How Umahro Cadogan used nutrition and lifestyle to conquer major health challenges and unlock the secrets to biohacking for better living.

In this episode, Amy hosts Umahro Cadogan, a functional medicine pioneer from Denmark, to explore the transformative power of nutrition, diet, and lifestyle as medicine. Umahro shares his personal journey of overcoming significant health challenges, including inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune arthritis, and how he achieved remission through strategic lifestyle changes. He offers practical biohacking tips for managing jet lag, such as light exposure, cold exposure, melatonin, and careful use of caffeine and alcohol.

Umahro discusses the importance of genetic testing in identifying individual strengths and vulnerabilities, enabling tailored and effective treatment strategies. He also talks about the often-overlooked impact of mold exposure on health and the critical role of detoxification in addressing mold-related issues.

A key part of the conversation is methylation, a process essential for regulating genetic expression, energy production, neurotransmitter synthesis, and detoxification. Umahro emphasizes that while methylation is important, it should be considered within the broader context of overall health to avoid misguided treatments. Additionally, he highlights the significant benefits of supplementing with vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3s, and creatine, as well as the positive impact of low-intensity cardio training on mitochondrial health and longevity.
