  • 338: Empowering Health: Leslie Kenny on Recovery, Fertility, and Wellness
    Jan 29 2024

    Have you ever wondered about the impact of trauma and stress on your overall health, and how to empower yourself to take control of your well-being? In this episode of LWL PODCAST, host Lane Kennedy engages in a deeply personal conversation with guest Leslie Kenny, delving into their experiences with alcoholism, fertility struggles, and the transformative power of self-education and self-empowerment in health and healing.

    Topics Discussed:

    • The impact of trauma and stress on health and the importance of self-exploration and self-healing.
    • Personal experiences with fertility struggles and the transformative power of self-education and self-empowerment in health and healing.
    • The use of wearable devices for improvements in sleep and overall well-being, along with the surprising results of biological age testing.
    • The potential benefits of spermidine and its implications for human health.

    About The Guest:

    Oxford Healthspan was founded by Leslie Kenny, an Oxford-based entrepreneur born in California and a graduate of Berkeley and Harvard Business School.

    In her 30s, her life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with an array of autoimmune conditions - lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and hypothyroidism. Her doctors told her there was no cure and that they could only be managed with strong immunosuppressants.

    This didn't sit right with her. Coming from a Taiwanese background, she was raised with the mentality that its best to work with your body’s innate wisdom to heal itself. Why would she suppress her immune system rather than support it in its natural abilities?

    On a quest to revive her own health, she went back to school at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in NYC. Her passion for health optimization grew and her career took an interesting and unexpected turn when she moved to Oxford and began working with Oxford University scientists and doctors.
