Functional nutrition and genetic testing, when used appropriately, can provide valuable insights for individualized treatment. Building a strong health foundation is essential before exploring advanced treatments or supplements.  Holistic health encompasses more than just physical symptoms. It involves understanding the interconnectedness of the body, considering the broader context of a person's life, and incorporating elements like joy, laughter, and physical expression for overall well-being.

We often hear that certain foods are "good" or "bad" for us. But what if the real key to health isn't about avoiding specific foods, but rather embracing diversity in our diets? In this Longevity podcast episode, I am joined by nutrition expert Joel Greene to discuss how nature's meal plan is built on variety and balance.  We dive into ancestral eating patterns including periods of "foraging" followed by occasional feasts, why even "superfoods" can become problematic if eaten too often, and how to mitigate the effects of less-than-ideal meals. We also discuss the surprising benefits of foods like oats, bananas, and cactus and why short-term results don't always translate to long-term health.  Joel Greene is the creator of the VEEP Nutrition System. He is a featured author, speaker, and guest in top-tier publications and his system has been featured on the Dr. Phil Show (among other shows), where it has delivered astounding life-changing results.

Myokines exert a stimulative effect and prevent bone reabsorption (breaking down and weakening). Proper nutrition, strength training, and supplements can mitigate bone deterioration. Muscle is one of the most powerful energy factories because it’s full of mitochondria. You can reclaim your energy by being active.  Fat loss peptides can possibly make you lose muscle mass, but proper nutrition and strength training can negate those effects so you lose mainly body fat. You could also balance it out by using other peptides like growth hormone.

Have you experienced an injury that just won't seem to heal? It may be time to look beyond the site of pain and consider the impact of stress on your body.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Charlie Cates about Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) - a unique approach to addressing pain and injury by focusing on the activation of inhibited muscles. Through targeted isometric contractions or manual stimulation, MAT aims to restore efficient muscle contraction, allowing the body to better withstand external forces and protect itself from pain and injury.   We discuss MAT compared to other modalities and the fact that MAT recognizes that the source of the problem may not always be local. This conversation offers advice on the benefits of MAT, and how it can increase longevity and physical freedom. By helping to heal and prevent long-term, nagging injuries, MAT can keep people engaged in their favorite activities.   Overall this episode offers guidance on using MAT to identify the true source of the pain problem, improve communication within the body, and keep muscles functioning well    Charlie Cates graduated from Northeastern Illinois University, where he earned a Master of Science degree in exercise science. He specializes in helping his clients and community live healthier and stronger lives through exercise that is sustainable and pain-free. He is a certified Muscle Activation Techniques® practitioner and is one of Chicago’s most sought-after specialists for muscle and joint issues.   He authored the book “The Exercise For Life Method”, and co-hosts the Exercise Is Health® podcast with his wife, Julie. He has two amazing children who give him a greater reason to prioritize his health every single day. His current long-term goal is to have a dunk contest with his son when he is 50 years old.

Once activated, the muscles can contract more efficiently, withstanding greater external forces and protecting the body from pain or injury. MAT views these neurological weaknesses as communication issues rather than strength issues, and the assessment identifies positions where muscles cannot contract or sustain contraction on demand. MAT is different from other modalities in the fact that it specifically addresses the dormant muscles that aren’t working properly.  Just because the pain is local, doesn’t mean the problem is local.  If you want to be active, MAT can keep you active. It helps heal and prevent long-term, nagging injuries. It also helps people recover faster after surgery if they incorporate MAT before surgery. MAT offers longevity and physical freedom by keeping your muscles functioning well and even contributes to bone health.

Ever wondered what’s true and what’s not when it comes to insulin sensitivity, women’s hormones, and fat-loss peptides? There is a lot of information no matter where you look, and it’s hard to know what to believe!    In this episode on the Biohacking Superhuman Performance Podcast, I talk with Karen Martel, and Dani Hamilton about popular health trends, separating fact from fiction. We discuss the importance of purchasing peptides from reputable labs to ensure safety and quality, emphasizing that cheap deals may lead to scams.   We also explore the highly individualized nature of blood sugar, revealing that 93% of people in the US are metabolically unhealthy. We even get into the dangers of oats and oat milk! We dive deep into the role of estrogen and progesterone in preventing breast cancer, dispelling the misconception that these hormones are dangerous for women in menopause.  This conversation also focuses on the effectiveness of weight loss peptides, such as semaglutide (Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro), the benefits of these peptides beyond weight loss, and how to optimize the results.    Karen Martel is a hormone specialist who provides women with accurate, evidence-based information and support regarding peri and post menopause, enabling them to make more informed choices about the management of their hormones and provide a better pre and post-menopausal quality of life. Dani Hamilton is a Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner who helps people find freedom from sugar and carb cravings with real food and lifestyle tips so they can heal the body, balance blood sugar, lose weight, and feel amazing!   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/      Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Sign up for Nats Newsletter: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i7d5m0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance   Find more from Karen Martel: Website: https://karenmartel.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenmartelhormones/  Podcast: https://karenmartel.com/category/ontrack-podcast/    Find more from Dani Hamilton:  Website: https://www.daniellehamiltonhealth.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniellehamiltonhealth  Podcast: https://www.daniellehamiltonhealth.com/podcast    What we discuss: (2:13) Don’t buy cheap peptides (9:00) The impact of oat milk on blood sugar  (19:00) CAROL bike vs Peloton  (23:00) Misinformation about women’s hormones  (36:00) Hormone pellets  (42:00) Weight loss peptide side effects  (55:00) Blue light and metabolic health (1:00:00) Shame and judgment around weight loss peptides (1:10:00) Fasting and insulin sensitivity  (1:15:00) Where to find more from Nat, Dani, and Karen.   Key Takeaways: Buying peptides is already a leap. Don’t opt for cheap deals as you’re likely to get scammed. If you buy from a proper lab, you have the ability to go back to them if something goes wrong. They keep partials of each vial to re-test if needed. Make sure you’re finding someone who is doing the work and can vouch for the research.  Blood sugar is completely bio-individual. However, 93% of people in the US are metabolically unhealthy. Oats and oat milk both break down into pure sugar, causing blood sugar issues in these individuals. It’s an assault on the body!  Research shows estrogen and progesterone can help prevent breast cancer. It’s not a danger to women in menopause. Estrogen is one of the most important hormones - related to preserving the brain, insulin sensitivity, heart health, and more. It has about 800 different functions!  Weight loss peptides (semaglutide/Ozempic, tirzepatide/Monjarou) are highly effective and have shown benefits other than weight loss, like brain health, improving insulin sensitivity, and more. While there can be some negative side effects, it’s very rare. As long as you focus on protein, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, weight loss peptides can aid immensely.

We’ve all heard of the placebo effect, so we know with certainty that our minds have healing abilities. But how powerful is it really?    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Brandy Gillmore about her life-changing injury and how she healed herself with her mind. We discuss the power of positive reinforcement, the importance of repetition in creating new positive neuropathways, and how emotions influence healing. It’s important to be careful with how you talk to yourself so that you’re not reinforcing negative energy. Our conversation covers biophotons, and their implications in healing due to the effect it has on cellular proliferation.    Overall, this episode offers guidance for working on your health outside of conventional methods and the power our emotions have over the body.    Brandy Gillmore is a motivational speaker, author, and consultant. Her expertise began after her own devastating illness when she found herself somewhere she never thought she’d be — disabled, spending most of her days in bed, on various forms of morphine, and yet still in extreme pain.  For years, one doctor after another told her there was nothing they could do for her. That’s when Brandy became determined to get her life back. She spent several years studying and researching and eventually began to discover key insights that became life-changing. Since her incredible recovery, Brandy works with people worldwide to understand the profound impact that stress and emotions can have on their bodies and their lives.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: BodyBio: Visit BodyBio.com today and get 15% on your first order with code Nathalie   Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com   Inside Tracker: Use code NIDDAM to save 20% at https://www.insidetracker.com    Find more from Brandy Gillmore: Website: https://brandygillmore.com/  Ted Talk: https://youtu.be/5dEbqRYqY_0?si=COa00XWw3s1zoGQY  Podcast: Heal Yourself Change Your Life Instagram: @brandygillmore  Book Now Available: Master Your Mind & Energy To Heal Your Body (Kindle, Amazon, Barnes & Noble)    Love what you heard on this episode?  Special Offer for Listeners of this Podcast: get a free 90 Minute Training with Brandy Gillmore plus a special offer - go to brandygillmore.com/Nat-Gift  Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ  Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community  Sign up for Nats Newsletter: https://landing.mailerlite.com/webforms/landing/i7d5m0  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/  Website: www.NatNiddam.com    Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance    What We Discuss:  (1:30) Healing with the mind - Gillmore’s Work (3:00) Life changing injury  (8:30) Placebo effect and belief (12:00) Open-Label Placebo Studies  (15:00) How emotions influence healing (21:00) Amplifying emotions (28:00) Creating positive neuropathways  (34:00) The shift from effort to full healing (38:00) Coaching others in mind healing (42:00) Biophotons (54:00) Homunculus map  (56:00) Pain relief through mindset  (1:08:00) The 4 minute mile principle   (1:11:00) Find more from Brandy Gillmore    Key Takeaways: When it comes to healing with the mind, it takes real mental change. You must work on your patterned way of thinking, reinforcing good or positive energy. You can create positive neuropathways in your brain to fight the negative. Working on optimism helps, but you must amplify the emotions and really feel it.  Our subconscious is a very powerful thing. How you speak to yourself can affect how you live and feel. By amplifying your emotions, you can help influence your subconscious by delivering a different message. Repetition helps develop these patterns, which in turn can enhance your healing.  Biophotons are light particles that are generated within the body and are constantly radiated from the body's surface. These spontaneous emissions are thought to be associated with the generation of free radicals due to energy metabolic processes. Research shows biophoton emissions affect cellular proliferation, meaning it should be able to aid in healing. Some studies have shown that emotions influence biophotons. But more studies are currently being done.

Have you tried all of the popular detox methods, but continually feel worse and worse?    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Dr. Dan Pompa about why popular detox methods aren’t the answer to many of the chronic problems people are suffering from. True detox starts within the cell, and Dr. Pompa discusses the 5 Rs - a step by step guide to cellular health. We also discuss many detoxification myths, hormone resistance (which can be caused by toxins in the cell!), and the process of hormesis.    Overall, this episode offers guidance on upregulating your cell's detox pathways, how to adapt to good stress for maximum benefits and the importance of reducing inflammation.    For the past two decades, Dr. Pompa has been designing, practicing, and teaching his cellular detox strategies around the world, to both practitioners and the public. Dr. Pompa’s powerful presentations focus on ancient fasting strategies, cellular detox, his multi-therapeutic approach to healing, and common, but frequently misdiagnosed autoimmune, hormone, and neurodegenerative conditions. Dr. Pompa’s own story, which he has titled “From Pain to Purpose to Promise,” unveils how his health struggles, family tragedy, and legal battles have transformed him into a powerful health and longevity evangelist which led him to fulfill his purpose.

Many detox treatments can work in the short term, but real detoxification starts with the cell. Our cells can naturally detox themselves unless they are overwhelmed. For a lasting, sustainable detox, start working to upregulate the detox pathways in the cell. The steps for true detoxification: One - upregulate detox pathways in the cell so the toxins are pushed out of the cell. Two - chelators outside of the cell help move the toxins out of the body. Three- Binders are used to mop up any leftover toxins in the gut and liver to remove them from the body.  Hormesis is a good type of stress for the body. You can activate it with exercise, eating stressed plants, cold and heat exposure, and fasting. But it’s important that your body is adapting, otherwise it just turns into a huge negative stress.

You’ve heard of Ozempic and Monjarou, but do you know how they work, as well as the benefits, and the downsides?    In this episode, I discuss the use of fat loss peptides, specifically semaglutide and tirzepatide. Tune in as I explore the benefits, differences, and side effects of these compounds. This episode emphasizes the importance of using them properly and making lifestyle changes to achieve long-term weight loss. They do have some highlights - the potential health benefits of these peptides, such as improved insulin sensitivity and heart health can be game changers. Overall this episode provides guidance on protein intake, exercise, and gradual weight loss. You’ll learn who should not use these compounds as well as tips for safe usage and tapering off.   To learn more about peptides, and where to get them, check out my “Nat Recommends” page on my website.

These compounds have benefits such as increased satiety, improved insulin sensitivity, and higher resting metabolic rate. It is important to make lifestyle changes, including exercise and protein intake, to achieve long-term weight loss. Individuals with certain health conditions should avoid using these peptides. Using the lowest effective dose and gradually tapering off is recommended.

If you’re struggling with a hormone imbalance, resist the temptation to just throw more hormones into the mix  to try and fix it.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Dr. Anna Cabeca - The Girlfriend Doctor,  about how environmental toxins and stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, leading to issues like irregular periods and feeling unwell. But, did you know that it can take more than hormones to fix hormones.    The good news? You can improve your hormonal health and even reverse many of these  issues naturally. We explore the importance of detoxification to eliminate those toxins and support your body's natural systems. Dr. Cabeca also highlights that birth control pills might contribute to hormonal imbalances due to synthetic ingredients. But hormones are just one piece of the puzzle. This episode emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach, including diet, stress management, and even creating a more alkaline body environment to improve mood and mental well-being.   We also dive into the power of oxytocin, the "love hormone" and how healthy activities can naturally boost your oxytocin levels. Overall, this episode offers guidance on balancing hormone health whether you’re pre-, peri-, or post-menopause.    Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is the best selling author of The Hormone Fix ,  Keto-Green 16 and MenuPause. Dr. Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine.

If you struggle with abnormal menstrual cycles or feel bad all of the time, it can be turned around. You will likely need to work on detoxing from any environmental toxins. We often power through feeling crummy, but you will realize how bad you feel once you start feeling good.  Birth control can be a toxin as it is a synthetic progestin and it suppresses ovarian hormone and natural cycling. (Progestin is the synthetic (human-made) form of progesterone).  It takes more than hormones to fix your hormones. You need detoxification support, adrenal support, dietary support, and alkalization for mental health and mood.  Oxytocin is the most powerful hormone in the body. It is the hormone of love, bonding, and connection. Healthy, happy, joyous activity increases oxytocin in the body (it’s the opposite of cortisol!) Some people may benefit from supplementing oxytocin, but the first step is to always clean up the system.

Optimizing your gut microbiome is arguably one of the most important things you can do for your health as it plays so many integral roles in almost every body system. This is why, in this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Chidozie Ojobor, Ph.D.  about the importance of the microbiome's influence on human health, particularly on the gut-brain connection and mental well-being.   He discusses the role of butyrate, leaky gut/brain, probiotics, and the importance of diet diversity in promoting a healthy microbiome. The conversation also covers the impact of modern lifestyle, antibiotics, and colon cleansing on gut health, and how to get accessible gut microbiome testing - in particular, the testing done by Vitract.    Chidozie Ojobor Ph.D. is a Molecular Biologist with over 12 years of experience in Medical Microbiology research, and the co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Vitract. In his early research years, he worked on human rotaviruses that cause severe gastroenteritis in children.   Afterward, he proceeded to earn his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto, Canada. During his doctoral training, he developed through genetic engineering, novel therapeutic entities that target disease-causing bacteria such as the ones found in complex biological ecosystems as the gut microbiome. These tools he developed worked with high specificity and precision, making them the ideal candidates for targeted therapy. Dr. Ojobor's works in the fields he worked in have been well-cited by numerous scientists across the globe.

Antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiome, and the use of probiotics during and after antibiotic treatment may help restore balance. Prolonged antibiotic usage can have long-term consequences for gut health, including increased risk of certain conditions. Colon cleansing and enemas may have detrimental effects on the gut microbiome and should be approached with caution. Chronic stress and antibiotic overuse can disrupt the microbiome. Gut microbiome testing provides valuable insights into gut health. Affordable and comprehensive tests are needed to improve access to microbiome testing. Short-term changes in the microbiome can have clinical utility.

Did you know, the rapid decline of mitochondrial health is one of the root causes of the nation’s major diseases like cancer, PCOS, Alzheimer's, and coronary heart disease?    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I talk with Shawn Wells about mitochondrial health, its effects on our life’s energy, as well as supplements that can help. Berberine, Dihydroberberine, and Metformin all show positive effects on the mitochondria, and we delve into the research and benefits behind each.    We also discuss several other interesting topics like how stoicism and some stress in life are a good thing, the need to continually work on lowering blood sugar levels, and how BEG (brain energy gap) affects mood disorders.    Overall, this episode gives guidance on how to work on improving your life’s energy source to live a fully vibrant life.    Shawn Wells, “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, is a bio-hacktivist who overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical disc replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. His health problems led him down a winding path that required him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking.

(40:40) The benefits of a flexible metabolism (feast & famine)  (42:00) Paraxanthine & metabolizing caffeine  (52:50) Find more from Shawn Wells   Key Takeaways: 87% of the United States population is metabolically dysfunctional. This means they’re bordering on type 2 diabetes, obesity, blood pressure issues, renal issues, etc. Metabolic dysfunction leads to mitochondrial dysfunction which is causing all kinds of shortfalls in other areas of health such as oxidation issues, telomeres shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased inflammation. Because the mitochondria are where ATP is created (the body’s energy currency), when it’s dysfunctional, it lowers the ability to live life. Insufficient cellular energy (ICE) is the root of many metabolic diseases like cancer, PCOS, Alzheimer's, and coronary heart disease.  If BDNF levels are high enough, you can create new neurons even as an adult. Learning a new language or instrument, brushing your teeth with the opposite hand, or trying any really difficult task can result in increased brain health. Challenging yourself creates a more dynamic brain and vibrant life. Never stop learning or growing!  Berberine, Dihydroberberine, and Metformin cause mitochondrial stress - but it’s a good stress! It ultimately causes mitochondrial biogenesis, which in turn increases the cellular output of ATP. And it lowers blood glucose through the AMPk pathway.

If you’ve been wondering what exactly bioregulators are and what differentiates them from the peptides you’re already familiar with, then this episode is for you.   Today we’re diving into the world of bioregulator peptides, and covering everything from how they work to where they come from. We’ll also discuss why there has been an increasing number of physicians that are starting to implement bioregulator peptides into their protocol, and how bioregulators are often used in conjunction with conventional therapy. We’ll also talk a bit about the history behind bioregulators, and the connection between bioregulator peptides and the 12 hallmarks of aging.   To learn more about peptides, and where to get them, check out my “Nat Recommends” page on my website.

[00:11:55] Other than our own bodies, where else can we get bioregulators from? [00:13:31] Taking extracts from tissues, glands, and organs to isolate bioregulator peptides [00:17:31] The three different forms of bioregulator peptides [00:21:54] How safe are bioregulator peptides? [00:22:45] What are some of the organ systems that bioregulators address? [00:25:34] Why bioregulators are often used in conjunction with conventional therapy [00:26:35] Why bioregulators don't need to be used indefinitely Key Takeaways: Bioregulator peptides are molecules that can act as epigenetic switches, meaning they can modify gene expression without altering the genetic code itself. By selectively turning on or off certain genes, bioregulator peptides can help regulate a variety of biological processes, from inflammation and immune response to tissue repair and regeneration. There are currently 21 bioregulator peptides that address many different organ systems and can be used to improve your overall health. These peptides are derived from various sources, including plant and animal tissues, and work by signaling cells to perform specific functions. In many cases, bioregulators are used to enhance the effects of other forms of treatment. For example, they may be used alongside medication or physical therapy to help improve overall health and well-being. By using bioregulators in combination with conventional therapy, patients may be able to experience greater symptom relief and faster healing times.

Have you heard of glutathione and its role in fighting free radicals? Glutathione is your body’s own built-in detoxifying champion.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, Dr. Nayan Patel (the glutathione guy) and I discuss the details of glutathione, the most abundant molecule in the body. This molecule has amazing benefits for our healthspan and longevity when levels are healthy.   We also dive into glutathione’s functions and even a few instances that may cause people to not produce glutathione as they need. This molecule is a major component in detoxing the body and preventing oxidative stress.    We also offer guidance on how to supplement glutathione and when or if you even need to supplement it and discuss Dr. Patel’s easy to read book about his discoveries of glutathione.    Dr. Nayan Patel is globally regarded as the foremost go-to expert on absorbable forms of glutathione, and holds the only patent on transdermal glutathione. In addition to many other topics such as cellular function and hormone replacement, Patel is a highly sought after global authority on the critical role in that glutathione, and all other antioxidants and endogenous molecules play in the body.

Because of this, It affects many many facets of health. Glutathione neutralizes free radicals. It soaks up the electrical charge, becomes oxidized itself, and then binds with another glutathione molecule to create a very stable molecule (GSSG molecule). It’s also a powerful conjugator. It binds to chemicals in the liver to make them water soluble so you can pee out the waste. Basically, glutathione neutralizes free radicals and gets rid of toxins in the body. Some people have conjugation issues, and their bodies cannot detox because the two glutathione molecules cannot come together. This is found in many kids with autism.  Even though glutathione is the most abundant molecule in the body, some precursors are needed. Glutamic acid, glycine, and cysteine are amino acids that you can get from food, but you have to eat amino-rich foods. These three aminos come together to create glutathione. But some people have G-mutation, a defect that keeps these amino acids from getting together.  Oxidative stress is what damages DNA, causing the aging process. The more oxidative stress, the faster you age. Glutathione can help prevent that damage, and relieve the body of oxidative stress, increasing your health span.

