Cancer sucks. If you haven't had cancer you probably know at least one person in your family who has had it or is currently battling it. Unfortunately, it's extremely common. It's estimated that about 2 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Although the standard treatment has been chemo and radiation, new therapies, such as metabolic therapies, have emerged. Joining me today is Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., from Boston College, to discuss his work using metabolic nutritional therapies to treat several types of cancer.

In this episode we discuss

• What is cancer and what nutrients feed cancer?
• How effective is the standard treatment of cancer using chemotherapy and radiation?
• Why is a therapeutic ketogenic diet is not enough to starve cancer cells?
• What would Dr. Seyfreid do if he were diagnosed with cancer?

No, 5G does not cause COVID. But that doesn't negate the existence of true, scientific concerns with this technology (and previous generations of wireless radiation). In fact, a major multimillion dollar study by the National Toxicology Program found that wireless radiation caused certain tumors. Since, then the World Health Organization has recognized 1-10% of individuals as electrohypersensitive, meaning they show blatantly adverse negative effects from these frequencies.

This episode is a chapter of my book Return to Human, where I outline the true scientific concerns with wireless technology, how it impacts our physiology, and how to mitigate the effects using nutrition and other lifestyle habits.

In recent years, the popularity of probiotics has skyrocketed alongside the growing interest in the gut microbiome. But do probiotics live up to the hype?

The short answer is, most don't. Some probiotics boast billions of CFUs, while others brag about the sheer quantity of different species contained within. The truth is, more is NOT better. In addition, most of these probiotics do not even make it to your large and small intestines and are instead destroyed by your stomach acid, rendering them virtually useless. Joining me today is Dr. Tom Bayne, President of Microbiome Labs, to speak all about a revolutionary new type of probiotic which seems to bypass many of these concerns

In this episode we discuss

- The problem with most probiotics on the market

- Why a good probiotic does NOT have to be refrigerated

- How the composition of your gut microbiome can influence the severity of CV-19

- What must an effective probiotic be able to address?

- Hippocrates was right––most diseases do begin in the gut, from autoimmune issues, neuropsychiatric disorders to metabolic health

In this episode of the Live Damn Well podcast…

I’ll be doing the first of a new series called: Micronutrient Spotlight. This week will be part 1 of 2 discussing all things Magnesium. If you’ve heard any of my podcasts or read my book, you’ve likely heard of the wide-ranging health effects of magnesium for certain populations. This series is my humble attempt to compile the latest research about magnesium.

Shownotes at https://livedamnwell.com/magnesium1/

Here’s what I discuss in part 1

• What is magnesium and why is it relevant?
• What does magnesium have to do with obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression, dementia, and athletic performance? 
• Why does testing blood levels of magnesium not accurately reflect your body’s magnesium stores?
• How to test for magnesium accurately

You hear it all the time: eat more fiber. Plants are good. Meat is bad and so are all animal products always. Baby talk pervades the world of nutrition. The truth is, the science is far from settled. With today's guest, I discuss both sides of the story in an attempt to cut through the black-or-white, dogmatic thinking which plagues nutrition science.

My guest today is Dr. Tommy Wood, a UK-trained Medical Doctor with a PhD in physiology and neuroscience. Dr. Wood is currently at the University of Washington as a Research Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. He has also published and spoken on multiple topics surrounding functional and ancestral approaches to health, including examining the root causes of multiple sclerosis and insulin resistance.

Shownotes at: https://livedamnwell.com/tommywood/

In this episode we cover

• What are some of the biggest health hurdles for athletes in improving their athletic performance?
• How tracking sleep and glucose monitoring (CGMs) can in itself can be harmful to our health
• The problem with nutritional studies. In other words why the heck is nutrition so confusing and why do so many experts claim wildly different things?
• What does a healthy microbiome even mean? Do the experts even know?
• Does the nutritional scientific literature fully support the idea that Fiber is essential in the human diet? If not, what else can the gut use as fuel?
• Why a high-fat, animal based diet is being studied for its health effects
• Why neither vegans nor carnivores have the full truth
