Katie: I’m additionally very excited for our dialog, and we’re going to speak so much about growing older and pores and skin well being. However on that observe, and earlier than we leap 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 similar age as me, 35. So I might love to listen to extra about what you attribute that to, as a result of I really feel like longevity and growing older is a giant matter for lots of people, and that could be a large distinction along with your organic age, which could be very spectacular. So kudos to you, however what do you attribute that to?

Alessandra: Yeah, I imply, a whole lot 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 lively particular person. So I used to be anticipating that I might have like, a youthful organic age, however not that younger, really how I really feel 20 years previous, to be trustworthy. However I feel what I attribute that’s a whole lot of my life-style. So I take care a whole lot of my sleep. I do meditations early morning. I train daily, and I’ve a balanced weight-reduction plan, like principally plant based mostly weight-reduction plan. And I made a whole lot 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, every day routine, I feel they’re contributing to have a decrease organic age.

Katie: I adore it. I feel you might be strolling proof, for one, however you hit the nail on the top with these elements of sleep being vastly necessary. All of us, I might say of all of the over 600 individuals on this podcast, no person disagrees that sleep is tremendous necessary and really helpful. However I like that you simply additionally talked about meditation and motion. I feel these are large subjects as properly. And you might be positively, like I stated, 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 a whole lot of these adjustments as an grownup. And so it’s very encouraging to know that we do have a lot lively management over that course of and that adjustments we make, particularly behavior adjustments, can actually, actually make a giant distinction there, which I like.

Alessandra: Sure, I completely agree. And a very powerful and sweetness a part of that is that you would be able to begin the adjustments any time in your life and you may see the advantages and begin, like, slowing down this means of growing older.

Katie: Sure, completely. And possibly such as you, I really feel extra energetic and youthful now than I really felt once I was in my 20s.

Alessandra: Precisely the identical. I really feel like, oh my God, residing the very best of my life.

Katie: I adore it. And if for anyone not watching the video, you additionally appear to be you’re about 20, your pores and skin is glowing, which is without doubt one of the issues I’m additionally going to be very excited to be taught from you at the moment about. However to start out off broad, possibly stroll us by way of individuals possibly heard that the pores and skin is our physique’s largest organ, which I might 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 related to general well being and the way with the pores and skin being such a big organ, it may possibly inform us so much about what’s happening.

Alessandra: Yeah, completely. We at all times like we take into consideration the very important organs on our physique, we take into consideration coronary heart, we take into consideration kidney, lungs, and we don’t assume that a lot concerning 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 now have towards the exterior atmosphere. It controls our physique temperature, our hydration. So when you have like a wholesome pores and skin, a robust pores and skin, you’re retaining, you might be 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 dimensions of the pores and skin, it is going to be speaking with our physique and might have an enormous affect. It may be contributing so as to add to your well being and ultimately like the looks of different ailments and dysfunction in different organs of our physique.

Katie: Yeah, completely. And it looks as if hydration is a big key for pores and skin well being and clearly additionally for the well being of our total physique. Is any tip on that? As a result of I really feel like individuals typically, 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 a giant manner once we’re hydrating as properly. Any suggestions personally or out of your analysis on hydration?

Alessandra: Yeah, on hydration, really having ingesting water is without doubt one of the first issues like consuming greens which can be reaching water, like cucumber, as an illustration, may assistance on hydration, however particularly like defending, having your pores and skin barrier protected. So like utilizing merchandise that can enhance the resilience of your pores and skin barrier, it will enable you to not lose the water that you’re intaking and hold the hydration of your physique.

Katie: That is smart. And I really feel such as you touched on a key level with the water containing meals. And never solely, in fact, you talked about you eat a whole lot of plant meals, however these meals have water in a special kind than we get from simply ingesting water. So it’s exceptionally helpful and likewise are such a great 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 little bit bit extra about that as a result of that is likely to be a brand new time period for lots of people. And I do know that this goes far past simply placing lotion on if you get out of the bathe. From what I’ve learn, we now have a complete 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 by way of 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 basically 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 growing older course of occurring inside your pores and skin, if there may be irritation occurring in your pores and skin, it can have an effect on on how your pores and skin barrier is being shaped. So we’re at all times renewing our pores and skin barrier. So each like 28 days, we now have a brand new pores and skin barrier.

