Episode #289: Dr Dayan Goodenowe: Plasmalogen Power: Innovative Health Solutions to stay Ahead of Aging

Could Plasmalogens Be the Key to Anti-Aging Science? In this episode of the Longevity podcast, I am welcoming  back Dr. Goodenow to discuss the incredible progress and updates in his pioneering work on plasmalogens. We explore the importance of plasmalogens in neurological development and their role in treating conditions like ALS, autism, and MS.  Plasmalogens are essential lipids found in the brain, heart, lungs, and human breast milk, crucial for early brain development and preventing neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, MS, and autism and we discuss the mechanics behind aging and diseases, stressing the importance of mitochondrial function, membrane structure, and the body's ability to repair itself.    BIO: Dr. Dayan Goodenowe is a pioneering researcher and biochemist with a profound impact on neurological and age-related diseases.  Known for his work with plasmalogens, Dr. Goodenowe has devoted over three decades to studying these critical molecules and their role in human health. His research has significantly advanced the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and autism, as well as conditions like COVID-19 and inflammatory disorders.   To Purchase Plasmologens use this link https://prodrome.com/?ref=NAT25 or head over to Prodrome.com and use code NAT25 to save 25% off your purchase!   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: NEUROHACKER:  Visit qualialife.com/nathalie and use code NATHALIE VITALI SKIN CARE/RESTORACELL: Visit vitaliskincare.com/discount/Nathalie20 and use code Nathalie20 to save on your order.   LVLVUP: Use code NAT15 to save 10% off at lvluphealth.com/                            Find more from DR DAYAN GOODENOWE: Website: drgoodenowe.com Instagram: @drdayangoodenowe and @prodromesciences   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ  Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community  Sign up for Nats Newsletter: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i7d5m0  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/  Website: www.NatNiddam.com    Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance    What We Discuss: 01:22 The Importance of Plasmalogens 01:39 Our Advanced Infrastructure and Research 04:46 The Role of Plasmalogens in Early Development 06:28 Understanding Brain Development and Longevity 09:05 Restoring Health and Functionality 15:52 Parkinson's and Neurological Health 33:51 The Power of Plasmalogens in Neurogenesis 36:54 Understanding Plasmalogen Precursors 37:49 Historical Context and Importance of Plasmalogens 38:52 Challenges and Innovations in Plasmalogen Delivery 40:26 Impact of Plasmalogens on Inflammatory Diseases 41:53 Plasmalogens and Major Organ Functions 42:26 Plasmalogens in Cardiac Health and ALS 44:35 Mechanisms of ALS and Plasmalogen Therapy 50:37 Restoring Neuromuscular Function 58:02 Community Health Initiatives and Research   Key Takeaways: Plasmalogens are integral in early childhood brain development and maintaining the functionality of crucial organs like the heart and lungs. Plasmalogen deficiencies are linked to various severe health conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases. Adequate mitochondrial function is critical for mitigating the effects of chronic diseases, including autism and multiple sclerosis. Key nutrients include B vitamins, CoQ10, and carnitine.
