🧬 Anti-Aging Habits and the Science of Telomeres

Dr. Rajani introduces the video by highlighting her most important daily, weekly, and monthly habits for maintaining a youthful appearance and feeling better. She emphasizes the importance of telomeres, the protective caps at the ends of chromosomes, which play a key role in the aging process. As cells divide, telomeres shorten, leading to cellular senescence and aging. Chronic stress is identified as a factor that can accelerate telomere shortening. However, practices like meditation have been shown to mitigate stress and help maintain telomere length, thus supporting cellular health and slowing down the aging process. The video also mentions the Nobel Prize awarded to Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Greider, and Jack Szostak for their discovery related to telomeres and telomerase.

🌟 Weekly and Monthly Skincare Routines for Youthful Glow

The second paragraph discusses the importance of a weekly skincare routine involving the use of retinol and glycolic acid. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, accelerates cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, revealing a fresher and smoother layer. The synergy between these two ingredients is highlighted, where glycolic acid prepares the skin by removing the outer layer of dead cells, allowing retinol to penetrate more effectively. This combination boosts collagen and elastin production and improves skin texture, tone, and clarity, reducing acne and acne scarring for a more youthful complexion. Dr. Rajani also suggests incorporating professional skin treatments into a monthly routine, such as facials, chemical peels, micro-needling, and non-ablative lasers, which can provide deeper cleansing, exfoliation, and rejuvenation for a youthful appearance. She encourages viewers to explore these treatments, either at home or professionally, to maintain healthy and vibrant skin.

Transcripts

Hi, I'm Dr.

Rajani and I'm making this video about my single most important daily, weekly, and

monthly habits to look and feel younger.

And I have some great news today because there's something very simple you can

do to look younger and feel better.

And yes, these are proven by science.

One of them you'll do every day.

One of them you'll do every day.

Every month, and when you'll do weekly, this one, you'll want

to do daily in 2009, Elizabeth Blackburn, Carol Grider, and Jack.

So stack, they were awarded the Nobel prize in physiology and medicine for their

discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.

Now telomeres, they're the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes.

You can see them right there.

Here, they play a crucial role in the aging process.

As it turns out here, you can see them in this diagram where they're

at the end of the chromosome.

And here is the huge issue.

You see them here where you get shortening.

You see each time a cell divides, it's telomeres become shorter.

When they become too short, the cell can no longer divide and it

becomes what we call senescent.

Or dies this senescence in turn contributes to your aging.

One of the factors that can accelerate the shortening of

these telomeres is chronic stress.

And I know so many of you have this comment below, but

studies have shown that stress.

Can negatively affect the telomere length, thereby accelerating your aging process.

Fortunately, here is some amazing news.

Practices such as meditation have been shown to help mitigate stress.

You see, multiple studies have confirmed that meditation and other stress

reduction techniques will help maintain.

Telomere length support, cellular health, and slow the aging process.

Great news, right?

And we like free.

And this is free and it's natural.

Thus, incorporating regular meditation into your routine is a beneficial

strategy for reducing stress and supporting your overall cellular health.

This contributes to a slower aging process, younger looking

skin, more glow and a better life.

There's more though.

Zen meditation scientists from the University of Zaragoza in Spain,

they discovered that on average, Zen meditators have longer telomeres

than any other people of their age.

So pick the meditation technique you like and go for it.

The key here is stress reduction.

Now, what do you want to do weekly?

Again, proven by science.

Combination of retinol and glycolic creams or peel pads you see using

retinol and glycolic acid together on a weekly basis will provide synergistic

benefits for your skin, enhancing your overall appearance, tightness, glow,

and evenness retinol is a derivative of vitamin a, and it accelerates aging.

Cell turnover.

It stimulates collagen production and it reduces lines, fine

lines, deep lines, and wrinkles.

Now, glycolic acid on the other hand, that's an alpha hydroxy acid,

you'll often see it called AHA.

It exfoliates the skin by breaking down the bonds between the dead skin

cells, revealing fresher, Smoother and a layer of skin beneath it that you

don't get to see unless you remove it.

Of course, we want fresh, smooth skin.

That's how you get it.

Now, here is the key part, the synergy.

When used in tandem, glycolic acid preps the skin by removing the outer layer

of dead cells, allowing the retinol to penetrate more effectively, increase cell

turnover and help with those fine lines.