If you’ve followed along whether on social or on this podcast, you know I talk about peptides and their benefits quite a lot. That’s why I’m so excited for today’s episode with Dr. Suzanne Ferree.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, Dr. Ferree and I dive into several different peptides, their benefits, and new research that is evolving. We discuss the blood brain barrier, it’s importance, and how to prevent it from becoming compromised. Some peptides, like BPC and TB4, may help mitigate damage from traumatic brain injury. Others, like VIP and GLP-1 agonists, can regulate circadian rhythm, improve gut health, and potentially benefit conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Join us as we discuss these peptides, and more!    Overall, this episode offers guidance on using peptides for various health issues, but also the importance of having healthy lifestyle habits before diving into peptide repair. Healthy lifestyle habits will support peptide efficacy, so it’s where everyone should start.    Dr. Suzanne Ferree uses bioidentical hormones, peptide therapy, neural therapy, and regenerative medicine to treat patients with endocrine, mitochondrial, infectious, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases. Her thriving practice treats executives and athletes from around the world as well as patients with chronic or unusual diseases. Her new book, Counterclockwise comes out March 4th, 2024.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Sensate: Use code NAT at www.getsensate.com/Nat BEAM Minerals:Go to https://www.beamminerals.com code Nathalie to get 20% off your order Leela Quantum: Get 10% OFF on your first Leela Quantum Tech order with code NAT10 at www.leelaq.com and use code NAT15 at http://quantumupgrade.io for a 15 day free trial.

Protecting and repairing the BBB is essential for optimal cognitive function. Several peptides can be used to support brain health in different ways. Some, like BPC and TB4, may help mitigate damage from traumatic brain injury. Others, like VIP and GLP-1 agonists, can regulate circadian rhythm, improve gut health, and potentially benefit conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. However, it's important to use these peptides under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional and consider individual factors like existing medical conditions. A holistic approach to brain health is crucial. While peptides can offer targeted support, it's important to combine them with other strategies like healthy diet, exercise, and stress management for optimal results.

If you’ve been around here long, you’ve heard of BPC-157. This powerful peptide has drummed up many questions, and today’s episode dives into the answers!    In this bonus episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I discuss BPC157 - the multipurpose peptide. BPC-157 has benefits for gut health, tissue regeneration, and a balanced immune and inflammatory response as well as supporting a myriad of other body systems. I dive into the basics of the peptide, where to get it, how to take it, as well as what animal and human research has shown for this popular supplement.    Overall, this episode gives guidance on the healing properties of BPC-157 and who it’s best for.    To learn more about peptides, and where to get them, check out my “Nat Recommends” page on my website. It has all things peptides! https://www.natniddam.com/nat-recommends-peptides  Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com   Peptide Info:  Peptides Nat Recommends: https://www.natniddam.com/nat-recommends-peptides  LVLupHealth (ships worldwide): Use Code NAT10 Healthgevity: http://healthgevity.com/Nat Use Code LONGEVITY  LELabs Use Code NAT20 Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community   Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What We Discuss:  (2:14) The Basics of BPC157 (4:11) The popularity and applications of BPC157 (11:09) Scenarios to use BPC157  (14:24) Wound healing (17:00) pain relief (19:20) BPC157 is neuroprotective (21:30) Who benefits the most? (24:24) Available forms of BPC157  (37:00) Got more questions?  Key Takeaways: BPC157 is shown in research to have huge healing implications on the GI tract. It originates in the GI tract. It’s a compound that can help repair any damage done to the lining of the digestive system, from wounds in the mouth to ulcers in the stomach. It’s been used in research to try and heal diseases like Chrons.  It also can repair skeletal muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons and ligaments get really poor blood supply, so it’s very hard to heal that area. BPC157 drives angiogenesis. It can drive new blood vessels to the area to help heal the injury.  BPC157 can be used as an injectable or taken orally. When taken orally, it does wonders for gut health. It can help other issues when taken orally, but it’s not as potent as an injectable.

Osteoporosis is often a condition reserved for older people, specifically women. But did you know that it affects young people as well as men? Protecting bone health can start at a young age if we continue to discuss the importance of it as Kevin Ellis and I do in this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance.    In this conversation with guest Kevin Ellis, the Bone Coach, we explore the world of bone health and bone disease. Osteoporosis is affecting more and more people at younger ages due to the sedentary lives with low-nutrient diets that society leads.    We dive into the standard recommendations that follow an osteoporosis diagnosis, as well as the medications, side effects, and long-term results of these procedures. Most medications require even more follow-up medications, so knowing what you’re getting into is important when selecting the route you want to take. Natural bone restoration is an option for those who don’t want to blindly follow the medication route.    Overall, this conversation offers guidance on exercise, nutrition, and gut health procedures for building and maintaining quality bone tissue for longevity.    Kevin Ellis is an Integrative Nutrition Certified Health Coach, osteoporosis "thriver," and founder of BoneCoach™. He has made it his mission to help over a million people around the globe address bone loss, build bone strength, stop fearing fractures, and lead active lives. He's most famous for helping people with osteopenia and osteoporosis gain clarity and confidence that improvement is possible.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   BodyBio: Visit BodyBio.com today and get 15% on your first order when you use code Nathalie Sensate: Use code NAT at www.getsensate.com/Nat Inside Tracker: Use code NIDDAM20 for 20% off at InsideTracker.com/NIDDAM20 Find more from Kevin Ellis Website: https://bonecoach.com/  Podcast: The Bone Coach Podcast  Instagram: @bonecoachkevin Stronger Bones Masterclass: https://bonecoach.com/stronger-bones-masterclass    Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community   Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What We Discuss:  (0:50) The start of Bone Coach (2:20) Osteoporosis isn’t just in old people or women (3:20) How PPIs play into long-term issues (5:33) The difference between osteoporosis and osteopenia.  (9:20) Dairy isn’t the only solution for bone health.  (12:20) The issues with the standard treatment recommendation for an osteoporosis diagnosis.  (15:00) Quality bone is just as important as bone density (18:50) Important nutrients for your skeleton (20:15) What you have to know before taking medication  (26:25) A natural approach to healing bone loss (46:44) The Bone Coach Program  (48:17) Stress, sleep, and bone health (50:00) You need K2! Not just magnesium, calcium, and D3.  (52:30) Find more from Bone Coach Key Takeaways:   Decade-long use of PPIs is highly damaging. It reduces stomach acid, but you need stomach acid to break down food in order to absorb important nutrients like amino acids, B12, and more. If PPIs are taken at all, it should be for just a short while.  Osteoporosis means porous bones. It’s not enough bone formation or excessive bone loss. Bone quality and density are reduced. Osteopenia is a precursor to osteoporosis - it just means low bone mass. Most people aren’t getting scanned until later in life, or towards menopause. Peak bone mass happens near 30 years old. Getting a bone density scan around that time frame can help you monitor changes over time.  A sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and a low-nutrient diet can cause bone loss. You can naturally build bone without medication. The most important foundations for bone health are diet, gut health, and exercise. Without a healthy gut, we cannot absorb the nutrients that we need to build bones. People with gut diseases like Celiac or Chrons need to have bone scans often. Protein is highly important along with calcium. For exercise, walking is not enough to build bones. You need muscle pulling on bone and impact. A mix of weight bearing exercises (walking, yoga, gardening, pickleball, hiking) non-weight bearing exercises (long-distance cycling and swimming) and muscle strengthening exercises (barbell, dumbbell, machine work, squats, deadlifts, squats in the 5-10 rep range) are all needed to build quality bone as well as dense and flexible bone.

Have you spent years trying to better your health with fad diets or expensive supplements? If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms or cannot find an answer to ongoing health problems, I know it can be disheartening and overwhelming.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Katie Wells, we discuss the four pillars of health and the importance of taking a step back, basically stripping all the “health routines” down to the basics. Katie shows that this route can be refreshing and often a way to overcome all the overwhelming data that is thrown into the health and wellness space. Focusing on the four pillars of health can alleviate stress and give a clear picture of what is causing the health issues in the first place.    We also dive into the data behind the blue zones and the controversy behind them.  Overall, this episode offers information on the importance of community and how it has an impact on longevity and health. And that getting back to the basics is an important place to start when looking for answers.     Katie Wells is a mom of six with a background in journalism. She took health into her own hands and started researching to find answers to her own health struggles. Her research turned into a blog and podcast that turned into an amazing community. The Wellness Mama encourages a natural, simple route to finding health and longevity for each individual.    Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   ARMRA: Visit https://glnk.io/738nx/nat or use code NAT to get 15% off your first order.    BodyBio: Visit BodyBio.com today and get 15% on your first order when you use code Nathalie   LeelaQ: Get 10% OFF on your first Leela Quantum Tech order with code NAT10 at www.leelaq.com and you can use code NAT15 at http://quantumupgrade.io for a 15-day free trial.    Find more from Katie Wells:  Website: https://wellnessmama.com/  Podcast: The Wellness Mama Blog: https://wellnessmama.com/blog/  Instagram: @wellnessmama    Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: www.NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community   Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What We Discuss:  (1:30) Katie Wells’ intro into the health and wellness space. (7:00) The Four Pillars - Light, Movement, Nutrients, and Sleep.  (8:50) The Light Pillar & Nature Deficiency Disorder (11:00) The Movement Pillar (12:45) The Nutrient Pillar - food & relationships (13:45) The Sleep Pillar  (16:50) Balancing wearable health trackers  (19:00) Mindset and stress management (25:40) Letting go of stress and bringing back simplicity  (30:50) Blue Zones (38:40) Doing less for the nervous system (43:14) Be present in the moment to lower stress (45:15) Find more from Katie Wells   Key Takeaways:   Finding your own path into health and wellness is essential. Experts are great and may be able to guide you, but in the end, your own journey is the only thing that will show you where you need to be. Your body is designed to heal itself - It will tell you loudly what is wrong! Listen to yourself in addition to all the experts you may be chasing after.  Building a healthy foundation using the four pillars will get you set up to find the answers and results you need. While everyone is different, these four pillars are common across humans, and getting them to a healthy place will increase the potential of living in a healthier state. The four pillars are light, movement, nutrients (community), and sleep. While these four pillars are common, they can still be individual to the person, of how much of each is needed for longevity and health.  Be aware of your inner dialogue and the stories you tell yourself. Negative self talk only leads to stress, guilt, and overwhelm. Positive self talk, and inquisitive questions can help you start a positive feedback loop that gets you out of the wrong mindset, helps you manage stress, and allows you to slowly start working on the four pillars of health.

I’m sure you’ve heard how bad fat is for your health. For years, fat has gotten a bad rap. People often say, “fat makes you fat” but new research is showing quite the opposite.    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Stephanie Venn-Watson, we discuss the saturated fat C15: and its essential role in the body. This fascinating fat that is found in dairy, strengthens our cell membranes which is crucial for longevity. Our cells prove that “you are what you eat” and too often, we don’t eat enough fat to support these cells!    We also dive into supplementing C15:0 so that you’re not getting a large amount of unhealthy saturated fats - just the good stuff! Overall, this episode shows that we don’t need to fear fat anymore. We need it for healthy aging and fighting chronic diseases.    Stephanie Venn-Watson is a serial entrepreneur who has successfully launched Epitracker, and Seraphina Therapeutics, two clinical research programs within the Department of Defense and the non-profit sector and founded public health education programs in the community and at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She has over 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications and book chapters and is the lead inventor on over 40 issued and pending patents. For her entrepreneurial work in the health industry, Stephanie was awarded the Department of Human and Human Services Secretary’s Award for Innovations in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com   Carol Bike: Visit carolbike.com and use promo code NAT for $100 off.   Sensate: Use code NAT at www.getsensate.com/Nat   Find more from Stephanie Venn-Watson:  Website:https://fatty15.com/ Info on C15:0 : https://www.discoverc15.com/  Instagram: @fatty15 Use Code: NAT or go to fatty15.com/NAT for a discount!    Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What We Discuss:  (1:14) Stephanie, Dolphins & Fat (6:20) Metabolomix & discovering a saturated fat (10:50) What does C15:0 do?  (14:45) The role of fat for human health (16:00) Even vs Odd chain saturated fat  (25:00) Anemia and dolphin studies (32:00) Cutting out dairy  (33:30) C15:0 and the hallmarks of aging (45:00) Foundational supplements (46:00) Where to get C15:0 (48:30) Dosing C15:0  (54:00) Where to learn more about Fatty15 Key Takeaways:   C15:0 a beneficial fatty acid has been shown in studies to be not just beneficial but essential in a predictor of health. The last fatty acid to be discovered was omega 3s over 90 years ago. C15:0 - a saturated fat - strengthens our cell membranes. Our cells are surrounded by two layers of fat and can change based on what we eat.  There are two kinds of saturated fats - even chain and odd chain. Even chain saturated fats are present in really high levels in processed foods. They’re pro-inflammatory and high levels are associated with diseases. Odd chain saturated fats have the opposite effect. They’re anti-inflammatory and can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. They have no hinges - no double bonds. C15:0 acts like a brick in our cells- it helps the cells fight off aging and chronic diseases.  We get C15:0, the healthy saturated fat, from whole dairy fat. It’s hard to get it from any other source. The health of dairy fat is controversial though because for every 1% of healthy odd chain saturated fats in dairy, there is 40% of even-chain saturated fats. Supplementing with Fatty15 is a great source to get in pure C15:0.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Amy Killen, we explore the world of stem cells - what they are, how they perform in the body, and how they work to increase longevity. Stem cell therapy is still being researched and regulated, but there is an amazing amount of potential for healing and increasing longevity with these powerful cells.    We also dive into exosomes - the small molecules that can penetrate places that stem cells can’t. Aesthetic procedures are popular with exosomes- they have the power to restore hair and rejuvenate skin, and are used in many skincare products. We even go over ovarian rejuvenation and Rapamycin, a potential prescription drug for delaying menopause.     Overall, this episode offers guidance on stimulating stem cells right in your own home. We talk through different tips such as supplements, fasting, and getting sun in a healthy way for those who aren’t in a place to budget for stem cell therapy.    Dr. Amy Killen is an outspoken advocate for empowering people to look and feel their best by merging lifestyle modification, integrative medicine, body-identical hormones, energy modalities, and stem cell therapies. She is the founder and CEO of the Human Optimization Project (HOP), a longevity-based subscription supplement company that stays on top of the science and constantly updates its ingredients for customers who can’t devote their lives to reading the latest research sourcing the best therapies.

(34:15) Exosomes - one of the signaling molecules of stem cells. i (41:37) Fat transfers are a great natural filler, but adding stem cells creates better results.  (44:50) How to stimulate stem cells naturally if you don’t have the budget for stem cell therapy.  (58:30) The overuse of supplements and HOP box.  (1:04:00) Rapamycin and ovarian rejuvenation using stem cells.  (1:10:38) Where to find more from Dr. Amy B Killen.   Key Takeaways:   1. Stem cells do two main things. They can replicate themselves and they can turn into other types of cells. Stem cells send out signals so that an injured area heals itself. When we age, we have fewer, less active stem cells. They aren’t able to signal repair as well, so recovery takes much longer. Stem cell therapy gives you back signaling molecules so that you’re able to heal yourself faster. Autologous stem cells are your own cells from fat tissue or bone marrow.  Allogeneic stem cells come from somewhere else - like birth tissue products (placenta/umbilical cord).  The environment affects the stem cells. The area where you put stem cells matters, and if your body is not healthy, is inflamed, or has uncontrolled blood sugar issues, the cells cannot work as well. For example: a smoker or poorly controlled diabetic won’t have the best results. Take the time to get in the best shape that you can before a costly procedure like stem cell therapy.  Exosomes are powerful signaling molecules that can be transported into cells to change the behavior of that cell. These small molecules can pass through the skin- they can be applied topically - and they can cross the blood brain barrier to decrease inflammation. They’re great for aesthetic purposes like hair restoration and skin rejuvenation. The FDA regulates the application - they can only be applied topically.  Bonus takeaway:  No drug can do what hormones do when used properly at the right time in the right way. If you want to be healthy for longer, especially after menopause, you need to be looking into HRT.

Maybe you’ve heard of the bioregulator Pinealon and its effects on anti-aging. Today, we’re taking a deep dive into the research!    In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, my producer Chelsea Morrow and I take on the bioregulator - Pinealon - Q&A style.    We discuss the different versions of Pinealon, what the current research says about it, as well as the many benefits the research is showing. Whether you’re an athlete who wants to support your immune system, or you’re someone who wants to slow cognitive decline, Pinealon is shown to be a powerful supplement that can be incorporated alongside other conventional methods.    Overall, this episode offers information on navigating the bioregulator supplement, what the current studies are saying for healthy and unhealthy participants, and how to find a good source that you can trust.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Visit pendulumlife.com/nathalie for 20% off the first month of any Pendulum product membership   Discounts for Bioregulators:  Profound Health : Use Code: Longevity15 (on first order) or Longevity15-NMRX (for Nemorex) at http://www.profound-health.com/?Aff=Longevity15 Cosmic Nootropic: Use Code: Longevity at https://cosmicnootropic.com/ Peptide Sciences: Use Code: OSP10 at https://www.peptidesciences.com/pinealon-20mg   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What I Discuss:  (2:00) Misconceptions of Pinealon & its names (6:40) How Pinealon works in the brain (11:00) When to use the synthetic vs biological version (13:18) The research around the benefits (24:00) How to incorporate Pinealon for anti-aging  (29:00) Pinealon & the circadian rhythm  (32:00) The best way to supplement  (34:00) Where to find bioregulators    Key Takeaways: Pinealon is the name for the synthetic version, and Cortexin is the trademark name for the biological extract. Either version can work, but the synthetic version seems to give a faster effect in studies. It can be more targeted and concentrated. Many studies start with the synthetic and then continue with the biological extract. Cortexin is an intermuscular injection and it can be very hard to get outside of Russia. In this case, the synthetic version - Pinealon - is just fine to take as a supplement. However, this bioregulator is often combined with conventional treatment for the most effect.  Pinealon is neuroprotective. It seems to be able to protect brain cells from hypoxia (like in a stroke). Beneficial effects for memory and boost learning. It can also affect mood. It can protect brain cells from cell death.  This is not a supplement that needs to be taken all the time. If you’re a person with a healthy diet, healthy sleep, and you’ve got no real issues going on, intermittently having Pinealon can help increase longevity. For younger people around the ages of 35-40, it’s beneficial to supplement for one month out of the year. For older people, around 50, you may need 2 months of supplementation out of the year. It’s very individual to the person and their health status.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Rob Whitefield, we discuss the importance of reducing inflammation prior to breast implant surgery to decrease the potential of breast implant illness. Dr. Rob Whitefield’s holistic recovery approach focuses on supplementation and lifestyle changes prior to, during, and after surgery.    We also dive into fat transfers and the best way to have long-term success with augmentation surgery. It’s important to know the signs of breast implant illness and all of the symptoms it can cause.    Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating the effects of breast implant illness, and how to know if your body is struggling with the symptoms and high inflammation. Dr. Whitefield gives expert advice on talking frankly with your surgeon and the importance of supplementation for proper recovery.    Dr. Rob Whitefield is a board-certified plastic surgeon with almost 1000 breast explant surgeries under his belt.

A holistic approach is essential.  (38:00) The use of peptides to help with recovery.   (42:00) Dr. Whitefield's approach to facial rejuvenation for natural results.  (51:48) Thank you to Dr. Whitefield and where to find more information. Make sure to order his coming book!    Key Takeaways:   Breast implant illness presents atypical systems, causing some women to be gaslit by their doctors. A review of all bodily systems must be done to diagnose true breast implant illness. It’s not understood by a wide range of medical professionals, so being in tune with your symptoms is important. The most consistent symptoms are neurological like brain fog and memory loss. Difficulty swallowing, racing heart, constipation, bloating, shocking pains in extremities, and nerve tingling are also major symptoms.  Fat is the original filler and works well for transfers. It’s a dynamic tissue because it brings your body’s own stem cells with it. Holistic acceleration recovery can help with reducing inflammation and detoxing the body so that fat transfers are successful without causing implant illness. Recovering with procedures like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and lymphatic massages can highly decrease inflammation and risk of illness.  About 30% of implants (since 2019) will be an issue for people, depending on genetics, harsh sickness, or in-surgery bacteria. It’s important to have a baseline established with your surgeon so that you can tell quickly if you are suffering from breast implant illness. The baseline also helps you and your doctor reduce potential inflammation.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Stephanie Estima, we discuss the importance of heading into menopause in the healthiest way possible. Muscle is often thought of as a negative thing for women as we were taught not to get bulky. However, it’s a myth that needs to be totally left behind. It’s very hard for women to build muscle and get bulky. But muscle is essential for hormonal balance and longevity.    We also dive into the science behind balanced hormones, and what steps you can take to make sure you’re heading into menopause as a confident powerful woman, rather than take it on as if it’s a disease. Menopause needs to be thought of as an evolution of your body, not a nightmare situation. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is essential for some women, and we guide you through how to talk with your doctor to get the best treatment possible.    Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating hormone health, talking to your doctor about what you specifically need, and how to use menopause as a growth opportunity, not a season of anxiety and hardship.     Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses all facets of health including nutrition, fitness, hormones, stress management, performance, recovery, longevity, health span, mental resilience, and energy production. Her passion is to assist you in making informed decisions about your health and to catapult you into the hero of your own life.   Dr. Stephanie has a special interest in exercise physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, and performance nutrition. She spent 19 years in private practice and is a best-selling author, international speaker, and mother.

