And thanks for being right here.

Alessandra: Thanks, Katie. I’m very excited for our dialog. Thanks for the invite.

Katie: I’m additionally very excited for our dialog, and we’re going to speak rather a lot about growing older and pores and skin well being. However on that be aware, and earlier than we leap into simply the pores and skin facet, I’ve out of your bio that your organic age is 20 years previous, after which you’re the identical age as me, 35. So I’d love to listen to extra about what you attribute that to, as a result of I really feel like longevity and growing older is an enormous matter for lots of people, and that could be a massive distinction together with your organic age, which could be very spectacular. So kudos to you, however what do you attribute that to?

Alessandra: Yeah, I imply, quite a lot of mates are jealous after I present my organic age. And I first measured two years in the past. I’m very, like, naturally a really energetic particular person. So I used to be anticipating that I’d have like, a youthful organic age, however not that younger, truly how I really feel 20 years previous, to be trustworthy. However I feel what I attribute that’s quite a lot of my life-style. So I take care quite a lot of my sleep. I do meditations early morning. I train day by day, and I’ve a balanced food plan, like largely plant based mostly food plan. And I made quite a lot of these modifications on my wholesome types in 2018. So I don’t know the way was my organic age earlier than. I solely measured in 2020 for the primary time, however I feel all these issues that I added to my routine, day by day routine, I feel they’re contributing to have a decrease organic age.

Katie: I adore it. I feel you’re strolling proof, for one, however you hit the nail on the pinnacle with these elements of sleep being massively essential. All of us, I’d say of all of the over 600 folks on this podcast, no person disagrees that sleep is tremendous essential and really useful. However I like that you just additionally talked about meditation and motion. I feel these are big subjects as effectively. And you’re positively, like I mentioned, strolling proof that it really works. My organic age can be youthful than my precise age, not fairly as younger as yours. I feel I’m about 24. However I feel, additionally, such as you, I made quite a lot of these modifications as an grownup. And so it’s very encouraging to know that we do have a lot energetic management over that course of and that modifications we make, particularly behavior modifications, can actually, actually make an enormous distinction there, which I like.

Alessandra: Sure, I completely agree. And crucial and wonder a part of that is you could begin the modifications any time in your life and you’ll see the advantages and begin, like, slowing down this means of growing older.

Katie: Sure, completely. And doubtless such as you, I really feel extra energetic and youthful now than I truly felt after I was in my 20s.

Alessandra: Precisely the identical. I really feel like, oh my God, dwelling one of the best of my life.

Katie: I adore it. And if for anyone not watching the video, you additionally appear to be you’re about 20, your pores and skin is glowing, which is without doubt one of the issues I’m additionally going to be very excited to study from you right now about. However to begin off broad, perhaps stroll us by folks perhaps heard that the pores and skin is our physique’s largest organ, which I’d say perhaps as a tie between muscle and pores and skin is the physique’s two largest organs, each essential. However discuss to us about how pores and skin well being is related to total well being and the way with the pores and skin being such a big organ, it might inform us rather a lot about what’s happening.

Alessandra: Yeah, completely. We at all times like we take into consideration the very important organs on our physique, we take into consideration coronary heart, we take into consideration kidney, lungs, and we don’t assume that a lot concerning the pores and skin. However the pores and skin has an enormous function in our well being. It protects, it’s the primary protecting barrier that we have now towards the exterior atmosphere. It controls our physique temperature, our hydration. So if in case you have like a wholesome pores and skin, a robust pores and skin, you’re retaining, you’re like securing the well being of your interior physique. And should you’re having disfunction on the pores and skin, due to the scale of the pores and skin, it will likely be speaking with our physique and might have an enormous affect. It may be contributing so as to add to your well being and finally like the looks of different illnesses and dysfunction in different organs of our physique.

Katie: Yeah, completely. And it looks as if hydration is a big key for pores and skin well being and clearly additionally for the well being of our whole physique. Is any tip on that? As a result of I really feel like folks typically, for one, simply aren’t getting sufficient water to start with. But additionally it looks as if electrolytes and minerals come into play in an enormous means after we’re hydrating as effectively. Any ideas personally or out of your analysis on hydration?

