And she has performed a number of analysis into this space, particularly and particularly with energetic elements that profit the pores and skin from the surface in.
I really like that strategy as a result of I took an identical strategy with Wellnesse in creating oral care and hair care merchandise. Of course we must always keep away from the poisonous stuff on our pores and skin, however understanding that our pores and skin is one in every of our physique’s largest organs, how can we then use that to our benefit with helpful elements?

So in case you are inquisitive about growing old and pores and skin well being, it is a truth packed episode. She was very enjoyable to speak to. So let’s be part of Dr. Alessandra. Alessandra, welcome. 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 quite a bit about growing old and pores and skin well being. But on that notice, and earlier than we leap into simply the pores and skin aspect, I’ve out of your bio that your organic age is 20 years outdated, after which you’re the identical age as me, 35.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 growing old is a giant matter for lots of people, and that could be a massive distinction together with your organic age, which may be very spectacular. So kudos to you, however what do you attribute that to?
Alessandra: Yeah, I imply, a number 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 energetic individual. 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anticipating that I might have like, a youthful organic age, however not that younger, truly how I really feel 20 years outdated, to be trustworthy. But I believe what I attribute that’s a number of my way of life. So I take care a number of my sleep. I do meditations early morning. I train on daily basis, and I’ve a balanced eating regimen, like principally plant based mostly eating regimen. And I made a number of these adjustments 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 believe all these issues that I added to my routine, every day routine, I believe they’re contributing to have a decrease organic age.
Katie: I adore it. I believe you might be strolling proof, for one, however you hit the nail on the pinnacle with these elements of sleep being massively vital. We all, I might say of all of the over 600 folks on this podcast, no person disagrees that sleep is tremendous vital and really helpful. But I really like that you simply additionally talked about meditation and motion. I believe these are large matters as nicely. And you might be undoubtedly, 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 believe I’m about 24. But I believe, additionally, such as you, I made a number of these adjustments as an grownup. And so it’s very encouraging to know that we do have a lot energetic management over that course of and that adjustments we make, particularly behavior adjustments, can actually, actually make a giant distinction there, which I really like.
Alessandra: Yes, I completely agree. And an important and wonder a part of that is you can begin the adjustments any time in your life and you’ll see the advantages and begin, like, slowing down this means of growing old.
Katie: Yes, completely. And in all probability such as you, I really feel extra energetic and youthful now than I truly felt after I was in my 20s.
Alessandra: Exactly 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 without doubt one of the issues I’m additionally going to be very excited to study from you at the moment about. But to start out off broad, possibly stroll us via folks possibly heard that the pores and skin is our physique’s largest organ, which I might say possibly as a tie between muscle and pores and skin is the physique’s two largest organs, each crucial. But speak to us about how pores and skin well being is linked to total well being and the way with the pores and skin being such a big organ, it could inform us quite a bit 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 in regards to the pores and skin. But the pores and skin has an enormous function in our well being. It protects, it’s the primary protecting barrier that we have now in opposition to the exterior atmosphere. It controls our physique temperature, our hydration. So when you’ve got like a wholesome pores and skin, a powerful pores and skin, you’re protecting, you might be like securing the well being of your internal physique. And in the event you’re having disfunction on the pores and skin, due to the scale of the pores and skin, will probably be speaking with our physique and might have an enormous affect. It may be contributing so as to add to your well being and ultimately like the looks of different illnesses and dysfunction in different organs of our physique.
Katie: Yeah, completely. And it looks as if hydration is a big key for pores and skin well being and clearly additionally for the well being of our whole physique. Is any tip on that? Because I really feel like folks generally, for one, simply aren’t getting sufficient water to start with. But additionally it looks as if electrolytes and minerals come into play in a giant manner once we’re hydrating as nicely. Any ideas personally or out of your analysis on hydration?
Alessandra: Yeah, on hydration, truly having ingesting water is without doubt one of the first issues like consuming greens which might be reaching water, like cucumber, as an illustration, also can assistance on hydration, however particularly like defending, having your pores and skin barrier protected. So like utilizing merchandise that can improve the resilience of your pores and skin barrier, this may assist you 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 not solely, in fact, you talked about you eat a number of plant meals, however these meals have water in a unique kind than we get from simply ingesting water. So it’s exceptionally helpful and in addition are such a great supply of micronutrients. So simply one other verify within the field for consuming all kinds of plant meals and fruit and veggies being so vital.
And I additionally, you talked about the pores and skin barrier. Let’s speak slightly bit extra about that as a result of that is perhaps a brand new time period for lots of people. And I do know that this goes far past simply placing lotion on while you get out of the bathe. From what I’ve learn, we have now an entire microbiome on our pores and skin, however there’s additionally that entire stability of hydration and that barrier that’s protecting. So we’re not shedding hydration via our pores and skin.
