LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

Have you spent years trying to better your health with fad diets or expensive supplements? If you're struggling with unexplained symptoms or cannot find an answer to ongoing health problems, I know it can be disheartening and overwhelming. In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Katie Wells, we discuss the four pillars of health and the importance of taking a step back, basically stripping all the "health routines" down to the basics. Katie shows that this route can be refreshing and often a way to overcome all the overwhelming data that is thrown into the health and wellness space. Focusing on the four pillars of health can alleviate stress and give a clear picture of what is causing the health issues in the first place. We also dive into the data behind the blue zones and the controversy behind them. Overall, this episode offers information on the importance of community and how it has an impact on longevity and health. And that getting back to the basics is an important place to start when looking for answers. Katie Wells is a mom of six with a background in journalism. She took health into her own hands and started researching to find answers to her own health struggles. Her research turned into a blog and podcast that turned into an amazing community. The Wellness Mama encourages a natural, simple route to finding health and longevity for each individual.

(7:00) The Four Pillars - Light, Movement, Nutrients, and Sleep. (8:50) The Light Pillar & Nature Deficiency Disorder (11:00) The Movement Pillar (12:45) The Nutrient Pillar - food & relationships (13:45) The Sleep Pillar (16:50) Balancing wearable health trackers (19:00) Mindset and stress management (25:40) Letting go of stress and bringing back simplicity (30:50) Blue Zones (38:40) Doing less for the nervous system (43:14) Be present in the moment to lower stress (45:15) Find more from Katie Wells Key Takeaways: Finding your own path into health and wellness is essential. Experts are great and may be able to guide you, but in the end, your own journey is the only thing that will show you where you need to be. Your body is designed to heal itself - It will tell you loudly what is wrong! Listen to yourself in addition to all the experts you may be chasing after. Building a healthy foundation using the four pillars will get you set up to find the answers and results you need. While everyone is different, these four pillars are common across humans, and getting them to a healthy place will increase the potential of living in a healthier state. The four pillars are light, movement, nutrients (community), and sleep. While these four pillars are common, they can still be individual to the person, of how much of each is needed for longevity and health. Be aware of your inner dialogue and the stories you tell yourself. Negative self talk only leads to stress, guilt, and overwhelm. Positive self talk, and inquisitive questions can help you start a positive feedback loop that gets you out of the wrong mindset, helps you manage stress, and allows you to slowly start working on the four pillars of health.

I'm sure you've heard how bad fat is for your health. For years, fat has gotten a bad rap. People often say, "fat makes you fat" but new research is showing quite the opposite. In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Stephanie Venn-Watson, we discuss the saturated fat C15: and its essential role in the body. This fascinating fat that is found in dairy, strengthens our cell membranes which is crucial for longevity. Our cells prove that "you are what you eat" and too often, we don't eat enough fat to support these cells! We also dive into supplementing C15:0 so that you're not getting a large amount of unhealthy saturated fats - just the good stuff! Overall, this episode shows that we don't need to fear fat anymore. We need it for healthy aging and fighting chronic diseases. Stephanie Venn-Watson is a serial entrepreneur who has successfully launched Epitracker, and Seraphina Therapeutics, two clinical research programs within the Department of Defense and the non-profit sector and founded public health education programs in the community and at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She has over 60 peer-reviewed scientific publications and book chapters and is the lead inventor on over 40 issued and pending patents. For her entrepreneurial work in the health industry, Stephanie was awarded the Department of Human and Human Services Secretary's Award for Innovations in Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.

(14:45) The role of fat for human health (16:00) Even vs Odd chain saturated fat (25:00) Anemia and dolphin studies (32:00) Cutting out dairy (33:30) C15:0 and the hallmarks of aging (45:00) Foundational supplements (46:00) Where to get C15:0 (48:30) Dosing C15:0 (54:00) Where to learn more about Fatty15 Key Takeaways: C15:0 a beneficial fatty acid has been shown in studies to be not just beneficial but essential in a predictor of health. The last fatty acid to be discovered was omega 3s over 90 years ago. C15:0 - a saturated fat - strengthens our cell membranes. Our cells are surrounded by two layers of fat and can change based on what we eat. There are two kinds of saturated fats - even chain and odd chain. Even chain saturated fats are present in really high levels in processed foods. They're pro-inflammatory and high levels are associated with diseases. Odd chain saturated fats have the opposite effect. They're anti-inflammatory and can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. They have no hinges - no double bonds. C15:0 acts like a brick in our cells- it helps the cells fight off aging and chronic diseases. We get C15:0, the healthy saturated fat, from whole dairy fat. It's hard to get it from any other source. The health of dairy fat is controversial though because for every 1% of healthy odd chain saturated fats in dairy, there is 40% of even-chain saturated fats. Supplementing with Fatty15 is a great source to get in pure C15:0.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Amy Killen, we explore the world of stem cells - what they are, how they perform in the body, and how they work to increase longevity. Stem cell therapy is still being researched and regulated, but there is an amazing amount of potential for healing and increasing longevity with these powerful cells. We also dive into exosomes - the small molecules that can penetrate places that stem cells can't. Aesthetic procedures are popular with exosomes- they have the power to restore hair and rejuvenate skin, and are used in many skincare products. We even go over ovarian rejuvenation and Rapamycin, a potential prescription drug for delaying menopause. Overall, this episode offers guidance on stimulating stem cells right in your own home. We talk through different tips such as supplements, fasting, and getting sun in a healthy way for those who aren't in a place to budget for stem cell therapy. Dr. Amy Killen is an outspoken advocate for empowering people to look and feel their best by merging lifestyle modification, integrative medicine, body-identical hormones, energy modalities, and stem cell therapies. She is the founder and CEO of the Human Optimization Project (HOP), a longevity-based subscription supplement company that stays on top of the science and constantly updates its ingredients for customers who can't devote their lives to reading the latest research sourcing the best therapies.

