LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Sleep is often put on the back burner because we’re so tied to being busy. But what I want you to know is it’s crucial for longevity and immunity. This is what I dive into on this episode of the Longevity Podcast with special guest, Boomer Anderson. 

We discuss the need for transparency from supplement companies and how Troscriptions, a supplement company focuses on bringing new and effective ingredients to the market to support longevity. We also dive into the science behind sleep, the benefits of the ingredients in Troscription’s unique sleep formula, and why sleep is so important for immunity and overall health.

We emphasize the need to open the doors of detoxification before initiating any detox protocol and highlight the role of the liver, kidneys, bile flow, and drainage pathways in the detoxification process. Our conversation explains the concept of Herxheimer reactions and provides insights into how to manage them. 

We talk about the use of specific supplements, such as liposomes, binders, bitters, and progesterone, to support detoxification and address specific issues like mold exposure and viral infections. Overall, Dr. Shade shares the importance of detoxification for longevity and health.

Have you ever wondered what the key is to maintaining muscle mass and promoting health? In my latest podcast episode, I discuss the world of essential amino acids (EAAs) and their crucial role in building and preserving muscle, supporting vitality, and promoting overall health and longevity with Angelo Keely.

Our conversation goes over the fact that essential amino acids are not just building blocks for protein synthesis, but they also act as powerful signaling molecules that stimulate muscle growth and prevent breakdown. This means that consuming the right balance of EAAs can help you maintain muscle mass, reduce fatigue, and recover more efficiently from exercise or injury, regardless of your age. Angelo and I talk about the wide-ranging applications of EAAs, from the NASA protocol for preventing muscle loss in astronauts to the use of EAAs in clinical settings for injury recovery. You'll gain practical tips on optimizing your EAA intake, the best sources of EAAs, and how to incorporate them into your daily routine for maximum benefits.

Angelo Keely started Kion in 2017 in Boulder, Colorado, with the dream of building the healthiest, most inspiring work culture at the heart of a fast-growth, consumer products company that would be focused on motivating customers to go further on their personal health journey. The results have been astounding. Since 2017, Kion has developed many of the highest-possible quality supplements on the market and cultivated an incredibly passionate team.

What We Discuss: 

(00:04) From Wall Street to Mold Testing

(12:11) Understanding the Impact of Mold

(18:42) Health Impacts of Mold Exposure

(29:09) Health Risks of Artificial Scents

(34:24) Impact of Mold on Immune System

(01:06:17) Cooperating With Nature for Health

(01:15:46) Mattress and Pillow Health Concerns

(01:23:30) Mold Prevention and Detection Resources

Key Takeaways:

• Mycotoxin urine tests that many people rely on to identify mold illness are likely detecting dietary sources of mycotoxins from contaminated foods like grains, nuts, coffee, etc. rather than mycotoxins inhaled from moldy buildings. 

• A holistic approach is recommended, focused on controlling moisture/humidity in buildings to prevent mold growth, using air purification, transitioning to a diet low in grains and high in fresh produce and pasture-raised meats to minimize dietary mycotoxins, and cultivating a positive mindset during the recovery process.