After which in case your pores and skin from the within is just not functioning accurately, in all probability additionally, you will have a dysfunction in your pores and skin barrier. Utilizing lotions may also 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 can 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 received to get into that as a result of I really feel like that half is just not 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 identical to with the pores and skin, I really feel like on the subject of oral well being, individuals consider like, oh, it’s nearly what you place in your enamel. It’s in the event you put sugar in your mouth, in the event you put toothpaste in your enamel. However identical to you’re saying with the pores and skin, there’s a complete different layer, which is, are you getting sufficient of the correct fats soluble nutritional vitamins and vitamins by way of your weight-reduction plan to truly help 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, individuals usually consider like, oh, I’ve a pores and skin drawback, 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 stated one thing like about consuming sugar within the oral well being, this additionally is said with the pores and skin. So sugar, once we eat a whole lot of sugar, it’s really 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 perform completely and begin to degrading. So what you might be consuming is definitely very related to your pores and skin well being as properly. So it’s not solely what you placed on high of your pores and skin, however what you might be consuming may have an effect on your pores and skin well being.

Katie: That’s such an necessary factor to appreciate as properly. Let’s additionally discuss how pores and skin growing older occurs and possibly additionally herald senescent cells as a result of I really feel like growing older is such an enormous business and such an enormous matter, however it looks as if there’s a lot misinformation floating round.

Alessandra: There’s a lot. So growing older is a course of that’s occurring repeatedly all through all our physique and it’s like primarily a lack of the integrity of the perform of the cells of our physique. So this begins occurring and the factor is, when you may have dysfunction in your tissue and also you begin accumulating this, your physique is just not functioning correctly and will get extra prone to have like persistent associated ailments. That’s why once we get to 65 years previous, the possibilities that we’ll develop Alzheimer, that we’ll develop a most cancers, diabetes, they begin rising exponentially. It is because we received to some extent that there’s dysfunction on the mobile stage on our tissues that’s like producing this atmosphere that’s extra prone to ailments.

So this occurs in all our physique and this occurs in fact on our pores and skin as properly. And we all know now within the science neighborhood that they’re like earlier than was 9. This yr was up to date twelve hallmarks of growing older, like twelve dysfunctions on the mobile stage that results in growing older. One in every of them is the buildup of what you stated, senescent cells that we will name to be simpler to know as broken cells. So once we are growing older, 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 is just not capable of restore this harm, it will get to some extent that the cell begins not functioning as a younger cell anymore, begin having like a dysfunction. And normally 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 growing older, like what occurred is that our immune system additionally don’t reply anymore in addition to once 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 appearing like a foul 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. Once 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 ailments inside your physique.

That’s why we imagine it’s crucial to take care of 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 supply defending our physique and never like creating this extreme of irritation that’s even now, like once we are growing older there’s a time period referred to as inflammaging, the irritation that accumulates with growing older.

Katie: That is smart. So principally irritation form of accelerates the method of pores and skin growing older.

Alessandra: Sure, precisely. So what we need 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 change into senescent, to additionally begin secreting irritation. After which when you may have a whole lot of irritation in your pores and skin, you don’t produce, like, a correct pores and skin barrier. And it’s very attention-grabbing 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 way in which we do that is like having the 2 important pores and skin cells fibroblast and keratinocytes. The fibroblast, they go on a layer of collagen that types 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 normally 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 form of like unbalancing the wholesome state of the pores and skin.

Katie: And in a minute I need to go deep on methods we will undo that irritation. However I need to be taught a little bit bit extra about this as a result of I do know you guys measure pores and skin growing older additionally in your lab and we talked about your organic age in the beginning. You additionally do organic age of pores and skin, proper? So are you able to stroll us by way of the way you measure pores and skin growing older and possibly simply a number of the data you gathered from that analysis?

Alessandra: Sure, in fact. So everyone knows and it’s simple to know the idea of chronological age lately that like, we’re born the Earth go across the solar, one yr, two years, we’re all like, growing older on the identical pace. Everybody that was born April 3, 1987, will flip 36 years previous this yr.

However the way in which our physique is growing older, the way in which our cells are responding, this relies so much on every particular person’s life-style and the way they’re treating their physique. So our organs, our cells, they are often growing older in several pace even when we now have the identical chronological age. So we’re ready now to measure this organic age. This implies we glance to the DNA and we will decide the age of that pores and skin. And that age may be very near the chronological age, may be like superior, that means that the pores and skin is behaving as an older pores and skin or it may be like youthful, that means that pores and skin is behaving as a youthful pores and skin.

So we now have developed a selected 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 growing older means of the pores and skin for us was necessary to know this extra nuances that may occur on the pores and skin that in the event you measure by way of a saliva pattern or by way of a blood, possibly you’ll not get precisely what’s happening on the pores and skin.

