Show notes

This episode covers:

In this episode, we discuss how effective polysaccharides can be, why aloe Vera is beneficial to brain health, Dr. Lewis’ top tips for brain health, and so much more.

Dr. Lewis is past full-time and current Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™. While Dr. Lewis still maintains an academic affiliation, he chose to leave a full-time research career to pursue his true passion of helping people achieve health through nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise. His research in brain health and immune function was key in the creation of Daily Brain Care, but afterward, he chose to shift into business where the opportunity to reach a larger audience is greater. Dr. Lewis Nutrition™ is the vehicle through which Dr. Lewis leverages his many years of personal and professional work to spread a message of health that is so desperately needed, particularly for those who are afflicted with an all-too-common chronic disease, e.g., neurodegeneration, immune dysfunction, or cardiac and metabolic disorder.

E163: Women's Hair Loss & Connection to Hormones, Stress, and Nutrition with Faraz Khan Dec 05, 2023

Show notes

This episode covers:

An interview with Faraz Khan. Faraz Khan is an anti-aging and hair expert. He hosts the popular Anti-Aging Hacks podcast. Faraz inherited hair thinning from his mother's side of the family. His hair thinning started when he was a soccer athlete in college and led to years of anxiety, shame, and a loss of confidence. He tried hair growth vitamins, hair serums, and hair shampoos but nothing worked. He reluctantly got on a prescription drug, which didn't fully stop his hair loss. Faraz decided that he wanted to use a natural solution without side effects. In his quest to find a way out of this heavy burden that life had placed on him, he traveled the world in search of experts and explored dozens of solutions. It was only after he combined the knowledge across hair loss, anti-aging, and wellness did he experience a renewed vitality with his hair. In this episode, we discuss why hair loss is multifactorial, the important role stress plays in hair loss, how men and women deal with hair loss differently, and so much more.