This combination not only boosts collagen and elastin production,

but it also improves skin.

Texture, tone, clarity, and reduces acne and acne scarring resulting in

a brighter, more youthful complexion.

I tell you to use them on different nights.

I know some of you will use them together on the same night.

Um, but I'll link a video at the end that talks about exactly how to incorporate

them into your skincare routine.

You can always pop over to quiz md.

com.

You type in a few bits of information specific to yourself and your skin,

and it will give you for free.

An exact skin routine that I would recommend in my clinic to my patients.

Now, what do you do monthly?

Think professional skin treatments.

And many of you are doing this now.

It's a huge trend in Asia, countries like Korea and Japan.

But it's now come here.

Some of you will do these at home.

I know, that's okay.

And I have videos, by the way, on each one of these that I'm going to tell you about.

But think of your choice of number one, a professional facial, getting

a professional facial can deeply cleanse, exfoliate, rejuvenate, and

promote a youthful appearance, even get some facial massage at the same time.

This stuff works.

Gua Sha people use hydro facials.

That's a common household name.

The hydro facial.

Uh, I use a Viora Preem and there's many different ones, um, that

are similar to a hydro facial.

You could do these at home.

The devices cost about 50 to 80 grand, but there are less expensive

ones for home use you can get.

Next thing chemical peel, I'll put a video up here.

I did a recent video on my favorite chemical peels with the exact

ingredients, but monthly chemical peels help reduce fine lines, age

spots, and improve your skin texture by removing that outer layer of dead skin.

And it's not just that it targets specific things.

So we can, uh, get it to target Brown spots.

We can get one that's.

More for wrinkles.

And no, I'm not talking about that crazy deep, more than 40 percent phenol

peel that we see all over Tik TOK here.

It doesn't have to be that extreme.

In fact, I don't want it that extreme.

I want a combination peel that you heal in about four to seven days that you can

do on a regular basis, a few times a year.

Number three, think micro needling.

I'm talking no energy here.

Not RF micro needling, like Morpheus, like infini, like genius, like sil firm.

I'm talking about full on derma rolling or micro needling with a pen.

It stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity by

reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

And you can watch this video I'll put up here all about dry derma

rolling under 10 inexpensive.

You can do this monthly and it works well.

Number four, many of you love lasers.

I'm talking about non ablative lasers here.

You could do minimally ablative lasers.

They can be tuned up or down now, which is great.

The deeper you go.

To an extent, you don't have to go crazy, but you'll get a little more effect and

you'll want to do those less frequently.

If you do more superficial like IPL, you could do those

every month a few times a year.

Um, I'm not talking a deep CO2, but remember the CO2's Can be turned down

now with all the software in them.

So they scatter and they're more superficial.

I think of things like the cool peel, the CO2 device used for that is typically

the DECA, but most CO2 devices have software that can do similar things.

You can click up here.

You can watch me get my cool peel a few years ago.

I did it just before I went to a conference.

I did it in South Carolina.

I went to a conference in Medellin, Colombia.

I thought I would heal in like three or four days, but actually I was still.

Uh, it was deep enough where I was still healing at about six to seven days.

Just be sure to tell your provider.

They see me come and they're like, Oh, turn this thing up for this guy.

But you can easily turn it down so that you recover from these in

three to four days or way up to, it can take two to three weeks.

Now, some of you will have fun with this.

You can build out a little home day spa for yourself.

If you do, you want to do it over time.

You want to buy quality devices.

And so you get good procedures done and you'll see what works for your skin.

Over time, people who build these out into their home, they'll invest in

something, make sure it works, and then move on to the other ones that they use.

For their home spa.

Many of you are DIY and the movement towards doing more and more at home

safely and effectively is huge.

Once you build it out, just dedicate one day a month to using your home

spa, your face mask, body scrub, relaxing bath, whatever it is,

but now you have your little zone.

I know many people who do this for themselves.

Because people know that this pays off when you have great skin.

When you have great glow, you have more confidence.

You're now going to want to watch this video all about red light.

Cause many people put red light panels, led masks and beds in their home.

And one down here all about derma rolling, because that's a common one as well.

I tell you exactly how and what to do.

Keep your skin and body beautiful, healthy, and vibrant.
