HealthCast Now - The Intersection of Health, Wellness & Circadian Optimization

Tommy Wood is the chief medical officer of Nourish Balance Thrive, a company that developed a science-based, personalized support program to help clients regain their optimal performance through various lifestyle changes. Before he found the path to fitness and wellness, Tommy’s idea of a health routine involved lots of TV time and a pack of cookies. He escaped that life when he went to college to get a degree in biochemistry, worked as a traditional doctor of medicine, and obtained a PhD in physiology and neuroscience. He has since worked with many clients and helped them get their lives back. Today, Tommy shares his thoughts on the importance of sleep, what he thinks real food should be made of, and why getting a six-pack now might not be great for long-term. "It's very difficult to do circadian rhythm and sleep by brute force.” Dr. Tommy Wood In this episode, you’ll learn: If a client hits a plateau, it's usually the environment than exercise and diet. Circadian rhythm is important for long term wellness. It's not just about avoiding blue light, but also getting a lot of sunlight during the day. It's important to have a tailored fit into your wellness routine. Eating seasonally is eating the way the body is designed to eat. Where you are and what grows locally there tell you what you should be eating. Be your own health advocate and watch out for biased articles or studies. Even Olive oil products can be adulterated and become unhealthy for consumption. Do your research and make sure it's all made of olive oil. If you are trying to get a certain performance in a certain sport, then some form of excess training is fine, but what you may be training might not be good for you in the long term. Tommy shares what The Upside Down Movement Pyramid is all about. Strength and muscle mass are some of the best predictors of longevity. When it comes to following advice from someone in social media, be careful. What someone projects and what's going on under the hood is not the same thing. Looking online for answers or being part of a community is okay, but don't forget to have personal connections outside the internet. The earlier you build these relationships, the better. Key Takeaways: You’re better off being strong and healthy for 70-80 years rather than have a six-pack now and go down from there. Anything that doesn't come in a package or cook from a single ingredient is real food. If it comes in a box, don't buy it. When you spend so much time on social media, you won't get deep connection or purpose you need for long term health. Find some human interaction.

Dr. Sachin Patel is a functional medicine expert, practitioner, and coach for patients and practitioners wanting to improve their health or the health of their patients. His journey started as a traditionally trained chiropractor, graduated specializing in sports injuries and soft tissue therapy when his interest and passion shifted to helping people achieve their health goals through functional medicine techniques. Dr. Sachin has worked with countless top-performing professional athletes, Olympians, and patients and strongly believes that the reason that some patients feel they are not receiving appropriate health from the medical practitioners is because “the approach is completely backwards.” Today, he explains why getting to the root of the cause of an illness or disease by incorporating proven, functional medicine techniques can significantly impact a person’s overall health and wellness. He provides simple, valuable tips and strategies that anyone can incorporate into their day-to-day routine and experience significant results. “When it comes to our health, it’s simple things we do consistently that can set off the chain reaction of nature.” – Dr. Sachin Patel In This Episode You Will Learn: How functional medicine and traditional medicine differ. Why Dr. Sachin believes that functional medicine is the future of medicine. Autonomic tone and how it affects the healing process. How cortisol and insulin are closely related Why nutrition, meal scheduling, and the mental state we are in during a meal are so important to how we digest food.

