You Have The Power To Live 10 Years Younger

You Have The Power To Live 10 Years Younger

Enter the new era of epigenetics, understand it and improve your future.

The science is in; our DNA destinies are not set in stone and it’s absolutely possible to change your biological age. Our genetics remain the blueprint of our health but hey, plans change.

Research shows that we are a decade older than our parents were at the same age. As a headline, that doesn’t sound great, but modern living has us aging faster and amassing more chronic diseases than any generation before us.

 

“It’s a common misconception that life expectancy throughout the past century has continually increased when in fact, since 2020, life expectancy has been going nowhere but backwards,” explains world-leading clinical Pharmacologist, Pharmaco-nutritionist and longevity expert, Professor Paul Clayton LYMA Director of Science.

 

“Life expectancy fell first in the US and then in Great Britain too, and it’s no coincidence that these are the two countries with the greatest penetration of ultra-processed foods (UPF).”


UPFs accelerate the aging process and are implicated in raising the risk of Type 2 diabetes and other age-related conditions. Statistics are elusive creatures and if you remove the figures for infant mortality (which thanks to modern medical science has plummeted), the life expectancy for a person aged 60 in 1900, is not very different from where it is today.”

 

6 steps to changing your genetic future

Rather than wallow in the malaise of our modern pitfalls, Professor Clayton tells us there are “Small sparks of light in the dark night,” and those are the ones we should follow.

 

“We have to be evidence based, if we’re not, what we’re doing is not science, it’s marketing and there’s enough of that. There is really good science out there; a lot of it is hard to access and hard to understand but our job as medical experts is to find the good stuff that will genuinely help.”


This is why LYMA brought together a world-class panel of medical experts to share insights on how we can all take steps to future-proof our bodies and minds, while nurturing our health for the long term.

 

1. Put on your best genes; epigenetics

The genetic hand of cards you are given at conception is the one you remain with but the way in which they function during your life, is far from set. Epigenetics is the science of how the activity of your genes fluctuates in response to external factors; including food, stress levels, hormones, pollution, even your workout regime.

 

“Epigenetics is a buffering system between your genes which are unchangeable and your environment which is completely changeable,” explains Professor Clayton. “Epigenetics is important because it takes your genetic potential and describes how well you can express it and whether that potential will be realized.

 

“You cannot change your genes, but pioneering research shows that you can change their condition and the way they function, and this can then modify the aging process considerably.”

 

We see epigenetic aging in action on a daily basis in skin. Impacted by both extrinsic and intrinsic aging factors, skin becomes less resilient, more fragile and visibly presents in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

Building on extensive scientific research into epigenetics and gene expression, LYMA has developed a revolutionary skincare formula designed to target the eight key mechanisms of aging. This breakthrough technology harnesses cutting-edge innovations to address the root causes of aging, delivering visible results.

 

2. Put out the fires; anti-inflammatory interventions

One of the hottest topics in medical science today is the Grand Unified Theory of Disease, which finds that nearly all disease is caused by chronic inflammation. But not all inflammation is the same; it’s important to differentiate between the acute and the chronic.

 

“The acute inflammatory state is vital in protecting us from adverse events, infections and tissue injury - our reparative processes depend on it. But a chronic inflammatory state is the complete opposite and highly detrimental to our health,” explains Dr Graeme Glass, Craniofacial, Aesthetic and Plastic Surgeon and Associate Professor of Clinical Surgery and LYMA Aesthetic Director.

 

“Chronic inflammation triggers adverse bacterial changes and the circulation of toxic proteins in the gut microbiome which are highly disadvantageous and affect our epigenetic health in an adverse way.”

Chronic inflammation also drives the destruction of the Extracellular Matrix; an organ in its own right consisting of 300+ different microfibers that run throughout the body, holding our cells together. Among these 300+ fibers are collagen and elastin, which are important for plump, bouncy, glowing skin.

 

 

“Stop chronic inflammation in the skin and you see vast epigenetic improvements”, advocates Dr Glass.

 

 

“There is good evidence that both the highly advanced actives formulated in LYMA Skincare and the near-infrared light in the LYMA Laser, modulate the inflammatory response.”

