LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Have you tried all of the popular detox methods, but continually feel worse and worse? 

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Dr. Dan Pompa about why popular detox methods aren’t the answer to many of the chronic problems people are suffering from. True detox starts within the cell, and Dr. Pompa discusses the 5 Rs - a step by step guide to cellular health. We also discuss many detoxification myths, hormone resistance (which can be caused by toxins in the cell!), and the process of hormesis. 

Overall, this episode offers guidance on upregulating your cell's detox pathways, how to adapt to good stress for maximum benefits and the importance of reducing inflammation. 

For the past two decades, Dr. Pompa has been designing, practicing, and teaching his cellular detox strategies around the world, to both practitioners and the public. Dr. Pompa’s powerful presentations focus on ancient fasting strategies, cellular detox, his multi-therapeutic approach to healing, and common, but frequently misdiagnosed autoimmune, hormone, and neurodegenerative conditions. Dr. Pompa’s own story, which he has titled “From Pain to Purpose to Promise,” unveils how his health struggles, family tragedy, and legal battles have transformed him into a powerful health and longevity evangelist which led him to fulfill his purpose.

If you’re struggling with a hormone imbalance, resist the temptation to just throw more hormones into the mix  to try and fix it. 

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Dr. Anna Cabeca - The Girlfriend Doctor,  about how environmental toxins and stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, leading to issues like irregular periods and feeling unwell. But, did you know that it can take more than hormones to fix hormones. 

The good news? You can improve your hormonal health and even reverse many of these  issues naturally. We explore the importance of detoxification to eliminate those toxins and support your body's natural systems. Dr. Cabeca also highlights that birth control pills might contribute to hormonal imbalances due to synthetic ingredients. But hormones are just one piece of the puzzle. This episode emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach, including diet, stress management, and even creating a more alkaline body environment to improve mood and mental well-being.

We also dive into the power of oxytocin, the "love hormone" and how healthy activities can naturally boost your oxytocin levels. Overall, this episode offers guidance on balancing hormone health whether you’re pre-, peri-, or post-menopause. 

Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is the best selling author of The Hormone Fix ,  Keto-Green 16 and MenuPause. Dr. Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. She holds special certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She lectures frequently on these topics throughout the world to large audiences and is known nationally as The Girlfriend Doctor and is the host of The Girlfriend Doctor show.  Dr. Cabeca has personally developed natural products to help women balance hormones and thrive through menopause including the highly acclaimed Julva® cream for the vulva and MightyMaca® Plus, a powerful superfood blend.

Did you know, the rapid decline of mitochondrial health is one of the root causes of the nation’s major diseases like cancer, PCOS, Alzheimer's, and coronary heart disease? 

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I talk with Shawn Wells about mitochondrial health, its effects on our life’s energy, as well as supplements that can help. Berberine, Dihydroberberine, and Metformin all show positive effects on the mitochondria, and we delve into the research and benefits behind each. 

We also discuss several other interesting topics like how stoicism and some stress in life are a good thing, the need to continually work on lowering blood sugar levels, and how BEG (brain energy gap) affects mood disorders. 

Overall, this episode gives guidance on how to work on improving your life’s energy source to live a fully vibrant life. 

Shawn Wells, “The World’s Greatest Formulator”, is a bio-hacktivist who overcame significant obstacles with his own health—weight issues, depression, autoimmune conditions (Epstein-Barr, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), two cervical disc replacements, and a pituitary adenoma, which is a type of brain tumor. His health problems led him down a winding path that required him to find science-based solutions, and they sparked his personal passion for biohacking.

Key Takeaways:

Have you heard of glutathione and its role in fighting free radicals? Glutathione is your body’s own built-in detoxifying champion. 

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, Dr. Nayan Patel (the glutathione guy) and I discuss the details of glutathione, the most abundant molecule in the body. This molecule has amazing benefits for our healthspan and longevity when levels are healthy.

We also dive into glutathione’s functions and even a few instances that may cause people to not produce glutathione as they need. This molecule is a major component in detoxing the body and preventing oxidative stress. 

We also offer guidance on how to supplement glutathione and when or if you even need to supplement it and discuss Dr. Patel’s easy to read book about his discoveries of glutathione. 

Dr. Nayan Patel is globally regarded as the foremost go-to expert on absorbable forms of glutathione, and holds the only patent on transdermal glutathione. In addition to many other topics such as cellular function and hormone replacement, Patel is a highly sought after global authority on the critical role in that glutathione, and all other antioxidants and endogenous molecules play in the body. Along with traveling the world educating practitioners on advanced biochemistry and anti-aging science, Dr. Patel also serves as adjunct faculty at the University Of Southern California School Of Pharmacy where he is also an alumnus.

What We Discuss: 

(2:14) The Basics of BPC157

(4:11) The popularity and applications of BPC157

(11:09) Scenarios to use BPC157 

(14:24) Wound healing

(17:00) pain relief

(19:20) BPC157 is neuroprotective

(21:30) Who benefits the most?

(24:24) Available forms of BPC157 

(37:00) Got more questions? 

Key Takeaways:

• BPC157 is shown in research to have huge healing implications on the GI tract. It originates in the GI tract. It’s a compound that can help repair any damage done to the lining of the digestive system, from wounds in the mouth to ulcers in the stomach. It’s been used in research to try and heal diseases like Chrons. 

• It also can repair skeletal muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Tendons and ligaments get really poor blood supply, so it’s very hard to heal that area. BPC157 drives angiogenesis. It can drive new blood vessels to the area to help heal the injury. 

Osteoporosis is often a condition reserved for older people, specifically women. But did you know that it affects young people as well as men? Protecting bone health can start at a young age if we continue to discuss the importance of it as Kevin Ellis and I do in this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance. 

In this conversation with guest Kevin Ellis, the Bone Coach, we explore the world of bone health and bone disease. Osteoporosis is affecting more and more people at younger ages due to the sedentary lives with low-nutrient diets that society leads. 

We dive into the standard recommendations that follow an osteoporosis diagnosis, as well as the medications, side effects, and long-term results of these procedures. Most medications require even more follow-up medications, so knowing what you’re getting into is important when selecting the route you want to take. Natural bone restoration is an option for those who don’t want to blindly follow the medication route. 

Overall, this conversation offers guidance on exercise, nutrition, and gut health procedures for building and maintaining quality bone tissue for longevity. 

Kevin Ellis is an Integrative Nutrition Certified Health Coach, osteoporosis "thriver," and founder of BoneCoach™. He has made it his mission to help over a million people around the globe address bone loss, build bone strength, stop fearing fractures, and lead active lives. He's most famous for helping people with osteopenia and osteoporosis gain clarity and confidence that improvement is possible.
