About Today's Show: 

Certain “longevity experts” talk about how mTOR is an initiator for cancer and other diseases, so in seeking to avoid these diseases, folks should strive to avoid mTOR activation.

Naturally, the conversation will then lean towards avoiding protein and eating more plant-based foods.

The problem with this narrative is that it’s only half the story: plant-derived foods can stimulate mTOR just like animal foods can.

This new video may clear up the confusion and help you better understand the loads of confusion about mTOR, protein, cancer and other diseases.

P.S. Learn new science from mTORman David Sabatini about what regulates mTOR and its involvement in various diseases.

Next time you hear someone say, “We’re all getting older together!” around a birthday, remind them that’s not entirely true.

About Today's Show: 

New testing, aka the myDNAge test, reveals our “epigenetic aging clock” that’s been characterized by Dr. Steve Horvath. This test analyses methylation patterns on more than 2,000 gene regions.

So, while we’re all aging at the same chronological time, our biological age is variable based upon our diets and lifestyles.

In fact, Dr. Horvath recently published data showing how low-dose growth hormone DHEA combined with berberine can actually slow down biological aging.

Here’s the video review and link to the study:

We discuss more about:

-Age-associated inflammation or “inflammaging” (chronic, low-grade inflammation) as the reason why you age
-How this protocol enlarges the thymus gland, which has been shown to shrink with age
-DHEA and metformin as tools to slow down age-related changes in glucose metabolism

Personally, I’ve been a huge fan of both DHEA and berberine (which functions similarly to metformin) for a long time.

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon says we should focus less on burning fat and more on building muscle and strength, is it protects us as we age.

Key Timestamps: 

04:38 Some manufacturers are deceptive and substitute ingredients.

05:57 European materials have more active ingredient. Chinese ingredients tend to have less active ingredient and more water.

06:55 Moisture and heat accelerate degradation. Keep the desiccant in your supplement bottle.

07:33 New packaging is being designed that builds the desiccant into the plastic of the bottle/vial.

09:53 Humidity and temperature control are key in manufacturing quality.

10:47 There are about 1,000 supplement manufacturers in the US and the number seems to double every year.

11:40 The FDA is shutting down small garage style shops with the 483 inspections. 

13:25 Finished product testing, does not include every ingredient on an ongoing basis.

16:40 FDA requires that identification testing and content/quality testing be done on any new component coming into the manufacturing facility. It is also required to do a full assay of the product at least 3 lots/year.

20:30 Residual solvents used in the extraction process of herbs are detected in testing.

21:06 Magnesium stearate is used to reduce friction and heat in manufacturing. Magnesium stearate is the most common fatty acid on the planet.

21.38 Natural fat is used to lubricate high speed machines. Friction must be reduced.

23:46 Controlling humidity for an entire facility adds about $50,000 per month to the cost of production.

27:25 The alu alu blister packs are aluminum with nitrogen shot between the layers. There is no air or moisture with the product, which is sealed away from the aluminum by plastic.  

28:49 HDPE bottles are better than a box, but not much. Glass is good, but humid air is introduced when the lid is removed.

31:15 If you have a product that is clumping or shrinking in a capsule, moisture has invaded and likely less than label claim in potency.

34:36 The shelf life for supplements is 2 years from manufacture. With probiotics or unstable products, shelf life is about 18 months to 2 years. Overage is added to compensate for die off.

36:06 MCT oil powder will have less fat than MCT oil.

38:44 Daniel makes his own pre and post-workout supplement powders fresh every day. He uses nootropics and caffeine to pre-workout.

43:27 Daniel has been low carb for about 3 years. He has more energy for CrossFit and endurance activities.

Thomas Cowan, MD shares compelling evidence that ‘charged water’ drives peripheral circulation and the heart’s job is to actually slow this down.

This discussion is super fascinating (and may challange your biases).