Yuri Elkaim is a popular name in the world of health and nutrition, but it wasn’t like that before. In fact, Yuri was practically clueless when it came to nutrition, but he did love sports especially soccer/football. His life changing moment was when he realized his bouts of hair loss were brought about by an autoimmune issue called alopecia. Doctors couldn’t explain why, so he thought he would live the rest of his life hairless. It wasn’t until he learned about holistic nutrition that he ended up curing himself. He has since strived to help those around him, to give them hope that there is still a way to treat whatever health issues they might have. Today, Yuri tells us his story of how he became the Yuri we know now, his thoughts on the whole “Metabolism is like a fireplace” analogy, why he thinks fasting is good for you, the importance of sleep when it comes to making decisions, and why we should learn to decipher when we’re hungry and when we’re full without relying on an eating schedule.   “There's no law that says 'thou shall have to do cardio after my weight training.'” Yuri Elkaim     In this episode, you’ll learn: The typical North American diet is not healthy at all. The fireplace analogy on metabolism is a myth. Eating all the time to "stoke the flames" won't help you lose weight. In fact, it might lead to more unnecessary weight gain and energy crashing. Metabolism is the sum of all the breakdown and buildup in your body; catabolism and anabolism. 70% of the calories you burn come from BMR or the calories burned at rest. This is heavily dependent on lean muscle mass. If you want to lose weight you have to pack on some muscle. It’s a long-term approach to not just weight loss but overall wellness too. Fasting is not starving yourself. When done right, you can fast regularly aka intermittent fasting. People can be psychologically hungry or physiologically hungry. Psychologically hunger is triggered by environmental or emotional cues to make you feel comfortable in certain situations. Listening to your body can mean not eating at the usual time; breakfast at 1 PM is when you break your fast. Too much cardio crushes your thyroid and the problem is not the exercises themselves but the duration and frequency. Endurance cardio is not exactly the ideal form of exercise for long-term. Leptin and Ghrelin are hunger hormones sensitive to sleep. Leptin tells you to stop eating and Ghrelin tells you to keep eating. Less sleep produces more ghrelin and reduces leptin.   Key Takeaways: Eat when you’re hungry and stop when your full. You have to be aware "when" you’re hungry. Women shouldn't be worried about building muscle as they are not as naturally capable of bulking compared to men. When you sleep, try to make the room a lot like a dark, cold tomb. It’ll boost the quality of your sleep more than sleeping in a warm room penetrated by light.   Connect with Cathe Friedrich: Yuri Elkaim Facebook Youtube THE ALL-DAY ENERGY DIET book by Yuri Elkaim THE ALL-DAY FAT BURNING DIET book by Yuri Elkaim   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire   Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Krisstina Wise is known as a real estate genius, financial coach, and podcast host. She was always a go-getter, making sure she makes use of her time and money in the most efficient ways possible to not only accomplish her goals, but also make sure her successes lead to money and lots of it. She achieved what she set out to do, but at the cost of her own health. She has since embarked on the journey to learn more about how to keep her health in line with her goals as well, as how to be always in touch with her inner self, despite all things that may cause distractions. Today, Krisstina talks about her health journey, her opinions on our healthcare system, and her tips on how people can invest in their health according to what they expect their body to accomplish.   "If you were a billionaire you'd give your last billion dollars to get your health back if that's what it cost.” Krisstina Wise   In this episode, you’ll learn: Krisstina was always going for the hustle and it yielded magnificent results. This model worked well until it didn’t and shortly found herself in her death bed just days after celebrating her recent accomplishments. She thought she was the epitome of good health with what she knew about health and wellness before being in her death bed. She was so into accomplishments and social circles that she overlooked her health. In the end, she consulted with a functional practitioner and cost her $250,000.00 to get her life back on track. She spent $250,000.00 because her body was her best asset. She realized none of her achievements mattered compared to her family and her own health and personal happiness. She also realized we should change the way we approach our healthcare system. We invest very little in our health; our body is our number one asset. When we don't have our body we can't make money or live a meaningful life. She also likened the way we should care for our body to how we care for cars. Our body is meant to go fast but we also have to make sure we invest in their constant maintenance to perform at that level. She says people have three freedoms to achieve: Political, Health, and Financial freedom.   Key Takeaways: Money matters more than anything but it’s not about the money. You have to know how much money is enough. When you’re able to quantify that, you become more content with life. When your health is taken away there is no freedom. Invest on your health based on how much your body, your main asset, is worth.   