(7:20) The world of stem cells and exosomes- what they are, and why they are important. (11:20) MSC cells are very safe, don't cause cancer, and they're not embryonic cells (no fetus is harmed!) (13:50) The Pros of using birth product stem cells (from the placenta and umbilical cord) (18:08) The environment where the stem cells are placed matters. (22:50) Helpful therapies to stack with stem cell therapy. (30:50) What the research shows about stem cell therapy and diseases like MS. (34:15) Exosomes - one of the signaling molecules of stem cells. i (41:37) Fat transfers are a great natural filler, but adding stem cells creates better results. (44:50) How to stimulate stem cells naturally if you don't have the budget for stem cell therapy. (58:30) The overuse of supplements and HOP box. (1:04:00) Rapamycin and ovarian rejuvenation using stem cells. (1:10:38) Where to find more from Dr. Amy B Killen. Key Takeaways: 1. Stem cells do two main things. They can replicate themselves and they can turn into other types of cells. Stem cells send out signals so that an injured area heals itself. When we age, we have fewer, less active stem cells. They aren't able to signal repair as well, so recovery takes much longer. Stem cell therapy gives you back signaling molecules so that you're able to heal yourself faster. Autologous stem cells are your own cells from fat tissue or bone marrow. Allogeneic stem cells come from somewhere else - like birth tissue products (placenta/umbilical cord). The environment affects the stem cells. The area where you put stem cells matters, and if your body is not healthy, is inflamed, or has uncontrolled blood sugar issues, the cells cannot work as well. For example: a smoker or poorly controlled diabetic won't have the best results. Take the time to get in the best shape that you can before a costly procedure like stem cell therapy. Exosomes are powerful signaling molecules that can be transported into cells to change the behavior of that cell. These small molecules can pass through the skin- they can be applied topically - and they can cross the blood brain barrier to decrease inflammation. They're great for aesthetic purp

Maybe you've heard of the bioregulator Pinealon and its effects on anti-aging. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the research! In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, my producer Chelsea Morrow and I take on the bioregulator - Pinealon - Q&A style. We discuss the different versions of Pinealon, what the current research says about it, as well as the many benefits the research is showing. Whether you're an athlete who wants to support your immune system, or you're someone who wants to slow cognitive decline, Pinealon is shown to be a powerful supplement that can be incorporated alongside other conventional methods. Overall, this episode offers information on navigating the bioregulator supplement, what the current studies are saying for healthy and unhealthy participants, and how to find a good source that you can trust.

Either version can work, but the synthetic version seems to give a faster effect in studies. It can be more targeted and concentrated. Many studies start with the synthetic and then continue with the biological extract. Cortexin is an intermuscular injection and it can be very hard to get outside of Russia. In this case, the synthetic version - Pinealon - is just fine to take as a supplement. However, this bioregulator is often combined with conventional treatment for the most effect. Pinealon is neuroprotective. It seems to be able to protect brain cells from hypoxia (like in a stroke). Beneficial effects for memory and boost learning. It can also affect mood. It can protect brain cells from cell death. This is not a supplement that needs to be taken all the time. If you're a person with a healthy diet, healthy sleep, and you've got no real issues going on, intermittently having Pinealon can help increase longevity. For younger people around the ages of 35-40, it's beneficial to supplement for one month out of the year. For older people, around 50, you may need 2 months of supplementation out of the year. It's very individual to the person and their health status.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Rob Whitefield, we discuss the importance of reducing inflammation prior to breast implant surgery to decrease the potential of breast implant illness. Dr. Rob Whitefield's holistic recovery approach focuses on supplementation and lifestyle changes prior to, during, and after surgery. We also dive into fat transfers and the best way to have long-term success with augmentation surgery. It's important to know the signs of breast implant illness and all of the symptoms it can cause. Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating the effects of breast implant illness, and how to know if your body is struggling with the symptoms and high inflammation. Dr. Whitefield gives expert advice on talking frankly with your surgeon and the importance of supplementation for proper recovery. Dr. Rob Whitefield is a board-certified plastic surgeon with almost 1000 breast explant surgeries under his belt. Dr. Whitfield brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the conversation.

(5:45) It can be difficult to diagnose implant infection because it's not rigorously tested for. (7:30) Breast implants over time can cause chronic inflammation and chronic inflammation affects all systems in the body, like our respiratory system, GI tract, immune system, and/or muscular system. (14:20) Resolving the issue without explant surgery is rare. (17:30) Fat transfers are ideal because body fat is a dynamic tissue, and your body reacts well to its own stem cells. (21:30) Women concerned about longevity - what are the odds the implants will affect homeostasis? (28:35) Breast implant illness is not just a surgical problem - it's an inflammation and genetic issue. (30:20) Cellcore supplementation before and after surgery to help detox and reduce inflammation. A holistic approach is essential. (38:00) The use of peptides to help with recovery. (42:00) Dr. Whitefield's approach to facial rejuvenation for natural results. (51:48) Thank you to Dr. Whitefield and where to find more information. Make sure to order his coming book! Key Takeaways: Breast implant illness presents atypical systems, causing some women to be gaslit by their doctors. A review of all bodily systems must be done to diagnose true breast implant illness. It's not understood by a wide range of medical professionals, so being in tune with your symptoms is important. The most consistent symptoms are neurological like brain fog and memory loss. Difficulty swallowing, racing heart, constipation, bloating, shocking pains in extremities, and nerve tingling are also major symptoms. Fat is the original filler and works well for transfers. It's a dynamic tissue because it brings your body's own stem cells with it. Holistic acceleration recovery can help with reducing inflammation and detoxing the body so that fat transfers are successful without causing implant illness. Recovering with procedures like hyperbaric oxygen chambers and lymphatic massages can highly decrease inflammation and risk of illness. About 30% of implants (since 2019) will be an issue for people, depending on genetics, harsh sickness, or in-surgery bacteria. It's important to have a baseline established with your surgeon so that you can tell quickly if you are suffering from breast implant illness. The baseline also helps you and your doctor reduce potential inflammation.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Stephanie Estima, we discuss the importance of heading into menopause in the healthiest way possible. Muscle is often thought of as a negative thing for women as we were taught not to get bulky. However, it's a myth that needs to be totally left behind. It's very hard for women to build muscle and get bulky. But muscle is essential for hormonal balance and longevity. We also dive into the science behind balanced hormones, and what steps you can take to make sure you're heading into menopause as a confident powerful woman, rather than take it on as if it's a disease. Menopause needs to be thought of as an evolution of your body, not a nightmare situation. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is essential for some women, and we guide you through how to talk with your doctor to get the best treatment possible. Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating hormone health, talking to your doctor about what you specifically need, and how to use menopause as a growth opportunity, not a season of anxiety and hardship. Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses all facets of health including nutrition, fitness, hormones, stress management, performance, recovery, longevity, health span, mental resilience, and energy production. Her passion is to assist you in making informed decisions about your health and to catapult you into the hero of your own life. Dr. Stephanie has a special interest in exercise physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, and performance nutrition. She spent 19 years in private practice and is a best-selling author, international speaker, and mother.

