Benjamin Bikman earned his PH.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin in regulating obesity and diabetes, including the relevance of ketones in mitochondrial function. 

In today’s episode, Dr. Bikman and I discuss all things related to fat and how insulin plays a role in our fat storage. Dr. Bikman teaches us about the role of fat cells and metabolism when it comes to various health conditions. He teaches us why “eat less, exercise more” doesn’t work and how women store fat differently than men. In the words of Dr. Bikman, “there is literally no ability for the fat cells to either grow or proliferate and store more fat if insulin is kept at a low level”. Tune in now to learn more!

In today’s episode, Gary shares some eye-opening insights on human biology, the importance of addressing nutrient deficiencies for optimal health, and so much more. 

Gary emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing nutrient deficiencies in the body. Instead of blindly supplementing, it's crucial to understand what raw materials your body needs to function optimally. By correcting deficiencies, you can see significant improvements in your overall health and well-being.

We then discuss the significance of genetic methylation testing to identify individual deficiencies and conversion issues in the body. By understanding how our bodies process nutrients, we can tailor our supplementation to address specific needs effectively.

Gary then challenges traditional approaches to health, such as medicating the thyroid without investigating potential nutrient deficiencies or addressing the root cause of conditions like hypertension. By shifting the focus to basic human physiology and addressing deficiencies, we can potentially improve overall health outcomes.

If you've ever wondered why traditional approaches to health may be falling short, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in now to learn more about how to reach your body's full potential and live a healthier, happier life.

150 - Is Feeling Good the Enemy of Feeling Great? w/ Gary Brecka

In today’s episode, we dive into the world of biohacking and what it truly means to take control of your own biology. Biohacking involves changing both the environment around you and inside you to optimize your health and performance. It’s important to remember that biohacking is not a one-size-fits-all approach, as every body is different and your biohacking goals will depend on your individual needs and desires.

We discuss the best place to start when diving into biohacking, emphasizing that more doesn’t always mean better. It’s crucial to consider how quickly your body is able to adapt to the changes you are implementing. We also debunk some common myths about biohacking, such as the idea that cryotherapy raises cortisol levels. Furthermore, we explore the benefits of challenging yourself daily, the role of calories and fasting in biohacking, and the advantages of light therapy.

Additionally, we touch on the topic of neurofeedback and its benefits, along with practical tips on how you can begin biohacking from the comfort of your own home. Overall, biohacking is a powerful tool for taking control of your health and well-being, and in this episode, we provide valuable insights on how you can start your own biohacking journey now.

149 - Ways to Lose Weight and Feel Better with Biohacking  w/ Dave Asprey

In today’s episode, Chad and I discuss all about theranostics, a cutting-edge approach to cancer treatment that is revolutionizing the way we view and treat this disease. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, theranostics focuses on the cellular level, allowing physicians to better see and target cancer in the body with precision. By specifically honing in on cancer cells, theranostics offers a super targeted approach to not only detecting but also effectively killing cancer.

We explore the key differences between chemotherapy and theranostics, highlighting how the latter minimizes side effects by sparing healthy cells from damage. The effectiveness of theranostics in treating cancer is discussed, underscoring its potential as a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional chemotherapy. For those interested in exploring theranostics as a treatment option, practical guidance on where to start and what steps to take are also provided, shedding light on the path towards personalized and effective cancer care.