(17:45) Hormonal changes can affect your ability to build lean muscle.  (22:43) The turnover rate of bone as we age changes under the influence of estrogen.  (26:30) You don’t want too much estrogen- it can negatively affect ligaments and joints. You just want it balanced with testosterone. This is why joint issues are common in post-menopausal women. It increases the risk of injury.  (29:00) The importance of strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health for aging women. (30:00) Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great solution.  (36:00) Be so in tune with your body that you can tell when something is off, and be able to have data-filled conversations with your doctor. If you can’t talk with your doctor about hormones, get a new doctor.  (40:10) Cognitive health - our ability to think clearly - and lack of sleep is affected by decreasing levels of hormones like progesterone.  (46:00) Stress management and its role in adrenal gland health. Nutrition and supplements can feed the brain! Your body is very clear about this - if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.  (53:44) The lack of literature on common “health practices” today for women, like cold plunges and sauna. It needs to be synced with the time in your cycle.  (1:03:33) Minimum effective dose of exercise - strength training and cardio.  (1:11:25) How to find more from Dr. Stephanie Estima   Key Takeaways: Reframing the importance of lean muscle for women is essential for hormone health. Women in their 40s and 50s have grown up with the thin supermodel being ideal. The environment you grew up in can highly affect your perception of hitting the gym and building muscle. However, for the vast majority of women, it is very hard to build muscle and get “bulky.” The bulky myth and fear of lifting heavy just need to go away and die because it’s very inaccurate for women.  You can build muscle at any age, at any stage in life - peri, menopausal, and post-menopause. However, it is much easier to build muscle when you have a larger concentration of estrogen and testosterone (peri-menopausal). Women have somewhere between 10-20x more testosterone than estrogen. It’s the most abundant sex hormone in the body. Lifting weights close to failure drives up testosterone for 10-48 hours post-workout. When you stimulate the muscular system, you also stimulate bone density. Muscles and bones are sisters! They grow at the same time. Osteoporosis is common in older women going through menopause, so growing muscle and bone density pre-menopause is essential.  Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a fantastic option for those who aren’t heading into menopause with the correct amount of muscle and balanced hormones. Lifestyle interventions will help 60-70% of women who experience menopause symptoms like hot flashes and mood swings. The 30-40% of women who don’t get relief from these symptoms can highly benefit from HRT. It’s important to do bloodwork around age 30 so that you have a baseline hormone level you know you need to maintain. It’s best to keep track of it twice a year. Be so in tune with your body that you can tell when something is off, and be able to have data-filled conversations with your doctor. If you can’t talk with your doctor about hormones, get a new doctor.  You can be a powerful, clear-thinking, confident woman by keeping your hormones, specifically testosterone, balanced (and high!). It affects our ability to read the room, analyze risk, and make decisions throughout menopause if we don’t focus on hormone health. It can cause anxiety and brain fog. Stress management is also highly important during this time. Adrenals take over the job of what the ovaries once did, so they have to produce all hormones after menopause. Stress management helps negate the negative side effects of an overactive adrenal gland.  The minimum effective dose of exercise is 3 times a week of strength training. Three is good, but four is better. But cardiovascular health for menopausal women is very important as well, as heart disease is the number one killer of women, not breast cancer. Women are very well adapted for zone 2 oxidative phosphorylation for burning fat. More focus needs to be put on explosive movements like burpees, HITT, and sprints because we lose speed and type 2 muscle fiber. We can lose up to 8% per year if we’re not training type 2 muscle fibers. Explosive training also helps build muscle, rather than deteriorate muscle like steady state cardio does.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I discuss the medicinal mushroom - Lion’s Mane and 10 different benefits that have come from supplementing it. I love Lion’s Mane for its well-known cognitive benefits, but studies are showing many other improvements in areas like nerve damage, depression, moods, and inflammation.   I also dive into how to use it and why the sourcing of Lion’s Mane matters based on the benefits you want from it. The current studies are showing that dosing matters, as well as how the compound is extracted from the mushroom.    Overall, this episode offers information on navigating the mushroom supplement, what current studies are saying for healthy participants, and how I like to incorporate it into my day.  Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Pendulum Life: Visit pendulumlife.com/nathalie for 20% off their first month of any Pendulum product membership Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What I Discuss:  (0:25) The medicinal mushroom - Lion’s Mane.  (1:53) Neuroprotective and Antioxidant properties - It increases the release of nerve growth factor.  (4:15) Choosing the right supplement- the quality of the mushrooms matters.  (6:20) 10 Different Benefits of Lion’s Mane Mushrooms (18:57) How to use it.  (22:10) BSP community   Key Takeaways: Lion’s Mane is a mushroom resembling a head of cauliflower. Studies have shown that it reduces cell death, and is active in the hippocampus (important for memory and learning) which improves cognitive function, positively affects mood, and reduces anxiety.   There is abundant evidence that it is a powerful tool in your longevity arsenal, but it matters where you source it from. The quality of the mushrooms, the knowledge of the person who is making the supplements, and the process in which it is extracted can affect the supplement's efficacy. Compounds can be extracted from the fruiting body or the mycelia for different purposes. If it’s extracted from the mycelia, the medium in which the mushroom is grown in matters.  Human and mice studies all show positive effects in diseased and healthy participants. The dosing matters, as well as which compound is used. Overall though, benefits outside of cognitive function include protection against stomach ulcers, positive influence on heart health, managing diabetic symptoms, inhibiting the spread of cancer cells, lowering inflammation markers, and improving immune function.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Amitay Eshel, we discuss the importance of slowing down aging in a healthy way. We dive into how you can damage skin with many of today’s popular skin procedures and how to navigate through it effectively to avoid causing more long-term trauma to your skin. Specifically, we talk about how to reset your skin cells functionally by using compounds that recycle and reset energy in your skin (Hint: Spermidine in skincare!)   We also dive into the damage cosmetic procedures can do to the perception of beauty and what is currently aesthetically pleasing. With a variety of mechanical and chemical procedures, it’s important to know what the long-term effects can be, as well as, how to know which procedure is best for you and your aging goals.    Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating the skin health and beauty industry, so that you’re knowledgeable when choosing what’s best for you.    Amitay Eshel is a seasoned biohacking and beauty entrepreneur. With over a decade of experience in health, wellness, and beauty leadership, he co-founded Young Goose and its popular Biohacking Beauty podcast, making waves through education and innovation. Young Goose has developed a product line of biohacking treatments to aid in anti-aging and skin repair.

(9:30) Procedures are assaults on the body and can tax the endocrine system and gut health. (12:58) The long-term cost of lasers, IPLs, and peels. (14:00) The mechanical and chemical risks of penetration procedures.  (21:46) Radio frequency and the wrong kind of microneedling create structural changes that are irreversible.  (25:05) When we completely penetrate the skin barrier, it can’t do it’s job (it creates leaky skin).  (46:35) How to properly prepare your skin for an asthetic procedure so that you recover well.  (50:19) The molecule spermadine and it’s ability to reverse aging at a cellular level.  (55:05) New topical applications of compounds that can reverse the 12 signs of aging. (1:08:50) New Young Goose serums that penetrate deeply into the skin for maximum results. (1:18:00) Where to find Young Goose products and more.    Key Takeaways:   Major cosmetic procedures can cause significant body dysmorphia. It shifts what is aesthetically pleasing so that the patient is never truly pleased or done changing. The idea that you can get plastic surgery simply for aesthetic reasons started in the 80s with two surgeons who were also artists. This episode discusses our human differences and the fact that you cannot make broad changes without disrupting true beauty. Major cosmetic changes can affect your endocrine system, gut health, and more - they’re assaults on the body.  The cost of peels and penetration of the skin is higher than you might think. The risks are mechanical or chemical. We dive into the reasons to avoid mechanical risks at all costs. Radio frequency treatments cause inflammation which shows up as short-term progress as plump skin. But long term, you’re just creating more scar tissue. It causes functional changes and damage that sticks around. Microneedling is a great procedure if you are getting “stamped” not “rolled.” Before getting any type of procedure, make sure to have the correct recovery pathway, like having sunblock at home to help protect the skin barrier.  Spermadine (a polyamine) can affect all 12+ hallmarks of aging. Spermidine is a magical molecule that mimics a signal for recycling and reinvesting of energy for repair and resilience.  It’s an incredible reset button we can push. A topical compound that includes spermidine works to make your skin functionally younger (even if it’s not biologically younger).

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Jessica Kane Berman, we dive into the importance of phospholipids for cellular function and longevity. We’ll address misconceptions about phospholipids and explain their foundational role in biohacking and health optimization.   We also dive into the often-ignored impact of environmental toxins, such as mold, on health and how to heal on a cellular level, the importance of building resilience through diet and supplementation to combat the effects of toxins and support a robust immune system, how the right balance of fatty acids and phospholipids can significantly improve skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne, and bring clarity to the confusion around dietary fats and oils - and which are best for cellular health.    Overall, this episode offers guidance on supplementation and dietary changes necessary for enhancing cellular function and overall health.   Jessica Kane Berman is the Chief Marketing Officer of Body Bio - one of my personal favorite supplement companies. Body Bio is a supplement company that focuses on optimizing at the cellular level – They believe there is no way to heal the complex diseases of today without addressing the fats and oils of the membrane. The membrane carries the signals in our body, without a healthy membrane, signaling will cease to exist.   Thank you to our sponsors:    Carol Bike: Visit carolbike.com and use promo code NAT for $100 off.   BiOptimizers: For Sleep Breakthrough use code BIONAT10 at checkout to save 10% at sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat   Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com   Find more from Body Bio:    Visit BodyBio.com today and get 15% on your first order when you use code Nathalie   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Key Takeaways:   Phospholipids, especially phosphatidylcholine, are crucial for cellular health: The podcast highlights the importance of phospholipids in maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, which are responsible for various cellular functions. A stable and healthy cell membrane is essential for longevity and well-being. Phospholipids are often overlooked but are foundational to health, and supplementation can be particularly important as we age due to a natural decrease in our body's ability to synthesize these nutrients. Environmental toxins pose silent threats to health: The episode discusses the pervasive impact of environmental toxins, like mold, on health. These toxins can be present and harmful even when there are no immediate symptoms, making proactive health strategies and toxin avoidance crucial. Building resilience through diet and specific supplements can help mitigate the effects of these toxins and support the body's natural detoxification processes.  Nutritional choices profoundly affect skin health: The power of fatty acids and phospholipids in transforming skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne is emphasized. The right balance of nutrients, whether ingested or applied topically, can nourish the skin and promote healing. This underlines the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the impact of nutrition on areas beyond what might be expected.

Did you know that stress may be causing lymphatic congestion? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we chat with Desiree De Spong about how scars, often mere afterthoughts, can profoundly influence our physical and emotional well-being. Desiree illuminates the importance of the lymphatic system, not just as an aspect of our immune defense but as a pillar of overall health, and shares transformative approaches to therapy that include the use of innovative tools like a vibrating ball for perineal rehabilitation. Desiree sheds light on the lymph system's role, functioning without a central pump and instead relying on muscle movement and breath—elements within our control. She explains the connection between stress and lymphatic congestion, and how embracing calm through technology can offer not just a respite for the mind but also bolster immune function. Desiree De Spong, a visionary leader and the Founder and CEO of Medella Health in New Zealand, stands at the forefront of lymphatic therapy with nearly two decades of unwavering clinical expertise. A true luminary in her field, Desiree is not only a seasoned practitioner but an international educator who passionately imparts her profound knowledge through sought-after courses in Lymph Node Release Therapy.

Lymph nodes are the immune system's powerhouses, hosting B cells and T cells essential for fighting infections and other foreign bodies. Thus, the importance of detoxification and how a compromised lymphatic system can lead to a buildup of waste, potentially causing health issues and a weakened immune response.  It is difficult to achieve a state of calm due to the autonomic nature of the nervous system and the cumulative effect of stress. However, there are various technologies and substances, from wearable devices to psilocybin and CBD, that may be utilized to hack the nervous system and promote vagal nerve tone, signaling safety to the brain and encouraging a parasympathetic state.  Given that we don’t have a central pump, muscle movement, breathing, and relaxation are all important for promoting lymph flow. If we fail to do so, due to the relationship between the parasympathetic nervous system and lymphatic function, we can inhibit drainage.

Could the secret to a longer, healthier life be hidden in simple foods like shiitake mushrooms and wheat germ?   In this solo episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we compare synthetic and food-derived spermidine, discussing the potential health implications of each. I share insights into how spermidine supports cellular renewal and DNA repair, and why centenarians with higher levels of this compound might just be onto something.    From the impact on mitochondrial biogenesis in aging heart muscle cells to the protection and stimulation of DNA repair, the benefits of spermidine are as promising as they are diverse.

Would you apply secretion from a frog’s skin on your own skin if it improved your mental health? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we're joined by Caitlin Thompson as she shares her personal transition to Kambo practitioner, revealing a profound chapter in her life where the battle with chronic illness steered her toward the unexpected healing powers of this traditional ritual. Her tale is one of resilience, bridging the gap between rigorous scientific analysis and the depths of spiritual practice. Caitlin helps us to understand the nuances of a Kambo ceremony, from its rigorous participant screening to its diverse after-effects. With a neurobiologist's precision and a healer's intuition, she illustrates the importance of respecting the body's response to the frog secretion and the profound emotional release it can catalyze. Her insights into the symbiotic relationship between Kambo, ayahuasca, and other plant medicines reveal a broader, integrative approach to emotional healing and chronic conditions. Finally, Caitlin sheds light on the exciting research surrounding Kambo's potential in mental health and chronic pain management.  Caitlin’s background is in neurobiology, with emphasis in mood disorders and autoimmune conditions. In pursuit of her own health, Caitlin has studied nutritional neuroscience and helps people conquer their chronic health struggles, autoimmune and psychiatric conditions through diet, nutraceuticals and other healing modalities (such as Kambo).  Caitlin is also an independent scientific researcher and is currently conducting the first human kambo research in the field. Her past research has focused on psychedelic treatments for autoimmune conditions. https://kambospecialist.comhttps://medicinefrogkambo.com https://kambofinder.com Caitlin also offers practitioner training courses - if you mention this podcast, you will save $100.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Carol Bike: Visit carolbike.com and use promo code NAT for $100 off.                                                                 BodyBio: Visit BodyBio.com today and get 15% on your first order with code Nathalie                                                                 Neurohacker Collective: Visit neurohacker.com/nathalie and use code NATHALIE                                                                   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Caitlin: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicinefrogkambo/  Website: https://medicinefrogkambo.com/    What we discuss:   (00:02) - Exploring the Benefits of Kambo Therapy (10:07) - Indigenous Use and Ceremonial Adaptations (16:55) - Effects of Kambo and Ayahuasca (27:33) - Ayahuasca and Kambo Therapy Benefits (38:20) - Kambo for Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain (47:32) - Choose Safe, Reliable Kambo Practitioner (57:41) - Researching Medicine Frog for Knowledge Key takeaways:   Kambo is a traditional Amazonian healing ritual that involves the use of the secretion from the skin of the giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor). The frog's secretion contains a potent combination of bioactive peptides, including dermorphin and deltorphin, which have powerful physiological effects. The ceremony typically involves a trained practitioner applying small burns or superficial wounds to the skin and then applying the kambo secretion to these points. The peptides in the secretion are believed to enter the bloodstream and induce various effects on the body. The benefits of Kambo therapy include detoxification, increased energy, improved mood, and enhanced physical and mental well-being. It also has spiritual and emotional cleansing properties. It is important to select a well-trained and knowledgeable Kambo practitioner due to the powerful nature of the therapy. The individuality of each participant's experience and the importance of respecting their unique physiological and emotional responses during and after the therapy are important factors to consider. All in all, healing through Kambo is not a one-size-fits-all process but rather should be tailored to each individual's needs and circumstances.

If there is one thing that humanity has been striving for since its inception, is the pursuit of longevity. Today I’m with Chris Mirabile, Founder & CEO of NOVOS Labs who brings us one step closer to cracking the code of aging and longevity and offers fascinating insight into the intersection of health, performance, and longevity. We discuss how short-term health strategies may not always contribute positively to longevity, and the nine hallmarks of aging that NOVOS Labs aims to address. These include loss of proteostasis, DNA damage, attrition of telomeres, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, altered cellular communication, dysregulated nutrient sensing, epigenetic alterations, and telomere shortening.    Chris’s interest in health began when he was 12 and evolved into a passion after he was cured of a brain tumor when he was 16. Chris has researched and integrated longevity practices and interventions into his life for more than ten years, has achieved a biological age 13.6 years younger than his chronological age, and according to epigenetic tests like DunedInPACE, is aging 31% slower biologically than chronologically. As we dive deeper into the realm of aging and anti-aging strategies, we bring ourselves one step closer to a future where longevity is not just a dream, but a reality.   Chris Mirabile graduated from NYU Stern School of Business and later won their business plan competition with his startup company, Hotlist, a location-based social network that scaled to 220 million people’s social plans. Chris has launched multiple successful technology ventures and has advised biotech startups and NYU Langone Hospital.    Vist novoslabs.com and use code NAT5 to save.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: BiOptimizers: Use code bionat10 at magbreakthrough.com/bionat  LMNT: Visit DrinkLMNT.com/NAT - no code needed Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% off at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition.

However, current senolytics can pose risks due to potential toxicity and lack of precision in targeting the right cells. While strategies such as severe caloric restriction or prolonged fasting can contribute to longevity, they may also have detrimental effects on short-term health and performance. It's crucial to strike a balance and consider the long-term implications of these health strategies. The ideal time to start implementing longevity strategies, like Novos, is around late 20s to early 30s.

What happens to your gut health when you take antibiotics?   In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we chat with Colleen Cutcliffe of Pendulum Life about the effects of our gut microbiome on our mental health, metabolism, energy levels, and learn to pinpoint signs of compromised gut health.   Colleen dissects the nuances of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics, and how these elements interact in our gut. Additionally, we examine the often-underestimated impact of antibiotics on our microbiome and how it can be combated with effective strategies.   Lastly, we shift our focus to a specific strain of bacteria, known as akkermansia, and explore their role in food metabolism and mood regulation. In the same vein, we contemplate on the potential risks of long-term drug use including GLP-1, and delve into the impact of metformin on gut health.    Colleen Cutcliffe is the CEO and Co-Founder of Pendulum Therapeutics.

However, there isn’t a particular diet that will make or break your gut health nor can you eat a nutrient-poor diet and expect probiotic supplements to keep your gut microbiome in good shape. Simply aiming to eat a balanced, nutrient rich diet is the way to go. While antibiotics have a negative impact on your gut health, it does come with a plus side. Given that antibiotics eliminate all bacteria – good and bad – the timeframe following an antibiotic treatment is a great time to focus on fixing your diet so you can repopulate your gut microbiome with the appropriate strains. While many of us blame our poor willpower for our cravings, it’s usually our gut microbiome that is to blame. Luckily, there are specific strains one can supplement to help increase GLP-1 and GABA production to stimulate satiety and reduce anxiety, which helps reduce cravings overall.

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing menopausal symptoms through diet, there are certain foods and/ or ingredients that may exacerbate these symptoms for some women and should be avoided.  Sleep disruptions are a common symptom experienced by many women during menopause. Three factors which contribute to these sleep disturbances include hormonal changes, hot flashes and night sweats, stress and lifestyle factors, and having to go to the bathroom more often. Weight-lifting is crucial in this stage of life. Women  are at risk of losing muscle mass and strength due to hormonal changes. Resistance training helps counteract muscle loss, which can lead to improved functional capacity and overall physical well-being.

Think you can’t lose weight without GLP1 agonists?   Think again. In this solo episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we bypass common drugs like GLP1 agonists, including OZMPIC, and discuss safer and effective alternatives. You will get insights into muscle loss mitigation during dramatic weight loss, and discover other innovative fat loss strategies that steer clear of the potential risks associated with miracle weight loss drugs.   We also talk about microbiome and weight loss probiotics, with a focus on Akkermansia, a bacterial strain associated with lean individuals. I share my experience with DNF-10, a peptide that is known to significantly lower ghrelin secretion before meals, and contributes to maintaining the release of leptin from adipocytes.    Lastly, we discuss the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, as Akkermansia and DNF-10 may be a piece of the puzzle, but they are not a magic solution for weight loss.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Apollo: Go to apolloneuro.com/nat and use code NAT50 to save $50 Restoracell: Use code NAT25 at www.vitaliskincare.com Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   What we discuss:   (00:09) - Alternative Approaches to Weight Loss (09:20) - Effective Eating Plans and Innovative Products (14:31) - Weight Loss and Fat Burning Formulas (21:52) - Microbiome and Weight Loss Probiotics

Thus, finding the cause of this inflammation in the body is the first step to healing. Afterwards, turning to regenerative medicine is key for undoing the damage caused by the inflammation. Excessive nitric oxide production, often in response to inflammation, can lead to oxidative stress and damage to brain cells. This oxidative stress is believed to contribute to the development of depression and other mood disorders. Research has demonstrated that B cells play a role in tissue repair and remodeling by secreting factors that influence inflammation, fibrosis, and regeneration. Thus, if you are experiencing inflammation in the lungs, addressing the inflammation that is happening in the first place and then using B cell therapy to regenerate the lung tissue may be your best bet for healing.

Ever heard of REHIT fitness?   In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, our guest Ulrich Dempfle shares his quest to replicate this high-intensity, short-duration workout technique that requires a mere 24 minutes of your week. Ulrich shares about the nuanced science behind REHIT and the challenges he faced in finding the right equipment.   As we navigate the world of REHIT, Ulrich reveals the surprising benefits of this workout routine. From increasing your VO2 max by 12% - which is comparable to a two-year boost in healthy life expectancy - to a whopping 62% reduction in your METZ score, a risk factor for metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes. We get into the nuts and bolts of REHIT, discussing how it's less mentally draining than traditional workouts, accommodates your current fitness level, and is ideal for those dealing with cortisol and adrenal fatigue.   Ulrich Dempfle is the CEO and co-founder of the Carol Bike, a game-changing exercise equipment that offers efficient workouts in just a few minutes.

