ALIve Longevity Podcast

In this episode of ALIve, CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Dr. Abid Husain, a Fellow of the American College of Cardiologists and Certified by the American Board of Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, it’s a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual’s illness. Dr. Husain explains how he has moved from conventional cardiology medicine treating current conditions to focusing on the future of his patients. He discusses the history of peptides, the role of hormones, and health at the cellular level. Dr. Husain advises three non-prescription actions we can take to slow down the body’s deterioration. Doctor Husain is a physician at the Boone Heart Institute in Greenwood Village, Colorado, working closely with Dr. Jeffrey Boone on state-of-the-art cardiovascular and stroke prevention programs, combined with a functional medicine outlook. 

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. John describes his own experience of increasing brain function under Dr. Boone’s care and Dr. Boone explains how scans can now measure brain function and how new therapies and drugs can help prevent strokes (the third leading cause of death) and early onset of dementia. While the brain is only 2% of the average human body weight, it receives up to 20% of the body’s blood supply. Protecting the aging brain by paying early attention to cardiovascular issues gives you a longer life span and also a longer healthspan.

 
We all want to lead a fulfilling future. That’s why planning is important. In this episode of ALIve, CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Dr. Jerry Cahn, CEO of Age Brilliantly, a community platform for people who want to live longer, healthier and happier lives to 100+. It brings together resources and people to discuss Purposeful Living, Financial Security, Healthy Aging, Travel, Lifelong Learning, and ways to Build and Maintain Relationships, all to help people make better decisions and plans for their next stages in life. In a simpler world, work-life balance was the goal. In the elongated life, you need to consider more life essentials, individually and collectively. Life fulfillment results from the tradeoffs you make between them and integrating those decisions into a lifelong, holistic balance. What does your future self look like?

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.