 

LYMA offers a unique formula that includes compounds designed to support the body’s natural immune function and overall well-being.

 

3. Fight and flight; a non-sedentary lifestyle

We might all feel like everyone is lycra clad and flocking to the latest cult gym but WHO statistics show that the global population isn't moving nearly enough. “We are getting more sedentary and heavier, although lately, levels of human activity appear to have bottomed out,” warns Professor Clayton.

 

“VR immersive video computer games may be contributing to activity levels starting to rise from this historically low point but we are probably the least physically active generation of humans that has ever lived and we pay a metabolic price for that.” It seems we should, quite literally, run for our lifespans.

 

Exercise is part of the epigenetic landscape as an extrinsic factor acting up on our gene expression,” explains Dr Tamsin Lewis who trained as a medical doctor at Guys and St Thomas’ in London, before obtaining a BSc in neuroscience and the biology of aging and has since set up a revered wellness focused medical practice known as Wellgevity. “If we exercise every day, evidence shows our organs function better when the body has been active.”

 

MenaQ7® Matrix complex formulated at 75µg in the gold standard LYMA Supplement supports the positive uptake of calcium into the bloodstream. When calcium reaches the bone mass and muscles efficiently, the body is able to remain strong and supple, no matter how hard a workout it’s put through. Clinical results of MenaQ7® Matrix show reduced delayed onset muscle soreness, faster physical recovery time, improved endurance and fewer injuries.

 

4. Power eating; back to basics

Nutritional intake is fundamental to living younger and requires holistic changes in how to feed and fuel the body. “We can’t all be over fasting and underfueling consistently because all our bodies tissues are made of amino acids, fats and proteins, so there’s a lot that needs to be changed,” says Dr Tam. “The quality of our food really matters; it should be well-sourced, organic and nutrient dense. As does the quality of our water intake to be filtered and ideally not in plastic bottles.”

 

What's in nutritional vogue seems to change as fast as the fashion pages but worldwide and throughout history, meat consumption has been associated with longevity. “I do not advocate a vegetarian diet because as we age we need to maintain muscle mass to become antifragile and we need a significant amount of amino acids in order to drive muscle protein synthesis that keeps us strong,” says Dr Tam.

 

“Different diets work because none of us are made the same, so we must become more prescriptive to what our cells need. How we extract and metabolize nutrients from our food, impacts gut health and a diverse gut microbiome is essential. We don't fully know yet how to build that, but what we do know is that additives in ultra-processed food carry a toxicity that might have a suicidal effect on your gut micobiome.”

 

“There’s such a level of disnutrition at the moment by people who are not eating properly or enough and just relying on marketing to sweep them through life”, LYMA Founder Lucy Goff.

 

Which is why she insisted on highly specialized Wellmune® Blend prebiotic formulated into the LYMA Supplement. Supported by twenty peer-reviewed studies, when consumed, it’s taken up in the intestines where cells called macrophages ingest the beta glucan 1-3, 1-6 and deliver it to organs, optimizing gut health and bolstering immune function throughout the body.

 

5. “ROXANNE” put on the red light; tune up your mitochondria

As we age, mitochondrial function declines and skin is unable to heal as quickly, loses elasticity, its tone becomes uneven, pigmentation amasses, and wrinkles and fine lines start to form. There’s a wealth of scientific evidence that near-infrared laser therapy impacts mitochondrial function in human tissue and cells. 

 

“To rebuild the ECM which is in the dermis, the metabolically active part of the skin, we have to positively influence the epigenome of the cells that help build it” says Dr Glass.

 

6. Say a little prayer; stress reduction

A significant scientific revelation of longevity research is that emotional unrest can lead to physical illness.

 

Emotional stress causes physical stress in the body, which in turn stores it as trauma; this then causes inflammation which compromises the immune system, affects brain function, exacerbates our propensity  for disease and accelerates skin aging. However, given the right tools and technologies in daily life, the stress aging process is modifiable and all can be turned around.

 

“The dynamism of gene expression is fascinating and quick, making offsetting the life we live such an exciting field. “You can de-age in days,” explains Dr Tam.

 

“Think about when you go on holiday and come back looking rested, that’s DNA methylation in action, that’s epigenetic processing and de-stressing.”