Connect with Krisstina Wise: Wealthy Wellthy Life Facebook   Mentioned in this episode The 28 Day Money Makeover Live Webinar   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire   Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Tara Grant, also known as Primal Girl, has been living an ancestral lifestyle since 2009. Her story wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies, though, as she also struggled with her weight and her own body issues all throughout her life. Before she knew of the Paleo diet, she tried other fad diets which literally did nothing for her. Even the doctors didn’t know what to do with her condition. It wasn’t until she read about living a Paleo lifestyle that she finally managed to bring about a huge transformation. She has since actively told her story, her struggles and successes, so she can serve as an inspiration to others. In today’s episode, Tara talks about the many changes she's made to transform herself, her own fitness inspirations, and her story of how she changed her life from being a 260 lbs. struggling dieter to a 143 lbs. personal trainer. “Listen to your gut, to yourself. If something works or doesn't work for you then that's true for you.” Tara Grant In this episode, you’ll learn: The many fad diets she tried that didn’t work despite her fondness of training and dieting. What book inspired her to revise her lifestyle for the better. She felt so weak and riddled with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, it was like she was an 80-year-old in her 20’s. Her body had insulin issues so the Paleo diet was perfect due to the low carb requirement. She went full paleo overnight. Having too much dairy in your diet might be what’s causing you many health problems. Full functional movement, with or without weights, is better than using machines. Being able to bend over and touch your toes is a pretty good indication of health. The importance of sleeping and waking up in a more “natural” manner. Eliminating blue light is the best practice before sleep. Be more social outside your phone. Physical human interaction is a necessity for our survival as a species. Key Takeaways: We're the only mammals that think we need milk after nursing so try and see what happens when you remove all forms of dairy for at least 30 days.

On today’s episode, Kevin is joined by inveterate biohacker and founder of MitoLife Matt Blackburn. Matt shares his interesting story on how he started his journey into optimal health and wellness on a very different path as a vegetarian and then discovered he was way off track.  Before founding MitoLife, Matt began to study the critical role that DHA and Circadian alignment played on health and especially on Mitochondrial Health. Matt and Kevin discuss the critical role that sunlight, especially in the morning and DHA play in health and wellness. Today, he shares some of his advice, suggestions, and tips to help you improve your overall health and wellness, allow your body to repair after a strenuous workout, and fight off many diseases. “DHA, especially from Algae sources is far superior to supplementing with Fish Oil.” Matt Blackburn In This Episode You Will Learn: Matt’s daily routine for optimal health and wellness. Harmful effects of artificial light (blue light) from technology and why is should be avoided at night. Why DHA is superior to fish oil for optimal Mitochondrial health. Why sunlight, especially in the morning anchors your Circadian cycle daily and should be part of any health regimen Why circadian alignment is more important than diet and exercise and should be your first focus   Connect with Matt Blackburn: MitoLife Website   The Takeaway: “Using DHA from Algae and optimizing your circadian based cycles will supercharge your Mitochondria and Health.” – Matt Blackburn Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Head Strong Book & Optimizing Mitochondrial Health and Wellness with Dave Asprey Dave Asprey is the founder of Bulletproof Exec, a company geared towards biohacking to make sure the human body not only functions optimally, but ages slowly too. Before the invention of the now famous Bulletproof coffee, Dave was just another man walking the halls of Silicon Valley who once weighed a total of 300 unhealthy pounds. That was 20 years ago and he has since lost 100 pounds. He devoted his life to health and longevity and spent 15 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars hacking his own biology. Today, Dave talks about his new book called Head Strong, the reason why he wrote that book, his latest findings, and why he is now one of mitochondria’s biggest fans. "I changed breakfast for millions of people using biohacking.” Dave Asprey In this episode, you’ll learn: The Bulletproof Diet teaches you how to eat to have more energy and power with weight loss as a side effect. His new book explains why the Bulletproof diet works. When you know how mitochondria works, walking barefoot makes sense, cold bathing makes sense. Neurons in the brain prefer ketones, but glial cells prefer glucose more than ketones. Our brain has thousands more mitochondria than the whole body. Light is terribly important for mitochondrial health. You can get energy from melanin, not just in your skin, but also in your brain and eyes. Mitochondrial dysfunction can also be called aging. Key Takeaways: Mitochondria are the ones calling the shots, not you. Your mitochondria listen to your phone and Wi-Fi. The mitochondria are the smallest unit of consciousness in the body and the fastest bio sensors.