(4:41) Menopause isn't a disease; it's an experience you can be prepared for. (6:45) Preparing at a younger age, by adding muscle and taking care of your hormones can give you an easier time throughout menopause. (8:45) The importance of lean muscle for women (hint: you don't get bulky!) (17:45) Hormonal changes can affect your ability to build lean muscle. (22:43) The turnover rate of bone as we age changes under the influence of estrogen. (26:30) You don't want too much estrogen- it can negatively affect ligaments and joints. You just want it balanced with testosterone. This is why joint issues are common in post-menopausal women. It increases the risk of injury. (29:00) The importance of strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health for aging women. (30:00) Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great solution. (36:00) Be so in tune with your body that you can tell when something is off, and be able to have data-filled conversations with your doctor. If you can't talk with your doctor about hormones, get a new doctor. (40:10) Cognitive health - our ability to think clearly - and lack of sleep is affected by decreasing levels of hormones like progesterone. (46:00) Stress management and its role in adrenal gland health. Nutrition and supplements can feed the brain! Your body is very clear about this - if you don't use it, you'll lose it. (53:44) The lack of literature on common "health practices" today for women, like cold plunges and sauna. It needs to be synced with the time in your cycle. (1:03:33) Minimum effective dose of exercise - strength training and cardio. (1:11:25) How to find more from Dr. Stephanie Estima Key Takeaways: Reframing the importance of lean muscle for women is essential for hormone health. Women in their 40s and 50s have grown up with the thin supermodel being ideal. The environment you grew up in can highly affect your perception of hitting the gym and building muscle. However, for the vast majority of women, it is very hard to build muscle and get "bulky." The bulky myth and fear of lifting heavy just need to go away and die because it's very inaccurate for women. You can build muscle at any age, at any stage in life - peri, menopausal, and post-menopause. However, it is much easier to build m

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I discuss the medicinal mushroom - Lion's Mane and 10 different benefits that have come from supplementing it. I love Lion's Mane for its well-known cognitive benefits, but studies are showing many other improvements in areas like nerve damage, depression, moods, and inflammation. I also dive into how to use it and why the sourcing of Lion's Mane matters based on the benefits you want from it. The current studies are showing that dosing matters, as well as how the compound is extracted from the mushroom. Overall, this episode offers information on navigating the mushroom supplement, what current studies are saying for healthy participants, and how I like to incorporate it into my day.

(1:53) Neuroprotective and Antioxidant properties - It increases the release of nerve growth factor. (4:15) Choosing the right supplement- the quality of the mushrooms matters. (6:20) 10 Different Benefits of Lion's Mane Mushrooms (18:57) How to use it. (22:10) BSP community Key Takeaways: Lion's Mane is a mushroom resembling a head of cauliflower. Studies have shown that it reduces cell death, and is active in the hippocampus (important for memory and learning) which improves cognitive function, positively affects mood, and reduces anxiety. There is abundant evidence that it is a powerful tool in your longevity arsenal, but it matters where you source it from. The quality of the mushrooms, the knowledge of the person who is making the supplements, and the process in which it is extracted can affect the supplement's efficacy. Compounds can be extracted from the fruiting body or the mycelia for different purposes. If it's extracted from the mycelia, the medium in which the mushroom is grown in matters. Human and mice studies all show positive effects in diseased and healthy participants. The dosing matters, as well as which compound is used. Overall though, benefits outside of cognitive function include protection against stomach ulcers, positive influence on heart health, managing diabetic symptoms, inhibiting the spread of cancer cells, lowering inflammation markers, and improving immune function.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Amitay Eshel, we discuss the importance of slowing down aging in a healthy way. We dive into how you can damage skin with many of today's popular skin procedures and how to navigate through it effectively to avoid causing more long-term trauma to your skin. Specifically, we talk about how to reset your skin cells functionally by using compounds that recycle and reset energy in your skin (Hint: Spermidine in skincare!) We also dive into the damage cosmetic procedures can do to the perception of beauty and what is currently aesthetically pleasing. With a variety of mechanical and chemical procedures, it's important to know what the long-term effects can be, as well as, how to know which procedure is best for you and your aging goals. Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating the skin health and beauty industry, so that you're knowledgeable when choosing what's best for you. Amitay Eshel is a seasoned biohacking and beauty entrepreneur. With over a decade of experience in health, wellness, and beauty leadership, he co-founded Young Goose and its popular Biohacking Beauty podcast, making waves through education and innovation.

