Alessandra, welcome. 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 quite a bit about getting old and pores and skin well being. However on that observe, and earlier than we bounce 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 getting old is an enormous subject for lots of people, and that may be a massive distinction together with your organic age, which may be very spectacular. So kudos to you, however what do you attribute that to?

Alessandra: Yeah, I imply, loads of associates are jealous once 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 loads of my way of life. So I take care loads of my sleep. I do meditations early morning. I train daily, and I’ve a balanced weight loss program, like largely plant based mostly weight loss program. And I made loads of these adjustments on my wholesome kinds in 2018. So I don’t understand how 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 like it. I feel you’re strolling proof, for one, however you hit the nail on the top with these elements of sleep being vastly necessary. All of us, I’d say of all of the over 600 folks on this podcast, no person disagrees that sleep is tremendous necessary and really useful. However I like that you simply additionally talked about meditation and motion. I feel these are enormous matters as nicely. And you’re undoubtedly, 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 loads of these adjustments 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 adjustments we make, particularly behavior adjustments, can actually, actually make an enormous distinction there, which I like.

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

Katie: Sure, completely. And doubtless such as you, I really feel extra energetic and youthful now than I truly felt once 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 like it. And if for anyone not watching the video, you additionally seem like you’re about 20, your pores and skin is glowing, which is among the issues I’m additionally going to be very excited to study from you at the moment about. However to begin off broad, possibly stroll us via folks possibly heard that the pores and skin is our physique’s largest organ, which I’d say possibly as a tie between muscle and pores and skin is the physique’s two largest organs, each crucial. However speak to us about how pores and skin well being is linked to general well being and the way with the pores and skin being such a big organ, it may well inform us quite a bit about what’s occurring.

Alessandra: Yeah, completely. We all the time like we take into consideration the important organs on our physique, we take into consideration coronary heart, we take into consideration kidney, lungs, and we don’t suppose that a lot in regards to 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 in opposition to the exterior setting. It controls our physique temperature, our hydration. So when you have like a wholesome pores and skin, a powerful pores and skin, you’re maintaining, you’re like securing the well being of your interior physique. And in the event you’re having disfunction on the pores and skin, due to the scale of the pores and skin, it is going to be speaking with our physique and may have an enormous affect. It may be contributing so as to add to your well being and ultimately 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 large 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 generally, for one, simply aren’t getting sufficient water to start with. But in addition it looks as if electrolytes and minerals come into play in an enormous method after we’re hydrating as nicely. Any suggestions personally or out of your analysis on hydration?

Alessandra: Yeah, on hydration, truly having consuming water is among the first issues like consuming greens which can be reaching water, like cucumber, for example, also can assistance on hydration, however particularly like defending, having your pores and skin barrier protected. So like utilizing merchandise that may improve 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 sensible. 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 loads of plant meals, however these meals have water in a special kind than we get from simply consuming water. So it’s exceptionally useful and in addition are such an excellent supply of micronutrients. So simply one other examine within the field for consuming all kinds of plant meals and fruit and veggies being so necessary.

And I additionally, you talked about the pores and skin barrier. Let’s speak a bit bit extra about that as a result of that could be a brand new time period for lots of people. And I do know that this goes far past simply placing lotion on while you get out of the bathe. From what I’ve learn, we have now an entire 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 via our pores and skin.

