Welcome to Younger, The Art and Science of Youthful Aging where you’ll learn the latest cutting-edge strategies for natural regenerative ways to reverse aging from top health experts worldwide. My show is all about looking and feeling younger every day using non-toxic solutions that tap into your body's intelligence to regenerate. I’m your host Dr. Robyn Benson - an expert in regenerative medicine and founder of ART - Amplified Regenerative Therapies at Santa Fe Soul Center for Optimal Health.
Episode Summary:
Everyday life offers lots of challenges. Today, more than ever, I would like to discuss natural mindful pathways that will help us shift the way we cope with them in the midst of chaos!
Each one of us has a host of stresses that we deal with. At work, at home, in our relationships, and in our own head. This next YOUNGER podcast episode is a place for you to consider new ways to handle that stress in a mentally healthy way – with mindfulness and self-care.
While you’ve probably heard of both these terms, you may not be completely familiar with them. So, before we move on, let’s define “Mindfulness.”
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.
Before you start taking steps to control the way your mind reacts to chaos and difficult situations, it’s important to learn how to be conscious of the chaos and how it affects you. Then, you can take measures to mend or re-direct your cognitive process.
Historically, we haven’t—as a society—been taught to give our mental health the attention it deserves. As a result, we’ve learned to sweep issues under the rug, grin and bear it through toxic relationships, and overload our schedules because we’re afraid to say ‘no.’

Quotes:
“Begin with awareness, then begin to control of your mental health, mindfulness by supporting yourself with lots of self-care. Recognize it all goes hand in hand.”
“If you feel exhausted just by the idea of hanging out with someone, it’s probably a sign that you should move on.”
“My three favorite ways to make a space feel better? Ditch the clutter, add more light, and adopt a plant.”
“In order to cut down on chaos in your life, you’ve got to make it a priority to keep your plate filled with the right amount of work that your mental health can handle. Many times, this means learning how to say ‘no.’”
“Dedicate time to learn how to love yourself.”
Episode Summary:
While some people love to organize, others think it is a chore. Many patients are surprised to hear the number of health benefits associated with an organized life.
According to WebMD, taking a few minutes to organize your space during a slump in your day can give you a much-needed energy boost. Allowing yourself to finish your day by getting your desk or workspace organized can help you work more efficiently the next day, and help you have peace of mind to relax at the end of the day.
Interestingly, a study from Psychological Science found people who are organized also have better-eating habits. Avoid snacking on junk food at their desk by keeping it free from clutter. It is more likely you might opt in for an apple than that candy bar. As we know, one good choice often leads to another!
Brushing up on your organizational skills can positively impact your sleep. This benefit is twofold.
A clutter-free space is more relaxing and invites rest. Additionally, being organized will prevent you from lying awake thinking about all the things to be done tomorrow.
This leads to the no-brainer, being organized reduces stress. How many times are you in a rush but can’t find something you're looking for? This sets a negative tone for the rest of the day. According to a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, people with cluttered homes were more depressed, fatigued, and had higher cortisol levels.
My goal on this episode of YOUNGER is to share the benefits of being organized, including a great technique to help you make this task less daunting. Let’s get started!

Quotes:
“Who would have thought tidying up could improve your life, right?!”
“When your belongings are in their rightful place, you can reduce the overwhelming feeling of having to put everything away, which can then help you find things when you need them.”
“Save time! Get organized to allow you do the things you’d rather be doing.”
“Knowing what you already have can also save you money! When you are disorganized, it is easy to over-purchase at the grocery store because you’ve forgotten what you already have.”
“When your home is tidy, you’ll feel more at ease with having people stop by for a visit.”
Episode Summary:
Do you know the leading factors that can contribute to Acid Reflux and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)?
Below we are providing Dr. Hyman's top list, which we found on his Ultrawellness Center website:
-Eating right before bed.
-Eating too much.
-Being overweight can push your stomach up, causing reflux.
-Chronic stress affects the nerves in your stomach, making it impossible to process the food properly. This will cause food to go up instead of down.
-Loss of magnesium, which is caused by stress. Magnesium is needed to relax the sphincter at the bottom of your stomach that actually lets the food go down.
-Food sensitivities may not be diagnosed, including gluten and dairy.
-Bad bacteria or yeast growing in your stomach. If you have been on a lot of antibiotics, if you have been on hormones, if you eat a lot of sugar and processed food, you could grow bad bugs in your gut, and they ferment and can cause reflux.

