This week, the Ask Why team is joined again by Leonard Pastrana, PHARMD. Dr. Pastrana is the co-founder of NuBioAge, and is on the faculty of Seed Scientific Research and Performance. NuBioAge defines itself as “Clinical Pharmacists Specializing in Human Optimization.”
The team discuss finding early signs of chronic disease, and different tests that can find these signs including Hemoglobin A1C, and fasting insulin level. Dr. Pastrana additionally explains the power that dentists and dental hygienists in particular have to discover subclinical diseases in their patients by testing for periodontal disease.
Pastrana illustrates some different peptides and their uses, including ability to improve gut health, quality of sleep, and even cognitive function. He also details a study on certain peptides’ abilities to reduce cardiovascular age and improve bone formation.
“What I’ve seen is two things that are happening once people start aging: people are really bad at processing sugar, and they’re bad at controlling what they eat. And we can tackle that with one peptide. We can tackle eating habits and the body’s ability to be smart and to create insulin right at the right time.” - Dr. Leonard Pastrana
