And thanks for being right here.
Alessandra: Thanks, Katie. I’m very excited for our dialog. Thanks for the invite.
Katie: I’m additionally very excited for our dialog, and we’re going to speak loads about ageing and pores and skin well being. However on that word, and earlier than we leap into simply the pores and skin aspect, I’ve out of your bio that your organic age is 20 years outdated, after which you’re the similar age as me, 35.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 ageing is a giant matter for lots of people, and that may 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, plenty of buddies are jealous after 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anticipating that I might have like, a youthful organic age, however not that younger, truly how I really feel 20 years outdated, to be sincere. However I feel what I attribute that’s plenty of my life-style. So I take care plenty of my sleep. I do meditations early morning. I train day by day, and I’ve a balanced food regimen, like largely plant primarily based food regimen. And I made plenty of these modifications on my wholesome types in 2018. So I don’t know the way 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, each 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 pinnacle with these components of sleep being massively vital. All of us, I might say of all of the over 600 folks on this podcast, no one disagrees that sleep is tremendous vital and really useful. However I like that you simply additionally talked about meditation and motion. I feel these are big subjects as nicely. And you might be positively, like I stated, strolling proof that it really works. My organic age can also 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 plenty of these modifications 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 modifications we make, particularly behavior modifications, can actually, actually make a giant distinction there, which I like.
Alessandra: Sure, I completely agree. And a very powerful and wonder a part of that is that you would be able to begin the modifications any time in your life and you may see the advantages and begin, like, slowing down this strategy of ageing.
Katie: Sure, completely. And doubtless such as you, I really feel extra energetic and youthful now than I truly felt after I was in my 20s.
Alessandra: Precisely the identical. I really feel like, oh my God, dwelling the perfect of my life.
Katie: I adore it. And if for anyone not watching the video, you additionally appear like you’re about 20, your pores and skin is glowing, which is among the issues I’m additionally going to be very excited to study from you at this time about. However to start out off broad, perhaps stroll us by way of folks perhaps heard that the pores and skin is our physique’s largest organ, which I might say perhaps as a tie between muscle and pores and skin is the physique’s two largest organs, each essential. However speak to us about how pores and skin well being is related to total well being and the way with the pores and skin being such a big organ, it may well inform us loads about what’s occurring.
Alessandra: Yeah, completely. We all the time like we take into consideration the important organs on our physique, we take into consideration coronary heart, we take into consideration kidney, lungs, and we don’t suppose 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’ve got towards the exterior surroundings. It controls our physique temperature, our hydration. So you probably have like a wholesome pores and skin, a powerful pores and skin, you’re preserving, you might be like securing the well being of your interior physique. And when you’re having disfunction on the pores and skin, due to the scale 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 finally like the looks of different illnesses and dysfunction in different organs of our physique.
Katie: Yeah, completely. And it looks like 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 folks generally, for one, simply aren’t getting sufficient water to start with. But additionally it looks like electrolytes and minerals come into play in a giant approach after we’re hydrating as nicely. Any ideas personally or out of your analysis on hydration?
Alessandra: Yeah, on hydration, truly having consuming water is among the first issues like consuming greens which are reaching water, like cucumber, for example, may also assistance on hydration, however particularly like defending, having your pores and skin barrier protected. So like utilizing merchandise that may enhance the resilience of your pores and skin barrier, it will make it easier to to not lose the water that you’re intaking and hold the hydration of your physique.
Katie: That is sensible. And I really feel such as you touched on a key level with the water containing meals. And never solely, after all, you talked about you eat plenty of plant meals, however these meals have water in a unique kind than we get from simply consuming water. So it’s exceptionally useful and likewise are such supply of micronutrients. So simply one other test within the field for consuming all kinds of plant meals and vegetables and fruit being so vital.
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 could be a brand new time period for lots of people. And I do know that this goes far past simply placing lotion on once you get out of the bathe. From what I’ve learn, we’ve got an entire microbiome on our pores and skin, however there’s additionally that complete steadiness of hydration and that barrier that’s protecting. So we’re not shedding 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 de facto like, creating the barrier that protects our physique from the surface. So the pores and skin barrier is shaped by caroteno websites which are the cells from the epidermal layer that they stratified they usually kind this barrier. So there are two issues that may occur. One is, like, if there’s, like, an ageing course of occurring inside your pores and skin, if there’s irritation occurring in your pores and skin, it would have an effect on on how your pores and skin barrier is being shaped. So we’re all the time renewing our pores and skin barrier. So each like 28 days, we’ve got a brand new pores and skin barrier.
After which in case your pores and skin from the within shouldn’t be functioning appropriately, 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 prime 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 may make you lose extra water and be extra vulnerable to pathogens, can create extra irritation, extra redness in your pores and skin.
