The Truth About Longevity, Exosomes & MORE with Dr. Sandra Kaufmann
In this episode of Triumph Weekly, host Karie Johnson chats with Dr. Sandra Kaufmann, a pediatric anesthesiologist, cell biologist, and leading longevity expert. Dr. Kaufmann shares her science-backed approach to slowing the aging process, from understanding the seven tenets of cellular aging to personalized supplement protocols. She also opens up about her unique routines—including her daily donut habit—and how she “biohacks” it using pharmacological strategies.
They explore the importance of circadian rhythms in gene expression, why sleep is more than just rest, and how the Kaufmann Protocol helps everyday people stay healthier longer. Dr. Kaufmann also discusses her Club Exosome gatherings, working with Ben Greenfield, and the top supplements everyone over 40 should consider.
