Ep #166: Support Healthy Aging & Reverse Autoimmune Symptoms with Leslie Kenny
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.
