HealthCast Now - The Intersection of Health, Wellness & Circadian Optimization

Dr. Lane Sebring, founder of Sebring Clinic, has been practicing a paleo lifestyle for years and has since established himself as one of the few doctors who believe in the concept of lifestyle changes first before drug prescriptions. He has a large patient-base and practices quite differently from most medical doctors. He promotes the idea of training but particularly resistance training when it comes to long-term health.

In part 2 of our interview, Dr. Sebring talks about the importance of movement and exercise, the benefits of resistance training, the importance of ketones, and why he thinks other doctors should try a more holistic approach to treatment.

“As we get older we start losing muscle and that doesn't have to happen.” Dr. Lane Sebring

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What sarcopenia is and why you can prevent it from happening.
• Any form of training is good but when it comes to muscle preservation, resistance training is best.
• Muscle is the metabolic currency.
• Weightlifting is one of the fastest way to change your physiology.
• Ketones are superior to sugar when it comes to energy sources.
• Pure therapeutic ketones work.

Key Takeaways:

• Sleep is not appreciated for what it offers. You get a little less awake time but that awake time is so much better than when you barely have a good night’s sleep.
• Do not overdo any form of training or you’ll end up with high levels of cortisol and will most likely force you to see a doctor.

Dr. Lane Sebring, founder of Sebring Clinic, is one of the longest practicing Paleo-based medical doctors. Like most doctors, he once practiced and preached using primarily drugs and scalpels but he knew these weren’t enough to help people achieve optimal health. He has since enriched his mind and learned all about the Paleo diet as well as how he can heal the body using our own body chemistry thru positive lifestyle changes.

In today’s episode, Dr. Sebring talks about his experience as an MD, how he transitioned towards a more holistic approach to medicine, why he thinks we should eat more fat, and his thoughts on how medicine should evolve to cope with the human condition and not the other way around.

“The idea that fat is bad for us is ludicrous, makes no sense whatsoever.” Dr. Lane Sebring

 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Sometimes the body show signs that lab tests are unable to detect.
• Medicine should learn to assess a person’s health in a manner that puts lab tests as more of a confirmation.
• The Paleo diet is the exact diet humans are designed to eat.
• Saturated fats were only bad because of misleading science.
• Coconut oil and Avocados are among the healthiest sources of fat.
• The reason most fitness enthusiasts recommends multiple meals a day is due to blood sugar spikes. A human being who regularly consumes the right amount of fat don’t have to eat as frequent as fat is a dense source of energy.
• More people are becoming aware of the benefits of grass fed beef and wild caught seafood.

Key Takeaways:

• The goal of any practitioner should be to get people off the prescription drugs and get their body working right.

Inventor, engineer and founder of NeuFit in Austin Texas Garrett Salpeter has an interesting story to share about his journey to recover from a hockey injury that resulted in the development of a highly effective and innovative muscle therapy and building device.  Known around Austin and at Neufit as "The Health Engineer," Garrett has taken his education in Physics and Engineering and applied it into a system for making the human body better.

As Garrett pursued hockey and discovered his skills lacked compared to others, he focused on strength and conditioning in an effort to compete effectively.  The results were mixed at best.  In the process of dealing with some injury problems, he learned about the critical role the nervous system played in recover, and immediately realized the connections to how the neurological principles could be applied to fitness, muscle development and growth. After some trial and error and development work, Garrett confirmed that the neurological approach worked.

Determined to learn everything he could about the nervous system, Garrett studied hundreds of articles and research papers as well as worked with mentors in the field. He opened his first facility in Austin, TX in a small room in a Chiropractic office to begin working with others and sharing his methods with his community.  Today his business has grown into the highly successful NeuFit, which combines Garrett’s advanced understanding of physiology with the best practices from diverse training and therapeutic practices, and constantly pushes these processes by using technology to accelerate them further.

Clients of NeuFit include people of all ages and in almost all situations including professional athletes. Garrett and his team focus on helping them get out of pain, improve performance, sometimes avoid surgeries and even work to rise from wheelchairs.

“Muscles only do what they’re commanded to do by the neurological signals that feed them.” – Garrett Salpeter

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• Electrostimulation is a highly effective way to enhance muscle building or recovery whether you’re a professional athlete or average person
• NeuFit’s device is not a simple rehash of the old school AC (alternating current on/off) devices that are often confused
• Electrostimulation of the nervous system can be combined with much lighter weights to get better results w/o the risk of injury
• Kevin works out one time per week with a NeuFit trainer using electrostimulation and gets equivalent of 4 workouts in terms of neural stimulation and load
• A Biohacker Event is in planning stages for Austin TX for early 2018 that will include a NeuFit training workshop.

Key Takeaway:

Muscles only do what they’re commanded to do by the neurological signals that feed them. You’re retraining the brain over the muscles.

Dominic D’Agostino is an associate professor for the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida and is also a visiting senior research scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. His experience in the field is one of the many reasons why I think he’s the foremost expert when it comes to the topic of ketosis.

In this episode, Dominic will tell us about some simple and easy to do tricks to further promote ketosis in your body as well as tell us all about exogenous ketones and how it could affect the future of fitness and supplementation.

“Exogenous ketones can be used to acutely induce nutritional ketosis and then sustain it.” Dominic D’Agostino

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The importance of sunlight and getting a good night’s rest for your body’s metabolic health and how it promotes ketosis
• The many physical and mental health benefits of exogenous ketones particularly on cancer and mental diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
• The kind of research being done on exogenous ketones and why the military is interested in it
• Just how fast can an exogenous ketone set your body up for ketosis
• How beginners and athletes alike should take exogenous ketones and when should they be taking it
• How it can prevent symptoms of hypoglycemia and still make the body and brain function optimally

Key Takeaways:

• Exogenous ketones can then be used to acutely induce nutritional ketosis and then sustain it.
• Exogenous Ketones make your brain more neurocognitively dynamic.
• Exogenous ketones help prevent “glucose withdrawal” symptoms.