Alessandra: Yes. So the pores and skin barrier is like many of the outmost layer of your pores and skin is what is basically like, creating the barrier that protects our physique from the surface. So the pores and skin barrier is fashioned by caroteno websites which might be 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 growing old course of occurring inside your pores and skin, if there’s irritation occurring in your pores and skin, it is going to have an effect on on how your pores and skin barrier is being fashioned. So we’re all the time renewing our pores and skin barrier. So each like 28 days, we have now a brand new pores and skin barrier.
And then in case your pores and skin from the within is just not functioning appropriately, in all probability additionally, you will have a dysfunction in your pores and skin barrier. Using lotions will help, like, you to create that layer on high of your pores and skin that provides the safety. But if there’s one thing, like, not occurring from the within, you’ll nonetheless have, like, a dysfunction on the pores and skin barrier that can make you lose extra water and be extra prone to pathogens, can create extra irritation, extra redness in your pores and skin.
Katie: Yeah, I really like that we bought to get into that as a result of I really feel like that half is just not 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 in relation to oral well being, folks consider like, oh, it’s nearly what you set in your enamel. It’s in the event you put sugar in your mouth, in the event you put toothpaste in your enamel. But similar to you’re saying with the pores and skin, there’s an entire different layer, which is, are you getting sufficient of the best fats soluble nutritional vitamins and vitamins via your eating regimen to truly help wholesome saliva and wholesome manufacturing of enamel in your mouth? And that half doesn’t get talked about sufficient. Just like with the pores and skin aspect, folks usually consider like, oh, I’ve a pores and skin downside, I’m simply going to solely handle placing one thing on high of it on the surface. But, such as you’re saying, there’s this entire stability of what’s going within the physique, not simply on the physique.
Alessandra: Yeah. And you stated one thing like about consuming sugar within the oral well being, this additionally is expounded with the pores and skin. So sugar, once we eat a number 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 linked to your pores and skin well being as nicely. So it’s not solely what you placed on high of your pores and skin, however what you might be consuming also can have an effect on your pores and skin well being.
Katie: That’s such an vital factor to understand as nicely. Let’s additionally discuss how pores and skin growing old occurs and possibly additionally usher in senescent cells as a result of I really feel like growing old is such an enormous business and such an enormous matter, but it surely looks as if there’s a lot misinformation floating round.
Alessandra: There is quite a bit. So growing old is a course of that’s occurring constantly 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’ve gotten dysfunction in your tissue and also you begin accumulating this, your physique is just not functioning correctly and will get extra prone to have like continual associated illnesses. That’s why once we get to 65 years outdated, the probabilities that we’ll develop Alzheimer, that we’ll develop a most cancers, diabetes, they begin rising exponentially. This is as a result of we bought to some extent that there’s dysfunction on the mobile stage on our tissues that’s like producing this atmosphere that’s extra prone to illnesses.
So this occurs in all our physique and this occurs in fact on our pores and skin as nicely. And we all know now within the science neighborhood that they’re like earlier than was 9. This 12 months was up to date twelve hallmarks of growing old, like twelve dysfunctions on the mobile stage that results in growing old. 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 once we are growing old, 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 totally different mild and these are inflicting harm on our cells. And if the cell is just not in a position to restore this harm, 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 it is 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 growing old, like what occurred is that our immune system additionally don’t reply anymore in addition to once 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 performing like a nasty apple in a basket. So they’re spoiling the wholesome tissue like they’re secreting this unhealthy like signaling that’s irritation. So when you’ve got and also you proceed having the senescent cell there, you’ll begin like creating dysfunction on the tissue.
And then on our pores and skin. When 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 biggest organ, the irritation that we’re accumulating on the pores and skin, it’s additionally like sending the signaling to our internal physique. So when you’ve got 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 continual illnesses inside your physique.
That’s why we consider it’s crucial to take care of the pores and skin well being. To keep, 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 once we are growing old there’s a time period known as inflammaging, the irritation that accumulates with growing old.
Katie: That is sensible. So mainly irritation type of quickens the method of pores and skin growing old.
Alessandra: Yes, precisely. So what we wish to do is, like, to cut back this extra of irritation. So you’re like wholesome skins, they don’t get, like, contaminated, as a result of the irritation can act on a wholesome cell, remodeling the cell to additionally develop into senescent, to additionally begin secreting irritation. And then when you’ve gotten a number of irritation in your pores and skin, you don’t produce, like, a correct pores and skin barrier. And it’s very attention-grabbing 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 best way we do that is like having the 2 primary pores and skin cells fibroblast and keratinocytes. The fibroblast, they go on a layer of collagen that varieties just like the derms of the pores and skin and on high of this we put the keratinocytes that produce the pores and skin barrier. So when you’ve got 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 harm 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 sort of like unbalancing the wholesome state of the pores and skin.
Katie: And in a minute I wish to go deep on methods we are able to undo that irritation. But I wish to study slightly bit extra about this as a result of I do know you guys measure pores and skin growing old additionally in your lab and we talked about your organic age initially. You additionally do organic age of pores and skin, proper? So are you able to stroll us via the way you measure pores and skin growing old and possibly simply a few of the info you gathered from that analysis?