(9:30) Procedures are assaults on the body and can tax the endocrine system and gut health. (12:58) The long-term cost of lasers, IPLs, and peels. (14:00) The mechanical and chemical risks of penetration procedures. (21:46) Radio frequency and the wrong kind of microneedling create structural changes that are irreversible. (25:05) When we completely penetrate the skin barrier, it can't do it's job (it creates leaky skin). (46:35) How to properly prepare your skin for an asthetic procedure so that you recover well. (50:19) The molecule spermadine and it's ability to reverse aging at a cellular level. (55:05) New topical applications of compounds that can reverse the 12 signs of aging. (1:08:50) New Young Goose serums that penetrate deeply into the skin for maximum results. (1:18:00) Where to find Young Goose products and more. Key Takeaways: Major cosmetic procedures can cause significant body dysmorphia. It shifts what is aesthetically pleasing so that the patient is never truly pleased or done changing. The idea that you can get plastic surgery simply for aesthetic reasons started in the 80s with two surgeons who were also artists. This episode discusses our human differences and the fact that you cannot make broad changes without disrupting true beauty. Major cosmetic changes can affect your endocrine system, gut health, and more - they're assaults on the body. The cost of peels and penetration of the skin is higher than you might think. The risks are mechanical or chemical. We dive into the reasons to avoid mechanical risks at all costs. Radio frequency treatments cause inflammation which shows up as short-term progress as plump skin. But long term, you're just creating more scar tissue. It causes functional changes and damage that sticks around. Microneedling is a great procedure if you are getting "stamped" not "rolled." Before getting any type of procedure, make sure to have the correct recovery pathway, like having sunblock at home to help protect the skin barrier. Spermadine (a polyamine) can affect all 12+ hallmarks of aging. Spermidine is a magical molecule that mimics a signal for recycling and reinvesting of energy for repair and resilience. It's an incredible reset button we can push. A topical compound that includes spermidine works to make your skin functionally younger (even if it's not biologically younger).

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Jessica Kane Berman, we dive into the importance of phospholipids for cellular function and longevity. We'll address misconceptions about phospholipids and explain their foundational role in biohacking and health optimization. We also dive into the often-ignored impact of environmental toxins, such as mold, on health and how to heal on a cellular level, the importance of building resilience through diet and supplementation to combat the effects of toxins and support a robust immune system, how the right balance of fatty acids and phospholipids can significantly improve skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne, and bring clarity to the confusion around dietary fats and oils - and which are best for cellular health. Overall, this episode offers guidance on supplementation and dietary changes necessary for enhancing cellular function and overall health. Jessica Kane Berman is the Chief Marketing Officer of Body Bio - one of my personal favorite supplement companies. Body Bio is a supplement company that focuses on optimizing at the cellular level – They believe there is no way to heal the complex diseases of today without addressing the fats and oils of the membrane. The membrane carries the signals in our body, without a healthy membrane, signaling will cease to exist.

A stable and healthy cell membrane is essential for longevity and well-being. Phospholipids are often overlooked but are foundational to health, and supplementation can be particularly important as we age due to a natural decrease in our body's ability to synthesize these nutrients. Environmental toxins pose silent threats to health: The episode discusses the pervasive impact of environmental toxins, like mold, on health. These toxins can be present and harmful even when there are no immediate symptoms, making proactive health strategies and toxin avoidance crucial. Building resilience through diet and specific supplements can help mitigate the effects of these toxins and support the body's natural detoxification processes. Nutritional choices profoundly affect skin health: The power of fatty acids and phospholipids in transforming skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and acne is emphasized. The right balance of nutrients, whether ingested or applied topically, can nourish the skin and promote healing. This underlines the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the impact of nutrition on areas beyond what might be expected.

Lymph nodes are the immune system's powerhouses, hosting B cells and T cells essential for fighting infections and other foreign bodies. Thus, the importance of detoxification and how a compromised lymphatic system can lead to a buildup of waste, potentially causing health issues and a weakened immune response. It is difficult to achieve a state of calm due to the autonomic nature of the nervous system and the cumulative effect of stress. However, there are various technologies and substances, from wearable devices to psilocybin and CBD, that may be utilized to hack the nervous system and promote vagal nerve tone, signaling safety to the brain and encouraging a parasympathetic state. Given that we don't have a central pump, muscle movement, breathing, and relaxation are all important for promoting lymph flow. If we fail to do so, due to the relationship between the parasympathetic nervous system and lymphatic function, we can inhibit drainage.

The frog's secretion contains a potent combination of bioactive peptides, including dermorphin and deltorphin, which have powerful physiological effects. The ceremony typically involves a trained practitioner applying small burns or superficial wounds to the skin and then applying the kambo secretion to these points. The peptides in the secretion are believed to enter the bloodstream and induce various effects on the body. The benefits of Kambo therapy include detoxification, increased energy, improved mood, and enhanced physical and mental well-being. It also has spiritual and emotional cleansing properties. It is important to select a well-trained and knowledgeable Kambo practitioner due to the powerful nature of the therapy. The individuality of each participant's experience and the importance of respecting their unique physiological and emotional responses during and after the therapy are important factors to consider. All in all, healing through Kambo is not a one-size-fits-all process but rather should be tailored to each individual's needs and circumstances.

If there is one thing that humanity has been striving for since its inception, is the pursuit of longevity. Today I'm with Chris Mirabile, Founder & CEO of NOVOS Labs who brings us one step closer to cracking the code of aging and longevity and offers fascinating insight into the intersection of health, performance, and longevity. We discuss how short-term health strategies may not always contribute positively to longevity, and the nine hallmarks of aging that NOVOS Labs aims to address. These include loss of proteostasis, DNA damage, attrition of telomeres, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, altered cellular communication, dysregulated nutrient sensing, epigenetic alterations, and telomere shortening. Chris's interest in health began when he was 12 and evolved into a passion after he was cured of a brain tumor when he was 16. Chris has researched and integrated longevity practices and interventions into his life for more than ten years, has achieved a biological age 13.6 years younger than his chronological age, and according to epigenetic tests like DunedInPACE, is aging 31% slower biologically than chronologically. As we dive deeper into the realm of aging and anti-aging strategies, we bring ourselves one step closer to a future where longevity is not just a dream, but a reality. Chris Mirabile graduated from NYU Stern School of Business and later won their business plan competition with his startup company, Hotlist, a location-based social network that scaled to 220 million people's social plans. Chris has launched multiple successful technology ventures and has advised biotech startups and NYU Langone Hospital. Vist novoslabs.com and use code NAT5 to save.

