Summary
so many different ways to biohack our genetics! This leads us to wonder if there’s a way we can biohack our bodies to the point of stopping the aging process, or at least, slow it down! Because of that, I’m here today with anti-aging expert, and recognized physician Dr. Sandra Kaufmann! In this podcast, we’ll discuss what longevity truly means and the growing research in biohacking surrounding this dreaded phenomenon. Afterall, it’s never too early and never too late to start taking care of our aging minds & bodies!

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K, Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon. |
| 0:20.0 | And today on the podcast, |
| 0:21.6 | we are going to learn some anti-aging solutions from none other than Dr. Sandra Kaufman, |
| 0:27.6 | who's a very intelligent physician. She's an anesthesiologist. She's been in the field of pediatric |
| 0:34.6 | anesthesia and has developed an avid interest in anti-aging |
| 0:38.5 | science as her hobby, which is now this amazing protocol. Welcome to the podcast, Sandra. |
| 0:44.3 | Dr. Kaplan. Thank you. No, please, Sandy. This is, this is so exciting. I'm thrilled to be here. |
| 0:50.3 | Well, we love to talk about anti-aging here. I'm a plastic surgeon in California, and everything we do is about anti-aging. |
| 0:56.9 | I'm getting more and more into bioregenerative therapies, learning about how we can trigger the body to turn on its own ability to behave more youthfully with stem cells and collagen biostimulators. |
| 1:08.3 | So tell us a little bit about what got you into anti-aging in your background. |
| 1:14.3 | Sure. So I started out life as a cell biologist a very long time ago. And my father pointed out that |
| 1:21.4 | cells don't have insurance policies so they don't pay bills. So I went to med school. I am, |
| 1:29.0 | as you said, I'm an anesthesiologist. So I'm sort of obsessed with what drugs do the body, how the body manipulates chemicals, |
| 1:33.7 | et cetera. I'm also a bit of a amateur athlete. I'm a rock climber. I'm a mountain climber. |
| 1:39.8 | And I decided when I was 45 that I was going to figure out why cells aged. And it seemed a little bit |
| 1:47.2 | silly, but I kind of, I think I've, you know, I've started to figure it out at least. And I decided |
| 1:52.6 | that your cells age, present seven very particular reasons, at least seven categories. Many people |
| 2:00.1 | talk about the hallmarks of aging, but I think |
| 2:01.8 | the categorization is a little bit peculiar. So I like the seven tenets of aging, and it's all based on |
| 2:06.0 | cell biology. And then I developed a rating system to be able to determine which molecular agents |
| 2:12.4 | did what in which categories and how efficacious they were. So I like to think that longevity choices are now, |
| 2:19.2 | it's a mathematical algorithm instead of a guessing game. |
