Can bioregualtory peptides slow biological aging? What are bioregulatory peptides and how do they work? Is this the next big thing in anti-aging medicine?

I had the pleasure to sit down with Dr Rob Verkerk at the Integrative and Personalised Medicine Congress in London to talk all things Bioregulatory peptides. These are molecules which have huge promise in the regenerative medicine space. I was hugely excited to hear more about them and the potential they have to regenerate and heal tissue more effectively. 

We cover:

The science behind bioregulatory peptides

What they are and how they can be used

The most compelling research in this field

Access to bioregulatory peptides

And much more

Dr Rob Verkerk has Masters and Doctorate degrees from Imperial College London and in 2002 founded the Alliance for Natural Health International. Since then, Rob has acted as its executive and scientific director, directing legal actions to protect the right to natural health, whilst authoring some 60 papers in scientific journals and conference proceedings.

Dr Bill Harris is as internationally recognised expert on the omega 3 and heart disease, which make him one of the best people in the world to have this conversation with. Omega 3’s are not often considered on a normal blood panel but I think there is a strong case as to why they should be. There is a reason why many countries across the world recommend multiple servings of oily fish per week and that is primarily due to their omega 3 content. From cardiovascular health, to brain health, to reducing systemic inflammation, omega 3’s at the right dose and levels seem to have a range of potential benefits.

Bill kindly humoured my respectful challenge on the omega 3: omega 6 ratio debate. A highly contested topic on the internet today.

In this fascinating conversation we touch upon:

How omega 3s can enhance your healthspam

The optimal dose and blood levels of omega 3

The role of omega 3s in human health and heart disease

Deciphering the omega 3: omega 6 ratio debate

The best sources of omega 3

And much more

I was incredibly lucky that Bill and I had the chance to catch -up at the Integrative and Personalised Medicine congress in London and managed to arrange a date for this recording. I hope you get a lot out of this one because I sure did!

Can we reverse chronic disease using food? How can food be used as preventative medicine? What foods have medicinal properties and in what dose?

Dr. William Li, physician, scientist and bestselling author of  “Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself” and “Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live Longer”. For the latest cutting edge food as medicine science, check out Dr. Li's YouTube Channel. 

I discovered Dr. Li over 12 years ago when he did a Ted Talk on the power of food and food extracts on angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and cancer. This was a pivotal moment for me and sparked my passion for nutrition. I honestly, couldn’t get enough of nutrition science from that day forward. I watched every documentary I could get my hands on and read scientific papers alongside my day job - it was a real turning point.

This is probably why I was overly excited about meeting Dr Li at a conference in London and where he kindly agreed to come on the show. Dr. William Li is an incredible researcher and content creator and has pioneered the science of food as medicine.

In this fascinating conversation we discuss:

How to use food as medicine

The top foods for health creation

Common beverages with health enhancing properties

The surprising link between sweetness and telomeres

And much more
