Ira Pastor, ideaXme longevity and aging ambassador and founder of Bioquark interviews Dr. Michael Lustgarten author Microbial Burden.
Ira Pastor comments:
Throughout the 20th century, natural products (primarily those from plants, fungi, and bacteria) formed the basis for a majority of pharmaceuticals, biologics, and consumer healthcare products used by patients around the globe, generating trillions of dollars of wealth. However, many scientists believe we have only touched the surface of what the natural world, and its range of organisms, which from a health and wellness perspective are much further advanced than human beings, has to teach us.
Latest research to increase lifespan and fight aging
Lately, novel research disciplines, including “interkingdom signaling” and “semiochemical communication”, the respective abilities of one species’ living signals affecting the genome of another, not to mention in-depth study of the microbiome and virome, are highlighting entirely new ways that non-human bio-products can affect the human genome for positive transitions in health and wellness.
Interview with Dr Michael Lustgarten, thought leader in the science to fight aging
In the following interview with Dr. Michael Lustgarten of Tufts University, USDA Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging, a major thought leader in the space, we dive into all these topics including:
His PhD in Physiology, background education and doctoral work in Physiology from The University of Texas San Antonio. Research focusing on the microbiome and serum metabolome at Tufts to fight aging. His several years at Tufts working on research on both the microbiome and serum metabolome (biologic age tracking) in regards to the impacts on human muscle mass, physical function and aging.
We will discuss his new book Microbial Burden: A Major Cause Of Aging And Age-Related Disease (and what we can do to fight back!).
Dr. Michael Lustgarten will go into the many “translational” future possibilities as it pertains to microbiome interventions as it relates to gut, skin, CNS, and oral cavity health as well as the importance of “biological age tracking” and testing. In the interview we will also be talking about the advent of “DIY” consumer testing, micro-biome screening and bio-hacking to fight aging and increase lifespans. Insights into research of the human virome and future research possibilities with mutualistic symbionts. Dr. Lustgarten will tell us who he would like to meet and why and we’ll go on a little science fiction journey in the ideaXme time machine.
