks the activity of the SHP1 checkpoint protein in dendritic cells, which primes T cells for an anti-tumor immune response.
The pandemic has challenged both children’s learning environments and their emotional well-being, but new research shows that playing adventurously outdoors and participating in team sports can help lower their mental health risks. Researchers from the UK University of Exeter surveyed nearly 2,500 parents of 5-to-11-year-olds in the UK and Northern Ireland. The study found that kids that climbed trees, rode bikes, jumped from high surfaces and had other outdoor adventures without adult supervision experienced a lower incidence of anxiety and depres sion, and were more upbeat during the COVID-19 lock down. In another study, researchers from California State University, Fullerton, found that kids in team sports like volleyball and soccer, but not others in individual sports like gymnastics and wrestling, did better emotionally and mentally. Analyzing data from 11,235 kids between 9 and 13 years old, they found that compared to kids that did not participate in sports, those that were on teams had a lower incidence of attention issues, social problems, anx iety, depression and withdrawal. Kids that participated in individual sports had higher levels of those mental health challenges.

new study from Australia’s Deakin University might accel erate that trend. Researchers examined 24 years of nutri tional and health data from 2,603 Finnish men between 42 and 60 years old.

Age Is Not Just a Number
Longevity Strategies that Help Reverse the Aging Process
by Marlaina Donato
Until recently, age was determined by the year on our birth certificate, but “bio age” is the new number to pay atten
L ongevity, a human quest through the ages, is now a hot topic among scientific researchers that assert there has never been a better time to maximize our potential for metabolic renewal. Biological age—the state of our health at the cellular level—is in the spotlight, as are the anti-aging benefits of science-supported phytonutrients, cell-rejuvenating foods and safe, non-surgical, stem cell procedures. Functional medicine, with its focus on the bi ology-based root causes of disease, is also a rising star in the arena of age reversal. No matter which path we follow to aging vibrantly, the most inspiring takeaway is that lifestyle, not genes, determines destiny. “On average in the United States, the last 16 years of life are spent with multiple diag noses and on multiple medications. We are giving our hard-earned money to pharmacies, hospitals and nursing facilities,” says Kara Fitzgerald, a naturopathic doctor in Newtown, Connecticut, and the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better. She and other researchers contrast “lifespan”, the years from birth to death, to “healthspan”, the years spent in good health free of age-related disease and disability. “Lifespan is not necessarily healthspan, and we can change that,” she says.

In groundbreaking work in 2017, anti-aging researcher Steven Horvath at the University of Califor nia, Los Angeles, used algorithms to calculate biological age on the basis of how extensively our genome is modified by a process called DNA methylation. Researchers are now understanding what factors can turn on positive gene expressions and turn off those that may activate life-threatening diseases.
The results, published last year in the journal Aging, showed that three years of bio age were reduced in the target group in just eight weeks compared to the control group. “What we eat, our stress load and our response to it, the quality of the air we breathe and if we exercise are all drivers or reducers of our bio age. Knowing this, we absolutely need to take responsibility for our lives,” says Fitzgerald.Thisbio age reversal is good news when we look at the grim statistics. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Cancer Society, approximately
“Bio age is how fast our bodies are aging, and aging is the main risk factor for all diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovas cular disease, dementia and neurodegenerative disorders,” says Fitzgerald, noting that only 10 to 20 percent of longevity outcomes areFitzgeraldgenetic. and her team drove this point home with the first randomized, controlled study on the power of lifestyle and diet to turn back the biological age clock. Based upon functional medi cine, the program enrolled 18 healthy men between ages 50 and 72 in a target group and 20 in a control group. Those in the target group ate a nutrient-rich diet, slept seven hours a night, practiced relaxation techniques and took supplemental probiotics and phytonutrients. They ate only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., exer cised for at least 30 minutes five days a week, avoided sweets and consumed two cups of dark, leafy, greens and three cups each of cruciferous vegetables and colorful vegetables daily, as well as six ounces of animal protein.

