If you were given an incurable diagnosis, how would you respond? Would you believe it and give in, or search for an alternative solution? 

In our journey towards health and wholeness, we need to remember that the answers often lie beneath the surface. And that just because someone says something is true - doesn’t mean it is!

And this week’s guest turns everything you thought you knew about health and medicine on its head. 

In this episode of Biohacking Bestie I’m joined by Dr. Terry Wahls, a physician who reversed her own autoimmune disease process with a holistic protocol. She shares how she took charge of her health by researching and targeting her mitochondria with a supplement protocol, electrical stimulation of muscles and a specialized diet based on functional medicine principles.

We also explore her challenges with the vegan diet, leading to a return to meat consumption after considering ancestral dietary patterns, her autoimmune protocol for optimal health, and the importance of questioning and tuning into how different foods make us feel.

Dr. Wahls was confined to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. She restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day. She is the author of “The Wahls Protocol”, and the cookbook “Cooking for Life”.

Did you know that one gram of algae is the nutritional equivalent to a thousand grams of fruits and vegetables?

This could be the most potent and powerful tool to add to your biohacking toolkit. 

Because algae’s been here for 3 and a half BILLION years - but most people don’t know how powerful it is, how it works, or even that it exists. 

In this episode of BioHacking Bestie I’m joined by Catharine Arnston, the algae expert, as we discuss the incredible power of this nutrient-rich, detoxifying superfood. She shares algae as a solution to modern agricultural challenges, such as soil depletion due to monocropping, which impacts the minerals and nutrients in our food. 

We also discuss algae’s impact on gut health and overall wellness, particularly for women in their 30s, and how it can remove toxins and heavy metals from the body, improve gut biome, and aid in recovery from daily stressors. From mental clarity, skin health, energy levels, reduction in biological age markers, and weight management - this really is an impressive superfood. 

Catharine is the founder and CEO of ENERGYbits - tiny “bits of nutrition” made purely of algae. She started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae - the most nutritionally dense food in the world yet it is virtually unknown outside of Asia.

Listen as we discuss…

(00:00) It’s never too late to feel great - biohacking for energy and wellness  

(11:14) Algae as a food, not a supplement

(17:39) The benefits of chlorella - the wellness algae 

(19:18) The benefits of spirulina - the energizing algae 

(25:50) The controversy of Ozempic for weight management 

(44:57) How algae has been shown to reduce biological age markers

(51:05) Algae mental clarity, skin health, energy, and weight management.

FYI: The reason you’re not able to lose weight, beat fatigue, and feel happy could be because your gut microbiome isn’t balanced. What the heck does that mean? Let’s find out!

We may believe that we are the masters of our fates, but in reality, we are at the mercy of hundreds of trillions of single-celled organisms that exert control over every aspect of how our minds and bodies function. These are the diverse species of microbes living in our guts, mouths, and skin that work together synergistically to communicate with each other and with every system in our bodies. You are your microbiome’s home, and it wants to take care of you, but first you have to protect it.

In this episode of Biohacking Bestie, I’m joined by the word renown Dr. Steven R.Gundry, MD who offers a definitive guide to the gut biome and its control over its home—us + what we can do to heal, rebalance, and optimize!

Founder of Gundry MD, Dr. Steven Gundry was one of the world's top cardiothoracic surgeons and is currently the medical director at The International Heart and Lung Institute and The Centers for Restorative Medicine in Palm Springs.
