Modern Aging Risa Morimoto

Are you suffering from chronic pain or anxiety? Living with chronic pain or anxiety can be debilitating. It can make even the simplest tasks seem overwhelming and exhausting. The constant pain that doesn't go away can prevent you from living your best life, rob you of joy and take away precious moments.
If you're among the many who suffer from chronic pain, fortunately there is hope. CBD has been proven to effectively relieve pelvic pain, menstrual cramps, and lower back pain by targeting your endocannabinoid system as an anti-inflammatory. This means it can provide relief from wherever in the body you may be suffering. Plus, unlike other pain-relieving solutions, CBD comes with no harmful side effects.
In this episode, Meredith Bieri shares her journey of finding relief from chronic pain. For seven years, she suffered without a proper diagnosis and relied on a cocktail of pharmaceutical medications and painkillers. However, after discovering CBD tinctures, pain patches, oils, and topicals - she finally found relief with no side effects. Meredith's story is one of hope for those who suffer from chronic pain conditions like pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS), proving that CBD can save lives without harmful side effects.

About Risa Morimot

Nothing beats the complex protective phytochemistry of herbs when it comes to reducing chronic illnesses and slowing down the aging process. All plants have a defense system that consists of chemicals called phytochemicals, which help protect them from invaders and stressors. These same phytochemicals can neutralize free radicals, toxic substances, and even radiation for our bodies. With their anti-microbial properties, herbs are an excellent addition to any health-conscious individual's daily diet.
Phytochemicals are more than just protective agents for plants. They also possess remarkable antibacterial properties that can fend off viruses, fungi, protozoa, and other harmful microorganisms. Interestingly, the antibacterial properties of herbs vary depending on their natural environment and the type of stress factors they encounter. What's even more fascinating is that these herbs' anti-microbial activity is selective to specific pathogens without disrupting the gut flora or causing any side effects. 
In this episode, Dr. Bill Rawls, a renowned expert in integrative health and medical director of Vital Plan, shares valuable insight on the essential herbs to take as we age. He breaks down how much of these herbs we should be taking and the format to follow so that you can discover which herbs are perfect for your individual health needs.

Mushrooms are a great superfood that we’re not talking about enough, especially when it comes to healthy aging. Aging doesn’t happen when you’re 65 and all of a sudden you’re old. It occurs gradually, and you have to start taking care of yourself now, and mushrooms will help you ease the process. All mushrooms have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties, but each has a unique benefit to your health. 
Incorporating medicinal mushrooms like Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane into your daily health routine can support healthy aging. The combination of these two powerful mushrooms can help clear brain fog, provide relief from hot flashes, boost low sexual drive, and increase energy and vitality that often decline with age. Cordyceps, known as the Himalayan Viagra in traditional Tibetan medicine, is a stamina builder while Lion’s Mane is traditionally used for cognitive memory and concentration functions. Don't let age slow you down - add these powerful mushrooms to healthy aging.
In this episode, Founder of West Wolf Medicinals Nicole Pressly Wolf reveals the amazing benefits of medicinal mushrooms in enhancing your overall health and promoting healthy aging. She emphasizes the exceptional properties of Cordyceps and Lion's Mane in particular, making them great for supporting healthy aging. For those interested in watching the video version of this interview, head over to the Modern Aging YouTube channel, type in "mushroom," and it will appear.

About Nicole Pressly Wolf -   
Raised as a city girl and a lifelong environmental activist, journalist, and secret science nerd, Nicole never imagined she could farm or care directly for the earth beyond her written activism. Moving West, she wanted her next “career” to be intentional work in a practical and tactile environment, not in front of a computer. Oh, and yeah — for the benefit of all. 
Now, with America's fungi awakening, Nicole has found her true way forward. Since the move, she has become fascinated with mushrooms and devoured books, films, and teachings. She attended numerous mushroom-growing workshops. Nicole started a daily supplement of powdered mushrooms looking for support with all that comes with aging, from brain power to general energy. Within weeks she noticed her memory had improved, and her energy was up. She was hooked! All that she has learned about the fungi kingdom inspires awe and wonder. Farming mushrooms and creating a permaculture farm has allowed her to offer health to her family, community, and the planet.

Have you heard of the incredible health benefits of a cold shower or ice bath? Cold showers and ice baths are becoming increasingly popular as people look to improve their overall health and well-being. They offer a range of benefits, including boosting the immune system, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, relieving localized pain, and combatting depression. They can even increase your metabolism. And don't worry - you don't have to endure it for that long.
By combining cold baths, breathwork, and spirituality into a regular routine, you can optimize your physical and mental health.

Practicing these three disciplines together can unleash extraordinary potential for your health.