Alessandra: Yeah, on hydration, truly having ingesting water is without doubt one of the first issues like consuming greens which are reaching water, like cucumber, as an example, can even assistance on hydration, however particularly like defending, having your pores and skin barrier protected. So like utilizing merchandise that may enhance the resilience of your pores and skin barrier, this can enable you to not lose the water that you’re intaking and maintain the hydration of your physique.

Katie: That is smart. And I really feel such as you touched on a key level with the water containing meals. And never solely, after all, you talked about you eat quite a lot of plant meals, however these meals have water in a special kind than we get from simply ingesting water. So it’s exceptionally useful and in addition are such a superb supply of micronutrients. So simply one other verify within the field for consuming all kinds of plant meals and vegetables and fruit being so essential.

And I additionally, you talked about the pores and skin barrier. Let’s discuss a bit bit extra about that as a result of that is perhaps a brand new time period for lots of people. And I do know that this goes far past simply placing lotion on once you get out of the bathe. From what I’ve learn, we have now a complete microbiome on our pores and skin, however there’s additionally that complete stability of hydration and that barrier that’s protecting. So we’re not dropping hydration by our pores and skin.

Alessandra: Sure. So the pores and skin barrier is like a lot of the outmost layer of your pores and skin is what is absolutely like, creating the barrier that protects our physique from the skin. So the pores and skin barrier is shaped by caroteno websites which are the cells from the epidermal layer that they stratified and so they kind this barrier. So there are two issues that may occur. One is, like, if there’s, like, an growing older course of taking place inside your pores and skin, if there’s irritation taking place in your pores and skin, it is going to have an effect on on how your pores and skin barrier is being shaped. So we’re at all times renewing our pores and skin barrier. So each like 28 days, we have now a brand new pores and skin barrier.

After which in case your pores and skin from the within will not be functioning accurately, most likely additionally, you will have a dysfunction in your pores and skin barrier. Utilizing lotions may also help, like, you to create that layer on high of your pores and skin that provides the safety. But when there’s one thing, like, not taking place from the within, you’ll nonetheless have, like, a dysfunction on the pores and skin barrier that may make you lose extra water and be extra vulnerable to pathogens, can create extra irritation, extra redness in your pores and skin.

Katie: Yeah, I like that we bought to get into that as a result of I really feel like that half will not be talked about very a lot. And for me personally, I did a deep dive for a very long time into oral well being, which there’s some similarities, like oral microbiome, pores and skin microbiome, and identical to with the pores and skin, I really feel like on the subject of oral well being, folks consider like, oh, it’s nearly what you place in your tooth. It’s should you put sugar in your mouth, should you put toothpaste in your tooth. However identical to you’re saying with the pores and skin, there’s a complete different layer, which is, are you getting sufficient of the correct fats soluble nutritional vitamins and vitamins by your food plan to really help wholesome saliva and wholesome manufacturing of enamel in your mouth? And that half doesn’t get talked about sufficient. Identical to with the pores and skin facet, folks typically consider like, oh, I’ve a pores and skin downside, I’m simply going to solely tackle placing one thing on high of it on the skin. However, such as you’re saying, there’s this complete stability of what’s going within the physique, not simply on the physique.

Alessandra: Yeah. And also you mentioned one thing like about consuming sugar within the oral well being, this additionally is expounded with the pores and skin. So sugar, after we eat quite a lot of sugar, it’s truly processed sugar and we spike the glucose ranges of sugar on our physique. This extra of sugar can bind on the collagen of our pores and skin and this creates like superior glycation finish merchandise. This makes what this implies, this makes your collagen fibers to not perform completely and begin to degrading. So what you’re consuming is definitely very related to your pores and skin well being as effectively. So it’s not solely what you placed on high of your pores and skin, however what you’re consuming can even have an effect on your pores and skin well being.

Katie: That’s such an essential factor to understand as effectively. Let’s additionally speak about how pores and skin growing older occurs and perhaps additionally usher in senescent cells as a result of I really feel like growing older is such an enormous trade and such an enormous matter, however it looks as if there’s a lot misinformation floating round.

Alessandra: There’s a lot. So growing older is a course of that’s taking place constantly all through all our physique and it’s like primarily a lack of the integrity of the perform of the cells of our physique. So this begins taking place and the factor is, when you’ve dysfunction in your tissue and also you begin accumulating this, your physique will not be functioning correctly and will get extra vulnerable to have like continual associated illnesses. That’s why after we get to 65 years previous, the probabilities that we are going to develop Alzheimer, that we are going to develop a most cancers, diabetes, they begin rising exponentially. It is because we bought to a degree that there’s dysfunction on the mobile degree on our tissues that’s like producing this atmosphere that’s extra vulnerable to illnesses.

