GUEST BIO: 

Dr. Torrie Thompson is known around the world as a leading functional medicine practitioner that solves some of the toughest client cases.  This passion to help others stems from her own health struggles.  For nearly a decade she visited over 20 doctors looking for the cause for her strange symptoms and a solution to help her heal and get her life back. After years of failed traditional medical treatments and several incorrect diagnoses, she finally took her health into her own hands and discovered she had Lyme Disease.  

She successfully used holistic medicine approaches that included dietary modifications, supplementation and lifestyle changes to help her finally regain her health. Not only did she get health and her life back, but along the way learned how holistic medicine and modifications to both diet and lifestyle can help reverse and prevent many diseases.

Now, Dr. Torrie specializes in helping people find the root cause of their symptoms that have stumped other practitioners.  She has helped find answers for clients with mold sickness,  Lyme disease, gut infections, autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, hormone imbalance, infertility and so many more!   Dr. Torrie believes that when toxins and infections are removed and mindset is addressed, the body can heal itself.

GUEST BIO: 

Dr. Latt Mansor holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford, where his research focused on the metabolism of the type 2 diabetic heart in hypoxia. He also holds an M.A. (Columbia University) and B.Sc. (Hons) (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. He is a world expert in physiology and metabolism, and consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations.

- **Principal Investigator of a $6 million military contract on exogenous ketones** - Dr. Mansor is the Research Lead at H.V.M.N., overseeing all of the company’s research efforts and collaborations with universities and research institutions. Currently, he is the principal investigator of the $6 million U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) contract awarded to H.V.M.N by the Department of Defense, with a targeted completion date of October 2022. This project focuses on operator performance in hypoxia (low oxygen environment), which has applications for soldier performance at altitude, in mountains, on fighter jets, and, potentially one day, in space.

 

- **Interest and previous research in diabetes and cardiovascular disease** - His interest in diabetes and cardiovascular disease stemmed from the high prevalence of those diseases in both his parents’ families. He then developed interests in metabolism and exercise during his undergraduate years as he created a mathematical model of adipose tissue (fat) metabolism for his final year project. He then researched using exercise as an intervention for sarcopenia, muscle loss due to aging, for his Master’s thesis. Along his journey of acquiring more knowledge on metabolic health and physiology, he started applying his findings in his daily life to strive for better health and to prove that genetic disposition to chronic diseases is not the entire equation. Epigenetics and lifestyle choices have been proven to change the trajectory of disease progression or in some cases, even reverse it!

 

- **Personal health journey from smoking cessation to weight loss** - The turning point was when he realized that he was only 22 years old and already living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle. Weighing over 200 lbs, never exercised unless he was forced to and a heavy smoker that smoked 30-40 cigarettes a day to boot! The more knowledge he acquired, the more he understands that he is doing injustice to his body and is definitely not helping his genetic disposition towards diabetes and cardiovascular disease so he turned his life around, quit smoking, started with only jogging around the park to joining a gym, quit drinking soda every day and started eating healthy. It was not an easy journey but it has certainly been a self-discovery and rewarding journey nonetheless. He is now committed to finding new ways to make his insights more relatable and accessible to the general public.

Although his education was primarily in health sciences, Latt always believed that collaborative efforts between science and business have more potential to create an impact in improving people’s lives than each on its own.

SHOW NOTES: 

😴 Dr. Latt’s background in healthcare and role in H.V.M.N. (Health Via Modern Nutrition).

😴How you can use ketones to increase your performance daily

😴 Exogenous VS endogenous ketones

😴 How ketones affect athletic performance and recovery

😴 Is Ketones better than having a cup of coffee?

😴 Dr. Latt discusses using ketones to improve sleep quality and reduce the amount of time spent sleeping. Military personnel is an example of individuals who must maintain high productivity levels while allowing adequate rest and recovery.

😴 Why You Should Be Consuming Ketones

😴Evidence shows that fatigued individuals consuming ketones have improved their oxygen saturation at high altitudes, as well as their cognitive function, including memory recall, vigilance, and reaction time.

😴 The foundation: food, nutrition, sleep, exercise, physical activity, mental well-being, and then supplements

😴 How does ketone-IQ assist in low-oxygen environments like high altitudes to prevent cognitive decline caused by reduced oxygen levels

😴 Ketone as an adaptive fuel

😴 What is Dr. Latt’s sleep routine?

😴 HVMN Ketone - IQ - Get your fuel from ketones. Ketones are nature’s superfuel, proven to support energy, focus, endurance, and more. Developed alongside the U.S. military and top universities, Ketone-IQ™ delivers all those benefits in one drink.

GUEST BIO: 

Dr. Andrew Hill (Cognitive Neuroscience, UCLA) is the founder of Peak Brain Institute, a leading neurofeedback practitioner and biohacking coach for clients worldwide.

At Peak Brain, Dr. Hill provides individualized training programs to help you optimize your brain across goals of stress, sleep, attention, brain fog, creativity, and athletic performance.

Peak Brain is a virtual and in-person peak performance center for the brain. We serve clients throughout the world (ages 4+) with QEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback. This highly individualized form of biofeedback trains brain waves (EEG) or blood flow (HEG) and is a gentle exercise designed to support changes over time in areas like attention, stress, sleep, mood, head injuries, brain fog, seizures, migraines, alcohol recovery, and peak performance goals, etc.

SHOW NOTES: 

🧠How did Dr. Andrew Hill get into creating Peak Brain Institute? …and how does it relate to sleep?! 

🧠What are some benefits of Neurofeedback training for people with sleep disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?

🧠Link between sleep spindles and attention deficit disorder (ADD)

🧠Multiple studies found that individuals with ADHD have fewer and shorter sleep spindles compared to those without the disorder.

🧠Sensory motor rhythm (SMR) prevents you from waking up throughout the night. 

🧠SMR activity is associated with a state of relaxation, and that increasing SMR activity through neurofeedback training can help improve sleep quality, focus, and mood.

QUOTES:

"The brain is a machine thats on the edge of chaos —-it can't be too organized, or life stops. It can't be too chaotic, or information stops. The brain is always balancing between falling over into chaos and falling over into too much order."
- Dr. Andrew Hill.
