September 15, 2019 The Latest Update On Time Restricted Eating and Intermittent Fasting
In episode 28, I delve into the scientific evidence published in the last six months since our first episode on intermittent fasting and time restricted eating. This way of eating goes against the nutritional dogma that we were taught for so long, ie: eating every 3-4 hours. But a lot of clinical evidence supports waiting longer in between meals for metabolic flexibility, induction of autophagy, reduction of inflammation, reducing metabolic disease, re-setting of our circadian rhythm, and more. Make sure to tune in for all the latest scientific evidence.

September 08, 2019 Vitamin Miniseries - Vitamin C
This is the start of our requested miniseries where each episode we will discuss one vitamin or mineral, its function in our body, signs if we are deficient, food sources, and signs if we are taking in too much. These episodes will be dispersed throughout the podcast over the next several months. In episode 1 of this miniseries I introduce the history of vitamins and the scary lengths scientists went to in order to prove the necessity of vitamins to achieve health. I dive into the function of vitamin C and how it is essential for our defense against oxidative stress, for our skin and joint health, for our ability to generate energy from fats in our body (particularly important for those following a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, or calorie restriction), and our ability to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

August 18, 2019 Let's Talk Depression and Inflammation
Did you know that individuals diagnosed with depression tend to have high levels of pro-inflammatory molecules and lower levels of omega 3 fatty acids in their body? In this week's episode we dive into some potential causes of depression with a particular highlight on inflammation. We also discuss clinical evidence on how omega 3 fatty acids can lower markers of inflammation and as a result, how omega 3 fatty acids may lower symptoms of depression.

August 11, 2019 Chia Seed As a Way to Reduce Appetite and Cravings
Chia seed back in the 1990s was popularly known as the seed that grew in Chia pets. In today's day, chia seed is boasted for its high nutritional density. It is one of the highest known sources of the omega 3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and is a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and protein. Because of its nutritional content, it may have some great benefits and help individuals maintain a healthy diet.

August 04, 2019 Can Sulforaphane Induce Our Natural Detoxification System?
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, broccoli sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and kale are a rich source of glucosinolates that can be converted to sulforaphane. Sulforphane has shown in cell culture, animals, and clinical trials to induce our Phase 2 detoxification enzymes. This could have potential implications for prevention of cancer and reducing inflammation.

June 30, 2019 Scientific Evidence on Skincare that Works - PART 1
In Part 1 of this listener request episode, we discuss the molecular biology of skin hydration and what is required for skin homeostasis. We dive into the details of what our skin makes in order to keep hydrated, called natural moisturizing factors, what happens when we apply these compounds to our skin, and what we can apply to our skin to help seal in the hydration. We also discuss the new area of synthetic peptides that scientists are creating in order to mimic a botox-like effect in the skin.

June 23, 2019 Alkaline Water and The Alkaline Diet
In episode 18 I delve into the scientific evidence on alkaline water and the alkaline diet. Scientific evidence is in support that alkaline water can preserve bone mineral density and if alkaline water contains lithium, it may have a beneficial effect on mood. However, some health claims being made about alkaline water such as reducing cancer are not supported by scientific evidence.