Tyler LeBaron - Part 2 of 2 Tyler W. LeBaron is the Founder and Executive Director of the science-based nonprofit Molecular Hydrogen Foundation/Institute. His background is in biochemistry and was a 1-year Adjunct Instructor of Physiology. He Interned at Nagoya University in the department of Neurogenetics to research the molecular mechanisms of hydrogen gas on cell signaling pathways. He is a director of the International Hydrogen Standards Association (IHSA) and the International Molecular Hydrogen Association (IMHA). He speaks at Medical conferences in the US for doctors CMEs/CEUs, and at academic biomedical hydrogen symposia and conferences around the world. He is also a member of the Academic Committee of Taishan Institute for Hydrogen Biomedical Research. He collaborates with researchers at home and abroad, and helps advance the education, research, and awareness of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas. Molecular hydrogen (H2) or diatomic hydrogen is a tasteless, odorless, flammable gas. Over 500 peer-reviewed articles demonstrate hydrogen to have therapeutic potential in essentially every organ of the human body and in 150 different human disease models. H2 reduces oxidative stress as a selective antioxidant and by maintaining homeostatic levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc. H2, like other gaseous signaling molecules (i.e. NO, CO, H2S), appears to have cell signal-modulating activity affording it with anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-allergy benefits.

Morley formerly worked as a hospital executive and consultant for over 32 years and currently works as a certified health coach. He has helped over 7,000 people on a one-on-one basis. Morley explains how magnesium and vitamin D work in conjunction at the cellular level to maintain our heart, brain, gastrointestinal functions as well as other important areas of our body. He explains how this mineral works in our bodies and what can happen when we are not getting enough of either magnesium or vitamin D – as well as provides actionable tips on how you can check your magnesium and vitamin D levels and ways you can improve these levels to prevent various chronic health problems. “Most people regard minerals as ‘hood ornaments’ instead of ‘keys to start the engine’.” – Morley Robbins In This Episode You Will Learn: How does magnesium affect the heart, brain, and gastrointestinal functions? 45% of your metabolic function is attributed to magnesium. How stress affects your magnesium levels. Why a physically fit, seemingly healthy person can still experience magnesium and mineral deficiency issues. The importance of vitamin D, sunlight, and how it relates to magnesium. Morley’s advice for people with vitamin D deficiencies. Ways to increase vitamin D naturally while balancing your circadian rhythm. How stress leads to fibrosis. Why you need a magnesium RBC test instead of a serum test. The differences between lab magnesium ranges and healthy magnesium ranges. What to do if your magnesium RBC test is out of range. Common stress-inducing factors. Early Signs of Low Magnesium: Regular headaches Constipation Acid reflux Cramping in your feet and hands Diseases related to low magnesium: Alzheimer’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease Lu Gehrig’s Disease Huntingdon’s Disease Multiple Sclerosis Heart Disease Liver and Digestive Disorders Mentioned in This Episode: The Magnesium Miracle book by Carolyn Dean The Magnesium Advocacy Group Magnesium RBC Test Key Takeaway: Be mindful of the fact that as you go through your day, and the stressfulness of your day, your body is going through a magnesium burn rate. Be vigilant of the price tag you are paying for that stress. Get a vitamin D test.