It’s scientifically proven to deliver superior health and fitness benefits compared to normal exercise—in 90% less time. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 Max) is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense physical activity. It is often used as an indicator of a person's cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. Studies demonstrate that only a 12% improvement in VO2 Max is equivalent to a 2 year increase in life expectancy. Given that we lose about 10% of VO2 Max per decade as we age, this is an immense improvement. Sprints are more beneficial than traditional workouts. When you push your limits during sprints, your muscles are forced to mobilize about 25-30% of muscular glycogen—your emergency energy reserve—releasing key signalling molecules (AMPK and PGC-1a), telling your body it must get fitter and stronger. As a result, you develop more mitochondria, your blood plasma volume increases, and your heart gets stronger. The end result is an increased aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

Why is GABA, a neurotransmitter that's vital for regulating our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences, often overlooked in the world of neuroscience?    In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman podcast, I ponder this question with Dr. Scott Sherr, a repeat guest, who unravels the mystery surrounding GABA’s key role in our mental well-being. We venture into the complex labyrinth of the GABA system, elucidating its significance in controlling the firing of neurons, its connection to a leaky blood-brain barrier, and the implications for those of us entrenched in the hustle and bustle of life.   Dr. Sherr and I also put under the microscope the intriguing world of supplements and drugs. We peel back the layers on how they interact with the GABA system and the potential mental health risks they harbor. From the influences of alcohol, Xanax, barbiturates, and sleep drugs on the GABA system to natural alternatives, we left no stone unturned. Moreover, if you're on SSRIs, you might find our explorations on supporting the GABA system and rebalancing emotions, thoughts, and feelings very enlightening.   In the concluding part of our conversation, we touch upon the intriguing effects of nicotinol GABA, THC, and CBD. We assess the potential benefits of Trozzy, an innovative sleep aid supplement. As the saying goes, 'Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.' Therefore, we also shed light on the importance of good sleep habits and natural ways to enhance the GABA system.

While GABA is all over the brain, they're also in a place that are called interneurons. Interneurons are these waystations between neurons that help regulate the processing of information, both downwards and upwards. This is extremely important for how we regulate our emotions, how we regulate our feelings, how we regulate our interactions with other people, and then how we process our thoughts, how we process our experiences, both in the now and also in the past and the future. We may not realize it, but a lot of us are actually GABA deficient. GABA deficiency is a big deal because it's associated with depression, anxiety, and compulsive disorder. It's potentially contributing to things like schizophrenia, mental illness, and alcoholism.  We know that SSRIs work on some level to help with mood regulation. However, they do not work right away. It requires anywhere from four to eight weeks for the antidepressant effects to kick in.  On the other hand, GABA compounds work right away and elevates your mood.

It's a systemic issue that's expressing itself through the skin.   The best time to use red light therapy is whenever you can. In order to fully benefit from it, you need to use it consistently.  There is a difference between red light and infrared light. Red light only goes a bit beyond skin deep and that's because it's absorbed mainly by the blood. Once it hits that capillary bed under the skin, that's about as far as it goes. Now there's always systemic effects, because we get all the benefits of increased ATP, and that information gets delivered to deeper parts of the body. However, infrared light goes significantly deeper than red.

What can be done to treat chronic illnesses?   That's just what we do in our riveting discussion with Dr. Chris Turnpaugh in this week’s episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast.    We venture into the tricky terrains of Lyme Disease and MCAS, highlighting the controversies surrounding their testing. You'll hear a compelling anecdote about a patient who had a startling reaction to gluten while battling Lyme disease. This story leads us into a discussion of immune responses, specifically post-traumatic immune responses. We weave together the intriguing connection between long COVID and long Lyme, even exploring the potential impact of the notorious spike protein.    Our conversation takes a turn toward hidden health risks and the pressing need for early detection. We also discuss the potent combination of peptides and estrogen in its formula and how it can enhance endurance and muscle strength.    Dr. Chris Turnpaugh is the owner and President of Turnpaugh Health, a company with over 65 employees and 5 locations. Dr. Turnpaugh is a skilled practitioner whose primary focus is on finding and addressing the root cause of disease.

This is not the same thing as being reinfected, thus would require a different approach for treatment. This reaction is the reason why some people believe they can never be cured from Lyme disease. Spike proteins are a type of protein found on the surface of certain viruses, most notably SARS-CoV-2. These proteins play a critical role in the virus's ability to infect host cells and is important in vaccines. When the immune system encounters this spike protein, it generates an immune response, including the production of antibodies. The impact of this immune response takes a bigger toll on the body than pharmaceutical companies make it seem. BPC and PTA are a powerful peptide combination. Studies demonstrate it to be extremely effective in reducing pain and accelerating tissue repair.

Can you imagine unlocking the secret to longevity through a powerful compound discovered on a remote island?    In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Podcast, we chat with Dr. Ross Pelton, a renowned scientist and author, about rapamycin, a compound with untold potential for revolutionizing health and extending life. Together, we trace rapamycin’s fascinating history from its origins on Easter Island to its current potential as an awe-inspiring life-extending compound, delving into its dual mechanisms - mTOR and autophagy - for a fresh outlook on cellular metabolism and the aging process.   The intricate balance between mTOR and autophagy plays a pivotal role in achieving healthy longevity - a balance that our ancestors maintained effortlessly due to their lifestyle but has been upset by our modern way of living. With Dr. Pelton, we'll explore how to restore this equilibrium through intermittent fasting, exercise, a healthy diet, and of course, rapamycin. We also discuss the importance of dosing, frequency of use, and the intriguing concept of "rectangularization of the aging curve."    Ross Pelton is a pharmacist, nutritionist, author and a health educator who is widely recognized as the world’s leading authority on drug-induced nutrient depletions. He was named one of the top 50 most influential pharmacists in the United States by American Druggist magazine for his work in Natural Medicine.   Visit  https://theantiaging.store/product/rapa-pro-rapamycin/ and use code longevity15 to save on your first order.  Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   BiOptimizers: Use code bionat10 at magbreakthrough.com/bionat  Paleovalley: Visit www.paleovalley.com/nathalie - no code needed Berkley Life: Use code NIDDBL at www.berkeleylife.com  Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Dr. Pelton:   Website: https://www.naturalpharmacist.net/  Book: https://www.amazon.ca/Rapamycin-mTOR-Autophagy-Treating-Syndrome/dp/1607660156  What we discuss:   (0:00:03) - About Rapamycin (0:13:03) - Balancing mTOR and Autophagy Importance (0:19:38) - Rapamycin, Fasting, and the Microbiome (0:32:32) - Rapamycin Dosage and Monitoring (0:40:46) - Benefits of Rapamycin for Aging (0:47:43) - Dietary Factors in Protein and Rappamycin (0:58:32) - Postbiotic Metabolites and Gut Health (1:08:22) - Plant-Based Diet and Probiotics for Microbiome (1:16:03) - Japanese Fermentation and Gut Microbiome Key takeaways: Rapamycin has the potential to be life-saving due to its two powerful mechanisms: mTOR and autophagy. It was discovered on Easter Island in 1966 and approved for kidney transplant patients in 1996 by the FDA. It has potential as a revolutionary new type of chemotherapy and can be used to better understand cellular metabolism and the aging process.  When it comes to achieving healthy longevity, balance between mTOR and autophagy is essential. Our ancestral humans achieved this naturally due to their lifestyle of eating once a day, spending four hours digesting their food, and sometimes going two or three days without nutrient intake. But today, food is available all the time, leading to an over-activation of mTOR and a lack of autophagy. To restore the balance, intermittent fasting, rapamycin, exercise, and eating healthy are advocated.  When it comes to rapamycin, it's important to remember that it won't override bad habits and it's not a miracle quick fix. To gain the full benefits, a reasonable diet, exercise, and sleep regularly are necessary.

Could you imagine a condition that affects virtually every organ, eludes the standard diagnostic criteria, and causes multi-system inflammation? Meet the perplexing world of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is an elusive condition that affects many, yet remains largely misunderstood. MCAS is a syndrome that triggers multi-system inflammation, and due to its diverse range of symptoms, it often eludes typical diagnostic processes. It has a profound impact on both the body and mind. Mast cells are integral to our innate immune system, playing a crucial role in safeguarding us against foreign invaders, allergens, and environmental toxins. However, potential triggers of mast cell hyperactivity can range from environmental toxins to mold.   Today I’m with Dr. Bruce Hoffman and we dissect this complex condition and delve into the critical role of mast cells in our immune system. Learn how mast cells, our body's fierce protectors against toxins, might turn hyperactive due to triggers like environmental toxins, heavy metals, or mold, launching a cell danger response that could send your body into a protective shutdown. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we explore the intersection of physical and mental health. Focusing on those battling MCAS and early developmental trauma, Dr. Hoffman shares invaluable self-regulation strategies and lends insight into the significance of neurofeedback and building a window of tolerance.    Dr. Hoffman is board-certified and has a fellowship in anti-aging medicine as well as a Master’s degree in clinical nutrition. He is also a certified functional medicine practitioner. In addition to his clinical training, Dr. Hoffman has studied with many of the leading mind-body and spiritual healers of our times, including Deepak Chopra, Paul Lowe, Osho, Ramesh Balsekar, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. He has shared the stage with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. John F. Demartini, and he continues to spread his inspiring vision of healing and wellness with audiences and patients around the world.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% your order at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.

This can result in a wide range of symptoms and can be difficult to diagnose. Potential triggers of this hyperactivity can include environmental toxins, mold, and certain foods. Physical and mental health are interconnected when it comes to MCAS. Individuals with this syndrome may have early developmental trauma which can exacerbate symptoms. Learning self-regulation techniques, such as neurofeedback, can be beneficial for managing stress and promoting balance in the body and mind. The treatment and management of MCAS is complex and often involves a combination of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, dietary adjustments, and the creation of a neutral environment. Continuous vigilance is necessary to avoid triggers and manage the condition effectively. It is crucial to build resilience against environmental toxins and to focus on overall well-being.

As a nutritionist, I’ve always been fascinated by food and the power of food to heal our bodies. Over the last couple of years, the rhetoric around diets has been heating up–from keto to paleo to vegan, vegetarian, and now even carnivore. Diets are just lifestyles, so what is best?   Today I’m exploring this hot topic and sharing tips for adopting a new lifestyle or thinking about a new lifestyle and then applying it. Do your homework before making a dramatic diet change. It's vital to collect data about your health and I discuss the importance of baseline tests and how to measure and monitor your progress when changing dietary lifestyles.    Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: https://www.NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 What we discuss: 11:14 - Discussion on Vegan and Carnivore Diets 20:17 - Baseline Testing for a Lifestyle Change 25:54 - Importance of Proper Guidance in Dietary Approaches 30:27 - Committing to Dietary Changes 35:58 - Optimal Diets and Lifestyle for Longevity   Key takeaways: There's not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to diet and nutrition. Dietary choices should be based on personal health status, lifestyle, and genetic makeup rather than blindly following popular trends or extreme diets. It’s important to test and collect data when making a diet change. It's advised to do blood work, assess micronutrient status, and examine the gut microbiome to get a clear picture of one's starting point. Monitoring body composition, such as getting a DEXA scan, is also suggested to measure progress. Long-term health and longevity are complex and cannot be solely attributed to a single dietary choice. Other lifestyle factors such as caloric restriction, periods of fasting, regular physical activity, and stress management are also crucial for promoting longevity.

Have you ever heard of heavy water?   In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, I chat with Victor Sagalovsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Litewater Scientific, about deuterium-depleted water. Deuterium is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen that has an extra neutron in its nucleus, making it twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen, thus where it got its name of heavy water. Studies suggest that reducing deuterium levels in the body can have positive effects on various biological processes, such as improved cellular function, enhanced energy production, increased support of the immune system, and potential anti-aging properties.    Victor also shares how much deuterium we should have in our bodies, how long it takes to see results from drinking deuterium-depleted water, and who is most likely to experience the biggest shift in their health from intaking heavy water.   Victor Sagalovsky is the co-founder and CEO of Litewater Scientific, the first and only super deuterium-depleted light water, where he has dedicated himself to the research, development, and production of this rare water. Victor has researched and studied the benefits of deuterium-depleted water through his theory entitled Endogenous Radiation Damage Theory of Aging. It proposes that our biggest obstacle to longevity is the excess deuterium and other damaging isotopes on the planet and proper mitigation will radically extend our lifespans.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Litewater : Use code NAT10 to save 10% at https://bit.ly/41BT7sR   Restoracell: Use code NAT25 at https://www.vitaliskincare.com/   Berkeley Life: Use code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com   LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/   Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20-Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Victor Sagalovsky:    Website: https://www.drinklitewater.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinklitewater/   What we discuss:   02:16: What is deuterium-depleted water? 05:56: How do carbs affect deuterium levels in the body? 10:55: Who discovered the effect of deuterium? 17:16: What are the kinetics of deuterium water? 20:34: How long does it take to see results? 24:44: How does hydrogen interact with deuterium?  31:25: How does structured water compare to deuterium water? 35:25: Is Litewater structured? 36:38: How much deuterium should we have in our bodies? 43:51: Who would experience the biggest shift when intaking deuterium-depleted water? 56:35: Where to learn more about Victor and Litewater?   Key takeaways:   Deuterium is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen that has an extra neutron in its nucleus, making it twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen, thus where it got its name of heavy water.    Deuterium-depleted water is considered to be a huge factor in why certain people get to live past 100 years old. Not only does it improve mitochondrial function, but it also helps reduced oxidative stress, enhance cellular repair, and regulate hormones that influence aging and lifespan.   Deuterium mainly affects mitochondrial function, which plays a crucial role in energy production by generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is because deuterium has a larger mass compared to hydrogen, which can influence the rates of enzymatic reactions occurring in the mitochondria. High levels of deuterium in the mitochondria can also disrupt the balance of cellular redox reactions and potentially impact mitochondrial function.

Ready to challenge the current beliefs about meat consumption? There are current narratives that have demonized meat, explicating the healing powers of grass-fed pasture-raised meats for both our bodies and the planet. Today we’re debunking myths and misconceptions about meat consumption and its environmental impact.   I’m joined by Autumn Smith, and we’re discussing the potential of regenerative farming techniques, compared to conventionally raised beef. We navigate through the arguments against beef consumption and Autumn sheds light on how regenerative farming could be scaled to meet the needs of a growing population. We also discuss the critical role of humane treatment of animals in our food choices and reflect on our obligation as omnivores to respect the natural cycle of life.   Autumn Smith is the co-founder of Wild Pastures and Paleovalley, a company dedicated to helping people get the essential nutrients they need without added sugars, grains, or other harmful ingredients. She holds a Master of Science in Holistic Nutrition and is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.

(0:48:10) - Nutrients in food (0:53:17) - Negatives of meat (0:57:41) - Beliefs and science of meat consumption (1:02:54) - Organ meats    Key Takeaways: Conventional meat production, which is largely based on factory farming, is not sustainable due to its environmental impacts. Regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, uses animals in a more sustainable way by working with nature rather than against it. This results in healthier soil, more nutrient-dense food, and the potential to sequester carbon. There is a common misconception that meat is a major cause of disease. However, the real dietary villains are sugar, carbohydrates, and processed foods. Animal products are our most nutrient-dense foods, but the quality and source of the meat you consume matters significantly. Grass-fed, pasture-raised meat has significant health benefits and is better for the environment than grain-fed, factory-farmed meat.  Traditional diets often incorporated organ meats, suggesting that they have long been recognized for their nutritional benefits. Consuming organ meats, such as heart, liver, kidney, and spleen, can be beneficial for their nutrient profile, which includes zinc, iron, B12, and vitamin A.

In recent years, there has been a significant change in how we approach and address diseases. Previously, the responsibility of maintaining good health largely relied on the healthcare system. However, this mindset has shifted, and individuals are now encouraged to play an active role in advocating for their own health. Understanding the biochemical processes that contribute to illnesses, such as Alzheimer's, has become crucial in managing and taking control of our personal health journey. By recognizing the intricate mechanisms that lead to diseases like Alzheimer's, we can make more informed decisions regarding our lifestyle choices, medical interventions, and preventative measures.    I’m joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, and we’re diving into the intricacies of Alzheimer's, its prevention, and even reversal possibilities. We cover the crucial role of the immune system in both Alzheimer's and COVID, and the fascinating connections between these diseases. Dr. Bredesen also discusses his lab's ground-breaking work to understand the neurodegenerative process, which has resulted in three books and thousands of people experiencing improvements in their conditions.   Dale E. Bredesen, M.D., is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's (Avery, 2017) and The End of Alzheimer's Program (Avery, 2020), as well as The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s (Avery, 2021). He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego, and directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA. Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% your order at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition.

These tests are comprehensive and not typically performed by most doctors. They examine various factors that contribute to cognitive decline, such as ongoing inflammation, toxin levels, and metabolism. Additionally, the tests also cover factors like sleep apnea, as reduced oxygenation during sleep can negatively impact brain health.  If an individual has zero copies of the APOE4 gene, their lifetime risk for developing Alzheimer's disease is approximately 9%. While this risk is not zero, it is not considered significantly high. On the other hand, individuals with a single copy of the APOE4 gene have a much higher lifetime risk of around 30% for developing Alzheimer's. Those with two copies of the gene have an even greater risk of about 70%, suggesting that a majority of them will likely develop Alzheimer's during their lifetime. There is an interesting phenomenon associated with receiving certain vaccines early in life, such as the BCG vaccine, which has been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. It appears that preparing the adaptive immune system at an early stage may be beneficial. On the contrary, when the innate immune system is modified later in life through late vaccinations, boosters, or exposure to substances like beta-glucans, it can potentially elevate the activity of the innate system again.

Can you imagine a world where you're not bound by the inevitability of aging? These days it seems as though there’s a never-ending pursuit of immortality, but it’s important to question the quality of life that extended lifespans might offer. The secret to a longer, happier life may not solely lie in age-reversing technologies and biohacking techniques, but rather in our experiences and connections with the world.   I’m joined by Dr. Christopher Shade, and we’re diving into the realm of biohacking, self-care, and the prospects of reversing and embracing aging. From nutrition and detoxification to stem cells and peptides, we discuss the plethora of tools at our disposal to reverse the aging process. We also cover the practical implications of integrating one's consciousness into a machine, and why self-care and taking responsibility for our emotional health is essential.    Dr. Christopher Shade, PhD, founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific®, specializes in the biological, environmental, and analytical chemistry of mercury in all its forms and their interactions with sulfur compounds, particularly glutathione and its enzyme system. Dr. Shade is regularly sought out to speak as an educator on the topics of mercury, environmental toxicities, neuroinflammation, immune dysregulation, and the human detoxification system in the United States and internationally. He has helped corporate executives, professional athletes, celebrities, children with autism, patients with chronic immune disorders and more. He strives to evolve the way the medical industry delivers care, and he is perpetually broadening the way the world understands health.

We don't necessarily have to get upset when someone says something negative to us, as our emotional reactions are our own responsibility. This also extends to taking 100% responsibility for our own personal growth and life journey, and being mindful of our words and actions towards others. Bile serves as the pathway for toxins to exit the liver and enter the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, stress, being in a sympathetic state, and estrogen dominance can block bile flow. This can lead to activation of glutamate receptors and hinder the prioritization of regenerative processes. It is easy to fall into an inflammatory state, inhibiting positive growth and contributing to weight gain. Toxins play a role in triggering and prolonging this inflammatory state, preventing us from entering a positive, regenerative state. There are a multitude of environmental toxins that we are exposed to, as well as our own biological waste, which can accumulate if our body's processes are not functioning properly.

Whether you’re a professional athlete or someone who just wants to maintain muscle mass as you get older, mitophagy is a process we should all be focusing on. Prioritizing strategies that enhance mitophagy and promote muscle health can significantly contribute to a healthier and longer life. But what exactly can we do to promote mitophagy? Luckily, my guest today is an expert in the science of mitochondrial activation, and he’s sharing insights on the supplement that you need in your longevity routine.   I’m joined by Dr. Anurag Singh, and we’re diving into the realm of mitochondrial activation and its impact on muscle performance and health. We also shed light on the role of immunity in a healthy, long life, focusing on how mitochondrial health can rev up our immune systems. Dr. Singh also shares his insights on how mitochondrial health can influence skin health and reverse sun damage, and the development of topical formulations that can improve mitochondrial health in the skin.   Dr. Anurag Singh is the Chief Medical Officer at Timeline Nutrition.    Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Timeline is offering 10% off your first order of Mitopure.

It both produces and consumes the most energy currency, ATP. This is because even small movements like getting up from a chair or climbing stairs require a significant amount of energy. Activating mitophagy, the process by which damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria are selectively removed, has been shown to have significant positive effects on muscle performance. By selectively eliminating these damaged components, it allows for the generation of new and healthy mitochondria, thus enhancing muscle function.  Maintaining a healthy immune system can directly impact our overall health and lifespan. Immune cells, just like muscle, brain, and heart cells, contain numerous mitochondria. These mitochondria play a crucial role in supporting the high energy demands of immune cells.

