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.

Benzodiazepines are a type of medicine typically used to treat anxiety and insomnia. However, when used over the long term, they can be highly addictive and dangerous for many reasons. In this episode, we hear from Nicole Lamberson, a physician assistant, and member of the Benzodiazepine Coalition. Benzodiazepines and other “z-drugs” devastated Nicole's health. She has experience taking benzodiazepines (Klonopin, Xanax, Valium) and a Z-drug (Ambien) and with withdrawal syndrome, which caused significant disruption to her sleep (insomnia). Nicole and the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition caution the long term use of benzos for sleep. We discuss sleep and anxiety during the withdrawal process & beyond, the strategies to address these concerns, and ways to connect with qualified benzo-literate doctors to support a tapering process when applicable. The Benzodiazepine Coalition is an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the risks of these drugs, and Nicole is proud to be a part of their work. By sharing her story, she hopes to help others avoid the same problem and be aware of what can happen if they are prescribed these drugs.GUEST BIO: Nicole is a Physician Assistant residing in Virginia. She obtained a BS at James Madison University in 2000 and then went on to complete the Master of Physician Assistant program at Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2004. She practiced in an Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine setting until severe illness from benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome left her unable to work.In 2005, she was prescribed Xanax for “work-related stress.” Over the course of five years, she developed many classic symptoms of benzodiazepine tolerance withdrawal, which multiple psychiatrists misdiagnosed as mental illness. This resulted in prescribed polypharmacy to “treat” the troubling symptoms of tolerance, including two benzodiazepines prescribed simultaneously, a Z-drug, an antidepressant, and an antipsychotic. In late 2010, after discovering a magazine article authored by a journalist experiencing similar symptoms from his prescribed benzodiazepine, Nicole was prompted to research further and made the connection between her own troubling symptoms and the medication. This was followed by her immediate decision to withdraw. Unfortunately, lacking the proper guidance or information at the time regarding the absolute need for a slow taper, she was negligently cold-turkeyed in a detox center. This ultimately resulted in a severe and protracted withdrawal syndrome that persists to date.When symptoms allow, Nicole writes about benzodiazepines and their potential to cause severe and/or protracted withdrawal syndromes and volunteers her time helping with ongoing benzodiazepine awareness initiatives including Benzodiazepine Information Coalition and the Benzodiazepine Action Work Group of the Colorado Consortium. Nicole also co-founded The Withdrawal Project and she does marketing, distribution and outreach for Medicating Normal-The Film. She is an associate at the International Institute for Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal. She hopes to continue to use her lived experience to advocate for more education and awareness around benzodiazepine risks and harms as well as for changes in prescribing and withdrawal practices.