Senescent cells, while often perceived negatively due to their contribution to aging, can also play beneficial roles in certain contexts such as wound healing and limiting fibrosis. However, current senolytics can pose risks due to potential toxicity and lack of precision in targeting the right cells. While strategies such as severe caloric restriction or prolonged fasting can contribute to longevity, they may also have detrimental effects on short-term health and performance. It's crucial to strike a balance and consider the long-term implications of these health strategies. The ideal time to start implementing longevity strategies, like Novos, is around late 20s to early 30s.

What happens to your gut health when you take antibiotics? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we chat with Colleen Cutcliffe of Pendulum Life about the effects of our gut microbiome on our mental health, metabolism, energy levels, and learn to pinpoint signs of compromised gut health. Colleen dissects the nuances of probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics, and how these elements interact in our gut. Additionally, we examine the often-underestimated impact of antibiotics on our microbiome and how it can be combated with effective strategies. Lastly, we shift our focus to a specific strain of bacteria, known as akkermansia, and explore their role in food metabolism and mood regulation. In the same vein, we contemplate on the potential risks of long-term drug use including GLP-1, and delve into the impact of metformin on gut health.

However, there isn't a particular diet that will make or break your gut health nor can you eat a nutrient-poor diet and expect probiotic supplements to keep your gut microbiome in good shape. Simply aiming to eat a balanced, nutrient rich diet is the way to go. While antibiotics have a negative impact on your gut health, it does come with a plus side. Given that antibiotics eliminate all bacteria – good and bad – the timeframe following an antibiotic treatment is a great time to focus on fixing your diet so you can repopulate your gut microbiome with the appropriate strains. While many of us blame our poor willpower for our cravings, it's usually our gut microbiome that is to blame. Luckily, there are specific strains one can supplement to help increase GLP-1 and GABA production to stimulate satiety and reduce anxiety, which helps reduce cravings overall.

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing menopausal symptoms through diet, there are certain foods and/ or ingredients that may exacerbate these symptoms for some women and should be avoided. Sleep disruptions are a common symptom experienced by many women during menopause. Three factors which contribute to these sleep disturbances include hormonal changes, hot flashes and night sweats, stress and lifestyle factors, and having to go to the bathroom more often. Weight-lifting is crucial in this stage of life. Women are at risk of losing muscle mass and strength due to hormonal changes. Resistance training helps counteract muscle loss, which can lead to improved functional capacity and overall physical well-being.

Think you can't lose weight without GLP1 agonists? Think again. In this solo episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we bypass common drugs like GLP1 agonists, including OZMPIC, and discuss safer and effective alternatives. You will get insights into muscle loss mitigation during dramatic weight loss, and discover other innovative fat loss strategies that steer clear of the potential risks associated with miracle weight loss drugs. We also talk about microbiome and weight loss probiotics, with a focus on Akkermansia, a bacterial strain associated with lean individuals. I share my experience with DNF-10, a peptide that is known to significantly lower ghrelin secretion before meals, and contributes to maintaining the release of leptin from adipocytes.

Thus, finding the cause of this inflammation in the body is the first step to healing. Afterwards, turning to regenerative medicine is key for undoing the damage caused by the inflammation. Excessive nitric oxide production, often in response to inflammation, can lead to oxidative stress and damage to brain cells. This oxidative stress is believed to contribute to the development of depression and other mood disorders. Research has demonstrated that B cells play a role in tissue repair and remodeling by secreting factors that influence inflammation, fibrosis, and regeneration. Thus, if you are experiencing inflammation in the lungs, addressing the inflammation that is happening in the first place and then using B cell therapy to regenerate the lung tissue may be your best bet for healing.

It's scientifically proven to deliver superior health and fitness benefits compared to normal exercise—in 90% less time. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 Max) is a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense physical activity. It is often used as an indicator of a person's cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. Studies demonstrate that only a 12% improvement in VO2 Max is equivalent to a 2 year increase in life expectancy. Given that we lose about 10% of VO2 Max per decade as we age, this is an immense improvement. Sprints are more beneficial than traditional workouts. When you push your limits during sprints, your muscles are forced to mobilize about 25-30% of muscular glycogen—your emergency energy reserve—releasing key signalling molecules (AMPK and PGC-1a), telling your body it must get fitter and stronger. As a result, you develop more mitochondria, your blood plasma volume increases, and your heart gets stronger. The end result is an increased aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

Why is GABA, a neurotransmitter that's vital for regulating our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences, often overlooked in the world of neuroscience? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman podcast, I ponder this question with Dr. Scott Sherr, a repeat guest, who unravels the mystery surrounding GABA's key role in our mental well-being. We venture into the complex labyrinth of the GABA system, elucidating its significance in controlling the firing of neurons, its connection to a leaky blood-brain barrier, and the implications for those of us entrenched in the hustle and bustle of life. Dr. Sherr and I also put under the microscope the intriguing world of supplements and drugs. We peel back the layers on how they interact with the GABA system and the potential mental health risks they harbor. From the influences of alcohol, Xanax, barbiturates, and sleep drugs on the GABA system to natural alternatives, we left no stone unturned. Moreover, if you're on SSRIs, you might find our explorations on supporting the GABA system and rebalancing emotions, thoughts, and feelings very enlightening. In the concluding part of our conversation, we touch upon the intriguing effects of nicotinol GABA, THC, and CBD. We assess the potential benefits of Trozzy, an innovative sleep aid supplement. As the saying goes, 'Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.' Therefore, we also shed light on the importance of good sleep habits and natural ways to enhance the GABA system.

While GABA is all over the brain, they're also in a place that are called interneurons. Interneurons are these waystations between neurons that help regulate the processing of information, both downwards and upwards. This is extremely important for how we regulate our emotions, how we regulate our feelings, how we regulate our interactions with other people, and then how we process our thoughts, how we process our experiences, both in the now and also in the past and the future. We may not realize it, but a lot of us are actually GABA deficient. GABA deficiency is a big deal because it's associated with depression, anxiety, and compulsive disorder. It's potentially contributing to things like schizophrenia, mental illness, and alcoholism. We know that SSRIs work on some level to help with mood regulation. However, they do not work right away. It requires anywhere from four to eight weeks for the antidepressant effects to kick in. On the other hand, GABA compounds work right away and elevates your mood.