Alessandra: Sure. So the pores and skin barrier is like many of the outmost layer of your pores and skin is what is de facto like, creating the barrier that protects our physique from the surface. So the pores and skin barrier is shaped by caroteno websites which can be 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 may be, like, an getting old course of occurring inside your pores and skin, if there may be irritation occurring in your pores and skin, it’s going to have an effect on on how your pores and skin barrier is being shaped. So we’re all the time 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 just isn’t functioning accurately, in all probability additionally, you will have a dysfunction in your pores and skin barrier. Utilizing lotions might 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 occurring 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 prone 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 just isn’t 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 similar to with the pores and skin, I really feel like relating to oral well being, folks consider like, oh, it’s nearly what you place in your tooth. It’s in the event you put sugar in your mouth, in the event you put toothpaste in your tooth. However similar to you’re saying with the pores and skin, there’s an entire different layer, which is, are you getting sufficient of the appropriate fats soluble nutritional vitamins and vitamins via your weight loss program to truly assist wholesome saliva and wholesome manufacturing of enamel in your mouth? And that half doesn’t get talked about sufficient. Similar to with the pores and skin facet, folks usually 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 surface. 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 said with the pores and skin. So sugar, after we eat loads 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 operate completely and begin to degrading. So what you’re consuming is definitely very linked to your pores and skin well being as nicely. So it’s not solely what you placed on high of your pores and skin, however what you’re consuming also can have an effect on your pores and skin well being.

Katie: That’s such an necessary factor to comprehend as nicely. Let’s additionally speak about how pores and skin getting old occurs and possibly additionally usher in senescent cells as a result of I really feel like getting old is such an enormous business and such an enormous subject, nevertheless it looks as if there’s a lot misinformation floating round.

Alessandra: There’s a lot. So getting old is a course of that’s occurring constantly all through all our physique and it’s like primarily a lack of the integrity of the operate of the cells of our physique. So this begins occurring and the factor is, when you could have dysfunction in your tissue and also you begin accumulating this, your physique just isn’t functioning correctly and will get extra prone to have like persistent associated illnesses. That’s why after we get to 65 years previous, the possibilities that we are going to develop Alzheimer, that we are going to develop a most cancers, diabetes, they begin rising exponentially. It’s because we bought to a degree that there’s dysfunction on the mobile degree on our tissues that’s like producing this setting that’s extra prone to illnesses.

So this occurs in all our physique and this occurs after all on our pores and skin as nicely. And we all know now within the science neighborhood that they’re like earlier than was 9. This 12 months was up to date twelve hallmarks of getting old, like twelve dysfunctions on the mobile degree that results in getting old. Certainly one 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 getting old, 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 completely different gentle and these are inflicting harm on our cells. And if the cell just isn’t capable of 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 this can be a regular course of that to start with tells your physique okay, right here’s a broken cell, let’s take away it. And our immune system cleared the cells out. With getting old, 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 unhealthy like signaling that’s irritation. So when 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. If 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 robust much less robust 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 when 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 persistent illnesses inside your physique.

That’s why we imagine it’s crucial 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 provide defending our physique and never like creating this extreme of irritation that’s even now, like after we are getting old there’s a time period referred to as inflammaging, the irritation that accumulates with getting old.

Katie: That is sensible. So mainly irritation kind of hurries up the method of pores and skin getting old.

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, remodeling the cell to additionally develop into senescent, to additionally begin secreting irritation. After which when you could have loads of irritation in your pores and skin, you don’t produce, like, a correct pores and skin barrier. And it’s very fascinating as a result of we’re capable of 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 predominant pores and skin cells fibroblast and keratinocytes. The fibroblast, they go on a layer of collagen that varieties 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 when 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 exhibits 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 getting old additionally in your lab and we talked about your organic age at first. You additionally do organic age of pores and skin, proper? So are you able to stroll us via the way you measure pores and skin getting old and possibly simply a number of the info you gathered from that analysis?

Alessandra: Sure, after all. So everyone knows and it’s simple to grasp the idea of chronological age as of late that like, we’re born the Earth go across the solar, one 12 months, two years, we’re all like, getting old on the identical pace. Everybody that was born April 3, 1987, will flip 36 years previous this 12 months.