Lisa Perkins is a health coach who once suffered from common health issues regarding her weight and had bouts of depression and anxiety. She figured out ways to get the weight off, but she did them in ways she doesn’t consider healthy. It wasn’t until she was in her late 30’s that she decided to finally take a hold of her life and learn about how to be healthy, not just for her sake of it, but also so she can be a good example to her children. Today, Lisa gives us her thoughts on how we should listen to our body more, what she thinks are necessary when starting a healthy lifestyle, and provide a few tips on some basic health guidelines that most people should not have any trouble following. "Our body's talking to us all the time and we literally stopped listening.” Lisa Perkins In this episode, you’ll learn: We have this mindset that makes us follow gurus and attempt to copy their health template word-per-word. What many people don’t know is there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a healthy lifestyle. Short-term health strategies yield short-term results. We only have one stress bucket and people should be careful not to fill it to the brim. We equate diet and exercise with deprivation and pain. A ketogenic diet is beneficial but it won't work as good if you're always stressed. There are so many approaches and a ketogenic diet is just one of the tools in the toolbox. A keto diet requires lots of tracking and monitoring. Lisa says a good way to start a healthy diet is by eating 30-40g high quality protein each meal, fill at least half the plate with organic, non-starchy vegetables, and 2 tbsp. of natural fat. The goal is to reduce and totally eliminate packaged or processed food. Key Takeaways: We need to build self-awareness; we need to rebuild relationships with ourselves. When it comes to embarking on a health journey, acceptance, curiosity, and patience is necessary. We have an evolutionary mismatch on how we were designed to live as humans and what society tells us all the time.

Dr. Lindsay Henderson is a clinical psychologist and currently the assistant director of Psychological Services at American Well. Before her position as assistant director, Lindsay worked as Staff Psychologist in the Child and Adolescent Division at McLean Hospital and also has experience in Harvard Medical School as Clinical Instructor. Her work revolves around adolescents and helping them cope with distress and emotional difficulty. Today, Lindsay talks about how today’s kids and young adolescents suffer stress primarily due to lack of sleep brought on by excessive use of smart phones and tablets. She also gives tips to parents regarding how to properly handle their kids’ relationship with technology.   “Our technology progresses much more than parenting can keep up with.” Dr. Lindsay Henderson In this episode, you’ll learn: There is a dysfunction in parenting in today’s society particularly on sleep issues with children. Advances and changes in society make it difficult for kids and adolescents to learn how to get to sleep and stay asleep for a good amount of time. Integrating technology in children's lives safely and healthily is not as fast as advancements in technology. We should not have phones and tablets before bedtime. Constant access to technology provides a constant stimulation which results to a child never truly learning to tolerate their own thoughts or emotions by themselves, especially because social media is addictive. Kids constantly have tablets or phones that turn their attention away from the task at hand. They never learn how to focus on one thing. Families should implement tech-free time in the household. Tech-free time in the morning before school is important as it sets the tone of the day in our brains to go forth engaging mindfully with one task at a time. Emotional skillset may not develop and cultivate when kids turn their attention towards technology use. Sleep is a challenging task emotionally. Sleep is the ultimate separation from reality as we are vulnerable when we close our eyes for hours at a time. When people are unable to develop skills to tolerate separation it can be difficult to get yourself ready to sleep. Poor quantity of sleep correlates (not causes) trying drugs and alcohol at an earlier age.   Key Takeaways: Sleep is something that needs to be worked on constantly. It's a habit that needs to be practiced and developed.   Mentioned in this episode: American Well Limiting Kids Screen Time article on the Amwell blog   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire   Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Dr. Brooke Kalanick - Optimized Hormone Health & Wellness for Women. Dealing with Gallbladder and Thyroid challenges - Part 2 Dr. Brooke Kalanick is a Naturopathic Doctor and a functional health practitioner. She says she’s a primary-care doctor with a specialty in alternative medicine. She and her co-practitioners aren’t like conventional doctors in that they treat patients based on history, diet, lifestyle, and lots of blood work. Her focus is towards helping women with hormonal issues, weight loss, and other issues most women experience on a day-to-day basis. Today, Brooke tells us what her and her practice is all about, how they differ from conventional doctors, and her own thoughts and opinions on conventional medicine and the healthcare system. "We mistake common for normal.” Dr. Brooke Kalanick In this episode, you’ll learn: Conventional medicine is often all about treating the current symptom. What they don’t do very well is taking a look at the why of a patient’s health. The body will downregulate anything that it makes once we give it a replacement. Conventional practitioners aren’t trained to work the way naturopaths do. Some doctors are working for insurance companies. They want to help patients but the system is broken and it doesn’t serve doctor nor the patient for them to do good medicine. It's not the conventional practitioner that doesn't want you healthy but just how the system works. We think a lot of the things that happen to our bodies is normal because it’s common, because so many people do it or suffer for it, we mistake it as something that we shouldn’t be concerned about. Iodine will increase autoimmune response in many people. Just because it's good for your thyroid doesn't mean it's good for the whole body. Holistic doctors go more in depth when it comes to treating people's illnesses. Nothing gets fixed without proper sleep. Get back to doing things that nurture your body and help you and your body work together. Key Takeaways: We have to think of our health insurance like we treat car insurance. You can have emergencies covered by health insurance but the small things aren’t; there must always be a certain level of maintenance. There's no reason you should be miserable with your healthcare. Be your own advocate for getting proper care. Get to the root cause. Make smarter decisions and take things seriously, don't have that "they will be time for me later" mindset. You're worth the time, attention, and finances to take care of yourself now.