So we constructed an algorithm that reads the DNA of the pores and skin and is in a position 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 are actually capable of see if any interference made on that pores and skin utilizing a high product or like once we are trying to find a brand new lively, if they’re actually, like focusing on, growing older 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, a whole lot of corporations declare to combat growing older, however you’re really measuring tangibly if it’s really working or not. And I might guess there are in all probability identical to we talked about with dental well being and pores and skin well being. There are some inner elements that come into play right here as properly. And I do know we’ll speak concerning the topical ones that you simply guys have actually accomplished the analysis on as properly.

However I might love to listen to what are a number of the form of worst offenders that we will do internally or life-style elements which can be going to extend pores and skin growing older and irritation and or what are a number of the finest methods we will enhance that from the within out. After which we’ll speak concerning the exterior merchandise we will 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 basically like, extra of sugar is basically unhealthy to your pores and skin as a result of it may possibly actually bind to collagen. Water, like hydration. Greens which can be wealthy in water are additionally excellent to your pores and skin growing older. And the opposite factor once 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 so much with the aesthetics. We need to look good. I’m speaking concerning the pores and skin well being, I’m speaking concerning the pores and skin functioning as a younger tissue.

So a whole lot of instances 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 a whole lot of like deep peeling if you consider you’re exposing your pores and skin to extra just like the atmosphere so that you may be growing the irritation of the pores and skin. So there is sort of a mixture that we want to consider. If you happen to’re attempting 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 really perform youthful. So you might be like serving to your physique and never solely like simply masking some signs of the growing older course of.

Katie: That is smart. One other examine for hydration and avoiding extra sugar, that are different particular themes amongst podcast company for common well being as properly. These are issues that, such as you stated, they’re going to profit many features of bodily well being. And I do know that you simply guys have accomplished 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 properly and form of assist reverse that course of. Are you able to stroll us by way of 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 growing older course of in vitro. After which with this platform, we’re capable of measure the biomarkers, markers which can be related to growing older on the pores and skin. So markers that can 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 enable us to check completely different topical merchandise and likewise like to seek out and establish new actives.

So once we began our analysis, what we observed was that the merchandise that we have been testing, they don’t goal the markers of growing older. To allow them to typically make your pores and skin produce extra collagen, which is able to plump your pores and skin, which is able to 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 wanting pores and skin that has steering the within accrued harm.

So what we did in our analysis once we realized that and noticed this chance was to construct a screening platform that will goal the buildup of broken cells on the pores and skin. So we have been on the lookout for new peptides that would scale back the buildup of those broken cells. And with that, you have been capable of enable the younger cells of your tissue to perform correctly and to supply 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 stated. 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 individuals might have heard of individuals utilizing injectable peptides, as an illustration, for every kind of various issues throughout the physique, however this one could 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 really be used topically, proper, to get the identical profit.

Alessandra: Sure, and it’s crucial as a result of we now have 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 a whole lot of product typically that has like parts 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’ll be able to 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 pictures from individuals with you guys. I do know you’re measuring this within the lab. Are individuals seeing basically a discount of their pores and skin age from this and the way lengthy does that course of take? Individuals are in all probability listening, how do I try 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 once we deal with the skins with the peptide. After which got here the query like once we apply we will see as a result of I can’t be measuring the mobile stage on a regular basis, so will I be capable to see enchancment on our pores and skin? After which we formulated and we received to formulation that we’re capable of really see.

We ran scientific research, so on our scientific 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 scientific examine, that was what we have been seeing very extensively within the lab. We have been capable of see the development on the pores and skin barrier perform after six weeks of use. So we’re proper available in the market for 2 years. There’s lots of people utilizing some individuals 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 consequence comes with time. And since we’re growing older on a regular basis and we’re being uncovered to wreck on a regular basis, we deal with our product as a topical complement. It’s one thing that you’ll repeatedly use that will help you decelerate the growing older course of and that will help you hold your pores and skin on the wholesome state.

Katie: Yeah, I feel it’s very synergistic to how I feel as properly. 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 properly. It appears to me that absolutely the baseline needs to be we keep away from something actually dangerous in our merchandise, regardless that there are lots of merchandise that do comprise dangerous substances. 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, as an illustration, my thought was, how will we then put helpful issues? How will we make use of that in a great way? And also you guys are doing this with skincare in the way in which that I’m attempting to do it with oral care and hair care. And I like I really feel just like the extra corporations we now have like this, it’s going to assist shift the market, which desperately, I feel must be shifted.
