Summary

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jen Scheinman, a registered dietitian and one of the lead educators at Timeline Nutrition. In our discussion, we dive into Urolithin A as a postbiotic nutrient and explain why we cannot get enough through nutrition alone. Jen shares common midlife symptoms she observes in her patients and clients, including changes in body composition, mood, skin health, and fatigue. We explore the impact of immunosenescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the connection between mitochondria and estrogen, and Jen discusses regional differences in diet and the microbiome, how birth delivery methods, infant feeding choices, and antibiotics shape gut health, and offers practical lifestyle strategies for improving skin health. We also touch on the latest research into the skin benefits of topical application of Urolithin A. I know you will find this conversation invaluable, and I look forward to having Jen back later this year to dive even deeper into the science behind Urolithin A. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why Urolithin A is such a powerful nutrient How Urolithin A, mitochondrial health, and longevity are all connected How Urolithin A gets produced by the gut microbiome Why do we need to supplement with Urolithin A? How mitochondrial dysfunction impacts aging The link between mitochondrial function and estrogen How declining estrogen affects skin health and hair growth The role of lifestyle factors like diet, hydration, exercise, and sleep in maintaining skin and hair health The benefits of using Urolithin A topically An overview of the clinical studies conducted on Urolithin A Bio: Jennifer Scheinman Jennifer Scheinman is a seasoned Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 25 years of experience in the field of nutrition and wellness.