Alessandra: Yes, in fact. So everyone knows and it’s simple to know the idea of chronological age as of late that like, we’re born the Earth go across the solar, one 12 months, two years, we’re all like, growing old on the identical pace. Everyone that was born April 3, 1987, will flip 36 years outdated this 12 months.
But the best way our physique is growing old, the best way our cells are responding, this relies quite a bit on every individual’s way of life and the way they’re treating their physique. So our organs, our cells, they are often growing old in numerous pace even when we have now the identical chronological age. So we’re ready now to measure this organic age. This means 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 have now developed a particular algorithm to measure the pores and skin organic age as a result of, just like the totally different tissues of our physique, they age otherwise. And as a result of we had been very particular, studying just like the growing old means of the pores and skin for us was vital to know this extra nuances that may occur on the pores and skin that in the event you measure via a saliva pattern or via a blood, possibly 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 are actually in a position to see if any interference made on that pores and skin utilizing a high product or like once we are trying to find a brand new energetic, if they’re actually, like focusing on, growing old 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, a number of firms declare to combat growing old, 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 inside elements that come into play right here as nicely. And I do know we’ll speak in regards to the topical ones that you simply guys have actually performed the analysis on as nicely.
But I might love to listen to what are a few of the sort of worst offenders that we are able to do internally or way of life elements which might be going to extend pores and skin growing old and irritation and or what are a few of the greatest methods we are able to enhance that from the within out. And then we’ll speak in regards to 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 basically like, extra of sugar is basically unhealthy to your pores and skin as a result of it could actually bind to collagen. Water, like hydration. Vegetables which might be wealthy in water are additionally superb to your pores and skin growing old. And the opposite factor once 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 quite a bit with the aesthetics. We wish to look good. I’m speaking in regards to the pores and skin well being, I’m speaking in regards to the pores and skin functioning as a younger tissue.
So a number of instances to make your pores and skin look youthful, there are a number of very aggressive, intense procedures that you are able to do which will hurt your pores and skin. So a number of like deep peeling if you concentrate on you’re exposing your pores and skin to extra just like the atmosphere so that you may be rising the irritation of the pores and skin. So there is sort of a mixture that we’d like to consider. If 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 growing old course of.
Katie: That is sensible. Another verify 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 type of assist reverse that course of. Can you stroll us via 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 growing old course of in vitro. And then with this platform, we’re in a position to measure the biomarkers, markers which might be related to growing old on the pores and skin. So markers that can inform me if I’ve extra like, irritation in my pores and skin, if I having extra like this senescent harm 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 permit us to check totally different topical merchandise and in addition like to search out and determine new actives.
So once we began our analysis, what we seen was that the merchandise that we had been testing, they don’t goal the markers of growing old. So they will 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. But you’re nonetheless accumulating broken cells in your pores and skin. So it’s a younger trying pores and skin that has steering the within amassed harm.
So what we did in our analysis once 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 searching for new peptides that might cut back the buildup of those broken cells. And with that, you had been in a position to permit the younger cells of your tissue to operate correctly and to supply like a wholesome pores and skin. So utilizing this platform that we determine 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 really like that you simply guys are actually pioneering that. I believe folks might have heard of individuals utilizing injectable peptides, as an illustration, for all types of various issues inside the physique, however this one may 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 can truly be used topically, proper, to get the identical profit.
Alessandra: Yes, and it’s crucial as a result of we have now 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 a number of product generally that has like parts that they are saying, they declare they’ve some molecules that they don’t act, they don’t seem to be doing something to your pores and skin as a result of they don’t seem to be in a position to penetrate. So we’re ready to make use of in our platform, mark the peptide and we assure that the peptide is ready to penetrate the pores and skin. And then 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 typically a discount of their pores and skin age from this and the way lengthy does that course of take? People are in all probability listening, how do I do 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 once we deal with the skins with the peptide. And then got here the query like once we apply we can see as a result of I can’t be measuring the mobile stage on a regular basis, so will I be capable of see enchancment on our pores and skin? And then 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 research, 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 out there 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 consequence comes with time. And as a result of we’re growing old on a regular basis and we’re being uncovered to break on a regular basis, we deal with our product as a topical complement. It’s one thing that you’ll constantly use that will help you decelerate the growing old course of and that will help you hold your pores and skin on the wholesome state.
Katie: Yeah, I believe it’s very synergistic to how I believe 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 must be we keep away from something actually dangerous in our merchandise, regardless that there are various merchandise that do include dangerous elements. To me, that must 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, as an illustration, my thought was, how will we then put helpful issues? How will we make use of that in a great way? And you guys are doing this with skincare in the best way that I’m making an attempt to do it with oral care and hair care. And I really like I really feel just like the extra firms we have now like this, it’s going to assist shift the market, which desperately, I believe must be shifted.