Katie: Yeah, I like that we bought to get into that as a result of I really feel like that half shouldn’t be 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 similar to with the pores and skin, I really feel like relating to oral well being, folks consider like, oh, it’s nearly what you place in your enamel. It’s when you put sugar in your mouth, when you put toothpaste in your enamel. However similar to you’re saying with the pores and skin, there’s an entire different layer, which is, are you getting sufficient of the fitting fats soluble nutritional vitamins and vitamins by way of your food regimen to really assist wholesome saliva and wholesome manufacturing of enamel in your mouth? And that half doesn’t get talked about sufficient. Identical to with the pores and skin aspect, folks usually consider like, oh, I’ve a pores and skin drawback, I’m simply going to solely deal with placing one thing on prime of it on the surface. However, such as you’re saying, there’s this complete steadiness 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 expounded with the pores and skin. So sugar, after we eat plenty of sugar, it’s truly 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 operate completely and begin to degrading. So what you might be consuming is definitely very related to your pores and skin well being as nicely. So it’s not solely what you placed on prime of your pores and skin, however what you might be consuming may also have an effect on your pores and skin well being.
Katie: That’s such an vital factor to comprehend as nicely. Let’s additionally discuss how pores and skin ageing occurs and perhaps additionally usher in senescent cells as a result of I really feel like ageing is such an enormous trade and such an enormous matter, nevertheless it looks like there’s a lot misinformation floating round.
Alessandra: There’s a lot. So ageing 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 operate of the cells of our physique. So this begins occurring and the factor is, when you might have dysfunction in your tissue and also you begin accumulating this, your physique shouldn’t be functioning correctly and will get extra vulnerable to have like persistent associated illnesses. That’s why after we get to 65 years outdated, the probabilities that we are going to develop Alzheimer, that we are going to develop a most cancers, diabetes, they begin rising exponentially. It’s because we bought to some extent that there’s dysfunction on the mobile degree on our tissues that’s like producing this surroundings that’s extra vulnerable to illnesses.
So this occurs in all our physique and this occurs after all on our pores and skin as nicely. And we all know now within the science group that they’re like earlier than was 9. This 12 months was up to date twelve hallmarks of ageing, like twelve dysfunctions on the mobile degree that results in ageing. Considered one of them is the buildup of what you stated, senescent cells that we are able to name to be simpler to know as broken cells. So after we are ageing, 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 mild and these are inflicting injury on our cells. And if the cell shouldn’t be in a position to restore this injury, 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 ageing, like what occurred is that our immune system additionally don’t reply anymore in addition to after 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 dangerous like signaling that’s irritation. So you probably 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. Whenever you begin accumulating senescent cells this begins like resulting in degradation of collagen of extracellular matrix which ends up 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 sturdy much less sturdy 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 you probably 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 illnesses within your physique.
That’s why we consider it’s essential to take care of the pores and skin well being. To take care of, like a correct pores and skin barrier, cut 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 after we are ageing there’s a time period referred to as inflammaging, the irritation that accumulates with ageing.
Katie: That is sensible. So principally irritation form of accelerates the method of pores and skin ageing.
Alessandra: Sure, precisely. So what we need to do is, like, to cut 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, reworking the cell to additionally turn into senescent, to additionally begin secreting irritation. After which when you might have plenty of irritation in your pores and skin, you don’t produce, like, a correct pores and skin barrier. And it’s very fascinating as a result of we’re in a position to 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 fundamental pores and skin cells fibroblast and keratinocytes. The fibroblast, they go on a layer of collagen that kinds just like the derms of the pores and skin and on prime of this we put the keratinocytes that produce the pores and skin barrier. So you probably have cells from a 30 years outdated 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 injury 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 reveals like how the irritation that’s accumulating on the pores and skin is type of like unbalancing the wholesome state of the pores and skin.
Katie: And in a minute I need to go deep on methods we are able to undo that irritation. However I need to study a little bit bit extra about this as a result of I do know you guys measure pores and skin ageing additionally in your lab and we talked about your organic age at the start. 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 ageing and perhaps simply a few of the info you gathered from that analysis?
Alessandra: Sure, after all. 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 12 months, two years, we’re all like, ageing on the identical velocity. Everybody that was born April 3, 1987, will flip 36 years outdated this 12 months.
However the way in which our physique is ageing, the way in which our cells are responding, this relies loads on every particular person’s life-style and the way they’re treating their physique. So our organs, our cells, they are often ageing in several velocity even when we’ve got the identical chronological age. So we’re in a position now to measure this organic age. This implies we glance to the DNA and we are able to 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’ve got developed a particular 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 had been very particular, studying just like the ageing strategy of the pores and skin for us was vital to know this extra nuances that may occur on the pores and skin that when you measure by way of a saliva pattern or by way of a blood, perhaps you’ll not get precisely what’s occurring on the pores and skin.
