How do you explain aging when it comes to skin?
2
You know people keep saying, oh but my grandmother didn't have this skin at this age.
3
But when you go to see, longevity actually meant the length and the duration.
4
How GH can actually affect our aging negatively.
5
You see a lot of people who are using it for bulking, but you're also seeing people using it for as an anti-aging tool.
6
You know a lot of people have these alkaline machines, water like you said.
7
Yeah and they're very expensive.
8
They're very expensive but there's something that's kind of playing on my mind.
9
Some of them are setting the pH to 9.5, 10, 11 and using the water on their face.
10
Aren't we upsetting the microbiome of the skin because isn't it regulating its own pH with its own intelligence?
11
It's very interesting you bring up this point.
12
So if you do a google search on water, it shows up seven types of water and other than
13
that the beauty water which is actually meant for cosmetic use should have a pH between only four to six.
14
Because our skin is protecting against microbes.
15
And you don't want it alkaline.
16
Our natural mantle is acid.
17
My microbiota is producing an acid mantle for my skin to prevent me from external pathogens.
18
When I'm going to go alkalinize it, I'm killing that.
19
And I'm breaking that barrier.
20
So of course the outside triggers will aggravate me.
21
So everyone out there who's just using randomly very strong AHA waters or AHA toners,
22
it could be ripping your skin off its essential moisture and disrupting your microbiome.
23
Yeah, I agree.
24
I just want to make a point because we have
25
so many people using alkaline water on their face thinking it's going to moisturize them more
26
but it's changing the pH and actually doing the opposite.
27
No, that's a powerful point.
28
You need to understand that acne is actually one of your commensal bacterias
29
which starts growing because the pH of your skin got altered.
30
Now, when I am lathering my skin, I'm changing the pH of the skin, I'm clogging my pores, at the same time I'm affecting the microbiome over time.
31
And these things no one really delves into
32
because it is at some level very scientific but if you go to think it's the absolute basics that exist.
33
So the whole world is talking about microbiome but you know it's the simple difference, people don't understand that there is a difference in the microbiota,
34
there is a difference in the microbiome and it's what it's doing to your skin.
35
So you're altering it over time, genetic changes are not just going to happen over one or two months, it's something we've chosen to do over years.
36
What would your advice be to young girls, women out there who, you know,
37
they live such stressed out lives today because their skin's affected and of course everyone wants to look good.
38
So from a preventive space in your practice, what would you advise the audience today to do to look after their skin to prevent,
39
you know, anything happening and if they have a problem, where should they start from?
40
I think more than talking to the audience if I could talk to myself when I was 20 year old,
41
the one advice that I would give myself was the parties will happen
42
and the lifestyle options that we're choosing will also happen but if they're done in moderation, if I just choose to go to sleep on time
43
and make sure that my circadian rhythm is kept intact and And keep my drinking and smoking to as limited as possible.
44
And make those changes with diet.
45
You will live a life which is much healthier for a much longer time.
46
And one important thing is that never overlook any symptom.
47
If you are not feeling the best version of yourself.
48
And if you have been told that there is nothing wrong with you.
49
Don't stop there.
50
Dig deeper.
51
Find out what's really going on.
52
Whether it is acne or hair loss or something deeper like a sleep issue or a thyroid.
53
Get to the root cause and treat it.
54
Don't tell yourself I'm young.
55
It's okay.
56
It'll get better with time because with time it only deteriorates.
57
It's not going to get better.
58
How do you explain aging when it comes to skin and what can we do?
59
What are some of the signs that we can recognize, you know, in our skin with our own biofeedback that tells us, hey, we may be living the wrong way right now,
60
wrong lifestyle, or maybe I need to take a professional opinion from a skin specialist, from a doctor because these are my symptoms that are making me look older.
61
So I would love for you to talk about aging in your dimension.
62
Today's world when we talk about longevity you know people keep saying oh
63
but my grandmother didn't have this skin at this age but
64
when you go to see longevity actually meant the length
65
and the duration but now people are using it synonymously with aging
66
and it's two different concepts because aging is happening very cellularly and longevity is actually you being free of disease.
67
So the concepts are completely different.