Molecular Magic Harvard genetics professor David Sinclair, author of the seminal Lifespan: Why We Age—And Why We Don’t Have To, discovered antioxidant-rich resveratrol in grapes in 2003. Since then, he and other researchers have found additional compounds with the ability to activate longevity pathways. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD, or B3), a coenzyme involved in many met abolic processes essential to life, has been shown to rejuvenate aging mice, increasing energy-producing mitochondria in the cells and fortifying muscle mass. The body makes less NAD as we age, but research suggests that intermittent fasting, exercise and heat saunas can stimulate this youth-preserving molecule. NAD-boost ing supplements are also on the market, but consuming foods like naturally fermented sauerkraut, raw milk, nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds is also a good strategy.
Chronic systemic inflammation is now understood to be the physiological springboard for most diseases ranging from cancer to depression, but its connection to uric acid is critical in producing free radicals that accelerate aging. “Unfortunately, most doctors look upon uric acid solely as a risk marker for gout. We now recognize that uric acid serves as a powerful signal in the body to prepare for food and water scarcity,” says neurologist David Perlmutter, author of The New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and the recent Drop Acid, a guide to lowering uric acid in the body. “Uric acid levels above 5.5 milligrams per decilitre trigger the body to raise the blood pressure, increase the blood sugar, become insulin-resistant and increase the formation and storage of body fat,” he says. “Central to regaining metabolic health and reducing risk for metabolic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, coronary artery disease and Type 2 diabetes is reining in uric acid.”
Fitzgerald concurs, “Excessive inflammation—an imbalanced immune response—ac celerates the aging process, and it increases with stress. Stress is the gasoline on the fire of aging.”Eating to reduce inflammation is key, and there is power on our plates when we add some of Fitzgerald’s longevity boosters like turmeric, green tea, shitake mushrooms, wildcaught salmon, eggs, liver and sunflower seeds. A study last year in Experimental Geron tology reported that the amino acid L-theanine, found particularly in green tea, reduced oxidative stress, liver degeneration and inflammatory responses in aging rats.
Radical Renewal Without Surgery
Chronic, unmanaged stress is a major factor in physical and mental decline due to elevated levels of cortisol. “Stress threatens the health and diversity of our gut bacteria, leading to increased gut permeability, a central mechanism underlying widespread inflam mation, which is the cornerstone of all chronic degenerative conditions,” says Perlmutter.
The Trifecta of Acid, Inflammation and Stress
“Those conditions as a category are ranked by the World Health Organization as the number one cause of death on our planet today.”
“While stem cell treatment has been quite effective, it is important to remember that avoid ing chemicals in the environment, exercising vigorously and maintaining a low BMI [body mass index] are clearly the most important factors in good health,” advises Prodromos.
In the daily survival game, the body’s stem cells generate specialized cells to replace those throughout the body that are damaged and dying. This ongoing repair process slows down as we advance in years, but cutting-edge procedures offer new hope for conditions ranging from arthritis to age-related brain fog.

“Stem cells improve DNA methylation and telomere length, and result in a reduced physiologic age compared to your chronologic age,” says Chadwick Prodromos, a Chi cago-based, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and the founder of the Prodromos Stem Cell Institute, in Antigua. “Joint replacements are offered quite liberally nowadays, but most of our patients with severe arthritis who were offered joint replacements do well in our care without them for virtually any joint in the body.” Prodromos and his team combine umbilical cord-derived stem cell treatment (non-embryonic/fetal) with specially selected nutritional supplements and in some patients, platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acidEveninjections.withexciting advances in the promotion of long life, experts are unanimous in stressing that going into our golden years disease-free begins and ends with individual lifestyle choices, starting with what we put in our mouths. “Diet is the most critical variable in terms of our meta bolic destiny. It’s been said that a person can’t exercise away a poor diet, and there’s great wisdom in this statement,” says Perlmutter.

In 1967, Tao Porchon-Lynch left a suc cessful Hollywood career as a model and actress to become a full-time yogi in her 50s. At age 87, she added ballroom dancing to her list of passions and at 93, she landed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest yoga teacher on the planet. She continued to teach a weekly yoga class just days before her death at age 101. “I love seeing students realize what is possible,” Porchon-Lynch said in an interview, and her words are an added incentive to reap the many benefits of a regular yoga practice at any Whetherage. it involves getting down on a mat or practicing modified poses with the use of a chair, yoga helps us to stay nimble, manage stress, reduce symptoms of depres sion and tame high blood pressure.

Ancient Moves for Modern Life
“What I learned is that we need four essential physical skills to navigate through life as we age—strength, flexibility, balance and agili ty—and we get that from yoga. We can find independence in our everyday life, and we don’t need a vigorous yoga class to do that,” says Ruth Pipitone, a gentle yoga instruc tor at various studios and senior centers in Northeastern Pennsylvania. For those that only associate the practice with youthful bodies and hip yoga gear, yoga is a full-spec trum practice. “Anyone can do yoga—gentle yoga, chair yoga and even wheelchair yoga.” Yoga Practice Keeps Us Young by Maya Whitman

The keystone of all yoga practice is working with the breath, an action that is naturally compromised by just getting out of bed and into the day’s challenges. “Most adults breathe from their chest. That’s where we activate the stress response of fight, flight or freeze. We need to use the lower lungs, too, so we can activate the para sympathetic nervous system to find calm,” says Pipitone Blair, who specializes in helping others to find emotional equi librium after trauma, concurs: “The nervous system is symbiotic with the breath, and vice versa. A long, deep inhale and a long, slow exhale can act as an immediate elixir for the nervous system to recognize that, in that moment, we are okay.” She has taught groups of people, some in wheelchairs and hospital beds, and she “still experienced the entire room shift when breathing together. As long as we are able to consciously notice breath, we can do yoga.”Nomatter how many trips we take around the sun, tapping into the life force can give us a new perspective. “I use asana (yoga poses) to examine my thoughts and feelings and to find introspec tion to examine what is happening with myself physically, as well as mentally and emotionally,” says Pipitone. “You become more mindful of what you need to carry with you and what you don’t need to carry with you.”

