SHR # 1539 :: A Paleo Holiday + Cause of Age Related Inflammation Discovered :: Guest: Sarah Fragoso - Dr. Yixian Zheng :: The holidays are all about family and food. Fragoso discusses how you don't have to eliminate decadent flavor to eat healthier foods. In fact, many of the recipes she has created taste better than the original less-healthy versions to people just interested in taste! Need a great tasting cookie for the kids? Or how about a turkey stuffing so delicious that many people eat it as the main course? PLUS Age related chronic inflammation is at the root of many cancers and diseases of older age. Dr. Zheng discusses a breakthrough in understanding why chronic inflammation increases as we age that may lead to better therapies to reverse aging and remaining disease free.

SHR # 1538 :: The BluePrint Power Hour + Effects of Creatine and Resisting Training on Muscle Wasting Associated with Aging :: Co-host: Rob Regish :: Guest: Dr. Darren Candow :: Regish answers listener questions about training, nutrition supplementation and more. PLUS Aging is associated with a loss of muscle that leads to frailty and various metabolic disorders. Resistance training does not always produce the desired gains in strength and lean body mass in men and women over 50 years of age. Dr. Candow looked at the effects of resistance training on these parameters when creatine is supplemented. Several papers are discussed in both pre and post-menopausal women as well as men. Creatine's effect on bone mineral uptake, inflammation and much more are all covered. A specific dosing protocol was developed in Dr. Candow's lab that will take the guesswork out of the approach.

SHR # 1537 :: Long Term Shift Work Linked to Impaired Brain Power + Memory Loss Associated with Alzheimer's Reversed for First Time :: Guest: Dr. Phil Tucker - Dr. Dale Bredesen :: Shift workers suffer from a variety of diseases including higher rates of cancers, type 2 diabetes and more. Add to that list impaired memory and brain function as Dr. Tucker and colleagues have illuminated. What causes this decrease in brain function and memory is discussed as well as how to reverse it. PLUS No one within the Medical Orthodoxy has shown a way of reversing the memory compromising effects of Alzheimer's Disease. That is till now. Dr. Bredsen has spent the past 25 years studying the disease in hopes of discovering the single molecule or pathway that leads to memory loss so he could reverse it. What he has fond instead is 36 pathways that produce a true form of integrative medicine that reverses the disease by addressing the entire scope of the human condition. His protocol works and just happens to be the way of life we promote here in the Super Human Nation. This is a great interview.

While his resume boasts of strength achievements the discussion turns to a different type of strength acquisition. One of strength acquired from the journey of life. PLUS Could the negative stigma of being obese actually be contributing to the obesity epidemic. Dr. Trainer discusses the social implications and effects of obesity and what we can do to help change the discussion.

SHR # 1534 :: ''Take Your Pill'': The Role and Fantasy of Pills in Modern Medicine + Can You Trust Your Protein Powder :: Guest: Dr. Drew Leder - Dr. Jeff Golini :: Every 30 seconds some radio or TV ad espouses the notion that your life will be better if you take a particular pharmaceutical drug. Where did this phenomenon come from? Why do people blindly believe that there is magic in pills? Dr. Drew answers these and other questions in his latest research paper. PLUS With big brands like Walmart, CVS and Nature's Bounty now joining the ranks of some smaller unscrupulous companies guilty of spiking their protein powders to meet label claims, the general feeling is "who can you trust?" Dr. Golini talks about this as well as how some supplements in general have all sorts of things in them that are not listed on the label.

SHR # 1533 :: The BluePrint Power Hour + Anorexia and Body Fat Distribution ::Co-host: Rob Regish :: Guest: Dr. Marwan El Ghoch :: Regish answers listener questions about training, nutrition and supplementation. PLUS Over 24 million people in the U.S. are affected by eating disorders. Anorexia Nervosa is a very dangerous one with a very high mortality rate. Dr. El Goch and colleagues attempt to answer some questions about body fat accumulation, lean body mass and metabolic rate changes in individuals who recover from Anorexia Nervosa . Their findings may also help answer questions about how the body responds to weight loss and weight gain in more general terms.

SHR # 1532 :: Physical Culture Radio: It's Not Just About Muscle - Strength Adaptations of Your Skeletal System + How the Olive Harvest in Italy Will be Affecting Imported Olive Oil Availability :: Co-host: Brooks Kubik :: Guest: Vitina Feo :: Kubik joins Lanore on this episode of PCR to talk about a subject no one ever talks about. We only even talk about strength gains in terms of neuromuscular adaptation and muscle size. We never talk about how the skeletal system both contributes to strength and is influenced by strength training. You can't get stronger is your skeletal systems isn't getting stronger with you. We know how to feed our muscles, how do you eat to ensure your bones will get fed? PLUS Italy is the preeminent source of Imported Olive oil and for good reason. Every season influences the quality and quantity of Olives harvested. This past growing season has some unique issues that will be affecting the quality, quantity and cost of Imported Olive Oil next year. Feo just got back from the harvest in Sicily and reports on what is in store for those of us who love Olive oil from Italy.

SHR # 1530 :: Trans-Evolutionary Fitness Radio: This is How We Do Live Radio + The Missing Link Between Vitamin D and Heart Health ::Co-host: Ken O'Neill :: Guest: Dr. Stephanie Seneff :: Our guest for today's TEFR was a no-show so O'Neill and Lanore had to wing it. They cover O'Neill's heart attack and recovery. Some listener hate mail. And a very strange story from Lanore that may make you question his sanity. PLUS Vitamin D research often fails to show the benefits expected. All of the compelling assumptions about Vitamin D are a result of epidemiology and populations with high sun exposure. Dr. Seneff has some clues as to why this may be. Are we ignoring the role of the skin in all of this. What about cholesterol and more interestingly sulfate? Listen and learn.