Did you know that hormones play a pivotal role in directing the course of your health throughout your lifetime? From physical growth and development to emotional well-being and reproductive health, these chemical messengers are vital for our overall well-being. Understanding how hormones function and seeking appropriate medical guidance can help us navigate through the various stages of life while maintaining hormonal balance.   Dr. Felice Gersh joins me as we take a closer look at the different types of estrogens, their individual impacts on the body, and the importance of understanding their nuances for overall health. We also discuss how reproduction is the prime directive of life and how hormones act as 'hormonal glue' to enable reproductive success. Plus, we dive into some of the benefits and complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), including when to start and the potential risks associated with it.   Dr. Felice Gersh is board-certified in both OB/GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and Medical Director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine. Always passionate about learning and education, she taught obstetrics and gynecology at Keck USC School of Medicine for 12 years as an Assistant Clinical Professor. Dr. Gersh now serves as an Affiliate Faculty Member at the Fellowship in Integrative Medicine, through the University of Arizona School of Medicine, where she lectures and regularly grades the case presentations written by the Fellowship students for their final exams. Dr. Gersh is a globally recognized expert on a wide range of female and integrative health topics.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Restoracell: Use code NAT25 at https://www.vitaliskincare.com/ Troscriptions: Use code NAT10 at https://troscriptions.com/ LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/ Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Dr. Felice Gersh: Website: https://integrativemgi.com/ Instagram: @dr.felicegersh    What we discuss: (0:00:03) - The importance of women's hormones (0:16:18) - Understanding the different types of estrogens (0:20:05) - The effects of hormone therapy (0:27:25) - Exploring hormone replacement and natural alternatives (0:34:47) - The benefits of cyclical hormone therapy (0:45:23) - Benefits of vaginal estrogen and hormone replacement therapy (0:53:58) - The complexities of hormone replacement therapy (1:06:24) - Testing hormones for women   Key Takeaways: Osteoporosis is a condition where bone loss occurs gradually over time. However, in the first few years after menopause, there is a significant acceleration of bone loss. If individuals have not proactively taken measures to mitigate this rapid loss, their condition could worsen. This pattern can be applied to other organ systems as well, where starting the menopausal transition in a good state overall leads to better outcomes. It is essential to understand that the testosterone produced by the ovaries plays a crucial role in promoting overall health and well-being in women. The ovaries have the ability to produce testosterone indefinitely in a different part of the ovary, even after the eggs are depleted. This explains why removing the ovaries, even in post-menopausal years when they are no longer producing estrogen or progesterone, can negatively impact a woman's health and increase mortality.  The prime directive of life is reproduction, and humans are the only species on the planet that actively work towards controlling their reproductive fate. Unlike animals in the wild, humans have the capability to make deliberate decisions about when to have children. Setting aside the aspect of choice, it is crucial to understand that the female body is inherently optimized and designed for fertility and reproduction.

Imagine a world where you could restore balance to your body, combat chronic diseases, and improve health trajectories through a deep understanding of your microbiome. That's exactly what we're exploring today with businesswoman-turned-research-scientist Martha Carlin, who embarked on this incredible journey after her husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's at a young age. Her captivating research has led to groundbreaking connections between the microbiome and the onset of chronic diseases such as Parkinson's, and she believes that restoring the microbiome could make a substantial difference in our overall health.   We're diving into the complex world of microbial peptides, toxins, and pathogens, particularly their influence on the body's immune system. We also discuss the potential links between copper, iron, and neurological diseases, and how copper's role in iron regulation could have far-reaching implications. Martha's fascinating insights also shed light on the connection between glyphosate, food contamination, and how it could be affecting our health.   Martha Carlin is a Citizen Scientist, systems thinker, wife of Parkinson’s warrior, John Carlin, and founder of The BioCollective, a microbiome company expanding the reach of science. Since John’s diagnosis in 2002, Martha began learning the science of agriculture, nutrition, environment, infectious disease, Parkinson’s pathology and much more. In 2014, when the first research was published showing a connection between the gut bacteria and the two phenotypes of Parkinson’s, Martha quit her former career as a business turnaround expert and founded The BioCollective to accelerate the discovery of the impact of gut health on all human health, including Parkinson’s.       Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Learn more and shop at biotiquest.com + use code NAT10 for a 10% off discount BiOptimizers: For Sleep Breakthrough use code BIONAT10 at checkout to save 10% at sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/ Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Martha Carlin: Website: https://biotiquest.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BiotiQuest Twitter: https://twitter.com/BiotiQuest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biotiquest/ What we discuss: (0:00:04) - Parkinson's and the microbiome link (0:08:59) - Sleep disruption in neurodegenerative diseases (0:13:29) - Toxins, pathogens, and the Parkinson's microbiome (0:24:35) - Copper's role in iron regulation (0:42:49) - Glyphosate contamination and organic farming (0:47:59) - Parkinson's symptoms improvement through diet (0:54:30) - Red light therapy and microbiome health (1:04:33) - Improving health and restoring balance Key Takeaways: In some ways, the process of consuming food can be seen as a way of receiving information from the food itself. When we eat, our bodies extract various nutrients and compounds from the food, which contain valuable information that gets transmitted to our system. The gut plays a crucial role in this process, serving as the interface or channel for communication between the food and our cells. Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 65 is produced by certain pathogens or microbes, and it is not beneficial to us. On the other hand, HSP 60 and Alpha-b Crystallin play important roles in maintaining our health. However, the presence of the nefarious alpha crystalline and HSP 65 confuses our body, causing it to mistakenly attack our own beneficial proteins.  Higher iron levels may increase the likelihood of hosting more pathogens, and the immune system responds by attempting to sequester the iron and prevent pathogen access. However, this defensive strategy often involves storing iron in the body's tissues, which subsequently leads to inflammation.

If you’ve ever suffered from joint pain or inflammation, you know just how much it can take a toll on your quality of life. Whether you’re an athlete suffering from a sports-related injury or someone who’s noticed more and more aches and pains as you’ve gotten older, finding a solution to joint pain can seem almost impossible. Luckily, my guest today is here to talk about the light therapy device that ​​is a game-changer for pain management.   I’m joined by Forrest Smith, the CEO of Kineon Labs, to dive into the benefits of using light therapy to reduce joint pain. We discuss how localized inflammation has the potential to spread through the body if not addressed, and how red light can target specific reservoirs. We also talk about the balance of cartilage regrowth and degradation, and the benefits of Kineon Lab’s MOVE+ Pro.   Forrest Smith has a 20-year history of building successful startups in tech hardware. He is an entrepreneurial optimist and passionate about health, wellness, and advancing technology to help others. Forrest speaks, reads, and writes fluent Chinese and has spent his adult life building amazing products around innovative supply chains. He grew up playing competitive sports in Atlanta and regularly participates in rugby matches and trains CrossFit, which ultimately led him to develop Kineon Lab’s Move+: a modular, targeted laser therapy device for neuromuscular pain and inflammation.

Key Takeaways: Cartilage, the slow-growing but ever-evolving tissue in our bodies, plays a crucial role in supporting our joints and bones. Similar to bones, cartilage grows gradually and follows a unique process involving specialized cells called chondroblasts. These chondroblasts can be stimulated to proliferate faster through the application of infrared and red light treatment. Locally generated inflammation damages more than just the regional delivery of blood- it also damages the blood vessel tissue throughout the rest of your body, which is a main cause of long term cardiovascular disease. By addressing the localized inflammation, you're preventing it from spreading to the rest of the body. Infrared light has the ability to interact with proteins like hemoglobin, cytochrome C oxidase, and other heme proteins in the mitochondria. By targeting these proteins with infrared light, it reduces the affinity of nitric oxide for their binding sites, enabling them to access more oxygen. This interaction can potentially enhance oxygen delivery in the body.

Our skin was designed to function as a barrier to protect our bodies from environmental stressors and pathogens, but unfortunately, our skin barrier is one of the main factors that is compromised as we age. Many of us are constantly looking for the next best thing to slow down and possibly even reverse these signs of skin aging, and my guest today is here to explain why focusing on products that work on the molecular level is the key to healthy aging.   I’m joined by Carolina Oliveira, the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin, to discuss everything you need to know about healthy aging in the skin. We cover cellular senescence, biological age, systemic inflammation, and the research being done at OneSkin to quantify these things. We also talk about some of the other factors that have an impact on skin health, and of course dive into the first peptide developed to reverse skin aging at the molecular level: OS-O1.   Carolina Oliveira is the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin. She holds a Ph.D. in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, is a co-inventor of 5 patents and co-author of numerous scientific publications. She relocated from Brazil to Silicon Valley in 2016 to found OneSkin, a fast-growing longevity company developing products to promote skin health by targeting aging at the molecular level. Carolina is an alumnus of IndieBio, the world's largest biotech accelerator and has been an active voice in the longevity field, pioneering age reversal skin research with OneSkin.  Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: OneSkin: Use code SUPERHUMAN15 at https://www.oneskin.co/ BiOptimizers: For Sleep Breakthrough use code BIONAT10 at checkout to save 10% at sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com Neurohacker Collective: https://bit.ly/QNHNat and use code NN15 Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Carolina Oliveira: Website: oneskin.co   What we discuss: [00:03:24] The skin barrier and why our skin becomes more fragile as we age [00:08:30] Does nutrition have a big impact on skin health?

These cells have accumulated various mutations that can lead to cancer if they continue to divide. Therefore, cellular senescence functions as a protective mechanism for the body. However, these senescent cells also secrete inflammatory signals that can cause neighboring cells to age faster. When it comes to choosing skincare products, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients list. Some ingredients, like parabens and fragrance, can cause irritation or harm to the skin. Parabens are preservatives that have been linked to endocrine disruption, while fragrance can cause allergic reactions or sensitivity.  Websites like EWG can be a helpful resource for checking the safety of skincare products and their ingredients.  Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) are naturally occurring compounds that are formed when glucose reacts with proteins in the body. The accumulation of AGEs in the skin leads to the degradation of collagen and elastin fibers, which are responsible for keeping the skin firm and elastic.

The rise of ketamine therapy has been a hot topic in the world of medicine. For decades, ketamine has been used as an anesthetic in surgery and as a pain reliever. However, in recent years, it has gained attention as a potential treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health disorders. As the use of ketamine therapy continues to grow, more and more patients are finding relief from their mental health issues and an improved overall quality of life.   I’m joined by Caleb Greer, and we’re diving into the world of ketamine therapy. We cover how exactly ketamine works and what people feel when using ketamine, plus how it can be used as an effective treatment for mental health issues. We also discuss the long-term effects of ketamine, how it can help inhibit pain, and the difference between ketamine and other well-known psychedelics.    Caleb Greer is the founder of Dasein Health. In pursuit of becoming a well-rounded practitioner, Caleb studies all facets of human physiology and applies his understanding to the realms of mental and physical health. In his short time in practice, Caleb has helped over a thousand individuals reintroduce and optimize function through his multidisciplinary approach that integrates neurology, psychology, epigenetics, nutrition, biomechanics, and medicine.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% your order at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition Sensate: Use code NAT at https://buy.getsensate.com Profound Health: Use code longevity15 to save 15% off your first order at https://profound-health.com/ Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Caleb Greer: Website: https://www.daseinhealth.org/, https://daseinhealth.substack.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DaseinHealth Instagram: @daseinhealth What we discuss: [00:02:01] The idea that drugs can be utilized for therapeutic purposes  [00:08:47] What do people feel when using ketamine? [00:14:32] Using ketamine for chronic pain  [00:23:04] Ketamine can help people to see the fundamental sense of belonging [00:31:20] Ketamine therapy can speed up the acknowledgment of changes [00:39:04] Is ketamine addictive? [00:51:52] How to access ketamine therapy Key Takeaways: Ketamine is a type of drug that is known to be dissociative. This means that it can cause a person to feel disconnected from the outside world, as if they are in their own world. Ketamine can also cause a person to experience a highly introspective state, where they are able to reflect on their thoughts and emotions in a deeper way than usual. Ketamine is known to be anti-nociceptive, which means that it has the ability to block the signals that are responsible for registering pain in the brain. This means that ketamine can be used to effectively manage pain in patients who are experiencing acute or chronic pain. Ketamine has been found to be particularly effective in addressing emotional dysregulation, which is a common symptom of various mental health conditions. By acknowledging and addressing this symptom, ketamine therapy can help people gain a better understanding of their emotions and learn how to regulate them more effectively.

Did you know that by the age of 40-50, people have anywhere between 10 to 30% senescent cells in their tissues? Senescent cells are one of the hallmarks of aging, and can disrupt physiology throughout the body. Cellular senescence is the process by which cells permanently stop dividing but do not die off. These senescent cells linger inside the body and accumulate over time, affecting the healthy function of tissues and organs as we age.   I’m joined by Dr. Nick Bitz, and we’re diving into everything you need to know about senescent cells and cellular senescence. We discuss why our bodies need some senescent cells, and some of the lifestyle changes we can make to support the body's ability to clear senescent cells. Plus, we answer the question: How young is too young to be worried about your senescent cells?    Dr. Nick Bitz is a Naturopathic Physician that specializes in Ayurvedic medicine. He is a leading voice in the natural products industry and currently serves as Senior VP of Product Development at Neurohacker Collective. His areas of expertise include nootropics, anti-aging medicine, biohacking, herbology, nutrition and dietary supplements.

Promoting autophagy can help reduce the formation of senescent cells, as it can help the body remove damaged cells and other debris that can accumulate and lead to cell senescence.  Senescent cells can accumulate in different tissues and organs, such as the skin, heart, and lungs, and can disrupt normal function. Therefore, it is important to address senescent cells in all tissues and organs to ensure optimal health.

Over the past 20 years, there’s been a transition in the discussion around mental health. Now more than ever, there’s been a heavy focus on stress, anxiety and the impact they can have on our overall health. However, the ability for people to engage with techniques such as mindful breathing and meditation has also decreased over the years.   I’m joined by Stefan Chmelik, co-founder and inventor of Sensate, to discuss why it’s important to focus on regulating our nervous system, and how embracing discomfort and taking risks is key to transformation and development. We also dive into the technology behind Sensate, the benefits of using Sensate, and the different use cases. If you’re someone who is looking for a way to regulate your nervous system and improve the amount of quality sleep you’re getting each night, you’ll want to tune into our conversation.   Stefan is the inventor of the Sensate technology, a lifelong meditator and founder of London Harley Street’s New Medicine Group. Stefan is a technology innovator and physician with 30 years of clinical experience, working with tens of thousands of patients experiencing stress and anxiety. He is now entirely devoted to leveraging his significant and unique experience towards achieving maximum impact for Sensate as the ideal consumer solution.

It is deeply wired into our cells, body, and connective tissues, ensuring that all these functions happen without us being consciously aware of them. Embracing discomfort and taking risks is key to transformation and development. By stepping outside of our comfort zone and exposing ourselves to “good stress”, we can help build resilience and adaptability.  Humans are fundamentally tied to nature, and this is reflected in our nurture and survival responses. The human response to nature is complex and multifaceted, incorporating both physical and emotional elements. Our bodies are designed to respond to various environmental stimuli, both positive and negative, in order to ensure our survival.

Did you know you can take CBD with your morning coffee?   In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Podcast, I chat with Adam Wenguer about the endocannabinoid system, which is a biological system composed of endocannabinoids, neurotransmitters, cannabinoid receptors, and receptor proteins.    Adam also shares the benefits of taking CBD both in the morning and the evening. While most of us are aware of the benefits we get from taking CBD to get into a parasympathetic state for better sleep, it works wonderfully to help enhance your focus and cognitive function in the morning.   Adam Wenguer is the founder and CEO of Element Health, producer of the most potent full-spectrum CBD on the market. He has a vast knowledge of the medicinal use of CBD/cannabinoids for human optimization and is an expert on the Endocannabinoid system. With a background in applied physiology, kinesiology, and human performance, Adam has over 20 years of experience working with professional athletes, company executives, and other high performers seeking to maximize their physical and mental capabilities.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   To Purchase any products from Element Health use code NAT15 to save 15% at https://elementhealthsupply.com/   Use code NAT10 for 10% off your order at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition.   Go to www.DrinkLMNT.com/NAT to get 8 FREE single-serving packets with your order.   Go to https://oxfordhealthspan.com/en-ca and use code BIONAT15 for a discount.     Find more about Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Learn more about the 2023 Women’s Longevity & Resilience Retreat: https://www.natniddam.com/longevity-resilience     Find more from Adam:   Website: Use code NAT15 to save at https://elementhealthsupply.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elementhealth/      What we discuss:   00:00:46: About Adam’s addiction journey 00:08:16: What is the endocannabinoid system?  00:13:18: What is CBD? 00:14:28: How does CBD reduce inflammation? 00:17:42: Why aren’t we in tune with our natural state anymore? 00:19:22: What should people look for in CBD products? 00:25:25: What is the beauty of full spectrum CBD? 00:30:09: What’s the issue with CBD gummies? 00:32:31: Can CBD be used in the morning? 00:34:00: How can CBD help at night? 00:35:15: Can you use less CBD and still get the same effect? 00:41:52: How does topical CBD help with inflammation? 00:48:23: What type of supplements should you avoid stacking with CBD? 00:55:03: What does Adam think of biohacking? 01:00:09: How does your personality impact your healing ability?     Key Takeaways:   We all know that less is more, and that couldn’t be more true when it comes to CBD. The goal with CBD is not to infinitely increase your dosage, but to reach a point where you need less of it. See, CBD has a thing called reverse tolerance where over time you you will need less of it to feel the same great results. This is due to CBD not directly binding to the receptors in the ECS. Instead, CBD is involved in communicating how to regulate various responses in the body. So once you’ve reached a peak in the optimization of whatever it is you’re trying to improve with CBD, then your body may slowly need less of that CBD to keep up the same good work.   Newsflash: CBD can be used all day long — and not only as a sedative at night. The key to reaping most of its benefits is to take the right dose at the right time, depending on the effect you want to have. So if you want to feel focused without the jitters often associated with caffeine, a small amount of CBD in the morning should help. But if you want to slip into a parasympathetic state, then taking CBD is the way to go.   The quality of the CBD you intake is just as important - if not more - than the dosage you take in. You need to do your research to find out what the farming, manufacturing, and overall commercialization process is like for the CBD brands you buy from. You need to be intentional about what you put in your body.

Do you feel like your sex life took a hit as you grew older?   In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Podcast, I chat with Susan Bratton about sexual biohacking. Most women tend to let their sex lives die off as they grow older, especially if their body changes in ways where sex just doesn’t happen to feel the same way that it used to. From vaginal dryness to difficulty achieving orgasms, Susan talks about the different sexual rejuvenation treatments and protocols women can try out so that they can continue to enjoy intimacy with their partners even as their bodies change over time.   We also chat about the importance of cultivating intimacy with a partner that you have been with for a long time. Susan shares her sex bucket list, among other tools, and explains how this tool can help light up that spark that may have been dormant between you and your partner for a while.    Susan Bratton is an Intimacy Wellness Expert, Sexual Bio-Hacker, and self-proclaimed “Orgasmanaut”, who is a champion and advocate for all those who desire lifelong intimacy and passion. She’s a best-selling author and publisher of 44 books and programs including Sexual Soulmates, Relationship Magic, Revive Her Drive, Ravish Him, Steamy Sex Ed™, The Passion Patch, Hormone Balancing, and Hot To Trot.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Use code NAT to get 10% off Sensate now by heading over to getsensate.com   Use my practitioner code NIDDBL while registering at berkeleylife.com to get 10% off your first order.   Use code NAT25 to get 25% off Restoracell by heading over to https://www.restoracell.com     Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Learn more about the 2023 Women’s Longevity & Resilience Retreat: https://www.natniddam.com/longevity-resilience   Find more from Susan:   Website: https://betterlover.com/ Sex Life Bucket List: https://personallifemedia.com/sexlifebucketlist/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanbratton/   What we discuss:   00:02:24: Is sex good for you? 00:07:16: What does Susan think of sexual biohacking? 00:11:34: What is the difference between intimacy and sex? 00:22:17: Is the sex bucket list only for couples? 00:26:05: Why does it take longer for women to be ready to go? 00:33:30: Why do women experience vaginal dryness? 00:40:10: What sexual rejuvenation treatments does Susan recommend? 00:44:30: How can O shots help? 00:48:35: What is Orgasmic Cross-Training? 00:52:14: Where to learn more about Susan?   Key Takeaways:   One of the most common complaints women make once they reach menopause is that nothing feels good when it comes to love-making. The reason? They just can’t get aroused like they used to. Given that your vagina is a muscle and not a gland, it can’t lubricate itself without blood flow. Your vaginal tissue requires blood flow to seep through the layers of its tissue to wet the lining. But over time, as women reach menopause, the tissue thins out and tends to dry up. Thus, the importance of doing the work to bring blood flow back to your pelvic bowl - especially as you get older.   The #1 reason why women don’t enjoy sex is that they’re engaging in intercourse BEFORE their bodies are properly prepared for it! See, men tend to be aroused very quickly and are ready for intercourse within a few minutes of foreplay. On the other hand, women need an average of 20 to 30 minutes of consistent stimulation to be fully aroused. As a result, this makes sex less enjoyable as women engage in intercourse BEFORE enough time has gone by to ensure adequate blood flow has made its way toward their vaginal tissue - which would properly lubricate their vagina. And as women get older and the vaginal tissue thins out, it takes even more time to get aroused - making intercourse more painful than it used to be if they rush it.   Most women have been having sex like a dude most of their lives if not all of their lives. While it's something that women don’t realize early on in their sex life, it becomes a lot more apparent after menopause when their bodies change.