Natural Strategies Help Halt the Pain by Carrie Jackson
Headaches are one of the most common pain conditions in the world. According to the Cleveland Clinic, up to 75 percent of adults have had a headache in the past year. While symp toms vary in scope and intensity, under standing the underlying cause of a head ache can lead to better treatment outcomes. Most headaches can be treated holistically, and lifestyle modifications can be key to lasting relief. There are more than 150 types of headaches, with the most common being tension, migraine and cluster. Migraine
attacks, which according to the Migraine Research Foundation affect 12 percent of people in the U.S., are about three times more common in women than in men. Classic symptoms, which can be mild to severe, include throbbing or pounding pain located in the sinuses, forehead, back of the head or one of the temples
According to Alexander Feoktistov, M.D., Ph.D., founder of the Synergy Integrative Headache Center, in Chicago, many head aches are caused by some form of stress.
Heading Off Headaches
“Both physical and emotional stress can manifest with headaches. These are often triggered by changes in a routine or schedule, which throws the body’s regulatory rhythm off. Skipping meals, varying your sleep patterns and exercising inconsistently can all confuse the body and lead to a headache, varying in intensity from dull and distracting to severe and debilitating,” he explains.

Triggers Migraine can be triggered by changes in the weather, fatigue, stress, anxiety, insufficient sleep, dehydration and hormonal changes, according to the American Migraine Foun dation Headaches can also be provoked by certain allergens, such as cigarette smoke, exposure to harsh chemicals in cleaning or beauty products, mold, dust, caffeine, alcohol and fermented foods.
“The mind-body connection is fierce,” says Christina P. Kantzavelos, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in chronic illness and pain at Begin Within Today, in San Diego. “It’s important to keep in mind that pain literally originates in the brain. I use a Constructed Awareness approach with clients and bring curiosity to the pain they are experiencing, including headaches. What thoughts and emotions are coming up when they focus on the pain?” she says. “Physical symptoms are often the manifestation or tangible evidence of what is going on in your unconscious mind. Our bodies become stronger or weaker, depending on our emo tional state. Fear, self-criticism and invalidat ing the self can be the root of a headache.”
“If headaches disrupt your daily routine, are severe or frequent and/or poorly controlled with over-the-counter medications, it’s time to seek help from a headache specialist or other medical professional who can work with you on a path to healing.”
Good Practices Feoktistov recommends that patients expe riencing headaches start with lifestyle modi fications and over-the-counter meds such as ibuprofen. “Practice good sleep hygiene, stay hydrated by drinking water and minimiz ing caffeine, and introduce meditation as a way of focusing on what’s physically and emotionally going on in your body,” he says.
The Mind-Body Connection
23September 2022
“The less active someone is, the tighter their muscles are and the more likely they will experience headaches. Make sure to get out for a walk every day, or try running to keep the body and mind moving. Yoga is another great activity as a mindfulness practice that decreases stress and also keeps the body moving to eliminate tension.”

While not completely understood, men tal stress and anxiety can also be a trigger.
Supplements Help Nutritional supplements can also be helpful, Renee says. “Increasing nutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q-10 and riboflavin can help minimize pain. Before stocking up on supplements, be sure to consult with a holistic practitioner to make sure you are making the wisest and safest selections for you. Many nutrients can be found in com mon foods like dark chocolate, leafy greens, seeds and nuts, meat, fatty fish and legumes.”
Evidence suggests that acupuncture is effective in relieving the pain of headaches by changing the flow of energy, increasing blood circulation, releasing endorphins and relaxing muscles. Acupressure and other techniques can be done anywhere, says chiropractor and acupuncturist Michele Renee, director of integrative care at Northwestern Health Sci ences University, in Bloomington, Minnesota.
“The best acupressure point for headaches is the soft skin in-between the thumb and pointer finger. Massage it for 20 to 30 seconds at a time to relieve pain or hold it for 10 seconds,” she says. “Migraines are caused by vascular dilation in the head, so I recommend putting your hands and feet in hot water or taking a bath to stimulate blood flow away from the head to the rest of the body.”

From head to toe, anxiety to verti go, reflexology can help. Reflexol ogy is a science, acknowledged by the National Institute of Health, based on the principle that there are reflexes in the hands and the feet that correspond with every gland, organ and part of the body. I received my initial Certification in hands and feet from Branch Reflex ology Institute before going on to receive my Nation al Board Certification. I am privileged to work with a variety of clients—men, women and children of all ages—and the results I see from reflexology both personally and professionally continue to amaze me.