So we constructed an algorithm that reads the DNA of the pores and skin and is ready 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 at the moment are in a position to see if any interference made on that pores and skin utilizing a prime product or like after we are looking for a brand new lively, if they’re actually, like concentrating on, ageing 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, plenty of firms declare to struggle ageing, however you’re truly measuring tangibly if it’s truly working or not. And I might guess there are in all probability similar to we talked about with dental well being and pores and skin well being. There are some inner components that come into play right here as nicely. And I do know we’ll speak concerning the topical ones that you simply guys have actually performed the analysis on as nicely.
However I might love to listen to what are a few of the type of worst offenders that we are able to do internally or life-style components which are going to extend pores and skin ageing and irritation and or what are a few of the finest methods we are able to enhance that from the within out. After which we’ll speak concerning the exterior merchandise we are able to 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 de facto like, extra of sugar is de facto dangerous to your pores and skin as a result of it may well actually bind to collagen. Water, like hydration. Greens which are wealthy in water are additionally excellent to your pores and skin ageing. And the opposite factor after 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 loads 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 plenty of occasions to make your pores and skin look youthful, there are a number of very aggressive, intense procedures that you are able to do that will hurt your pores and skin. So plenty of like deep peeling if you concentrate on you’re exposing your pores and skin to extra just like the surroundings so that you may be growing the irritation of the pores and skin. So there is sort of a mixture that we’d like to consider. When you’re making an attempt 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 truly operate youthful. So you might be like serving to your physique and never solely like simply masking some signs of the ageing course of.
Katie: That is sensible. One other test for hydration and avoiding extra sugar, that are different particular themes amongst podcast company for normal well being as nicely. 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 performed particular analysis into some issues that can be utilized topically that sound like they really enhance the pores and skin from the inner aspect as nicely 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 in a position to do is we created a platform the place we replicate the ageing course of in vitro. After which with this platform, we’re in a position to measure the biomarkers, markers which are related to ageing on the pores and skin. So markers that may inform me if I’ve extra like, irritation in my pores and skin, if I having extra like this senescent injury 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 sturdy or if it’s being disrupted. So these two enable us to check completely different topical merchandise and likewise like to search out and establish new actives.
So after we began our analysis, what we observed was that the merchandise that we had been testing, they don’t goal the markers of ageing. To allow them to generally make your pores and skin produce extra collagen, which can plump your pores and skin, which can 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 collected injury.
So what we did in our analysis after 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 had been on the lookout for new peptides that might cut back the buildup of those broken cells. And with that, you had been in a position to enable the younger cells of your tissue to operate 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 persons are enthusiastic about peptides, however I haven’t heard as a lot about them from the pores and skin aspect. So I like that you simply guys are actually pioneering that. I feel folks might have heard of individuals utilizing injectable peptides, for example, 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 few of the others, you’re not having to inject this. It will possibly truly be used topically, proper, to get the identical profit.
Alessandra: Sure, and it’s essential as a result of we’ve got this platform, we’re additionally in a position to measure and to make sure that the peptide can penetrate the layers of the pores and skin. So there’s plenty of product generally that has like elements 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 in a position to penetrate. So we’re in a position 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 may 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 folks with you guys. I do know you’re measuring this within the lab. Are folks seeing generally 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 aspect. We began on the lab and we had been seeing like the advantages after we deal with the skins with the peptide. After which got here the query like after we apply we will see as a result of I can’t be measuring the mobile degree on a regular basis, so will I be capable to see enchancment on our pores and skin? After which we formulated and we bought to formulation that we’re in a position to actually see.
We ran medical research, so on our medical 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 medical examine, that was what we had been seeing very extensively within the lab. We had been in a position to see the advance on the pores and skin barrier operate after six weeks of use. So we’re proper available in the market for 2 years. There’s lots of people utilizing some folks 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 outcome comes with time. And since we’re ageing 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 ageing 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 nicely. And I discussed the oral well being aspect, and I formulated merchandise particularly within the oral well being world, and that was my thought as nicely. It appears to me that absolutely the baseline ought to be we keep away from something actually dangerous in our merchandise, though there are numerous merchandise that do comprise dangerous elements. To me, that ought to be the naked minimal. But additionally 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, for example, my thought was, how will we then put useful 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 making an attempt to do it with oral care and hair care. And I like I really feel just like the extra firms we’ve got like this, it’s going to assist shift the market, which desperately, I feel must be shifted.