Would you want to know when you are going to die?   In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, I chat with Hannah Went, Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic, about the stories certain biomarkers can tell about our present health and our future health. From predictors of lifespan to predictors of diseases, there is a large array of biomarkers we can target to help identify a patient’s biological age.    Hannah also shares what lifestyle changes someone can implement to increase their longevity and reverse the clock on their biological age so that it either equals or underpasses a person’s chronological age. From limiting alcohol consumption to caloric restriction, there is a multitude of lifestyle changes one can make to increase their lifespan.    Hannah Went has a lifelong passion for longevity and breakthrough, disruptive technologies that drive radical improvement to the human condition. She attended the University of Kentucky and graduated with a degree in Biology. After graduation, she worked for the International Peptide Society as their Director of Research and Content. Through work in the integrative medicine industry, Hannah saw an opportunity for methylation-based age diagnostics and started TruDiagnostics in 2020. TruDiagnostic is a company focusing on methylation array-based diagnostics for life extension and preventive healthcare serving functional medicine providers.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% off your order at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition.   LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.   Profound Health: For Oral and Synthetic Bioregulators shipped worldwide as well as cutting edge anti-aging supplements use Profound-Health.com and discount code Longevity15 to save 15% off your first order     Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community 2023 Women’s Longevity & Resilience Retreat : Learn More https://www.natniddam.com/longevity-resilience     Find more from Hannah:   Website: everythingepigenetics.com and trudiagnostic.com use code longevity12 for a discount Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/everythingepigenetics and https://www.instagram.com/trudiagnosticofficial      What we discuss:   02:29: What do all of these biomarker tests do? 06:14: What is an R-value? 09:24: What are first-generation clocks looking at? 13:22: What values do the second generation of clocks look at? 14:11: Is the GrimAge indicator an accurate predictor of lifespan? 17:03: What are the different metabolomic and proteomic approaches to biomarkers? 21:43: Why are third-generation clocks better than the precedent ones? 22:43: What can accelerate a person’s biological age? 27:57: Can exercise age you? 28:54: What does telomeres length mean about your health? 34:18: Against what population are your biomarkers usually compared? 36:40: What have the latest clinical studies found? 40:25: In which cases would your clock stay consistent over the years? 43:44: Can we determine which areas in our bodies are aging faster? 47:00: Can caloric restriction reverse biological aging? 52:01: What is the quicksilver protocol? 54:47: How often should you do a TruDiagnostic test? 56:03: What are the top lifestyle hacks to slow chronological aging? 57:30: Which supplements should you take? 58:50: Where to learn more about Hannah     Key takeaways:   Three different types of clocks examine biomarkers in terms of longevity: first-generation clocks, second-generation clocks, and third-generation clocks. They all examine different values that are indicative of longevity. Right now, the most precise clock is the third-generation clock as it is trained on direct biomarkers of health and disease, such as grip strength in people, aging-related brain shrinkage, dental health, lung function, and more.   Most of us have a biological age that is more advanced than our chronological age. While some factors influencing this premature aging can’t be changed, our biological age is heavily influenced by our lifestyle. Alcohol consumption, tobacco usage, sleeping patterns, stress management, and exercise are some of the few lifestyle aspects that can reduce our lifespan.

Did you know that stem cell therapy can be used as a preventative measure?    In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, I chat with Joy Kong, MD, about stem cell therapy. Stem cell therapy is a medical procedure that involves the use of stem cells to prevent, and address various diseases and conditions. Stem cells are unique cells that can differentiate into different types of cells in the body and can also self-renew to produce more stem cells.   Dr. Kong explains the different sources of stem cells they can pull from, such as the bone marrow, the fat tissue, and even from birth tissues. Depending on where the cells are sourced from, each source of stem cells has its advantages and disadvantages. We also chat about how stem cells differentiate from exosomes, the future of stem cell therapy, and what the research is saying about stem cell therapy for autism.   Joy Kong, M.D. is a UCLA-trained, triple-board-certified physician. She is the president of Uplyft Longevity Center in Los Angeles, California, where she specializes in stem cell therapy, and ketamine therapy, as well as a wide range of therapeutic modalities to improve patients’ overall health by enhancing their body’s innate regenerative potentials. Dr. Kong is the founder of the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy (www.aaict.org), where she provides training to physicians on stem cell therapy. Dr. Kong also conducts clinical research on stem cell therapy and is a published author in scientific journals.      Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   CharaOmni: Visit charaomni.com and try out their Stem Cell Face Cream and use code NAT10 for a 10% off your purchase   Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com   Sensate:  Go to getsensate.com ad use code NAT to save 10% off your purchase of the Sensate - an ultrasound resonance device that can improve Sleep, HRV and stress response.   Profound Health: Profound-Health is my first choice for oral and sublingual Bioregulator Peptides - the Nature’s Marvel Brand are oral Khavinson Bioregulators repackaged for the English speaking market.

If you’ve been wondering what exactly bioregulators are and what differentiates them from the peptides you’re already familiar with, then this episode is for you.    Today we’re diving into the world of bioregulator peptides, and covering everything from how they work to where they come from. We’ll also discuss why there has been an increasing number of physicians that are starting to implement bioregulator peptides into their protocol, and how bioregulators are often used in conjunction with conventional therapy. We’ll also talk a bit about the history behind bioregulators, and the connection between bioregulator peptides and the 12 hallmarks of aging.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Sensate: Use promo code NAT at getsensate.com to save 10% on your order.   Find more from Nathalie: Find More From Nathalie YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 What we discuss: [00:07:08] A bioregulator peptide is an epigenetic switch [00:09:03] Who discovered bioregulators?  [00:11:55] Other than our own bodies, where else can we get bioregulators from?  [00:13:31] Taking extracts from tissues, glands, and organs to isolate bioregulator peptides  [00:17:31] The three different forms of bioregulator peptides [00:21:54] How safe are bioregulator peptides? [00:22:45] What are some of the organ systems that bioregulators address?  [00:25:34] Why bioregulators are often used in conjunction with conventional therapy [00:26:35] Why bioregulators don't need to be used indefinitely  Key Takeaways: Bioregulator peptides are molecules that can act as epigenetic switches, meaning they can modify gene expression without altering the genetic code itself. By selectively turning on or off certain genes, bioregulator peptides can help regulate a variety of biological processes, from inflammation and immune response to tissue repair and regeneration.  There are currently 21 bioregulator peptides that address many different organ systems and can be used to improve your overall health. These peptides are derived from various sources, including plant and animal tissues, and work by signaling cells to perform specific functions. In many cases, bioregulators are used to enhance the effects of other forms of treatment. For example, they may be used alongside medication or physical therapy to help improve overall health and well-being. By using bioregulators in combination with conventional therapy, patients may be able to experience greater symptom relief and faster healing times.

You may have already heard how important organ meats are when it comes to health optimization, but many people still shy away from the idea of consuming these organ meats in place of a steak.   But the truth is that the nutrients found in organ meats play a crucial role in supporting immune function, brain health, and energy metabolism, and my guest today is here to share why we should all be incorporating these nutrient-rich organs into our diet.   I’m joined by James Barry, the founder of Pluck seasonings, to discuss the many benefits of eating organ meats. We discuss why as a society we have moved away from eating organ meats, and the perception that certain foods are healthier than others. James also explains why he decided to start making Pluck seasonings, and how these organ meat seasonings compare to eating the real thing.   James Barry’s 17 + years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Most recently, James launched his first functional food product, Pluck, an organ-based seasoning. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.   James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and co-authored the follow-up cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook.

Key Takeaways: One of the biggest myths about eating liver is that it holds a lot of toxins, making it dangerous for us to eat. While it is true that the liver acts as a filter for toxins within the body, it does not store toxins in large quantities. Instead, the liver converts potential toxins into less harmful substances or eliminates them altogether. Organs are often considered to be the most nutrient-dense foods because they are rich in a variety of essential vitamins and minerals that are not found in muscle meat. This is largely due to the fact that organs have distinct physiological functions, and as a result, they contain unique nutrient profiles. It's often healthier to cook at home than to eat out because you have control over the ingredients and cooking methods used in your food. When you cook at home, you can choose fresh and wholesome ingredients to make your meals, avoiding processed foods and excessive amounts of salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats.

Did you know there is a connection between spirituality, a balanced nervous system and longevity? When it comes to biohacking, we focus primarily on the supplements we can take, the peptides we can use, and the different  technology we can implement into our daily life. But, what many of us forget, is that our mental wellbeing plays a huge role in our health. We can do all the biohacks we want, but if our mental health is not balanced, we’ll struggle to optimize our health and longevity…plus, the brain-gut connection is a real thing!    My guest today is here to discuss why there’s more to the pursuit of longevity than just biohacks and supplements.   I’m joined by Danielle LaPorte, and we’re diving into the spiritual side of longevity and covering the corollary between the spiritual striving and the physical striving. We also discuss why a person's health history can be the key to healing, things you can do to eliminate any obstacles within your body, and how to balance your sympathetic nervous system with your parasympathetic nervous system.    Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.” Danielle is the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leadership Program with 400+ leaders in 30 countries hosting conversation circles, retreats, and workshops in all kinds of communities and businesses.    What we discuss: 00:03:18: The light side and the shadow side of our obsession and pursuit of longevity  00:09:43: The corollary between the spiritual striving and the physical striving 00:14:36: The metaphors of the body 00:19:24: The correlation between pain and fear  00:26:01: The misperception that spiritual people are healthy all the time  00:35:16: Why going through a person's health history can be the key to healing 00:41:19: Why your entire life needs to revolve around regulating your nervous system  00:49:35: When we start to think differently, we will attract the right kind of healthcare providers  00:55:22: By accessing the energetic force within yourself, you can eliminate any obstacles within your body     Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Primeadine: Use promo code BIONAT15 to save 15% on your first order at https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement  Sensate: Use code NAT to get 10% off at https://bit.ly/NatNiddam LVLUP: Use code NAT10 to save 10% off at https://lvluphealth.com/     Find more from Nathalie:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Danielle LaPorte:   Website: https://daniellelaporte.com/ Instagram: @daniellelaporte

While you may be familiar with the nine hallmarks of aging, over the past several years there have been an additional five added to that list. It might seem overwhelming to have 14 aging processes to keep up with, but it's important to understand that many of them, if not all of them, are essentially interrelated.    One thing we’ve learned about these processes that drive aging are that they are done at a cellular and systemic level. This gives us the opportunity to try and intercept and correct them so that we can live longer, healthier lives.   I’m joined by Leslie Kenny, Founder of Oxford Healthspan and Co-Founder of the Oxford Longevity Project. We’re talking all about the hallmarks of aging, including how the processes are interconnected, and what we can do to slow these processes down. We also dive into polyamines, specifically spermidine, and how it can boost autophagy.   Leslie Kenny is an autoimmune survivor/thriver, certified health coach and Founder and CEO of Oxford Healthspan, bringing to consumers the latest scientifically based molecules proven to slow aging.   She is also the Co-Founder of the non-profit Oxford Longevity Project which aims to bring the latest scientific breakthroughs on healthy aging to the general public. Leslie holds degrees from Berkeley and Harvard. What we discuss: 00:01:38 - The symposiums and organizations Leslie is connected to  00:11:21 - The first nine hallmarks of aging 00:15:25 - Inflammation, gut dysbiosis, and autophagy  00:22:22 - The effects of fasting on the body 00:30:09 - The dysregulated RNA process 00:36:03 - What are polyamines? 00:44:42 - How do people get polyamines into their diet?  00:51:40 - Synthetics vs. food derived  00:57:17 - The benefits of spermidine supplements  Key Takeaways: Polyamines are derived from amino acids, and they play a role in slowing down the process of aging. The most well known polyamine is spermidine, and it helps to boost autophagy. There are many other molecules in foods and whole food sources, so it is important to consume nutrients through eating whole foods. The body is able to regenerate and self renew itself if we're able to remove the obstacles and facilitate those processes. Leslie’s top suggestions for longevity include eating intentionally, joyful movement, sleep, and early morning sunlight.

What if there was a way to help detox your body, boost your mood, burn calories, and get glowing skin in just under 45 minutes a day? The good news is that there is, and my guest today is sharing the secret to elevating your at-home wellness routine.   Today we’re diving into the world of infrared, PEMF, and red light and discussing the many benefits of infrared saunas.    I’m joined by Lauren Berlingeri, one of the founders of HigherDOSE. Lauren is discussing her background and what inspired her to start HigherDOSE, and explaining some of the differences between infrared saunas and traditional heat saunas. She shares everything you need to know about when and how to use an infrared sauna, plus some of the benefits of detoxing daily.   As a female biohacker, Lauren is passionate about inviting more people into the biohacking world and reimagining these tools for all bodies — so you can reconnect with your intuition and elevate to your highest state. She is making it sexy to sweat it out and even hotter to know the science behind what’s happening. She is harnessing the healing power of nature and fitting it into busy, overstressed schedules. And, she is changing the way you think about beauty and wellness by building tools that ignite vitality from the inside out. What we discuss: 00:00:50 - What inspired Lauren to start Higher Dose 00:06:53 - Infrared vs. regular heat 00:13:09 - How to prepare your body before going into an infrared sauna 00:20:46 - Why you should detox daily 00:25:04 - Lauren’s favorite three biohacks 00:33:00 - The best time to use an infrared sauna 00:38:14 - Research around menopausal women and red light 00:44:10 - Pros and cons of the sauna blanket  00:53:47 - How long should you use the sauna blanket?  01:00:30 - Other HigherDOSE products   Key Takeaways: Infrared saunas heat the body at a much lower temperature, so it's much more gentle on the body.   The four main happy chemicals are dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins, and they are released with the use of infrared saunas. Before using an infrared sauna, it’s important to prepare your body by opening up your detox pathways.    Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Lauren Berlingeri: Website: https://higherdose.com/ Instagram: @laurenberlingeri, @higherdose Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: HigherDose:  To save 15% sitewide on any of the great HigherDose products just go to bit.ly/HDNAT15 and use code NAT15.

I’m joined by Dr. Bill Harris, PhD, FASN, President of the Fatty Acid Research Institute and Founder of OmegaQuant Analytics. We’re diving into omega-6s and omega-3s and discussing the benefits of these fatty acids and where they come from. We also cover the importance of maintaining a ratio of omega-6 and omega-3, and whether or not omega-3s have an effect on blood clotting and blood circulation. Dr. Harris has been a leading researcher in the omega-3 fatty acid field for over 40 years. He has more than 300 scientific papers on fatty acids and health, the vast majority on omega-3. He has been on the faculty of three medical schools (Universities of Kansas, Missouri (at Kansas City), and South Dakota), and has received 5 NIH grants to study omega-3. He was the co-author on three AHA statements on fatty acids and heart health. As the co-inventor of the Omega-3 Index (and other omega-3 blood tests) and founder of OmegaQuant Analytics, Dr. Harris has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide based on the impact of his research.    What we discuss: 00:02:38 - Omega-3s and their effects on blood clotting and blood circulation  00:07:23 - The value of omega-6 00:11:54 - The ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 00:18:03 - Where do arachidonic acid and linoleic acid come from, and what do they do? 00:25:22 - The components of omega-3s 00:31:04 - EPA and DHA   00:41:35 - Is there a relationship between omega-6 and omega-3 levels and longevity? 00:46:31 - Fish as a source of omega-3  00:57:21 - Mammalian sourced omega-3s 01:06:35 - 3 things to keep in mind about omega-3s and omega-6s  Key Takeaways: Looking at levels of omega-6 fatty acids in the blood can predict future diseases like heart disease and diabetes.  Increasing your levels of omega-3 is more important than worrying about getting your omega-6 levels down in order to have a good ratio between the two.  It’s important to measure your omega-3 levels. These levels are predictive of good health outcomes and even cholesterol levels.    Find more about Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more about Dr. Bill Harris: Website: www.omegaquant.com, www.fareinst.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Omega3Index Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omega3index/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/omegaquant-analytics/?viewAsMember=true Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmegaQuant YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZhRX5MX7-dFLXNZjsjhKKw   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: OmegaQuant: Use code NAT5 to save 5% on any OmegaQuant test at https://omegaquant.com/ref/NAT5/ Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% off Timeline Nutrition Products at https://www.mitopure.com/ LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.

You've probably heard about peptides, and you may be wondering, “What are peptides? Why do I need to know about them?” At the end of this episode, you’ll have the answers to these questions, plus so much more.   We’re diving into the basics of peptides, and I'm going to answer some very commonly asked questions about both peptides and bioregulators. We’re covering everything from the most important things to remember about peptides, to the different ways peptides can be administered. If you want to learn how peptides work, the benefits of BPC-157, and why most peptides are not FDA approved, you’ll want to tune into this episode. What we discuss: 00:03:34: What are peptides? 00:04:26 Insulin is a very well known peptide 00:05:33: Why most peptides are not FDA approved 00:07:49: Why there’s not a lot of information about peptides in healthcare 00:09:35: How do peptides work?  00:11:20: The benefits of BPC-157 00:14:14: Using peptides topically 00:17:49: Important things to remember about peptides  00:20:07: The importance of getting peptides from a trusted supplier 00:21:27: Bioregulator peptides 00:23:59: Why bioregulators are highly bio-available orally  00:29:51: Where to find bioregulator peptide supplements  Key Takeaways: Bioregulator peptides have been shown to help to extend human life, to reverse biological age and to restore function. When you have a string of amino acids that's either 50 amino acids or less, that is automatically called a peptide. The most common way that peptides are introduced into the body is by subcutaneous injection. Copper peptides are very powerful when used topically, which is why a lot of beauty products incorporate copper peptides.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: LVLUP: Use code NAT10 for 10% off your order at https://lvluphealth.com

Have you ever struggled with weight loss and thought to yourself, “I’m doing everything right…I have a healthy diet, I’m exercising, but the weight just won’t come off”? You’re not alone, and today we’re discussing how your hormones could be impacting not only your weight loss, but many other aspects of your life.   I’m joined by Karen Martel, a Certified Hormone Specialist & Transformational Nutrition Coach and women’s weight loss expert. We’re diving into the world of hormones, specifically how hormone imbalances can play a major role in weight loss, insomnia, depression, and some diseases. Karen also shares how she is an advocate for women taking charge of their hormones as they move through different stages of life.  Karen is the host of the top 100 rated women’s health podcast The Other Side of Weight Loss where she helps women to unlock the mysteries of female fat loss and hormone imbalance. After struggling with her own health issues, Karen was determined to bring her knowledge to others with a bold new approach to women’s hormone health and weight management. Karen’s passion lies in helping women balance and optimize their hormones in peri and post menopause and breakthrough weight loss resistance. What we discuss: 00:01:55 - How Karen got into the hormone space  00:10:54 - Why perimenopause is happening earlier 00:15:48 - How toxins are affecting hormones  00:19:15 - Birth control and the studies on progestin 00:25:50 - How the loss of hormones drives breast cancer  00:29:10 - Estrogen in the brain 00:37:20 - How estrogen is partly responsible for the production of serotonin and dopamine  00:45:45 - Ways to help treat severe PMS 00:53:01 - Why estradiol is so important 00:59:47 - How hormones and peptides go hand in hand for anti-aging Key Takeaways: There are a lot of chemicals in our environment that mimic hormones, and they are a lot stronger than your own actual hormones. It is important to try and clean up your immediate environment from all the toxic chemicals to prevent your body from running on these fake chemical hormones.  The loss of hormones drives almost every disease that is dangerous to women, especially breast cancer.  In the second half of your cycle when you start to produce progesterone, some women get severe PMS, which is also known as Premenstrual Dysphoric disorder (PMDD). The symptoms can include increased anxiety and severe depression.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Karen Martel: Website: https://karenmartel.com Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Primeadine: Use promo code BIONAT15 to save 15% on your first order at https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% off your order at https://www.mitopure.com/ LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.

