Episode #106: Why Your GlycanAge Is So Important To Your Longevity
My guest this week is Dr. Lauc of GlycanAge!
In this episode, Dr. Lauc and I discuss the GlycanAge test. This test can help you understand aging due to lifestyle. This test can also help you determine if you may be developing disease. Not a lot of people know about or pay attention to glycans but it turns out they are very involved in your projected longevity.
How do I live longer? How do I improve longevity? The GlycanAge test can help. Learn how glycans work in the body and why glycans are important. Glycans are greatly affected by a persons lifestyle choices. If you eat well, get enough sleep, move your body regularly, and have healthy ways of dealing with stress, your GlycanAge is probably 20 years younger than your biological age! Hormones also effect GlycanAge. Dr. Lauc talks about hormone studies in men and women where their GlycanAge was drastically effected depending on how defecient or normal their hormone levels were. Finally, we discuss how a persons GlycanAge might affect their risk for severe COVID symptoms.

Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is a vital molecule made naturally in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation. As we age we produce less, resulting in diminished blood flow. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Nitric oxide also has topical impacts. Berkeley Life's new topical nitric oxide serum combines vitamin C and nitrite to create nitric oxide gas directly on the skin delivering oxygen and nutrients.