So this occurs in all our physique and this occurs after all on our pores and skin as effectively. And we all know now within the science group that they’re like earlier than was 9. This yr was up to date twelve hallmarks of growing older, like twelve dysfunctions on the mobile degree that results in growing older. One in every of them is the buildup of what you mentioned, senescent cells that we are able to name to be simpler to grasp as broken cells. So after we are growing older, we’re like receiving, we’re being particularly on the pores and skin, we’re being uncovered to UV radiation, we’re being uncovered to totally different mild and these are inflicting harm on our cells. And if the cell will not be in a position to restore this harm, it will get to a degree that the cell begins not functioning as a younger cell anymore, begin having like a dysfunction. And often when it’s broken cell, they secrete irritation.

So these cells begin to secrete irritation. And it is a regular course of that at first tells your physique okay, right here’s a broken cell, let’s take away it. And our immune system cleared the cells out. With growing older, like what occurred is that our immune system additionally don’t reply anymore in addition to after we are younger and these cells begin accumulating in our physique and they’re secreting irritation. So we just like the analogy to say that they’re performing like a nasty apple in a basket. So they’re spoiling the wholesome tissue like they’re secreting this dangerous like signaling that’s irritation. So if in case you have and also you proceed having the senescent cell there, you’ll begin like creating dysfunction on the tissue.

After which on our pores and skin. Once you begin accumulating senescent cells this begins like resulting in degradation of collagen of extracellular matrix which results in sagging of the pores and skin and this additionally like impair the renewal of the epidermal layer and the manufacturing of the pores and skin barrier so you haven’t sturdy much less sturdy pores and skin barrier after which coming again to the general well being like what I used to be saying earlier than, as a result of the pores and skin is the most important organ, the irritation that we’re accumulating on the pores and skin, it’s additionally like sending the signaling to our interior physique. So if in case you have a pores and skin that’s accumulating an excessive amount of senescent cells that’s being broken, that’s not defending your physique, you’re signaling to inside your physique like irritation and this may be driving different continual illnesses inside your physique.

That’s why we imagine it’s essential to keep up the pores and skin well being. To keep up, like a correct pores and skin barrier, scale back this accumulation of broken cells on the pores and skin, so the pores and skin can act as a younger pores and skin. Producing what it wants to supply defending our physique and never like creating this extreme of irritation that’s even now, like after we are growing older there’s a time period referred to as inflammaging, the irritation that accumulates with growing older.

Katie: That is smart. So principally irritation form of quickens the method of pores and skin growing older.

Alessandra: Sure, precisely. So what we wish to do is, like, to scale back this extra of irritation. So that you’re like wholesome skins, they don’t get, like, contaminated, as a result of the irritation can act on a wholesome cell, reworking the cell to additionally turn out to be senescent, to additionally begin secreting irritation. After which when you’ve quite a lot of irritation in your pores and skin, you don’t produce, like, a correct pores and skin barrier. And it’s very attention-grabbing as a result of we’re in a position to actually reproduce this within the lab.

So in our lab we construct 3D pores and skin fashions and the best way we do that is like having the 2 important pores and skin cells fibroblast and keratinocytes. The fibroblast, they go on a layer of collagen that kinds just like the derms of the pores and skin and on high of this we put the keratinocytes that produce the pores and skin barrier. So if in case you have cells from a 30 years previous donor and also you construct the pores and skin, you often get a really lovely stratification in a pores and skin barrier. If I induce harm on the fibroblast earlier than and the cells are secreting irritation, when I attempt to construct the pores and skin, the pores and skin barrier is totally compromised. So this reveals like how the irritation that’s accumulating on the pores and skin is sort of like unbalancing the wholesome state of the pores and skin.

Katie: And in a minute I wish to go deep on methods we are able to undo that irritation. However I wish to study a bit bit extra about this as a result of I do know you guys measure pores and skin growing older additionally in your lab and we talked about your organic age in the beginning. You additionally do organic age of pores and skin, proper? So are you able to stroll us by the way you measure pores and skin growing older and perhaps simply a number of the info you gathered from that analysis?

