Register for free Broken Brain Docuseries - the information shared is life-changing!!
Tag @michaeltrainer @drmarkhyman #peakmind #brokenbrain with insights garnered on Instagram

5:26 My why - my dad - and Mark
6:42 Functional Medicine - accelerating the gap - treating the system rather than medicine by symptom, medicine by cause
7:40 Mercury poison and parasites create spiral of disfunction. Move beyond the name it blame it paradigm

13:30 I don’t treat disease I create health
14:07 Dementia - decades before the first symptoms
15:10 Food - “Biggest single discovery is the concept is that food is information. With every bite you alter your genes, you alter your hormones”
16:00 Every bite changes your gut flora
16:30 Upgrading your biological software
17:23 Well over a billion people around the world that are pre-diabetic
18:00 Fallacy of the food pyramid
18:15 Very poor epidemiological data - creating the worst diabetes epidemic in the history of the human race
19:11 Healthy fat
19:55 Power of vested interests against your health
20:55 Statins increase amyloid - first thing I do is take them off statins
21:25 Epileptic diet - high fat ketogenic diet
21:50 MCT oil is a preferred fuel source for the mitochondria and the brain
22:30 Bad fats - trans fat
22:50 Good fats - fish oil, nuts and seeds, avocado
23:!0 Saturated fat and refined vegetable oils
23:38 Breast milk is full of saturated fat and it is good for you
24:04 Breast milk also good for microbiome
24:24 Dangers of bad oils - omega 6 oils increase depression and violence
25:30 Omega 3 vs Omega 6
25:40 Ansel Keys - saturated fat - Minnesota coronary experiment and flawed study
27:00 Evidence that saturated fat can actually be helpful
28:00 “Its not just about calories its about the information” - next time you are taking a bite think about what kind of fuel you are putting in your body
28:50 Mark Hyman’s personal protocol to optimal living, “Its about being able to show up in your life fully”
29:42 Most of us live in the construct - worry about the past, fear of the future, and we miss the moment. Part of that has to do with disordered brain chemistry.
30:00 Blood-brain barrier - leaky gut and leaky brain - sugar, stress, gluten, food allergies