This dysregulation causes the pH of your body to become more acidic, which is an environment where pathogenic things can survive and thrive. In other words, 5G towers aren't making us sick directly, but they act as a catalyst for biological changes which may make us sick. In order to flush out our body's toxic load, we must keep energetic charges in balance. This is crucial for staying healthy and supporting your body's natural defense mechanisms.

It's not often just the surface of the skin that's responding to something. It's a systemic issue that's expressing itself through the skin. The best time to use red light therapy is whenever you can. In order to fully benefit from it, you need to use it consistently. There is a difference between red light and infrared light. Red light only goes a bit beyond skin deep and that's because it's absorbed mainly by the blood. Once it hits that capillary bed under the skin, that's about as far as it goes. Now there's always systemic effects, because we get all the benefits of increased ATP, and that information gets delivered to deeper parts of the body. However, infrared light goes significantly deeper than red.

What can be done to treat chronic illnesses? That's just what we do in our riveting discussion with Dr. Chris Turnpaugh in this week's episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast. We venture into the tricky terrains of Lyme Disease and MCAS, highlighting the controversies surrounding their testing. You'll hear a compelling anecdote about a patient who had a startling reaction to gluten while battling Lyme disease. This story leads us into a discussion of immune responses, specifically post-traumatic immune responses. We weave together the intriguing connection between long COVID and long Lyme, even exploring the potential impact of the notorious spike protein. Our conversation takes a turn toward hidden health risks and the pressing need for early detection. We also discuss the potent combination of peptides and estrogen in its formula and how it can enhance endurance and muscle strength. Dr. Chris Turnpaugh is the owner and President of Turnpaugh Health, a company with over 65 employees and 5 locations.

This is not the same thing as being reinfected, thus would require a different approach for treatment. This reaction is the reason why some people believe they can never be cured from Lyme disease. Spike proteins are a type of protein found on the surface of certain viruses, most notably SARS-CoV-2. These proteins play a critical role in the virus's ability to infect host cells and is important in vaccines. When the immune system encounters this spike protein, it generates an immune response, including the production of antibodies. The impact of this immune response takes a bigger toll on the body than pharmaceutical companies make it seem. BPC and PTA are a powerful peptide combination. Studies demonstrate it to be extremely effective in reducing pain and accelerating tissue repair.

It was discovered on Easter Island in 1966 and approved for kidney transplant patients in 1996 by the FDA. It has potential as a revolutionary new type of chemotherapy and can be used to better understand cellular metabolism and the aging process. When it comes to achieving healthy longevity, balance between mTOR and autophagy is essential. Our ancestral humans achieved this naturally due to their lifestyle of eating once a day, spending four hours digesting their food, and sometimes going two or three days without nutrient intake. But today, food is available all the time, leading to an over-activation of mTOR and a lack of autophagy. To restore the balance, intermittent fasting, rapamycin, exercise, and eating healthy are advocated. When it comes to rapamycin, it's important to remember that it won't override bad habits and it's not a miracle quick fix. To gain the full benefits, a reasonable diet, exercise, and sleep regularly are necessary.

Could you imagine a condition that affects virtually every organ, eludes the standard diagnostic criteria, and causes multi-system inflammation? Meet the perplexing world of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is an elusive condition that affects many, yet remains largely misunderstood. MCAS is a syndrome that triggers multi-system inflammation, and due to its diverse range of symptoms, it often eludes typical diagnostic processes. It has a profound impact on both the body and mind. Mast cells are integral to our innate immune system, playing a crucial role in safeguarding us against foreign invaders, allergens, and environmental toxins. However, potential triggers of mast cell hyperactivity can range from environmental toxins to mold. Today I'm with Dr. Bruce Hoffman and we dissect this complex condition and delve into the critical role of mast cells in our immune system. Learn how mast cells, our body's fierce protectors against toxins, might turn hyperactive due to triggers like environmental toxins, heavy metals, or mold, launching a cell danger response that could send your body into a protective shutdown. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we explore the intersection of physical and mental health. Focusing on those battling MCAS and early developmental trauma, Dr. Hoffman shares invaluable self-regulation strategies and lends insight into the significance of neurofeedback and building a window of tolerance. Dr. Hoffman is board-certified and has a fellowship in anti-aging medicine as well as a Master's degree in clinical nutrition. He is also a certified functional medicine practitioner. In addition to his clinical training, Dr. Hoffman has studied with many of the leading mind-body and spiritual healers of our times, including Deepak Chopra, Paul Lowe, Osho, Ramesh Balsekar, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. He has shared the stage with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. John F. Demartini, and he continues to spread his inspiring vision of healing and wellness with audiences and patients around the world.

This can result in a wide range of symptoms and can be difficult to diagnose. Potential triggers of this hyperactivity can include environmental toxins, mold, and certain foods. Physical and mental health are interconnected when it comes to MCAS. Individuals with this syndrome may have early developmental trauma which can exacerbate symptoms. Learning self-regulation techniques, such as neurofeedback, can be beneficial for managing stress and promoting balance in the body and mind. The treatment and management of MCAS is complex and often involves a combination of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, dietary adjustments, and the creation of a neutral environment. Continuous vigilance is necessary to avoid triggers and manage the condition effectively. It is crucial to build resilience against environmental toxins and to focus on overall well-being.