Dr. Jack Kruse - Part 2 of 3

Dr. Jack Kruse is a neurosurgeon and the owner of Optimized Life, a company focused on helping people get their life back from the burdens of healthcare by way of living a healthy lifestyle. He is also what you may call a quantum clinician, someone who looks at health beyond the cellular level.

Today, Jack tells us his thoughts on the effects of light on our mitochondrial health, his opinions on emerging health gurus, and why he thinks the human body have similar functions to plants and we should capitalize on it.

"We're only as good as what we've been taught and unfortunately what we've been taught is a half-truth.” Dr. Jack Kruse

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The basis of the food web is photosynthesis.
• Light is what controls photosynthesis.
• Most progressive practitioners rely heavily on supplementation.
• Health is an n = 1 game, tied to how your mitochondria works with the light frequencies on the four surfaces of your body: eye, gut, lungs, skin.
• A supplement can make you worse depending on the state of your mitochondrial health.
• Most health gurus don't understand mitochondrial health.
• There's a connection between chlorophyll, hemoglobin, and mitochondrial function.
• Solar blue light isn't as bad as artificial blue light but there has to be context.
• Cancer happens to be the biggest deficit of energy from the mitochondria.
• Myopia and other eye diseases exists because they are manifestations of leptin resistance in the eyeball level.

Key Takeaways:

• You can't supplement the sun; the body is designed to make vitamin D from the UV rays from sunlight.
• It's better to be energy efficient on the motor side than the fuel side. A good fuel efficient engine doesn't need a tremendous fuel source to work. That's how our cells work, designed to maximize mitochondrial function.
• The best teachers in the world are those who show you the data but don't tell you what to see.

In the health and wellness world, you either know Robb Wolf or you don’t, and that’s largely due to his books on the Paleo lifestyle. His books have helped a lot of people, but he didn’t realize just how much until he got a call from a clinic in Reno. The clinic invited him over to have a look at a study they conducted which largely made use of his books as reference material.

As it turned out, the clinic was just wrapping up a 2-year pilot study that included volunteers with a high risk for Type 2 Diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases. The results showed that a paleo diet, together with proper modification of sleep and exercise, was able to improve the volunteers’ bloodwork and health risk assessment. On a long term perspective, it means this pilot study alone saved the city of Reno $22 million over a 10-yer period with a conservative 33:1 return on investment. He would end up becoming part of the clinic’s board of directors to help develop programs and bring it out to the masses.

Today, Robb share his thoughts about the Paleo and ketogenic diets, why he thinks the food manufacturers understand people more than medical establishments, and why having a healthy relationship with food is just one big cover up for something deeper and psychological.

""At the end of the day, these diseases, modern Western society mainly are an outgrowth of excessive food consumption.” Robb Wolf

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The food manufacturers understand our evolutionary psychology way better than the medical establishment does. They produce food in such a way that people can’t help but eat them even if they know it’s not healthy. It’s similar to how smart phone app makers study evolutionary psychology to make apps addictive.
• People have massively different responses to food. What's worked for you today may not work for you tomorrow.
• You can't cheat on food. You can cheat on taxes, you can cheat in a relationship, but food, there are consequences.
• Sometimes food or the act of eating is not the problem, but an underlying issue that made people saw eating food as an escape.
• The only thing considered disordered eating now is healthy eating.

Key Takeaways:

• You can't let health guidelines get etched in stone and become religious doctrine.

Dr. Brooke Kalanick - Optimized Hormone Health & Wellness for Women. Dealing with Gallbladder and Thyroid challenges - Part 2

Dr. Brooke Kalanick is a Naturopathic Doctor and a functional health practitioner. She says she’s a primary-care doctor with a specialty in alternative medicine. She and her co-practitioners aren’t like conventional doctors in that they treat patients based on history, diet, lifestyle, and lots of blood work. Her focus is towards helping women with hormonal issues, weight loss, and other issues most women experience on a day-to-day basis. 

Today, Brooke tells us what her and her practice is all about, how they differ from conventional doctors, and her own thoughts and opinions on conventional medicine and the healthcare system. 

"We mistake common for normal.” Dr. Brooke Kalanick 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• Conventional medicine is often all about treating the current symptom. What they don’t do very well is taking a look at the why of a patient’s health.  
• The body will downregulate anything that it makes once we give it a replacement. 
• Conventional practitioners aren’t trained to work the way naturopaths do. 
• Some doctors are working for insurance companies. They want to help patients but the system is broken and it doesn’t serve doctor nor the patient for them to do good medicine. It's not the conventional practitioner that doesn't want you healthy but just how the system works. 
• We think a lot of the things that happen to our bodies is normal because it’s common, because so many people do it or suffer for it, we mistake it as something that we shouldn’t be concerned about. 
• Iodine will increase autoimmune response in many people. Just because it's good for your thyroid doesn't mean it's good for the whole body. 
• Holistic doctors go more in depth when it comes to treating people's illnesses.  
• Nothing gets fixed without proper sleep. 
• Get back to doing things that nurture your body and help you and your body work together. 

Key Takeaways: 

• We have to think of our health insurance like we treat car insurance. You can have emergencies covered by health insurance but the small things aren’t; there must always be a certain level of maintenance. 
• There's no reason you should be miserable with your healthcare. Be your own advocate for getting proper care. Get to the root cause. 

• Make smarter decisions and take things seriously, don't have that "they will be time for me later" mindset. You're worth the time, attention, and finances to take care of yourself now.
