Welcome to another great encore edition of Untangle.

Our guest is Dr. Molly Maloof. She is the author of a book called The Spark Factor. The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient, and Feeling Better Than Ever. In this interview, she shares her research and insights on the key pillars of women’s health and wellbeing. I found this to be like an encyclopedia chock full of information and data related to our brains, gut, mental and physical health. She’s passionate about biohacking, lifestyle interventions, personalized medicine, and optimizing performance. It’s a rich look at how we manage our own health so we don’t have to rely on the healthcare system to ‘fix us’ when something goes wrong.

Today's encore episode is with Dr. Drew Ramsey, a Psychiatrist and expert in nutrition and mental health.

In this interview, Drew discusses the importance of mental fitness— and shares why our mental health is such a crucial part of our overall health.

Very excited to encore one of our listeners favorite episodes. This one is hosted by Muse cofounder, Ariel Garten. 

She asks…Could “energy healing” be real? Do phenomena like manifestation really work? If it does, could we possibly understand how? Her guest, Dr. Shamini Jain, is a scientist, and clinician at UCSD, and shares her amazing studies of the biofield, and the evidence she and other colleagues have that demonstrates that this might all be more real than we thought.

 In this conversation, Tim Spector, Doctor, Professor and Author, discusses his journey into nutrition, sparked by his own personal health scare. He emphasizes the importance of gut microbes and the essential need for personalized nutrition. We’re all different…so one size does not fit all. He discusses the role of sugar, fats, and alcohol in our diets, and his belief on the limited effectiveness of supplements when compared to whole foods. 

His cookbook is called Food for Life which he created with his science and nutrition company, Zoe. In this discussion he shares the six principles he believes are most important for us to understand…beginning with the need to eat at least 30 plants a week. There’s lot’s in here. The role of fermented foods. The need to focus on food quality over calories and the critical importance of looking at food as medicine 

A very rich conversation on the impact of nutrition on our overall health and wellbeing.