Alessandra: Sure, after all. So everyone knows and it’s straightforward to grasp the idea of chronological age lately that like, we’re born the Earth go across the solar, one yr, two years, we’re all like, growing older on the identical velocity. Everybody that was born April 3, 1987, will flip 36 years previous this yr.

However the best way our physique is growing older, the best way our cells are responding, this relies rather a lot on every particular person’s life-style and the way they’re treating their physique. So our organs, our cells, they are often growing older in several velocity even when we have now the identical chronological age. So we’re in a position now to measure this organic age. This implies we glance to the DNA and we are able to decide the age of that pores and skin. And that age could be very near the chronological age, could be like superior, which means that the pores and skin is behaving as an older pores and skin or it may be like youthful, which means that pores and skin is behaving as a youthful pores and skin.

So we have now developed a selected algorithm to measure the pores and skin organic age as a result of, just like the totally different tissues of our physique, they age otherwise. And since we have been very particular, studying just like the growing older means of the pores and skin for us was essential to grasp this extra nuances that may occur on the pores and skin that should you measure by a saliva pattern or by a blood, perhaps you’ll not get precisely what’s happening on the pores and skin.

So we constructed an algorithm that reads the DNA of the pores and skin and is ready like to find out if a pores and skin the organic, what we are saying the true age of the pores and skin. And with these two, we are actually in a position to see if any interference made on that pores and skin utilizing a high product or like after we are trying to find a brand new energetic, if they’re actually, like focusing on, growing older and reversing the organic age of the pores and skin or if they’re solely treating the signs that makes the pores and skin look youthful however not but functioning as a youthful pores and skin.

Katie: Yeah, I really feel such as you guys are actually pioneering this. Like, quite a lot of firms declare to struggle growing older, however you’re truly measuring tangibly if it’s truly working or not. And I’d guess there are most likely identical to we talked about with dental well being and pores and skin well being. There are some inside elements that come into play right here as effectively. And I do know we’ll discuss concerning the topical ones that you just guys have actually accomplished the analysis on as effectively.

However I’d love to listen to what are a number of the sort of worst offenders that we are able to do internally or life-style elements which are going to extend pores and skin growing older and irritation and or what are a number of the greatest methods we are able to enhance that from the within out. After which we’ll discuss concerning the outdoors merchandise we are able to use too.

Alessandra: Yeah. So from the within, as I used to be mentioning earlier than, there are a number of what you’re consuming, sugar is absolutely like, extra of sugar is absolutely dangerous to your pores and skin as a result of it might actually bind to collagen. Water, like hydration. Greens which are wealthy in water are additionally superb in your pores and skin growing older. And the opposite factor after we’re speaking about like how as a result of lots of people take into consideration their pores and skin and that’s additionally okay as their look, proper, we affiliate rather a lot with the aesthetics. We wish to look good. I’m speaking concerning the pores and skin well being, I’m speaking concerning the pores and skin functioning as a younger tissue.

So quite a lot of instances to make your pores and skin look youthful, there are a number of very aggressive, intense procedures that you are able to do that will hurt your pores and skin. So quite a lot of like deep peeling if you concentrate on you’re exposing your pores and skin to extra just like the atmosphere so that you could be rising the irritation of the pores and skin. So there is sort of a mixture that we’d like to consider. In the event you’re making an attempt to get a greater look of your pores and skin, consider like combining additionally, like on treating your pores and skin to not solely look youthful however truly perform youthful. So you’re like serving to your physique and never solely like simply masking some signs of the growing older course of.

Katie: That is smart. One other verify for hydration and avoiding extra sugar, that are different particular themes amongst podcast friends for common well being as effectively. These are issues that, such as you mentioned, they’re going to profit many features of bodily well being. And I do know that you just guys have accomplished particular analysis into some issues that can be utilized topically that sound like they really enhance the pores and skin from the interior facet as effectively and form of assist reverse that course of. Are you able to stroll us by what these are and the way you discovered them?

Alessandra: Yeah. So what we’re in a position to do is we created a platform the place we replicate the growing older course of in vitro. After which with this platform, we’re in a position to measure the biomarkers, markers which are related to growing older on the pores and skin. So markers that may inform me if I’ve extra like, irritation in my pores and skin, if I having extra like this senescent harm cells on the pores and skin. And I can also look to the construction and see how the pores and skin barrier, if it’s sturdy or if it’s being disrupted. So these two permit us to check totally different topical merchandise and in addition like to search out and determine new actives.

