Less is More: The Case for Minimalist Fitness & Animal Nutrition · Jerry Teixeria · #139 Jan 07, 2020

Show notes

Minimalism can be applied to improve various aspects of one's life.

Jerry Teixeria, faced with the realities of raising children and attending to his family, going to the gym 6x a week quickly became unsustainable.

Shifting his focus to bodyweight training & progressive calisthenics in the comforts of his own sunny backyard, Jerry reached his goals of physique, healthspan, & more...all by dropping the weights.

This shift in his training approach even carried over to his nutrition protocol. Once a follower of the common "6 pre-prepped meals a day" advice preached by the traditional fitness community, Jerry simplified his eating habits and attained even greater results. From intermittent fasting (warrior diet) to eating a carnivore diet (correcting his autoimmune symptoms in the process), Jerry has run a wide gamut of self-experiments that he dives deep into on this week's podcast.

In this episode, Geoff & Jerry discuss:

The benefits of progressive bodyweight training and how one can get started. Why could this more primal approach be more effective than the standard heavy squat lifts you see others pushing through at your local gym?
The importance of continually overloading your workouts in order to avoid "plateauing". In the case of body-weight exercises such as handstands, pushups, and pull-ups, what does Jerry suggest one can do to ensure overloading is happening during a routine?
Jerry's experience with the carnivore diet, and why he is now more "carnivore-ish".
The effect of exercise on metabolism and longevity (mTor, IGF-1)

Good vs. Bad Science: Keto Hype, Cancer Research, & Fighting Misinformation · Kevin Bass, MS · #138 Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

Kevin Bass is unafraid to publicly call out those in the health & nutrition community he deems irresponsible...perhaps even dangerous.

Kevin states: “Bad science will hurt people”.

Passionate about truly helping people, his mission is to stop misinformation from spreading.

Albeit a controversial figure in the ketogenic diet community, we’ve found that Kevin isn’t as “anti-keto” as some would say. He’s an MD/PhD student whose thesis research actually focuses on the ketogenic diet and cancer. He’s acutely aware of the positive, neutral, & negative research, and does his best to bring a balanced perspective backed by published science.

In this episode, Geoff & Kevin discuss:

What about keto is overhyped & what is actually exciting? For example, is it curing diabetes or just putting it into remission? Does it have the potential to treat cancer?
Sensationalism vs. pragmatism: How can we create better science for the public? How can we determine who is a legitimate science-based health expert and who is not?
Kevin’s own personal health journey, nutrition protocols, challenges faced in medical school, & what motivates him.

Optimizing Brain Power: Eat Meat, Avoid Veggies? Carnivore Diet Science! · L. Amber O'Hearn · #137 Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

L. Amber O’Hearn grew up in a household that followed a mostly vegetarian diet.

In the subsequent years, Amber struggled with weight fluctuations & mental health disorders. After first experimenting with a low-carb diet, then a ketogenic diet, Amber finally discovered she only required one food that alleviated her from psychiatric medications and weight issues…

Meat.

For the past decade, Amber has been following the carnivore diet and meticulously researching nearly everything about ketogenic nutrition. An “OG” carnivore and data scientist by profession, Amber joins the H.V.M.N. Podcast to share her story.

In this episode, Geoff & Amber discuss:

Theories for her neurological issues and the possible explanations for why avoiding plants and eating meat was best for her brain and overall health.
The issues with modern veggies & fruit…could they be playing a role in the development of autoimmune disorders?
Nuances of protein consumption, ketosis, mTor activation, and AMPK stimulation

Immediately Reduce Glucose Levels Even After Drinking 75g of Sugar · Research Roundup (Ketone Ester) Dec 11, 2019

Show notes

It's the holiday season, and that often means big, happy meals with friends and family. That apple pie (that you may or may not give in) would be a glucose challenge for your body to handle.

What if you can preemptively improve your body's metabolic ability to handle that serving of pie with exogenous ketones? A pair of studies from University of British Columbia by Prof. Jonathan Little and Oxford Prof. Kieran Clarke researched how H.V.M.N. Ketone impacts glycemic response in both normal and obese populations.

Before participants consumed a 75g glucose drink, they consumed a ketone monoester. The results?

Reduced glycemic response and markers of insulin sensitivity.

In this episode of Research Roundup, Geoffrey Woo explains the studies' design, analyzes the specific results, and finally, what one could take away from the science and apply it to their personal life.

On a keto "cheat meal" day, could you perhaps reduce the negative effects a carb-heavy meal would have on your metabolism? Let's find out.

Can You Age Backwards? Epigenetic Reprogramming for Extending Lifespan · Dr. David Sinclair · #135 Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

Is there no limit to human longevity?

The latest & most cutting-edge research in aging paints a fascinating picture for the future.

Much of this work comes from Dr. David Sinclair, a Professor in the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School & the author of New York Times Bestseller "Lifespan: Why We Age - And Why We Don't Have To".

Dr. Sinclair's leading hypothesis for why we age and how we can manipulate our biological clock is dubbed the "Information Theory of Aging". He joins the H.V.M.N. Podcast to expand on the biological mechanisms behind his theory, the discoveries from his research, and what we can potentially do today to extend our lifespan.

Topics Discussed:

· Epigenetic reprogramming

· What the "Observer" could be (Dr. Sinclair proposes that each cell has an original dna ‘observer’ copy that can be activated and restored to a youthful state)

· Hormesis

· Horvath's clock

· Metabolic and cellular pathways for longevity

· Potential interventions for longevity: Nutrition, cold exposure, metformin, resveratrol, NAD+, ketones

What NO Politician Is Saying About Healthcare · Geoff Talk Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Fixing healthcare costs & health insurance is part of standard political speeches & debates for US presidential candidates today.

Everyone knows there’s a problem with the healthcare system. However, virtually all of the politician's discussions & proposals are based on bandaid solutions.

The real issue? The healthcare crisis begins with our widespread health crisis.

No politician is talking about how modern lifestyle and industrialized nutrition is destroying the health of millions of Americans.

No politician is going to talk about this because telling the masses that their comfortable lifestyle is unhealthy and dangerous is not what they want to hear.

Healthcare is primarily fixing people when they're broken. Our current society and culture are breaking too many people, too quickly.

In this video, Geoffrey Woo dives deep into the issues of healthcare, population health, and what he believes we can all do to steer society in a better direction.

Science of Better Sleep: Regulating Temperature & Making Sleep Data Actionable · Eight Sleep · #134 Nov 20, 2019

Show notes

Sleep is known as a common "pillar of health", yet is increasingly neglected in our modern society. Although technology has constantly been advancing, our beds have remained largely the same.

Stanford Professor Craig Heller & Matteo Franceschetti from Eight Sleep joins the podcast to discuss the science of better sleep.

How can we translate the "gold standard" of a clinical sleep environment to our own sleeping routines...our own homes? What sleep biomarkers make up a good night's rest? How important is body temperature for optimal sleep?

In addition, we discuss:

Sleep technology: The drawbacks of wearables, envisioning a future in which we can control and create our own optimal "sleep environment", & the power of thermoregulation.
How measuring "quality" of sleep works in a home setting and in a clinical setting
Importance of accessible & long-term health data: How did Matteo use his sleep data to predict oncoming illnesses?