68
So what I've noticed a lot now in people is that
69
because we are exposed to such high levels of pollution in your environment, we expose our own bodies to so many toxins and chemicals,
70
the phytoestrogens which are just out there through materials that you are drinking bottles, you know plastic let's say for that makeup that women use, a lot of other factors,
71
this has accelerated aging and then comes in your diet which is a very very important factor.
72
We work very closely with Dr. Lee Williams work and he's a Harvard
73
angiogenesis the king of angiogenesis moved massively into nutrition
74
and his research on soy challenges all the fears
75
that we grew up with of course
76
if you're eating GMO soy no one should eat it forget about anyone exactly but
77
if it isn't genistein in soy we are actually now putting
78
our patients on it whether they're ER positive breast cancers prostate before we would just
79
because information was incomplete but we're learning how it can
80
and of course someone on a thyroid medication
81
if you're separating the time of soy and
82
that exactly there's absolutely no problem but it's amazing that's what i said right like
83
when you know about the medication
84
so you change the timing change there are tools to fix
85
that and when we you know it's funny we say oh let's avoid soy let's not eat edamame
86
but you're having cornflakes for breakfast it's filled with corn syrup you'll be shocked look
87
that i have two small babies and
88
when i was choosing a formula do you know how many
89
formulas like formula mixes for children are enriched with corn syrup and it's all GMO.
90
So literally I had to look for a formula
91
which stated non-GMO to make sure that I was not exposing my child's gut to it.
92
So this is how much stuff is out there and why it's important is being a dermatologist,
93
in your growth phases that's when your aging genes are also very heightened.
94
So if you make sure that you give your children
95
that optimum food requirement
96
and the supplement requirement in their growth sport phase you're actually
97
setting up for a better aging cycle for them yeah
98
but it's brilliant brilliantly put you're talking about growth i want to talk about growth hormones
99
because that's become something huge as well yes the young young
100
guys guys in the gym pumping themselves i understand certain sports allow certain cycles of gh
101
and a lot of our cricket players do it for cycles uh
102
but the average person just taking gh under the guidance of a trainer, we're actually seeing a lot of side effects happening and all of these things.
103
I can understand controlled environment calculated you're cycling it 14 days 21 brilliantly done
104
but today it's available everywhere and people are doing this what's your take on this
105
because before we started the podcast you were sharing some really
106
interesting research about how GH can actually affect our aging negatively I'd love you to talk about
107
that it's and I'm so happy to discuss this with you
108
because growth hormone as the name would suggest is needed for growth right
109
but it's become very popular as something that people are taking for vitality.
110
So you'll see as you said you see a lot of people who are using it for bulking
111
but you're also seeing people using it for as an anti-aging tool
112
and you know traditionally this term anti-aging it puts me off in
113
that sense because you cannot reverse what is meant to happen.
114
You can slow it and do it gracefully.
115
So when we are taking growth hormone which is not done in a cyclic
116
or under the moderation of a person who's trained to do it, you're actually putting your body to more harm
117
because it has shown to cause aging when taken long term
118
and not controlled and there are certain genes which get set off.
119
So you have a gene which is like your SIRT gene which is your protection.
120
Now growth hormone can actually interfere with that.
121
So in the long term when you look at it, it has more side effects than benefits and the same thing with glucene.
122
Glucene is just being given to people randomly for bulking.
123
So for that extra 5% body mass, do you really want to affect your longevity in the true sense?
124
Because that is what is actually affecting your longevity.
125
I'm not saying growth hormone is not good for you, right?
126
But you know this better than me, right?
127
Sleep is the most essential factor.
128
And there's a very interesting study which showed that if you just circulate your sleeping time on a regular basis,
129
there will be release of growth hormone which starts two hours after going into deep sleep.
130
That's true.
131
So if you start working on making sure
132
that you're going into your deep sleep patterns and doing it in a regular circadian manner, you can actually have your body regulate the growth hormone
133
that it needs for anti-aging naturally rather than pumping it synthetically
134
because that is actually very very risky and harmful because it's triggering your stem cells.
135
That's why it's growth hormone.
136
But if you trigger the wrong progenitor cell, you're calling for big trouble.
137
Absolutely.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
