  • Dave Asprey - Circadian Wellness & Health - How to biohack your Mitochondria via Light, Nutrition and Lifestyle Choices - Part 2

    In the last episode, we had the CEO of Bulletproof Exec Dave Asprey talk about mitochondria, how much our diet affects mitochondrial functions, and how a few lifestyle changes will boost not just mitochondrial efficiency but our overall health from a cellular point of view.

    In Part of the interview, Dave will discuss different factors that may alter your mitochondrial functions in a negative way, more tips on how to further biohack your mitochondria, as well as provide general health advice.

     

    “Instead of focusing on perfection, you can just learn to ask the question ‘what is this going to do to my mitochondria?’” Dave Asprey

     

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What statins are how do they affect the mitochondria
    • Why cholesterol really isn’t bad
    • Why your mitochondrial efficiency determines the effects of the food you eat on your health
    • Why eating burned food is bad for your mitochondria
    • The significance of knowing the optimal dose of any supplement

  • Dr. Lane Sebring - Paleo Lifestyle for Optimal Health & Wellness - Part 2

    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.

  • Ben Greenfield - Hacking Testosterone, Optimized Health, Fitness & Wellness for the Athlete

    Ben Greenfield is one of the country’s most well-known personal trainers, not only due to his numerous certifications and popularity, but also due to his passion for biohacking - a concept of increasing our body’s efficiency by means of taking supplements, adjusting our diet and exercise, or making use of technology without losing focus on health and longevity.

    Today, Ben tells us his thoughts on testosterone decline, the tips and tools he uses to keep his testosterone in check without injections, as well as the different ways he maintains his body, especially when it comes to getting quality sleep.

     

    “You want to make sure everything's unplugged. Make sure your eyes can't see anything and make sure your skin can't see anything.” Ben Greenfield

     In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Once you reach 30 years of age, testosterone is said to decline at a rate of 1% a year.
    • Aside from proper nutrition, one of the most recent methods you can do to biohack your testosterone is by shining low-level laser light or infrared light on your testicles.
    • Ben says it’s better to eat buffalo or bison meat than tuna or nuts for testosterone production.
    • An herb called Cistanche acts like Viagra. It results in an increase in blood flow and libido.
    • Not wearing tight underwear (or no underwear at all) might boost testosterone due to a cooler temperature as a result of going commando.
    • PEMF or Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is able to negate the deleterious effects of waves from continuous smartphone use.
    • Chronic cardio or excess workouts may crash testosterone. Some exercises done in moderation are capable of increasing testosterone include sprinting, weight lifting particularly those largely involving legs, and HIIT or high intensity interval training.
    • For cardio, try to limit endurance training such as marathon running to once a week to preserve testosterone.
    • Sleep is also an important factor when it comes to testosterone production. Ben recommends a lot of tools you can use to get quality sleep. Some of them include essential oil diffusers, a full/wrap-around face mask, and even a few sleep supplements.

     

    Key Takeaways:

    • To get the best quality of sleep, you must have what we call sleep hygiene. The room must be dark, quiet, cold, and definitely not stressful.

  • Dr. Lane Sebring - Paleo Lifestyle for Optimal Health & Wellness - Part 1

    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.

  • Dr. Jack Kruse - Deep Dive - Sunshine, Blue Light & Vitamin D with Part 1

    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.

  • Robb Wolf - Wired to Eat - on moving beyond Paleo for healthy living to address weight loss, diet, Celiac and other auto-immune related health issues

    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.

  • Morley Robbins - Magnesium Deficiency and Chronic Health Challenges

    Morley Robbins Video on Iron, Magnesium etc.

    Today, our host Kevin Cottrell talks with magnesium expert Morley Robbins – aka The Magnesium Man – to demystify the confusion and misconceptions on how important magnesium is for our bodies to function properly. Morley formerly worked as a hospital executive and consultant for over 32 years and currently works as a certified health coach. He has helped over 7,000 people on a one-on-one basis.

    Morley explains how magnesium and vitamin D work in conjunction at the cellular level to maintain our heart, brain, gastrointestinal functions as well as other important areas of our body. He explains how this mineral works in our bodies and what can happen when we are not getting enough of either magnesium or vitamin D – as well as provides actionable tips on how you can check your magnesium and vitamin D levels and ways you can improve these levels to prevent various chronic health problems.

     “Most people regard minerals as ‘hood ornaments’ instead of ‘keys to start the engine’.” – Morley Robbins

     

    In This Episode You Will Learn:

    • How does magnesium affect the heart, brain, and gastrointestinal functions?
    • 45% of your metabolic function is attributed to magnesium.
    • How stress affects your magnesium levels.
    • Why a physically fit, seemingly healthy person can still experience magnesium and mineral deficiency issues.
    • The importance of vitamin D, sunlight, and how it relates to magnesium.
    • Morley’s advice for people with vitamin D deficiencies.
    • Ways to increase vitamin D naturally while balancing your circadian rhythm.
    • How stress leads to fibrosis.
    • Why you need a magnesium RBC test instead of a serum test.
    • The differences between lab magnesium ranges and healthy magnesium ranges.
    • What to do if your magnesium RBC test is out of range.
    • Common stress-inducing factors.

     

    Early Signs of Low Magnesium:

    • Regular headaches
