In this podcast episode we talk about menopause. Some may go through menopause with very little symptoms. But, for many, their experience is unpleasant.

We talk about what's normal and what isn't.

We discuss the connection between menopause and your thyroid and why it can lead to hypothyroidism.

We also talk about what you can do to help balance your hormones as you go through menopause.

In this episode we talk about 4 vitamins and minerals that when deficient, can cause insomnia. We begin the episode talking about the most common cause of insomnia in women over the age of 40... elevated cortisol.

We then talk about vitamin D, vitamin B12, magnesium, and iron. 

We talk about the reasons why you end up with a problem with any of them and the connection to sleep. If you're not sleeping well... one of these deficiencies is most likely to blame.

In this episode we talk about a recent study showing only 12% of the population has normal values for the following metabolic markers:

  • Waist circumference
  • Fasting blood sugar levels
  • Blood Pressure
  • Triglycerides
  • HDL

This means that 88% of the population has abnormal markers and have (or at serious risk) of having metabolic syndrome. This study is an indictment on the current dietary advice and it's time for major changes.

We talk about the importance of each of the metabolic markers mentioned above and what they can put you at risk for. We also talk about how to REVERSE metabolic syndrome.

In this episode we talk about 8 signs the you're low in Vitamin D. It's important to know that Vitamin D is crucial to health and longevity. Low blood levels of Vitamin D increase your risk of premature death.

As important as Vitamin D is, a majority of people simply do not get enough. It's estimated that up to 90% of the population doesn't have optimized blood Vitamin D levels. It also doesn't help that the RDA of Vitamin D is too low and based off of bad math.

It's no coincidence that flu rates increase the same time of year that we get much less sun exposure.

In this podcast we talk about 8 common symptoms of low Vitamin D.

  • Sore muscles.
  • Poor immune system.
  • High blood pressure.
  • Depression.
  • Gut trouble.
  • Hair Loss.
  • Excessive sweating.
  • Dementia.

As you can see, every system in your body is at risk if you don't get enough vitamin D.

Strong muscle means better ICU survival.

We also talk about the importance of doing more resistance exercises.

The brain weighs only a few pounds. It makes up about 2% of your overall body mass. But, it uses 25% of all your energy. Your brain requires a lot of energy. A byproduct of energy production is waste.

The rest of your body has an excretory system (lungs, liver, sweat glands, kidneys) that help get rid of waste.

But what about the brain? How does it get rid of waste? Until recently, that was a mystery. Researchers have recently discovered a new system called the glymphatic system. This system is the plumbing of your brain.

In this episode we talk about the importance of this new system for brain health.

We also discuss a new study on cortisol showing the bad effects it has on your brain.

The third study we talk about is on the importance of DHA for brain health. A new study has shown DHA can help prevent Alzheimer's with it's unique ability to help improve glucose uptake in brain cells.

We discuss an editorial that was written in the Journal of the American Medical Association that found for every 100 people taking a statin...

2 avoid a myocardial infarction

98 don't experience any benefit

0 mortality benefit

5-20 experience muscle aches, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, increased risk of diabetes.

We also talk about the paper from 17 international physicians based on a review of patient data of almost 1.3 million people.

The paper found no evidence that high levels of total cholesterol or of "bad" cholesterol cause heart disease.

We also talk about the real causes of heart disease and the best natural approaches you can take to prevent the disease.

Oct 11, 2018

In this episode we talk about a recent study that sheds some light on why almost 50% of people with Alzheimer's have hyperinsulinemia.

A new study looked at the effect that sugar has on the macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) enzyme.

A diet high in sugar can destroy the MIF enzyme. Why is that a big deal?

The MIF enzyme plays a massive role in your immune response.

Too much sugar can lead to out of control inflammation in your brain.

Dementia and Alzheimer's are a growing problem.

Dementia is now the #1 killer in the U.K.

More seniors die with Alzheimers's than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

We also talk about some practical ways to help protect your brain from inflammation.

Imagine having a 30 year advanced notice for a major disease.

We also talk about a fish oil study showing that it can lower inflammation in older adults. Since chronic inflammation ages you quicker and hurts your brain, it's important to understand how good fish oil is for inflammation.
