In this fascinating episode, Angela’s guest is Dr Amy Killen an anti-ageing and regenerative physician specializing in sexual optimization, aesthetics and integrative medicine. Amy shares a variety of the best approaches and explains how and why each strategy is important in treating or maintaining healthy skin, hair and sexual vitality. The tools and therapies used for skin and sex are very similar – stem cells, light therapy and PRP are all used in a range of different ways to keep skin and hair healthy and maintain sexual vitality. This is a great opportunity - to not only hear about effective maintenance strategies, and treatments but also to hear about how and why they work.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Sexual health and vitality Mind your mind – for all of us our biggest sex organ is our brain and being in the right mindset is vital so that you are ready to have sex. We are designed to have sex when we are relaxed and not stressed. Keep healthy - You need good blood flow and cardiovascular health Nitric oxide - Increase and maintain your nitric oxide levels. We all make nitric oxide and it facilitates the widening of blood vessels. Your body is also able to convert the nitrate you take in through food into nitric oxide Optimise your hormones - Levels of hormones drop with ageing, keep hormones at an optimal level PRP - Use therapies such as the ‘O’ (orgasm) shot and the ‘P’ (Priapus) shot which is traditionally administered using PRP Shockwave therapy - treatments for both men and women that involve red light therapy and sound wave therapy can help restore sexual health. Skin and Hair The tools used for skin and sex are very similar – stem cells, light therapy and PRP Women increasingly lose their hair and red-light therapy can be a really effective treatment. Red light therapy increases ATP production in your mitochondria. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is great for skin,  hair and sexual function and can be used in a variety of ways to keep skin and hair healthy. From the age of 25 onwards your body begins to make less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Collagen gives skin water retaining abilities Elastin gives the bounce back Hyaluronic acid – helps your skin to retain water The sun remains the number one cause of ageing. It's vital that you use a sun block every day. Sugar is one of the worst things you can do for your skin, hair and sexual health, It gets in and breaks down the structure of your skin, as you get older you are making less and breaking down more. Avoiding sugar, using sun block, being healthy in body and mind along with completion of a maintenance routine are the steps anyone can take to age more slowly.   BEST MOMENTS ‘It’s a circus for your vagina’ ‘Causing a small amount of microtrauma, done in a safe way can be helpful in keeping your skin in continual regeneration phase’ ‘As you age the bones in your face change and the fat pads move exercise is not going to change this, it’s part of ageing.   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Dr Amy Killen Instagram Dr Amy Killen website Dr Amy Killen Facebook   ABOUT THE GUEST Amy Killen MD Amy Killen MD is an anti-ageing and regenerative physician specializing in sexual optimization, aesthetics and integrative medicine.