As a nutritionist, I've always been fascinated by food and the power of food to heal our bodies. Over the last couple of years, the rhetoric around diets has been heating up–from keto to paleo to vegan, vegetarian, and now even carnivore. Diets are just lifestyles, so what is best? Today I'm exploring this hot topic and sharing tips for adopting a new lifestyle or thinking about a new lifestyle and then applying it. Do your homework before making a dramatic diet change. It's vital to collect data about your health and I discuss the importance of baseline tests and how to measure and monitor your progress when changing dietary lifestyles. Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: https://www.NatNiddam.com Join Nat's Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08 What we discuss: 11:14 - Discussion on Vegan and Carnivore Diets 20:17 - Baseline Testing for a Lifestyle Change 25:54 - Importance of Proper Guidance in Dietary Approaches 30:27 - Committing to Dietary Changes 35:58 - Optimal Diets and Lifestyle for Longevity Key takeaways: There's not a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to diet and nutrition. Dietary choices should be based on personal health status, lifestyle, and genetic makeup rather than blindly following popular trends or extreme diets. It's important to test and collect data when making a diet change. It's advised to do blood work, assess micronutrient status, and examine the gut microbiome to get a clear picture of one's starting point. Monitoring body composition, such as getting a DEXA scan, is also suggested to measure progress. Long-term health and longevity are complex and cannot be solely attributed to a single dietary choice. Other lifestyle factors such as caloric restriction, periods of fasting, regular physical activity, and stress management are also crucial for promoting longevity.

Have you ever heard of heavy water? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, I chat with Victor Sagalovsky, Co-Founder and CEO of Litewater Scientific, about deuterium-depleted water. Deuterium is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen that has an extra neutron in its nucleus, making it twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen, thus where it got its name of heavy water. Studies suggest that reducing deuterium levels in the body can have positive effects on various biological processes, such as improved cellular function, enhanced energy production, increased support of the immune system, and potential anti-aging properties. Victor also shares how much deuterium we should have in our bodies, how long it takes to see results from drinking deuterium-depleted water, and who is most likely to experience the biggest shift in their health from intaking heavy water. Victor Sagalovsky is the co-founder and CEO of Litewater Scientific, the first and only super deuterium-depleted light water, where he has dedicated himself to the research, development, and production of this rare water. Victor has researched and studied the benefits of deuterium-depleted water through his theory entitled Endogenous Radiation Damage Theory of Aging. It proposes that our biggest obstacle to longevity is the excess deuterium and other damaging isotopes on the planet and proper mitigation will radically extend our lifespans.

Key takeaways: Deuterium is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen that has an extra neutron in its nucleus, making it twice as heavy as ordinary hydrogen, thus where it got its name of heavy water. Deuterium-depleted water is considered to be a huge factor in why certain people get to live past 100 years old. Not only does it improve mitochondrial function, but it also helps reduced oxidative stress, enhance cellular repair, and regulate hormones that influence aging and lifespan. Deuterium mainly affects mitochondrial function, which plays a crucial role in energy production by generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is because deuterium has a larger mass compared to hydrogen, which can influence the rates of enzymatic reactions occurring in the mitochondria. High levels of deuterium in the mitochondria can also disrupt the balance of cellular redox reactions and potentially impact mitochondrial function.

Ready to challenge the current beliefs about meat consumption? There are current narratives that have demonized meat, explicating the healing powers of grass-fed pasture-raised meats for both our bodies and the planet. Today we're debunking myths and misconceptions about meat consumption and its environmental impact. I'm joined by Autumn Smith, and we're discussing the potential of regenerative farming techniques, compared to conventionally raised beef. We navigate through the arguments against beef consumption and Autumn sheds light on how regenerative farming could be scaled to meet the needs of a growing population. We also discuss the critical role of humane treatment of animals in our food choices and reflect on our obligation as omnivores to respect the natural cycle of life. Autumn Smith is the co-founder of Wild Pastures and Paleovalley, a company dedicated to helping people get the essential nutrients they need without added sugars, grains, or other harmful ingredients.

(0:48:10) - Nutrients in food (0:53:17) - Negatives of meat (0:57:41) - Beliefs and science of meat consumption (1:02:54) - Organ meats Key Takeaways: Conventional meat production, which is largely based on factory farming, is not sustainable due to its environmental impacts. Regenerative agriculture, on the other hand, uses animals in a more sustainable way by working with nature rather than against it. This results in healthier soil, more nutrient-dense food, and the potential to sequester carbon. There is a common misconception that meat is a major cause of disease. However, the real dietary villains are sugar, carbohydrates, and processed foods. Animal products are our most nutrient-dense foods, but the quality and source of the meat you consume matters significantly. Grass-fed, pasture-raised meat has significant health benefits and is better for the environment than grain-fed, factory-farmed meat. Traditional diets often incorporated organ meats, suggesting that they have long been recognized for their nutritional benefits. Consuming organ meats, such as heart, liver, kidney, and spleen, can be beneficial for their nutrient profile, which includes zinc, iron, B12, and vitamin A.

In recent years, there has been a significant change in how we approach and address diseases. Previously, the responsibility of maintaining good health largely relied on the healthcare system. However, this mindset has shifted, and individuals are now encouraged to play an active role in advocating for their own health. Understanding the biochemical processes that contribute to illnesses, such as Alzheimer's, has become crucial in managing and taking control of our personal health journey. By recognizing the intricate mechanisms that lead to diseases like Alzheimer's, we can make more informed decisions regarding our lifestyle choices, medical interventions, and preventative measures. I'm joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, and we're diving into the intricacies of Alzheimer's, its prevention, and even reversal possibilities. We cover the crucial role of the immune system in both Alzheimer's and COVID, and the fascinating connections between these diseases. Dr. Bredesen also discusses his lab's ground-breaking work to understand the neurodegenerative process, which has resulted in three books and thousands of people experiencing improvements in their conditions. Dale E. Bredesen, M.D., is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's (Avery, 2017) and The End of Alzheimer's Program (Avery, 2020), as well as The First Survivors of Alzheimer's (Avery, 2021). He has held faculty positions at UC San Francisco, UCLA, and the University of California San Diego, and directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is currently a professor at UCLA. Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Mitopure: Use code NAT10 for 10% your order at https://www.timelinenutrition.com/shop/nutrition.

