Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Menopause Reimagined, Andrea Donsky, a nutritionist, menopause educator, published menopause researcher, and co-founder of wearemorphus.com, talks with Leslie Kenny, CEO and patient advocate based in Oxford, about reversing autoimmune symptoms, supporting healthy aging, and easing perimenopause and menopause with food-first strategies. Leslie shares how she went from multiple autoimmune diagnoses and a grim prognosis to conceiving naturally at 43 and achieving a biological age of 21 at 59, through lifestyle changes, nutrition, and a science-backed compound called spermidine.Topics Covered:Autoimmune to thriving: Leslie’s simple steps to lower inflammation, support immunity, and rebuild health.Spermidine, a natural compound that triggers cell cleanup (autophagy) and acts like a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for healthy aging.Food-first sources you can use now: nato (fermented soy), shiitake/oyster mushrooms, legumes, peas, and long-fermented cheeses like British cheddar.Menopause-specific wins: better sleep, hair and skin changes, nail strength, and support for hormonal balance.How spermidine reverses 8 of the 12 “aging levers”.New studies suggest that spermidine plays a role in immune rejuvenation and anti-tumor surveillance. Plus a Canadian study showing shifts in estradiol, cortisol, DHEA, and pregnenolone.Links:Primedene with Morphus20 to receive 20% off your orderSpermidine potentiates anti-tumor immune responses and immunotherapy sensitivity in breast cancerSend us a text As seen in USA Today: https://bit.ly/43nrMwO ✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh🦋 SUBSCRIBE to our list: https://bit.ly/3VdDA0V Support our sponsors: CODE: MORPHUS BEAM Minerals: https://bit.ly/43MrfFL EnergyBits: https://bit.ly/49f05YV Jaspr: https://bit.ly/3C1n9hq Timeline: https://bit.ly/4jIK1mR Livon: https://bit.ly/3S6JfDS OneSkin: https://bit.ly/4lX2wVw CODE: MORPHUS15 Qualia: https://bit.ly/42mtvmx MyVitalC: https://bit.ly/3EQ9bAf CODE MORPHUS20:Oxford Healthspan: https://bit.ly/4kzl3qR Hear.com https://bit.ly/4jUextA FOLLOW US:TikTok: @andreadonsky | @wearemorphusInstagram: @wearemorphus | @andreadonskyFacebook: /wearemorphus DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice.
