The Power of Sprouts to Detoxify The Body with Doug Evans Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

Doug Evans is joining us today to speak about the powerful effects of sprouting. This conversation opened my eyes to the possibilities of sprouts. This compound is present in all cruciferous vegetables. In animal studies, when glucoraphanin is chewed or swallowed, it produces a cancer-protective compound SULFORAPHANE. This sulforaphane absorbs toxins from the body and flushes them out through urine.
The best way to get sulforaphane is to sprout your broccoli organic seeds in your own home. At between five and six days old, the sulforaphane in broccoli sprout contains up to 100 times more than in mature plant. The sprouts can also be used in smoothies, sandwiches, wraps or salad apart from juicing.

Broccoli sprouts are now readily available in major retail stores, but make sure you buy organic, non-GMO, or better still buy the seeds and sprout at home.

Doug is a pioneer in this space and in this episode we speak about sprouting peas, chick peas, beans and broccoli.

Show notes

When it comes to sleep, Vitamin D impacts brain regions involved in sleep regulation and sleep wake cycles. The exact mechanisms by which Vitamin D affects and regulates these sleep mechanistic pathways is unclear, although it has been suggested that there are some areas within the brainstem that is affected by Vitamin D.
Three things we will discuss:

What vitamin D is- we seem to be confused
Its link to sleep
VItamin D values and daily doses:

Precision Nutrition and Metabolic Health Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

To live long, healthy lives, research suggests looking towards the gut microbiome to ward off chronic diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, or type 2 diabetes. A whopping 46 million Americans are currently over 65 years of age. As Americans age, they are more at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

In this part II of the podcast with Dr. Ralph Esposito, we discuss all things nutrition and hormones. We attack this from an athletic perspective and give reference to questions like "what are the hormones that athletes need to know about and what are we doing to mess these hormones up".
Other things discussed in the episode:

Herbs/ supplements
What is oxidative damage and oxidative stress?
How are reactive oxygen species formed and how can they harm your cells if present in high concentrations?
How can you minimize the creation and negative impacts of reactive oxygen species in your body and brain?
What is the best type of diet for your physiology.

What is Inflammation and Immunity? Medicine Redefined with Austin Perlmutter Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

Dr Austin Perlmutter, MD is back on the podcast to give us a a complete overhaul of the immune system, inflammation and what we can do to optimise for both.
Some types of inflammation are damaging to the body, while others, usually more transient and playing a signaling role, can be beneficial. Chronic inflammation creates reactive oxygen species that damage DNA, cellular proteins, and lipids. This type of inflammation plays a key role in the development of many diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
The immune system is the body’s natural defense system. It does not reside in one single part of the body—rather, it is made up of a network of cells, molecules, tissues, and organs working together to protect the body.
The most crucial part of this entire podcast?
When Austin and I break down the what and the why behind increased inflammation and decreased immunity. We go into strategies and interventions you can use to have a better performing brain and live a healthier life.

How We Age and What We Should Do About It Nov 03, 2021

Show notes

My guest today is a revolutionary thinker and medical doctor who’s on a mission to make you younger.
Scientists now know that short-term acute “stress” has powerful health and longevity benefits, as long as the stress subsides at some point.
For example, it’s long been known that exercise is good for us, but it wasn’t exactly clear why. Hormesis is the likely explanation.
Consuming nothing at all can also put your body into a temporary state of nutritional adversity. Extended malnourishment is not good, but smaller doses of calorie restriction can help promote longevity.
Adam is the Chief medical officer and co-founder of Span Health. He is also a medical doctor focused on longevity and aging. His background is in internal medicine and oncology with an MSc in genomics.
In this episode Adam teaches us:
The Long-Term Benefits of Short-Term Stress
Why ‘hormesis’ is key to your health and longevity
How to age backwards
What Metformin is and who should consume it.
How tech is revolutionising the health space

5 Scientific Errors Made by Public Heath Officials - Dr Vinay Prasad Oct 29, 2021

Show notes

I’m sure you are sick to death of the confusion surrounding COVID-19. I am too!

The bottom line is is that there is so much confusion about what is going on and where exactly we are right now. Who should we trust? Who is right and who is just feeding us more politics?

Most of the confusion comes from public officials and some physicians, those who we deem to trust, who have told lies and who have failed to abide by the laws that govern their industry. It’s hard to not be angry when you hear a two year old crying about the masking mandate. Should we be masking kids?

To help me cut through the noise, the confusion and endless bickering, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Dr. Vinay Prasad to The Neuro Experience podcast. The bulk of our conversion was about Covid-19, or more accurately, the stupidity surrounding it. The misinformation.

A doctor who is at the forefront of public health and policy who lead me through the discussion on how to navigate through these tough times.