However the best way our physique is getting old, the best way our cells are responding, this relies quite a bit on every particular person’s way of life and the way they’re treating their physique. So our organs, our cells, they are often getting old in numerous pace even when we have now the identical chronological age. So we’re ready 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 might be very near the chronological age, might 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 particular algorithm to measure the pores and skin organic age as a result of, just like the completely different tissues of our physique, they age in another way. And since we have been very particular, studying just like the getting old means of the pores and skin for us was necessary to grasp this extra nuances that may occur on the pores and skin that in the event you measure via a saliva pattern or via a blood, possibly you’ll not get precisely what’s occurring 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 at the moment are capable of 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 concentrating on, getting old 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, loads of corporations declare to battle getting old, however you’re truly measuring tangibly if it’s truly working or not. And I’d guess there are in all probability similar 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 nicely. And I do know we’ll speak in regards to the topical ones that you simply guys have actually performed the analysis on as nicely.

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 way of life elements which can be going to extend pores and skin getting old 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 speak in regards to the exterior 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 de facto like, extra of sugar is de facto unhealthy to your pores and skin as a result of it may well actually bind to collagen. Water, like hydration. Greens which can be wealthy in water are additionally excellent to your pores and skin getting old. 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 quite a bit with the aesthetics. We wish to look good. I’m speaking in regards to the pores and skin well being, I’m speaking in regards to the pores and skin functioning as a younger tissue.

So loads of occasions to make your pores and skin look youthful, there are a number of very aggressive, intense procedures that you are able to do which will hurt your pores and skin. So loads of like deep peeling if you consider you’re exposing your pores and skin to extra just like the setting so that you might be rising the irritation of the pores and skin. So there is sort of a mixture that we want to consider. When 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 operate youthful. So you’re like serving to your physique and never solely like simply masking some signs of the getting old course of.

Katie: That is sensible. One other examine for hydration and avoiding extra sugar, that are different particular themes amongst podcast visitors for normal well being as nicely. These are issues that, such as you mentioned, they’re going to profit many elements of bodily well being. And I do know that you simply guys have performed 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 nicely and kind of assist reverse that course of. Are you able to stroll us via what these are and the way you discovered them?

Alessandra: Yeah. So what we’re capable of do is we created a platform the place we replicate the getting old course of in vitro. After which with this platform, we’re capable of measure the biomarkers, markers which can be related to getting old 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 robust or if it’s being disrupted. So these two permit us to check completely different topical merchandise and in addition like to search out and establish new actives.

So after we began our analysis, what we observed was that the merchandise that we have been testing, they don’t goal the markers of getting old. To allow them to generally make your pores and skin produce extra collagen, which can plump your pores and skin, which can 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 trying pores and skin that has steering the within accrued harm.

So what we did in our analysis after we realized that and noticed this chance was to construct a screening platform that might goal the buildup of broken cells on the pores and skin. So we have been on the lookout for new peptides that might scale back the buildup of those broken cells. And with that, you have been capable of permit the younger cells of your tissue to operate correctly and to provide like a wholesome pores and skin. So utilizing this platform that we establish 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 individuals 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 simply guys are actually pioneering that. I feel folks could have heard of individuals utilizing injectable peptides, for example, for every kind of various issues throughout the physique, however this one may 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 might probably truly be used topically, proper, to get the identical profit.

Alessandra: Sure, and it’s crucial as a result of we have now this platform, we’re additionally capable of measure and to make sure that the peptide can penetrate the layers of the pores and skin. So there may be loads of product generally that has like elements 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 capable of penetrate. So we’re ready 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 may 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 images 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 in all probability 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 have the ability to see enchancment on our pores and skin? After which we formulated and we bought to formulation that we’re capable of actually see.

We ran medical research, so on our medical 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 medical examine, that was what we have been seeing very extensively within the lab. We have been capable of see the advance on the pores and skin barrier operate 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 getting old 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 getting old 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 nicely. 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 nicely. It appears to me that absolutely the baseline needs to be we keep away from something actually dangerous in our merchandise, although there are various merchandise that do include dangerous components. To me, that needs to be the naked minimal. But in addition 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, for 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 corporations we have now like this, it’s going to assist shift the market, which desperately, I feel must be shifted.