So after we began our analysis, what we seen was that the merchandise that we have been testing, they don’t goal the markers of growing older. To allow them to typically make your pores and skin produce extra collagen, which is able to plump your pores and skin, which is able to create a greater look of your pores and skin. However you’re nonetheless accumulating broken cells in your pores and skin. So it’s a younger wanting pores and skin that has steering the within collected harm.

So what we did in our analysis after we realized that and noticed this chance was to construct a screening platform that will goal the buildup of broken cells on the pores and skin. So we have been in search of new peptides that would scale back the buildup of those broken cells. And with that, you have been in a position to permit the younger cells of your tissue to perform correctly and to supply like a wholesome pores and skin. So utilizing this platform that we determine our proprietary molecule that we name OS One.

Katie: Yeah, after which from what I perceive, it’s a peptide such as you mentioned. And I really feel like these are simply now actually hitting the mainstream when persons are enthusiastic about peptides, however I haven’t heard as a lot about them from the pores and skin facet. So I like that you just guys are actually pioneering that. I feel folks could have heard of individuals utilizing injectable peptides, as an example, for every kind of various issues inside the physique, however this one could be very particular to the pores and skin and in contrast to a number of the others, you’re not having to inject this. It could actually truly be used topically, proper, to get the identical profit.

Alessandra: Sure, and it’s essential as a result of we have now this platform, we’re additionally in a position to measure and to make sure that the peptide can penetrate the layers of the pores and skin. So there’s quite a lot of product typically that has like parts that they are saying, they declare they’ve some molecules that they don’t act, they aren’t doing something to your pores and skin as a result of they aren’t in a position to penetrate. So we’re in a position to make use of in our platform, mark the peptide and we assure that the peptide is ready to penetrate the pores and skin. After which you possibly can see the advantages of the motion of the peptides on the pores and skin.

Katie: And I’ve seen some actually spectacular earlier than and after photographs from folks with you guys. I do know you’re measuring this within the lab. Are folks seeing generally a discount of their pores and skin age from this and the way lengthy does that course of take? Persons are most likely listening, how do I do this and the way lengthy does it take?

Alessandra: Yeah, so for us first was the reverse facet. We began on the lab and we have been seeing like the advantages after we deal with the skins with the peptide. After which got here the query like after we apply we will see as a result of I can’t be measuring the mobile degree on a regular basis, so will I be capable to see enchancment on our pores and skin? After which we formulated and we bought to formulation that we’re in a position to really see.

We ran scientific research, so on our scientific research, after six weeks of steady use, you do see a greater look of your pores and skin. And we measured this pores and skin barrier on the scientific research, that was what we have been seeing very extensively within the lab. We have been in a position to see the advance on the pores and skin barrier perform after six weeks of use. So we’re proper out there for 2 years. There’s lots of people utilizing some folks declare like, outcomes sooner than that. Like after two weeks, they already seen the outcomes, the advantages, particularly first, it’s just like the hydration that occurs, however the deep end result comes with time. And since we’re growing older on a regular basis and we’re being uncovered to break on a regular basis, we deal with our product as a topical complement. It’s one thing that you’ll constantly use that will help you decelerate the growing older course of and that will help you maintain your pores and skin on the wholesome state.

Katie: Yeah, I feel it’s very synergistic to how I feel as effectively. And I discussed the oral well being facet, and I formulated merchandise particularly within the oral well being world, and that was my thought as effectively. It appears to me that absolutely the baseline must be we keep away from something actually dangerous in our merchandise, regardless that there are lots of merchandise that do include dangerous elements. To me, that must be the naked minimal. But additionally if we all know that the pores and skin is the physique’s largest organ, or that the mouth, something that enters the mouth enters the physique, as an example, my thought was, how will we then put useful issues? How will we make use of that in a great way? And also you guys are doing this with skincare in the best way that I’m making an attempt to do it with oral care and hair care. And I like I really feel just like the extra firms we have now like this, it’s going to assist shift the market, which desperately, I feel must be shifted.

This episode is sponsored by certainly one of my favourite firms Simply Thrive and particularly their Probiotic and Simply Calm dietary supplements, which I completely love. When you’ve got felt burdened recently, otherwise you ever get up at evening with frantic ideas and might’t calm your self down and fall again asleep, these is perhaps an answer for you.