Book: Human Heart, Cosmic Heart by Cowan

Cancer and new biology of water: https://amzn.to/2IpNVBi

04:38 Filtering your water leaves water unstructured and demineralized. It needs to be remineralized and placed in a vortex to be restructured.
08:05 In the 1920s Rudolph Steiner said that the heart does not pump the blood.
12:15 Blood goes slower as it proceeds through the arteries until it gets to the capillaries where it stops, shimmies and gets going again.
16:07 Your heart does not have the force you would need to push blood through your blood vessels.
20:07 The motive for movement is at the level of the capillaries.
03:39 There are 4 phases of water. The water in cells is in a gel phase.
24:46 The gel layer of your cells is always negatively charged, which means it has separated the charges. There are positive charges in the water inside the cell. The positive ions/protons repel each other and start the water flowing.
26:50 Water cannot go up a tube more than 33 feet before the pressure of the weight of the water is too heavy.
27:30 Xylem tubes in plants are lined with hydrophilic proteins that separate the charges, shifting fluid using the same method as your body uses to move blood up your veins.
28:20 A vein is a thin walled tube with hydrophilic surfaces that creates a gel layer.
29:12 Muscle contraction in the legs is not a primary mover, though it is a contributor.
30:24 Your heart stops the blood. Incoming flow hits the cavity of the left ventricle which contains a valve. The heart holds the blood back a few milliseconds, converts the laminar flow into a vortex.
32:12 Your heart participates in the movement of the blood, but not because of a pushing of the walls. Movement comes from the movement of the blood.
33:07 The heart is like a hydraulic ram.
33:45 The efficiency of the hydraulic ram is about 70%. Only 70% comes out each cycle. A pump must always work at 100% efficiency. The efficiency of the heart is 70%.
35:06 Congestive heart failure is when the blood stops moving forward and only a small percentage comes out.
35:17 Since the heart is not pumping, the problem in congestive heart failure is insufficient flow.
36:22 Hypertension and hypertrophy are not the disease, they are the compensation response and therapy.
37:50 Flow is increased with sunlight, direct contact with the earth, good diet, and increased exercise.
38:50 Earthing/grounding causes you to absorb negative ions, a sort of energy source.
41:44 Our ability to make gels is destabilized by the insults of modern life.
42:54 The vortex of blood created by your heart is like a tornado. Vortex is the creative form of life.
44:12 We ignore life force in today’s science.
50:41 Any plant takes water and structures it.
53:55 The structuring of water occurs naturally through the interaction of blood vessels and the natural energy sources that are freely available to us.
54:48 The flow through a hydrophilic tube increases when you place your hand upon it.
01:04:11 The traditional way to eat vegetables is wild and perennial.
01:16:42 Dr. Cowan’s favorite morning activity is going right out to the garden and spending hours there.
01:18:18 Dr. Cowan’s desert island nutrient is eggs.
01:18:58 Dr. Cowan’s elevator pitch is that any form of coercion (ie: going to school, paying taxes, getting vaccinated) is the opposite of freedom.

Key Time Stamps: 

03:03 Steph has been doing keto since 2009. Her mother was going to die from glial blastoma cancer…but, with interventions like keto, she is still alive.
04:48 Steph is keto/carnivore. She is aware of the anti-nutrients in plant foods.
05:04 Steph had her clients use glucometers, track sleep and track digestive issues, starting long before it is popular.
05:59 Animal fats work better for her clients than plant fats.
06:47 She is the 200 grams of fat person. Increasing animal fats tended to increase ketones and her clients began to feel better.
08:06 Steph encourages her clients to avoid “fat bombs”. Instead they should add fat to bone broth, meat broth or fatty tea.
08:58 If you have an energy crisis, you should not be drinking coffee to get through your day. Steph has gotten thousands of people off coffee and they all have done better.
15:08 Steph used to be a pro vert skateboarder and had an accident with a disabling knee injury. She had 10 surgeries and was on crutches for 4 years. She didn’t skate for 18 years. She skates now, but adaptively due to her injuries.
20:01 Steph’s strategy is gym workouts, dietary measures, minimize stress, improve sleep quality and keto. Steph appreciates every physical gain.
21:10 Women need to get out of their head that they will get big bulky muscles.
21:59 You don’t need the gym. You can use body weight and calisthenics or things like it.
22:50 Work out with the posture of a ballerina to maximize gain.
23:38 Food entrains your circadian rhythm.
25:26 Fasting and keto often plays into the obsession to be thin.
28:51 It is important to address the issue that is prompting people to need to fast.
34:16 Steph coaches and has a course to teach people to do low carb/high fat the right way.
35:57 Steph’s desert island nutrient is liver. Everything you need to survive is in it. She eats it every day. Consuming kidney helps with histamine issues and leaky gut.