If we look back at the last 200 years, we can see that human evolution was not designed to deal with the drugs, chemicals, and pollutants that are part of the modern day world. This is why it is so important to support liver health for our overall well-being.   The liver is basically our processing plant for toxins. And it all comes back to gut health - when we have negative bacteria in our gut, that directly affects our liver detoxification pathways.   I’m joined by Kyal Van Der Leest, founder of LVLUP Health. We’re discussing everything you need to know about how to optimize your liver health, and how it connects to the health of your gut. We also dive into the skin issues that can arise from the body releasing toxins, and how if your detox pathways aren't optimized, your skin is ultimately not going to look as good as it could.   Kyal Van Der Leest is a nutritionist, naturopath, and functional health coach turned formulator who now runs LVLUP Health. He founded LVLUP Health to create powerful cutting edge supplement tools that people could use to improve their health using the unique formulations that combine orally bioavailable peptides with naturopathic botanicals and nutritional supplement ingredients.    What we discuss: 00:02:29 - Why all health begins in the gut  00:04:35 - The different phases of detoxification  00:11:25 - Are detox products beneficial?  00:19:58 - The Complete Liver Complex 00:26:24 - How TUDCA works 00:33:29 - How releasing toxins can result in skin issues  00:40:44 - How AHK supports the culture networks of the skin 00:44:00 - Botox-like peptides  00:50:21 - How Botox can have an effect on your liver  01:02:28 - How the peptide Svetinorm is beneficial for the liver  Key Takeaways: Svetinorm is a bio-regulator peptide that has beneficial effects on the liver, such as supporting protein synthesis. When we have negative bacteria in our gut, that directly affects our liver detoxification pathways. By focusing on optimizing the health of our gut, we can lift some of the burden being put on our liver, and help support the detoxification process. By supporting gut health, you will indirectly support skin health, too. If you don't have the inflammation from the gut, then you're less likely to be inflamed in the skin.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 Find more from Kyal Van Der Leest: Website: www.lvluphealth.com Instagram: @lvluphealth Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: LVLUPHealth: To save 10% off any order use code NAT10 at LVLUPhealth.com Primeadine: Use promo code BIONAT15 to save 15% off your first order at https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement BiOptimizers: Use code HUMANPERFORMANCE10 at checkout to save 10% at https://bioptimizers.com/ Berkeley Life: Register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com

Did you know that the health of your microbiome affects your mental health, metabolism, and immune system? There's really no part of your body that's not affected by your microbiome health.  I’m joined by Awais Spall, certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. We’re discussing how he combines Ayurveda, Functional Medicine, and peptides to create a protocol that helps optimize the health of the microbiome. If you’re new to the system of Ayurveda, you’ll want to tune in as we deep dive into the definition of Ayurveda and the three doshas it consists of. Awais Spall FDN-P is a Functional Medicine practitioner based out of Santa Monica, CA. Prior to becoming a health practitioner, Awais worked as a formulation chemist for various cannabis companies. As a product formulator, Awais combined his knowledge of formulation chemistry with his background in Ayurvedic Herbalism. Awais has inherited much of his knowledge around Ayurveda from his grandfather, who was a renowned herbalist in Pakistan. In his practice at Integrative Oasis, Awais combines the cutting edge science of Functional Medicine with Ayurveda to address various gut health issues.  What we discuss: 00:01:01 - What brought Awais to combine Ayurveda, Functional Medicine, and peptides 00:03:44 - The definition of Ayurveda 00:05:35 - The three elements of Ayurveda  00:09:51 - Microbiome medicine  00:13:48 - The microbiome and probiotics 00:18:22 - How nutrition is part of the microbiome  00:25:56 - Tests for helping people with their microbiome medicine  00:32:16 - What would a microbiome medicine protocol look like? 00:37:02 - The different forms lymphatic drainage  00:43:52 - How peptides fit into Integrative Oasis 00:52:07 - How people could be using peptides wrong 00:57:34 - The art of microbiome medicine   Key Takeaways: The word Ayurveda is a conjugation of two words: 'ayus', meaning 'life' and 'veda', meaning 'science'. Ayurveda is defined as the science of how to live your life, and your mind, body, and spirit play a role in Ayurveda. The three doshas of Ayurveda are vata, kapha, and pitta. It is possible to be a combination of two or even all three of these doshas, and there are tests to determine which one a person is. Part of optimizing your microbiome health is reconditioning the gut by strategically weeding things out, and then taking probiotics appropriately.    Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 Find more from Awais Spall: Website: integrativeoasis.com  Instagram: @integrativeoasis Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: BiOptimizers: Use code HUMANPERFORMANCE10 at checkout to save 10% at https://bioptimizers.com/ Berkeley Life: Consumers may register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com Profound Health: Use code Longevity15 at https://profound-health.com/

We’ve all heard mitochondria described as “the powerhouse of the cell”. But what we know now is that mitochondria have a second role beyond being energy generators, and are of central importance in human physiology.   Today we’re discussing everything you need to know about mitochondria, specifically how the story of energy and the story of aging are very much centered around the health of our mitochondria.    I’m joined by Ari Whitten, M.S., the founder of The Energy Blueprint. We take a deep dive into how mitochondria work, including the second role they play as environmental sensors. If you struggle with chronic fatigue, you’ll want to tune in to learn how mitochondria is impacting your energy levels, and what you can do about it.   Ari Whitten, M.S. is the best-selling author of The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy, and Eat For Energy: How To Beat Fatigue, and Supercharge Your Mitochondria For All-Day Energy. He has a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist, has completed extensive graduate training in Clinical Psychology, and holds a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine.   What we discuss: 00:02:46 - How to start with supporting your mitochondria  00:11:28 - How mitochondria can impact your energy levels 00:18:27 - Why losing mitochondria is not a natural product of aging  00:22:22 - Ways to maintain mitochondria  00:25:20 - Melatonin production 00:30:06 - Light exposure and melatonin production  00:41:33 - Supporting your mitochondria at the foundational level  00:47:57 - EMF sensitivity 00:56:04 - The blueprint to optimizing your mitochondria  01:02:49 - The most powerful supplements for optimizing your mitochondria    Key Takeaways: All the things that boost our mitochondrial capacity for energy production are also going to translate into increased longevity and resistance to disease. The loss of mitochondria is not a natural product of aging, but is the result of modern lifestyles. Challenging your mitochondria by living a more active lifestyle will help support and rebuild your mitochondrial networks as you get older. Mitochondria have a second role beyond their role as energy generators, and that is as environmental sensors. Not only are the mitochondria actually producing energy, they are making the decision on whether or not to produce that energy.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 Find more from Ari Whitten, M.S.: Email: affiliates@theenergyblueprint.com Website: theenergyblueprint.com Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% off your order at https://www.mitopure.com/ Profound Health: Use code Longevity15 at https://profound-health.com/ LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.

On this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I’m joined by three guests: Dr. Suzanne Turner, who is a return guest on the podcast, and the founders and formulators of Vitali Skin Care, Debbi Barber and Terry Barber. We take a deep dive into copper peptides, and cover everything from the chemical function of these peptides to how they act on DNA. We also discuss the additional key ingredients in the Vitali Skin Care products that are making drastic transformations in people’s skin. Debbi served as President of Direct Marketing Agency for 37 years, focusing on nonprofit marketing. She retired in 2018, but came out of retirement to start Vitali Skin Care and make quality, high performing skincare with copper peptides more readily available and affordable to a broader market.   Dr. Susanne Turner is a physician, teacher, speaker, urban farmer, salsero powerlifter, wife, bonus mom, and a "Birdie" practicing human performance and longevity medicine in Atlanta, GA. She is a recognized expert in the field of cellular medicine and the use of peptides and hormones. She has served on the faculty of Emory University, A4M, SSRP, ACAM and BioTE, and has been a featured guest on shows like Superhuman Radio Network, Health Matters, and Jay Campbell. Terry has a career as an inspirational speaker, author and entrepreneur.    What we discuss: 00:02:44 How Vitali Restoracell was started 00:07:39 What is the copper peptide?  00:14:03 How copper peptides can help fade scars  00:18:42 Is there a relationship between copper peptides and our own body stem cells?  00:28:33 Other key ingredients included in Vitali Restoracell products 00:31:21 How copper peptides act on DNA 00:41:13 What's the concentration of copper peptides in Vitali Restoracell products?   00:48:43 The main benefits of copper peptides for skin   Key Takeaways: According to Dr Turner, GHKCu (known as the copper peptide) could well be a Bioregulator as so they work by binding to DNA and turning on or turning off the genes that are related to youthfulness.  When you are injured, your body sends out signals that there's damage to be repaired. Copper peptides help make your stem cells more likely to produce the growth factors that are needed to repair the damage of those cells.  Using copper peptides consistently for long periods of time can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and repair the surface of the skin.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Debbi Barber and Terry Barber: www.vitaliskincare.com  www.instagram/vitali_skincare.com   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Vitali Skincare: Use code NAT25 at https://www.restoracell.com LMNT: Use Drinklmnt.com/NAT to get 8 free single serves with any order to try different flavors.

Can eating apple peels be transformative for your gut health? That’s a fun fact you’re going to find out about today!    Today we are diving into the world of gut health…as this is an ever growing issue amongst the entire population due to modern day food production, practices and ingredients. If you have ever struggled with gut issues, you know how terrible and hopeless it can feel. That’s why you need to stay tuned to find out an effective gut reset protocol that will ultimately heal the gut and reduce inflammatory status in both the gut and the entire body.   I’m joined by Dr. Alexis Cowan, Director of Scientific Content at Layer Origin Nutrition. She dives into three specific ingredients the gut reset consists of and why they are so beneficial for healing. We also discuss the benefits of human milk oligosaccharides and why focusing on your gut health can help heal other systems in your body.    Dr. Alexis Cowan is a Princeton-trained PhD specializing in the metabolic physiology of nutritional and exercise interventions. She works with clients to support them in all aspects of their journey to health, from diet and nutraceuticals to exercise and lifestyle.    What we discuss: 00:03:05 The differences between keto, fasting, and high carb 00:10:35 The 3 ingredients of the gut reset protocol 00:17:48 The difference between probiotics and probiotics  00:25:45 Supplementing with Butyrate 00:32:51 SIBO and the gut reset protocol 00:37:20 How eating apple peels can be transformative for your gut health 00:44:59 The crowning glory of the gut protocol: apple peel powder   00:49:25 How inflammation affects different aspects of human health  00:59:18 Layer Origin and human milk oligosaccharides  01:01:50 Why it’s important to focus on your gut health first  Key Takeaways: Your gut health is connected to the health of every organ in your body, which is why it is so important to be proactive about your gut health instead of reactive. Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) were originally discovered in human breast milk, and they're known to feed specific species of bacteria in the gut, mainly within the family of bifidobacteria.   The gut reset protocol can be used to optimize bifidobacteria and akkermansia, which can ultimately heal the gut and reduce inflammatory status in both the gut and the entire body.   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 Find more from Dr. Alexis Cowan: www.layerorigin.com  https://www.facebook.com/LayerOrigin https://www.youtube.com/layeroriginnutrition https://www.instagram.com/layer_origin/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/layerorigin/   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Layer Origin: Use discount code NAT15 to get 15% off at www.layerorigin.com Primeadine: Use promo code BIONAT15 to save 15% off your first purchase at https://oxfordhealthspan.com/products/best-spermidine-supplement Berkeley Life: Register and place an order using my code NIDDBL for 10% off at berkeleylife.com Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% off at https://www.mitopure.com/

Research, equipment, and protocols are the three things that differentiate this method of blood flow restriction training from the others…    My guest this week is Steven Munatones, CEO & Co-founder of KAATSU Global, Inc. In this episode, Steven and I discuss how KAATSU differs from other blood flow restriction products, how KAATSU can be effective for pain management, and the benefits of using KAATSU to increase athletic performance. We also get a little deeper into some of the protocols, and discuss different use cases.   Steven Munatones has launched new products, services and technologies in the U.S. over the last 20 years. At TOTO Frontier, he licensed TOTO's sanitary ware technologies outside of Japan. At RealLiveSports, he designed and marketed the ESPN Play by Play, a 2006 Toy of the Year. At Aruze Gaming America, he launched hybrid slot machine reel technology in the gaming industry. The Harvard graduate and certified KAATSU Master Instructor co-founded KAATSU Global with Dr. Sato, the Japanese inventor of KAATSU, to introduce next-generation KAATSU equipment.   What we discuss: 00:01:02 The distinction between KAATSU and other blood flow restriction products  00:07:53 The origins of KAATSU  00:11:47 The body’s hormonal response to blood flow restriction  00:19:21 How KAATSU is supporting brain health  00:22:22 Why amputees can benefit from using KAATSU 00:32:07 Using KAATSU to manage arthritis and joint pain 00:40:48 The benefits of using KAATSU for athletic performance 00:58:57 How KAATSU can help build muscle mass 01:03:04 The best place for people to go for different types of protocols   Key Takeaways: KATSUU is a Japanese word made out of two characters: “additional” and “pressure”. While we refer to these devices as “blood flow restriction” devices, the goal of KAATSU is to provide additional pressure to allow blood to flow into the small areas in your capillaries normally, and then slow it down temporarily. There are several different ways you can use KAATSU to improve performance, including using it for warm up, for peak performance, and in the constant mode. Each of those applications has a different impact on your physiology. Since most of the hormonal release of the human body happens while we’re asleep, using a very light application of KAATSU can help you fall into REM sleep quicker.

My guest this week is Dr. Rand McClain of Regenerative and Sports Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Rand McClain and I discuss stem cells, epigenetics, blood sugar and regenerative medicine as a whole. Dr. Rand shares some patient stories of reversal of arthritis and even MS symptoms in people. We discuss the cutting edge modalities you may have been wondering about or even heard multiple contradictory viewpoints on and he sets the record straight.  Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the youngest senior account manager in Deloitte’s history, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the “status quo”.  Dr. Rand’s patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments he specializes in. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy to cryotherapy, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health.   What is Discussed: [01:30] What is regenerative medicine?.. [03:50] Blood sugar and overall health… [06:30] Let's talk about epigenetics… [10:54] How does gene editing work?.. [17:20] It is not too late.

My guest this week is Jim Law - CEO, Co-Founder of BioCharger & Jim Girard - Inventor and Head of Research & Development of BioCharger. In this episode, Jim Law, Jim Girard and I discuss the BioCharger. BioCharger is a health optimization platform designed to transmit energy that stimulates and invigorates the body to optimize and improve potential health, wellness, and athletic performance. It does this by using light, voltage, PEMF’s, frequencies and harmonics. The BioCharger truly is the only health optimization platform of its kind. I was lucky enough to experience the BioCharger at the Upgraded Labs Conference and it really is a one of a kind experience. I found not only myself, but others flocking to it like moths to a flame.  Jim Law has served as a managing member of Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC since co-founding the firm in 2013. With a focus on strategy and business development, Jim’s entrepreneurial track record includes founding/co-founding two prior start-ups that implemented innovative and disruptive technology based solutions that changed the way their respective industries did business. Both firms were sold to public companies (Siemens and Comfort Systems USA) and were successfully integrated into these firms’ product and service offerings. Prior to starting his own businesses, Jim held executive positions in the technology world at companies such as Apple Computer and NeXT. Jim is married with 4 children and living in Orleans, MA. Jim Girad brings more than 25 years of subtle energy research and development experience to the team, which led to the introduction of the original BioCharger concept in 1993. In 1988, Jim was privileged to have studied under Dr. Orville Fitz, a protégé of Nikola Tesla which led to Jim’s experimentation with Tesla coil and multiple wave oscillation (MWO) technologies. He then experimented with combining various noble and Inert gas filled tubes to incorporate the visible light spectrum, and applied the concept of pulsing frequencies from Rife and Lakhovsky to form a unique and hybrid subtle energy platform. In a few short years, his company Advanced Technology Concepts (ATC) had accomplished what no others previously had by discovering how to unlock the benefits of multiple subtle energies simultaneously and wirelessly.Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC acquired ATC in 2013 and Jim is a now a lead on the BioCharger NG product development team.    What is Discussed: [09:00] The start of BioCharger… [14:00] How Jim Law got involved with Jim Girard… [19:27] What is the Biocharger and how does it work?.. [34:50] The importance of vibration… [38:45] Is the BioCharger comparable to multiple devices in one?.. [48:20] Do different tissues respond to different frequencies?.. [56:10] BioCharger and inflammation… [60:10] Collecting data on the biocharger and how it affects the body…   Favorite Quotes: Six in ten adults have some form of chronic disease. The only way our body can heal, recover, repair itself is regeneration.   Find More From Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/462749384302295 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Work with Nat: Book Your 20 MInute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 MightyNetworks Membership Community: https://natniddam.squarespace.com/bsp-community   Find more from guest: Website: https://biocharger.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/biochargerng/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/biochargerNG/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/biochargerng  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/biochargerng   About the Sponsors: BioCharger: Use code NAT500 for 500 off at https://biocharger.com/ BiOptimizers: Save 10% off Sleep Breakthrough with code BIONAT10 at sleepbreakthrough.com/bionat Profound Health: Use code Longevity15 for 15% off your first order at https://profound-health.com/

My guest this week is Caroline Alan, Mineral Enthusiast, Co-Founder & CEO of BEAM Minerals. In this episode, Caroline and I discuss minerals/electrolytes. Caroline talks about how fulvic and humic minerals in their bioavailable ionic format can offer an array of health benefits. Besides water the rest of our bodies are mostly composed of minerals. It makes sense why these minerals offer such amazing health benefits. Minerals in their natural form offer a full spectrum of electrolytes, micronutrients, amino acids and vitamins. We talk about all the things minerals can help with from energy levels to detoxing from heavy metals. Caroline Alan is a health survivor and mineral enthusiast. Coming from a career in the corporate world, like many, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally and energetically.  As a result of her journey back to health, Caroline has become devoted to educating people about how minerals operate in the body, why we need to supplement our mineral intake and the benefits of plant-based mineral supplementation.    Caroline is a regular contributor to Podcasts and health-focused events and programs around the world.

'Ultimate' as in building resilience because we all know life happens and we can hit health snags! Dr. Grace shares many clinical pearls that she teaches her clients and practitioners at her Institute on how to navigate the terrain and bounce back quickly. We talk all about the microbiome; effect of mental health (the overlooked gut-heart connection), testing, should you rotate probiotics, specific foods that feed the good microbes, fecal microbial transplants (FMT) caveats plus an alternative option, and probiotic supplementation–the many good strains of bacteria, common causes of dysbiosis, and some potentially harmful strains that may be hiding in your probiotic that you want to avoid.  Dr. Liu also has a passion for peptides–sharing how she uses peptides in addition to probiotics and other targeted therapeutics to support gut health at her Institute, what is the preferred method of administration for the best bioavailability of peptides, favorite go-to peptides for various conditions, and how to stack peptides with other therapies.   Learn more about Dr. Grace, products, and state-of-the-art trainings for both the health advocate and practitioners here —and for purchases, including courses, use discount code NAT10 at checkout!   ------     Episode Sponsors Oxford HealthSpan brings us Primeadine, which upregulates autophagy and mitophagy, helps the immune system to rejuvenate plus it protects DNA and supports deep sleep, hair skin and nails!  It’s a staple in my supplement stack!

My guest this week is Kent Holtorf, M.D. of Holtorf Medical. In this episode, Dr. Holtorf and I discuss how his clinic treats complex conditions such as lyme, mold, shingles and other chronic illnesses. Could it be that there is a more simple way of treating them than we think? What to treat first with chronically ill people, especially when they are incredibly sensitive? Dr. Holtorf addresses the importance of the immune system from a different perspective than most, specifically the thymus gland. Can you be sick if your thymus is working at an optimal level? How does the immune system get out of balance? How does mitochondrial dysfunction fit into chronic conditions? What is human transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and why is it important? What peptides are the best for various conditions? These are just a few of the many topics we discuss.

My guests this week are Dr. Eric Laarakker & Dolf Zantinge of Analemma. In this episode we discuss possibly the most important molecule to life, water, and the critical role of structured or “coherent” water. Did you know water is actually quite sensitive? Think about how much it can absorb from life-supportive minerals to toxic contaminants, to sound, or how easily it changes states from a solid to gas. Why does the structure of water matter? How does water become unstructured? How does the structure of water affect hydration? Do toxins like glyphosate and 5G disrupt water structure? We talk about all of this, and if this sounds hippy-dippy, it’s not.  So before you nix the idea of water structure playing a vital role in sustaining all life on earth from supporting healthy brainwaves to reversing biological age and more beyond benefiting just humans–the soil, plants and animals too, take a listen to this simple, elegant solution to restructure water, backed by research, it may just have you thirsty for more…   Learn more about Anelemma here and use: NAT10 for 10% off.

My guest this week is Caleb Greer, FNP-C. This is one of the most anticipated episodes! Caleb (he’s a favorite in this community!) and I discuss the hot topic, GLP-1 agonists! Caleb breaks down what is a GLP-1 agonist, what are Semaglutides (Ozempic) and the new predecessor, GLP-1 agonist, Tirzepatide, a class of peptide that is being touted as the closest to a fat loss holy grail in a long time!  Could Tirzepatide be a magical support for fat loss? Before you race to get it, there are very important pieces to learn on dosing and side effects/”black box warnings” because as we all know, there are no free passes in life… Caleb compares these two drugs, discusses patient results, the promising benefits for high cholesterol, who is eligible, health challenges with PPIs and what to supplement, and foundations needed to be successful in any weight loss journey, because long-term health is never just, “a pill for every ill”!  Learn more about Caleb at www.daseinhealth.org     ------     Episode Sponsors Mitopure from Timeline Nutrition is a scientific breakthrough for our cells, Urolithin A.

My guest this week is Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, PhD. of Prodrome Sciences. In this episode, Dr. Goodenowe and I discuss plasmalogens; what are plasmalogens, the fascinating research and case studies around antiaging and quicker recovery, why plasmalogens decline with age, the connection between myelination and brain development, various conditions plasmalogens can support; particularly in degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, MS, Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions, and how you can improve your plasmalogen levels through diet and supplementation.  Dr. Goodenowe does an incredible job of breaking down the science of APOE genetic variations and the importance of cholesterol, as well as if it is possible to prevent TBI’s. I’m incredibly excited about the use of plasmalogens–not just for recovery, general cognition, and longevity, but also for the potential to support prevention and addressing of so many common debilitating conditions from autism to Alzheimer’s, cancer, and more. Plasmalogens are found in various areas of the body and they account for about 20% of our brain’s total weight, peaking in our 30s and 40s, but substantially declining by our 70s.  The good news is we can restore levels (and also test).

My guest this week is Suzanne F. Turner, MD. Did you know we can learn a lot from the many standard labs conventional practitioners run once we tweak the ranges and look at the whole picture?  Dr. Suzanne is the perfect doctor to discuss conventional and functional testing options. We take a very comprehensive approach to discussing blood work and all the ideal lab ranges; everything your primary care physician should be routinely testing for, along with additional tests to request should you need further analysis. We touch on all the foundational tests, starting with cholesterol/lipids panel, blood sugar, inflammation markers, liver health, CBC, CMP, and thyroid. Then go more in depth with tests for aging, genetics, micronutrients, disease markers, and more.  We also talk about our favorite topics of epigenetics and peptides–for weight loss, gut health, and many other ways Dr. Turner uses peptides (she’s quite the expert in peptides and regenerative medicine!).  This conversation is jam packed with information, so make sure to have a pen ready and save it for future reference when you need a refresher before your next doctor’s visit!    Learn more about Dr. Turner at https://vinemedical.com/   Follow Dr. Turner: Instagram YouTube     ------     Episode Sponsors Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels—a vital molecule made in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation.

My guest this week is Freddie Kimmel. In this episode, Freddie and I discuss the body’s self correcting ability to heal, how the body functions through various vibrational frequencies, and many complementary tools to accelerate healing, including red light, BAMF, AmpCoil and others.  Many of us in the biohacking world tend to be chronic over fixers–We want to buy all the latest products and peptides in hopes of magical fixes and achieving the ultimate optimization. Freddie’s message is refreshing–he has a balanced and beautiful view on healing after going through his own hero’s journey that he shares with us. He reminds us that even though we have so many tools at our disposal, and yes he chose to supplement expensive gadgets along the way, that much of healing and health is internal work, and for most, the biggest needle mover in healing is often free. Along with addressing lifestyle and diet, he shares tips and mindset shifts on how we can be better in control of our health and bodies; almost everything is within our control if we can get our mind on board!  Learn more about AmpCoil, and use code NAT99 for a discount        Follow freddie www.Freddiesetgo.com https://ampcoil.com/ Instagram       Episode Sponsors Nootopia - Every formula is customized for you based on your strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and formulated by the most advanced brain chemistry nootropics formulator alive today.