These tests are comprehensive and not typically performed by most doctors. They examine various factors that contribute to cognitive decline, such as ongoing inflammation, toxin levels, and metabolism. Additionally, the tests also cover factors like sleep apnea, as reduced oxygenation during sleep can negatively impact brain health. If an individual has zero copies of the APOE4 gene, their lifetime risk for developing Alzheimer's disease is approximately 9%. While this risk is not zero, it is not considered significantly high. On the other hand, individuals with a single copy of the APOE4 gene have a much higher lifetime risk of around 30% for developing Alzheimer's. Those with two copies of the gene have an even greater risk of about 70%, suggesting that a majority of them will likely develop Alzheimer's during their lifetime. There is an interesting phenomenon associated with receiving certain vaccines early in life, such as the BCG vaccine, which has been shown to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. It appears that preparing the adaptive immune system at an early stage may be beneficial. On the contrary, when the innate immune system is modified later in life through late vaccinations, boosters, or exposure to substances like beta-glucans, it can potentially elevate the activity of the innate system again.

Can you imagine a world where you're not bound by the inevitability of aging? These days it seems as though there's a never-ending pursuit of immortality, but it's important to question the quality of life that extended lifespans might offer. The secret to a longer, happier life may not solely lie in age-reversing technologies and biohacking techniques, but rather in our experiences and connections with the world. I'm joined by Dr. Christopher Shade, and we're diving into the realm of biohacking, self-care, and the prospects of reversing and embracing aging. From nutrition and detoxification to stem cells and peptides, we discuss the plethora of tools at our disposal to reverse the aging process. We also cover the practical implications of integrating one's consciousness into a machine, and why self-care and taking responsibility for our emotional health is essential. Dr. Christopher Shade, PhD, founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific®, specializes in the biological, environmental, and analytical chemistry of mercury in all its forms and their interactions with sulfur compounds, particularly glutathione and its enzyme system. Dr. Shade is regularly sought out to speak as an educator on the topics of mercury, environmental toxicities, neuroinflammation, immune dysregulation, and the human detoxification system in the United States and internationally. He has helped corporate executives, professional athletes, celebrities, children with autism, patients with chronic immune disorders and more.

We don't necessarily have to get upset when someone says something negative to us, as our emotional reactions are our own responsibility. This also extends to taking 100% responsibility for our own personal growth and life journey, and being mindful of our words and actions towards others. Bile serves as the pathway for toxins to exit the liver and enter the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, stress, being in a sympathetic state, and estrogen dominance can block bile flow. This can lead to activation of glutamate receptors and hinder the prioritization of regenerative processes. It is easy to fall into an inflammatory state, inhibiting positive growth and contributing to weight gain. Toxins play a role in triggering and prolonging this inflammatory state, preventing us from entering a positive, regenerative state. There are a multitude of environmental toxins that we are exposed to, as well as our own biological waste, which can accumulate if our body's processes are not functioning properly.

Whether you're a professional athlete or someone who just wants to maintain muscle mass as you get older, mitophagy is a process we should all be focusing on. Prioritizing strategies that enhance mitophagy and promote muscle health can significantly contribute to a healthier and longer life. But what exactly can we do to promote mitophagy? Luckily, my guest today is an expert in the science of mitochondrial activation, and he's sharing insights on the supplement that you need in your longevity routine. I'm joined by Dr. Anurag Singh, and we're diving into the realm of mitochondrial activation and its impact on muscle performance and health. We also shed light on the role of immunity in a healthy, long life, focusing on how mitochondrial health can rev up our immune systems. Dr. Singh also shares his insights on how mitochondrial health can influence skin health and reverse sun damage, and the development of topical formulations that can improve mitochondrial health in the skin.

It both produces and consumes the most energy currency, ATP. This is because even small movements like getting up from a chair or climbing stairs require a significant amount of energy. Activating mitophagy, the process by which damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria are selectively removed, has been shown to have significant positive effects on muscle performance. By selectively eliminating these damaged components, it allows for the generation of new and healthy mitochondria, thus enhancing muscle function. Maintaining a healthy immune system can directly impact our overall health and lifespan. Immune cells, just like muscle, brain, and heart cells, contain numerous mitochondria. These mitochondria play a crucial role in supporting the high energy demands of immune cells.

Did you know that hormones play a pivotal role in directing the course of your health throughout your lifetime? From physical growth and development to emotional well-being and reproductive health, these chemical messengers are vital for our overall well-being. Understanding how hormones function and seeking appropriate medical guidance can help us navigate through the various stages of life while maintaining hormonal balance. Dr. Felice Gersh joins me as we take a closer look at the different types of estrogens, their individual impacts on the body, and the importance of understanding their nuances for overall health. We also discuss how reproduction is the prime directive of life and how hormones act as 'hormonal glue' to enable reproductive success. Plus, we dive into some of the benefits and complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), including when to start and the potential risks associated with it. Dr. Felice Gersh is board-certified in both OB/GYN and Integrative Medicine. She is the founder and Medical Director of the Integrative Medical Group of Irvine. Always passionate about learning and education, she taught obstetrics and gynecology at Keck USC School of Medicine for 12 years as an Assistant Clinical Professor.

However, in the first few years after menopause, there is a significant acceleration of bone loss. If individuals have not proactively taken measures to mitigate this rapid loss, their condition could worsen. This pattern can be applied to other organ systems as well, where starting the menopausal transition in a good state overall leads to better outcomes. It is essential to understand that the testosterone produced by the ovaries plays a crucial role in promoting overall health and well-being in women. The ovaries have the ability to produce testosterone indefinitely in a different part of the ovary, even after the eggs are depleted. This explains why removing the ovaries, even in post-menopausal years when they are no longer producing estrogen or progesterone, can negatively impact a woman's health and increase mortality. The prime directive of life is reproduction, and humans are the only species on the planet that actively work towards controlling their reproductive fate. Unlike animals in the wild, humans have the capability to make deliberate decisions about when to have children. Setting aside the aspect of choice, it is crucial to understand that the female body is inherently optimized and designed for fertility and reproduction.
