Yes, walking the dog counts. So does yard work, grocery shopping, and cleaning the floors. But it's not enough. Dr. Mike is back. He and John Asher are talking about your simple exercise plan and why it's important. We know this, but they get into the details of how different activities affect our bodies. From couch potatoes to bags of bones - find out in this episode how to easily convert to a stronger, healthier person who can fight off diseases.  The second activity in addition to movement is strength training. This is how our body protects us. John tells us about research that shows after age 40, we lose 1% of muscle mass per year after age 70, one and a half. So if you don't do regular strength training after age 40, by the time you're 80, you've essentially lost 50% of your muscle mass. They also discuss the benefits of something as simple as Vitamin D and its effects on our ability to fight off and recover from illnesses, diseases, and injuries.

Do you know what your toxic body burden is? That’s the amount of toxins within your body made up of chemicals absorbed from food, water, air, and even personal care products. While the individual impact of any of the toxins may be minimal, the combination of all of them could be detrimental to your health. Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer chemicals are commonly thought of, as are industrial exposures, smoke, and vehicle exhaust; but there also are toxins in construction materials, household cleaners, and even the toothpaste and shampoo you use.

Traumatic Brain Injury can come from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. We tend to think of bomb blasts, athletic impacts, and car crashes with TBI, but its symptoms can arise from non-violent means as well.

Her approach considers research from a whole-body perspective and spending a considerable amount of time with every patient to attempt to get to the root of their health concerns by connecting the dots of their health and history to shape a unique treatment plan because no two people are the same. In Dr. Donaldson’s words, “I offer hope to people who have no hope. I do this by passionately searching for the cause in order to appropriately treat the underlying dysfunction. I don't believe patients are drug deficient but are out of balance in their biochemical, nutritional, hormonal, emotional, and/or spiritual makeup. One must find where the individual is out of balance and correct it in order to sustain wellness.”

Cardiovascular health is important for heart function in the aging process, but it’s also vitally important in brain function. The best way to protect the aging brain is to identify and aggressively treat vascular problems as soon as possible. In this episode of ALIve, CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Dr. Jeffrey Boone, named one of the top cardiovascular doctors in America. Dr. Boone is the Founder and Director of the Boone Heart Institute in Denver and also is the Chief Medical Officer of the Asher Longevity Institute.

While the brain is only 2% of the average human body weight, it receives up to 20% of the body’s blood supply.

In this episode of ALIve from the Asher Longevity Institute, we continue with Dr. Jeffrey Boone of the Boone Heart Institute. This was taken from a presentation he made sharing case studies of the leaps in improved heart, circulatory, and brain health achieved through the use of PCSK9 and not accepting that some plaque is normal in your aorta. Although he refers to slides, the word pictures he gives us about the effect of cholesterol on our circulatory system and brains is invaluable in arming us to take control of our aging body, and especially brains. Listen through the case studies to determine what age you'd like your brain to achieve. Here is the PDF covering this episode. It's from a 2020 Symposium presentation given by Dr. Boone.