“Did you know that between 4%-10% of adults experience symptoms of acid reflux or GERD on a daily basis, and in Western countries, up to 30% of adults experience symptoms weekly?” ---Dr. Axe, n.d.
“It is always important to begin by looking at the foods you might be eating which could be exasperating your existing acid reflux and GERD symptoms.”
According to Dr. Mark Hyman, n.d., director of Ultrawellness Center, “There’s a whole series of causes, everything from what you are eating, to your lifestyle, to stress, to smoking, caffeine, alcohol, to bacteria in your gut, to food sensitivities—all these things can trigger reflux.”

“According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for protein intake is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight (or 0.36 grams per pound of body weight). However, they also note that a healthy diet can consist of 10–35% protein.”
Episode Summary:
Obviously, your skin provides the physical barrier to protect what is inside of your body. It also helps to regulate your temperature and act as a route for elimination for fluids like sweat and oils. This is why good lifestyle with disciplines in a self-care practice should be taken seriously.
Our skin IS ruled by our hormones and is covered in small glands called sebaceous glands. They secrete an oil called sebum that helps lubricate your skin and keep it healthy. Within these glands are receptors that respond to hormones, and react according to factors like hormone levels.
“There are millions of products out on the market that claims to “fix” your skin issues, but we encourage you to stop chasing the hype and get back to basics when it comes to treating your skin.”
In this next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will discuss the basics of how to maintain good health through your skin. There are many factors to consider, such as age, diet, exercise, sleep, and stress. Listen as I am inclusive in the opportunity for all to understand its powerful connection to living a youthful and regenerative life.

Stress and Acne: https://www.wellandgood.com/good-looks/does-cortisol-cause-acne/
Quotes:
“Too much cortisol can result in acne and thinning skin. Low levels of cortisol can result in changes in skin color and pigmentation.”
“It’s very common women might experience acne alongside their monthly menstrual cycle due to their estrogen levels dropping!”
“In the skin, estrogens affect the thickness, wrinkle formation, and moisture levels. Estrogens can also increase glycosaminoglycans such as Hyaluronic Acid, to maintain fluid balance and structural integrity.”
“Testosterone is the hormone responsible for coarser hair and thicker, oily skin. This hormone is heavily involved in sebum production, and too much can cause acne, clogged pores, and other blemishes.”
Key Takeaway Qs to Answer: Do you find yourself feeling unfulfilled? Unworthy? Did you check all the boxes and built a life, a career, a family but still, have an empty feeling as if something is missing? Why is soul work important in this day and age? Are our listeners bound to still have bad days from time to time even after finishing the lessons in the book? How do they go about changing that? How did you identify the categories for reclaiming your soul and breaking them up into six weeks?
Episode Summary: From an early age we’re taught that in order to be worthy, to find true happiness, to be “somebody,” we have to accomplish many things. We become achievement machines, always grasping for the next big win to send a signal to the world—and to ourselves—that we’ve “made it.” That we are happy.
But do we ever “make it,” really? Are we truly happy not in the “#livingmybestlife” and “#blessed” way in which we caption our social
media pages, but from a truly contented place of inner peace and joy? One where the yearning for the bigger house, the better job, the younger, more pliable spouse takes a backseat to the yearnings of our hearts and souls, a place where contentment just “is”?

This can start almost anywhere within the body. The abnormal cells that would have otherwise died off, survive, multiply, and initiate the growth of tumors.
My hope is this YOUNGER podcast episode will exceed your expectations and help you feel well equipped with the knowledge, resources, and tools to arm you and your loved ones from cancer!

Episode Summary:
When forming deep, intimate relationships with a partner, it’s important to feel safe sharing our deepest dreams, desires, fears, past histories, traumas, and goals for the future.
Interdependence requires some degree of being dependent upon one another wherein each partner influences the other meaningfully, frequently, and vastly.
Genuine, selfless care is another hallmark of healthy intimate relationships, while trust is the confidence that we place in a partner to act in a way that will not cause us purposeful harm. Trust is a top characteristic when most people are asked to define what they want in a partner, and for good reason!

Episode Summary:
Think about it, our bones support the body structurally, protect our vital organs, and allow us to move. To add to the importance of our bone structure for the body, they provide an environment for bone marrow, where blood cells are created, and they act as a storage area for minerals, particularly calcium.
At birth, we have around 270 soft bones and as we grow, some fuse together leaving the adult human body with 206 bones, 26 of which are in each foot and 54 in each hand and wrist.
In general, our bones stop growing in length during puberty. Bone density and strength are known to change over the course of life.