My guest this week is Eileen Durfee of Creatrix Solutions. In this episode, Eileen and I discuss all the questions you could possibly have about the healing powers of ozone. Are you looking to reduce your toxic load? Have chronic Candida or chronic infection? Are you worried about getting sick from contaminated foods? What about wanting more energy? Ozone has gotten a bad rap over the years because it’s misused and misunderstood. Simply put, ozone is made up of 3 oxygen atoms (O3) and has a myriad of beneficial uses for humans and the planet. Not only does it have the ability to selectively kill harmful microbes in the bloodstream and boost the body's immune system, but is also used safely in most industries and can even be used in home gardening and “healthy” sanitization (aka no superbugs here)!  In this episode, we cover it all, plus myths, the science of why ozone works, usage and safety tips. And for a limited time, my listeners will receive a discount off any of Creatrix Solutions’ fabulous ozone products using code OZONE15 through September 30, 2022.       Follow Eileen Durfee  https://creatrixsolutions.com/ Instagram       Episode Sponsors Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels—a vital molecule made in the body, responsible for vasodilation and circulation.

My guest this week is Dr. Nathan S. Bryan. In this episode, Dr. Bryan and I discuss nitric oxide and nitric oxide supplementation, including the new lozenges and topical line. Dr. Bryan is not only part of the brains behind Berkley Life (we all LOVE!), but also NO2U. As an expert studying NO for so long, he is a go-to resource for any questions. We start out explaining the foundations: What is nitric oxide, what are the functions in the body, why do we need optimal levels and why are nitric oxide levels so low in humans. Then we move into how diet and lifestyle affect nitric oxide levels, and of course, how to increase nitric oxide levels naturally. If you want to stack on nutraceuticals, he answers how much you should take, when to take it, and in what forms.  And that’s just the surface of what we covered!  Dr. Bryan shares about their fascinating research in long-haulers, prevention, clinical trials, post-surgery recovery, and upcoming pharmaceutical approvals. And stay to the end when we talk about skin repair and bringing on the youthful glow in a new cosmetic category they have brought to the market.   Learn more about Dr. Bryan at https://drnathansbryan.com   Follow Dr. Nathan S.

My guest this week is Ariel Garten, Co-Founder and CEO of Muse. In this episode, Ariel and I discuss the new version of Muse. It is wearable technology using a brain-sensing headband that provides real-time biofeedback to help you meditate, focus, recover, and sleep. Muse is what you get when you mix meditation with neuroscience. Struggle with meditation? Have a monkey mind? Always think you are doing meditation wrong? Muse can literally hear when your mind is wondering or focused and helps you get back or stay on track. Losing focus during the middle of your workday? A quick session with muse can reset your focus by bringing your body and mind back into a flow state. Are you unable to fall asleep, stay asleep or insomnia keeping you awake all night?  Muse is your “digital sleeping pill”, where it is able to sense when you are starting to come out of sleep and gently guides you back. It has the same sleep quality technology used in sleep labs, so it’s no wonder why labs are using Muse to track and support their sleep patients.

My guest this week is Dr. Scott of Troscriptions. In this episode, Dr. Scott and I discuss methylene blue, nicotine, CBD and of course Troscriptions products as a whole. Methylene Blue is one of the most powerful mitochondrial optimizers, boosting energy levels, enhancing memory, improving focus, protecting the brain, and even works as an anti-infectious aid. Dr. Scott dispels some of the myths going around about methylene blue and why they are bogus. We touch on dosing and why his products are designed with a particular type of delivery method making them highly absorbable and more bioavailable. The applications for methylene blue might surprise you. For instance, it’s just as effective for improving focus as it is anti-infectious. There are different ways to use methylene blue depending on your goals. Are you wanting to improve focus? Calm down at the end of the day, or need something to get you back on track post viral infection? Methylene blue can help!  Are there contraindications? Sure. We discuss who should not take methylene blue. We also discuss side effects for particular subsets of people.

My guest this week is Dr. Lauc of GlycanAge! In this episode, Dr. Lauc and I discuss the GlycanAge test. This test can help you understand aging due to lifestyle. This test can also help you determine if you may be developing disease. Not a lot of people know about or pay attention to glycans but it turns out they are very involved in your projected longevity. How do I live longer? How do I improve longevity? The GlycanAge test can help. Learn how glycans work in the body and why glycans are important. Glycans are greatly affected by a persons lifestyle choices. If you eat well, get enough sleep, move your body regularly, and have healthy ways of dealing with stress, your GlycanAge is probably 20 years younger than your biological age! Hormones also effect GlycanAge. Dr. Lauc talks about hormone studies in men and women where their GlycanAge was drastically effected depending on how defecient or normal their hormone levels were. Finally, we discuss how a persons GlycanAge might affect their risk for severe COVID symptoms. Learn more about GlycanAge here at and use code NAT for 15% off.

My guest this week is Christian Drapeau MSc. In this episode, Christian and I discuss stem cells. Specifically the question … how can we support or stimulate the release of our own adult stem cells in our own bone marrow so that we can put more in circulation without having to take them out and inject them? Christian differentiates between the many different kinds of stem cells, explains how stem cells are produced, where in the body they are stored, how they work in the body, and how we can protect them.    We also briefly discuss the powerful ingredients, sea buckthorn berry and blue-green algae, in a supplement called Stemregen.

My guest this week is Jason Earle CEO & Founder of GOT MOLD In this episode, Jason and I discuss mold, VOC’s and the importance of having clean air in our indoor environment. Jason answers a lot of common questions in this episode like how do you know if you have mold? How do you test for mold? Can you always smell mold? Are all forms of mold dangerous? Can mold grow in a new house or building? What are some symptoms of mold toxicity?  We spend most of our time indoors, it’s where we work, sleep, and recover. The way houses are quickly and cheaply produced these days has made many of us susceptible to illness from our indoor environment. It may seem overwhelming, but Jason has developed a cost effective way to test for mold and has some simple tricks for keeping indoor air as clean as possible.

My guest this week is Dr. William Pawluk In this episode, Dr. Pawluk and I discuss Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy. We talk about many different aspects of PEMFs, how PEMFs increase ATP, how PEMFs can be used for acute or chronic illness, what sets PEMFs apart from the other electromagnetic fields, which PEMF device might be right for you, and so much more. Dr. Pawluck talks about his experience with PEMF frequency, intensity and waveform (and which ranks highest in importance). Interestingly, when therapies like peptides, acupuncture, nutrition, etc. are given alongside PEMF, the effects of the PEMF therapy are even more pronounced.  If you enjoyed this episode you may also want to read his latest book, Supercharge Your Health With PEMFs. It is the most comprehensive book ever written about PEMF therapy and all its benefits. It provides detailed, practical advice on how to use PEMF therapy to obtain the most effective results. Podcast Offers: Learn more about PEMF visit https://www.drpawluk.com/ and use discount code "functionalnp"  Episode Sponsor: Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is made naturally in the body, helping to relax the walls of blood vessels and promoting healthy circulation. However, stress, age and environmental factors can inhibit your body's ability to make enough of it. When Nitric Oxide is low, your body loses that natural circulatory boost, which not only impacts your cardiovascular system, but also other key systems that rely on the circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients.  Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. Their two-capsule daily dose has the dietary nitrate equivalent to 5 oz of spinach or 7 oz of beetroot!

My guest this week is R Blank of Shield Your Body. In this episode, R and I discuss EMF’s or electromagnetic fields. There are many forms of EMF, the kind we are talking about are non-ionizing forms of EMF - referred to as radio frequency or microwave, used for wireless communication. These kinds of EMFs are over 1 trillion times higher in a city than what is found in nature. While EMFs help us to advance greatly in the world of technology and communication it comes at a cost. There are several known health risks associated with the levels of EMF that we are exposed to in our homes, cities, schools, and jobs.  Thankfully there are things we can do in our daily routine to help mitigate some of the health risks and there are products that we can use to help us use technology in a safer way.  Learn more about R Blank and Shield Your Body Products at https://www.shieldyourbody.com/ and use my code Longevity for %15 off.   Sponsor Offer: Oxford HealthSpan brings us Primeadine, the best formulated Spermidine supplement on the market!  What makes it stand out – it includes Spermine & Putrescine two other Polyamines that work hand in hand with Spermidine PLUS FOS, a prebiotic to feed the bacteria in your gut that make Spermidine!  I take Spermidine daily as do my family and my clients – it has become a solid member of my “foundation stack”.  Research has shown that Spermidine upregulates autophagy, helps the immune system to rejuvenate and it protects DNA – visible benefits experienced by myself and my clients include better sleep, hair, skin and nails!

My guest this week is Craig Koniver, MD In this episode, Craig Koniver, MD, and I discuss mental health, COVID, and of course his specialty NAD+. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a vital coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It is involved in hundreds of cellular processes. NAD+ can be used to slow aging, enhance energy levels, minimize drug withdrawal, and more. It improves our resistance to stress, improves energy metabolism, protects our genome, is neuroprotective, and improves insulin sensitivity.

My guest this week is Beth Shirley, RPh, CCN In this episode, Beth Shirley, (Executive Director of the Scientific Advisory Board for Berkeley Life) and I discuss Nitric Oxide and the plethora of conditions it can help with from infections to mast cell issues. Beth talks about one single compound that can help with inflammation, sexual health, brain fog, mast cell reactivation syndrome, depression, anxiety, heart disease, gut health, and so much more. We are talking about nitric oxide. Although our bodies should adequately produce this molecule, due to aging and the many environmental stressors we are now exposed to, many of us are depleted. Everything from day-to-day stress, to EMF exposure, and poor lifestyle habits can deplete nitric oxide. Beth Shirley covers a wide range of nitric oxide (NO) topics such as why we need NO, how we become deficient, how to test NO levels, how to supplement NO so the body can get back to optimal programming.

My guest this week is Cameron George of TRU KAVA. In this episode, Cameron and I discuss his long journey to find his health and how Kava helped him heal. We cover frequently asked questions about Kava such as what kind of Kava is best, how to dose Kava, can you overdose with Kava, why do people use Kava, is Kava addicting, and more.   Learn more about Kava and purchase Kava at https://gettrukava.com/ and use discount code nat15 for 15% off Cameron shares his all too familiar story of a young and healthy individual whose health, all of the sudden, seems to betray them. He dealt with brain fog, memory loss, depression, multiple chemical sensitivities, severe gut issues, seizures, extreme reactions to food and water, and debilitating fatigue. He had tried many different western and alternative medicine options. So many things promise to be the panacea but did not help. Once he tried treating multiple systems at once, he started to make progress. The use of Kava in combination with other therapies made the biggest difference. Kava has mild entheogenic effects similar to psilocybin. Kava promotes calm, focus, interconnectivity, mental clarity, and so much more. In many cultures it’s used as a community drink much like alcohol is in our culture. Kava is non-addictive and does not throw your body out of balance as alcohol does.  One of the main objectives people have about kava is the potential liver damage we hear about. Cameron covers the reasons why that is not an issue especially with the whole plant synergistically like it was traditionally meant to be used. Many people know that with CBD they react better when using a full spectrum product so it makes sense it would be the same with Kava. Episode SponsorThanks to our Episode Sponsor BiOptimizers.

My guest this week is Arthur Menard Founder of Lambs. In this episode, Arthur and I discuss the harmful effects of EMF radiation and the healthful effects of Lambs EMF-Proof Clothing. Most of us think about what we put in and on our body, but we don’t always think about the environmental threats to our health. We suffer a significant amount of cell damage from EMF radiation that comes from cell phones, laptops, cars, airpods, wireless anything, smart devices, computers, airplanes, microwaves and more! Learn more about LAMBS EMF protective clothing at https://bit.ly/LAMBSBSP and use discount code LONGEVITY for 15% off. Arthur defines EMF”s and explains how EMF radiation affects our cells specifically. Once you understand the mechanism, it makes a whole lot more sense why we should be concerned about it. EMF creates free radicals, free radicals put us at risk for oxidative stress. When our bodies are in a state of stress 24/7 they can’t thrive or help us fight off any other illnesses that threaten our immune system. Arthur also gives us some insight into EMF research. Research shows that EMF radiation affects people in different ways. About 4% of the population is extremely affected by EMF radiation where the rest of us can’t really feel or see the damage until it’s too late because it has a cumulative effect. Reports of infertility, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes have all been linked to this kind of radiation.  This is where LAMBS or EMF-Proof Clothing comes in. We often choose to ignore the evidence because there isn’t any easy solution and we REALLY like technology! Let’s face it, technology isn’t going anywhere. So the wonderful thing about this health-enhancing apparel is that in early research it has shown to improve HRV, sleep, and overall stress on our bodies. EMF clothing can’t turn your health around on its own, it’s important to eat healthy, find ways to lower stress, get a good amount of sleep and keep your body moving.

My guest this week is Adrienne Jezick, Co-Founder Morozko Forge, Master Deliberate Cold Exposure (DCE) Guide. In this episode, Adrienne shares an all-too-familiar story of a major battle with autoimmunity to the point where she thought she was dying. Low and behold, she tried one natural therapy for autoimmunity after another until she noticed that ice baths, or deliberate cold exposure therapy, made the biggest impact. While an anti-inflammatory diet was also helpful, ice bath’s opened her eyes to a totally new world of healing autoimmunity naturally. Ice baths have the power to heal chronic and acute conditions and can be a complementary therapy for many other diseases. We encourage you to comb through the clinical research out there.  Perhaps one of the biggest deterrents for deliberate cold exposure is the fear of discomfort. That’s normal. Adrienne speaks with us today with full confidence that we can, with the right guidance, be someone who tolerates and benefits from ice baths.  Today’s episode will help you understand how to prepare for deliberate cold exposure, how long to stay in an ice bath, who should NOT try ice baths, what kind of breathwork is helpful for ice baths, contrast therapy, and how often you should do ice baths. And of course, what to do if you don’t have access to a place that has ice baths.

My guest this week is Suzanne F. Turner, MD of Vine Medical. In this episode, Dr. Turner and I discuss why the common treatments for depression are not always the needed treatments for depression. Depression can be rooted in SO many different health issues that are treatable which is why jumping straight to Prozac and other antidepressants is premature. We discuss treating depression with nutrition, hormone therapy, peptides, eliminating certain medications, addressing trauma, and so much more. This is not to say that antidepressants aren’t needed at all. They can be helpful for some people however it is more important to treat the potential root causes of depression first, if more support is needed, then antidepressants can be warranted.   Learn more about Dr. Turner at Vine Medical Associates here.

Are you looking to achieve metabolic flexibility? This is the episode for you then!   In this week’s episode, Nathalie talks to Daniel Tal about the Lumen device. Lumen measures metabolism in a single breath, in less than a minute, instead of an hour-long test in a lab. The technology uses CO2 from the breath to calculate whether the user is burning fats, carbs or some combination of the two – it then interfaces with an app to provide guidance and feedback with the goal of supporting users in developing “metabolic flexibility”. This is the perfect episode for those who are health focused, but don’t want to do a hardcore diet like Keto.   Meet This Week's Guest Daniel Tal! Daniel is a seasoned entrepreneur, co-founder, and CEO of Lumen, a company developing consumer nutrition management platform, based on a small device that measures metabolism in a single breath and provides personalized food, lifestyle, and health recommendations.   Episode Sponsor:  Oxford Healthspan manufactures the top Spermidine Supplement on the market – Primeadine.  Primeadine is a food-based supplement with an extremely high safety profile that halts 6 of the 9 hallmarks of aging.  It is the purest in the market, with zero fillers and a formulation that also supports the endogenous production of spermidine through a prebiotic.

He followed this up with a Fellowship at the Dutch School for Mushroom Growers in 1973 that gave Jeff a much broader outlook on the mushroom industry and influenced his future path. After 10 years of commercial mushroom growing experience, Jeff co-authored and published the classic, bestselling book on small-scale mushroom cultivation, The Mushroom Cultivator. That same year he moved his family to British Columbia to start a mushroom spawn laboratory and a small speciality mushroom growing facility.  In 1989 Jeff made his first trip to China to attend the International Society for Mushroom Science’s (ISMS) conference in Nanjing where he discovered the depth of mushroom knowledge and production capacity that China offered. The relationships Jeff built over the next 10 years laid the foundation that made Nammex a leader in the new category of health promoting mushrooms.   Nammex serves the B to B industry while Real Mushrooms, led by Skye Chilton (Jeff’s son) serves the consumer with powerful supplements and extracts.   To find out more about Jeff and Nammex visit https://www.nammex.com/   To purchase top quality mushroom supplements and extracts go to: https://www.realmushrooms.com/ Promo Code:  Longevity15 to save 15% off your purchase   Key Takeaways [02:40] About Jeff Chilton and how he became the mushroom guy...

This episode is the second of a two-part series on Primeadine: a new healthy aging Spermidine supplement that is already getting rave reviews.  Spermidine is a potent polyamine, known for inducing autophagy or cellular renewal.  As we age, our bodies are getting slower and slower in the production of spermidine leaving us more reliant on exogenous sources be they food or supplementation.  Supplementation with spermidine in humans has been shown to support cognition and heart health, balance hormones and improve hair growth and fullness (including eyelashes),  strengthening nails.  Spermidine also positively impacts five of the nine hallmarks of aging including: misfolded proteins (impaired proteostasis), epigenetic changes, mitochondrial dysfunction, stem cell dysfunction, impaired cellular communication. Amy Lamotte is a fellow biohacker and in this episode, she shares her amazing hacks and simple and effective techniques that anyone can follow. We talk about the benefits of Spermidine, its mechanisms, and how it induces autophagy. She also shares about how she hacked her autoimmune disease, treating it and reversing it herself through diet, supplementation and testing. You shouldn’t miss this episode. Listen in!   Meet this week’s guest: Amy Lamotte is the Managing Director of Vallotte Nutrigenomics Limited in Hong Kong. She is a clinical nutritionist and researcher specializing in personalized nutrition, nutritional biochemistry, nutrigenetics, and nutrigenomics. Other areas of interest include anti-aging, circadian biology, and the microbiome. She has a Master’s of Science in Human Nutrition (summa cum laude) from the University of Bridgeport and a J.D. from Yale Law School.

Everything You Need to Know About BPC 157 and its Practical Application in Anti-Aging, Muscle Growth and Health in General Jean-Francois Tremblay is an anti-aging expert and the owner of CanLab in Montreal, Quebec and a regular guest. In this episode, we dive deep into BPC 157, an incredibly versatile peptide that seems to have a positive effect on virtually every major system in the body.    There are a plethora of different aspects of human healing that BPC 157 can assist with - from gut healing to healing of wounds, muscle, ligament, bone and tendon repair.   It can also help to normalize blood pressure, improve brain health, ease withdrawal from alcohol and much more.   Although there is no one peptide that can do all the work on its own,  BPC 157 is one of the ones that may come the closest.   It's one of a few peptides that in certain conditions can deliver results almost before people make significant changes to anything else. At this time most of the published research on BPC 157 is still mostly animal studies but we are gradually seeing an increase in human research - we still have much to learn but in this episode, we spend some time exploring what we do know and have seen. Meet this week’s guest: Jean-François Tremblay is a frequent guest on this podcast.  He is the founder and owner of Canlab - a lab in Montreal that synthesizes high quality peptides.  Jean-Francois studied Exercise Physiology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacy at UQAM.  He has been researching (in theory and in practice) peptides and SARMS since the 90’s and has been studying the theoretical basis of what peptides are and their practical applications in sports performance, anti-aging, and health in general.  Key Highlights: 4:32 What is BPC 157? 5:57 Does BPC 157 really work? 7:18 Using BPC 157 for gastric ulcers 8:08 BPC 157's effect on growth hormone receptors 9:11 How BPC 157 supports angiogenesis 14:11 Talking about cholesterol 16:35 Applications for Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis 18:09 BPC 157 for repairing ligaments 18:59 How it normalizes blood pressure, vs lowering it 24:48 Nerve regeneration 25:29 It improves alcohol intoxication 26:51 Kidney support 27:54 The stability of BPC 157 and other peptides after reconstitution 29:19 Peptides that are used in cancer research 32:46 How fast does BPC 157 break down when we ingested? 34:47 Is BPC 157 bioavailable taken sublingually? 40:33 Tricks for using  BPC 157 on an empty stomach 40:55 It resists more than we would predict with the digestive tract Connect with Jean-François Tremblay: Canlabsciences.com Promo Code: Niddam10 Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for information purposes only, none of the information is to be taken or used as medical advice.  Before making any changes to your lifestyle, supplementation or nutrition please consult with your medical provider.

In this episode I deep dive into the fascinating world of ketone esters with Frank Llosa one of the most passionate entrepreneurs you will meet.  By now, most of us have heard of the ketogenic diet – at its center are 3 fascinating molecules called Ketones – in this case, we are talking about beta hydroxybutyrate or BHB.  While it is often talked about as a fuel source, it turns out the BHB is so much more than that as it is also an important signalling molecule that has wide ranging benefits to the human body.  Ketone Esters are known for tasing awful and costing a small fortune but through utter dedication Frank has managed to make them palatable and more affordable in order to make this important compound accessible to more people including researchers who are still uncovering the many ways they can benefit human health.   Links https://shop.ketoneaid.com Use Promo Code Longevity to save on shipping!

Dr Nichola Conlon from Nuchido talks about why simply taking NAD is not enough to solve your NAD deficiency.  Have you ever asked yourself why NAD levels go down as we age? After all, our cells are built to recycle NAD - so why on earth is everyone so deficient?  In this episode I dig deep into the issues of NAD deficiencies due to aging or disease and, TIME+  a supplement that may just provide the missing link in restoring youthful NAD levels.   To try TIME+ for yourself: Nuchido.com  Promo Code:  Longevity10 saves you 10%   Episode Notes: 4:51 All about Nichola, she looks 22 but definitely isn’t, she has an 11 year old daughter.
