This week, the Ask Why team is joined 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.”
Dr. Pastrana goes into his history as a pharmacist, and the feeling that he wasn’t reaching his full potential behind the counter. When he later moved on to working in the hospital, he saw “the consequences of what happens when you just hand out prescriptions all day.” He additionally explains what a peptide is, and describes the experience that led him to researching them as well as develop a profound interest in cellular medicine.
Dr. Pastrana explains intermittent fasting, and the importance modifying this treatment for individuals in order to meet them where they’re at. Key takeaways regarding improving health include fasting, quality of sleep, and exercising in the morning.
“At the end of the day, all of this is about energy- Getting the cells the energy to do what they know they’re supposed to do.” - Dr. Leonard Pastrana