Vivica is a nutritionist, blogger, and a ketogenic cookbook author. Her fondness of the ketogenic diet stemmed from not just targeted learning experiences and seminars but also from how she used it to bounce back from a pre-diabetic state. She also realized the need for ketogenic research and practitioners, so she has since offered lifestyle programs centered around the ketogenic diet. Today, Vivica tells us how an average person can get started with a ketogenic diet, why she thinks a diet by macros aren’t ideal, and why she is strongly against dairy in any diet.   " When you have serious, underlying health issues, your macros aren't going to fix it.” Vivica Menegaz     In this episode, you’ll learn: There are many ways to “attack” a ketogenic diet. There are no one-size fits all approach. A ketogenic diet just means some macro nutrient ratios; it doesn't really tell you what you should be eating. Most ketogenic diet fans were motivated with weight loss. Vivica did it so she can bounce back from being a pre-diabetic. A standard ketogenic diet is high in dairy, Vivica promotes a Keto-Paleo approach because dairy products interfere with hormonal production. The basis of a keto-paleo diet is founded on high quality, nutrient dense food. It also has to be locally sourced and organic. Don't be obsessed with macros, focus on food quality. Auto-immune disease is common but it's not really a disease but a phase of disease. Every disease will go to an auto immune phase if left unchecked. A ketogenic diet is an ultra-low carb diet and it might not work for someone if they were to go with it for long-term. A good way to circumvent this is by doing a cyclical ketogenic diet.   Key Takeaways: Ask yourself if any food is designed for humans. Milk in cartons are usually for cows or goats. You don't have to get the perfect diet right away but the quality of food you get is important.   Connect with Vivica Menegaz: The Nourished Caveman Facebook   Mentioned in this episode: The Paleo Answer book by Loren Cordain, PH.D.   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire     Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show oniTunes.

Alex Fergus -Sleep Dive Part 2   To a lot of people, Alex Fergus is a health and fitness coach but before all that, he was first a typical rugby fan and a rowing competitor from New Zealand. His fitness enthusiasm eventually made him compete in the world of bodybuilding which gave him his fair share of awards and recognition. Today, Alex will talk about one of FitFluential Radio’s favorite topics: Sleep. He’ll give us the low down on the science behind sleep, how we can optimize our sleeping habits, and his tips on how to reset your circadian rhythm.   "Too many people get caught up with short-term gains even if it comes at the expense of long term benefits and performance.” Alex Fergus   In this episode, you’ll learn: When it comes to weight training, people often sacrifice rest and recovery for short term benefits. Overtraining may lead to quick muscle gains and weight loss but the body will suffer in the long term. One of the dangers of overtraining is adrenal fatigue which can impair your body’s ability to produce testosterone for long term. Sleep is important for just about all the body's processes specially recovery. Melatonin is an important hormone not just for sleep but for overall health and wellness. Low melatonin correlates to chronic diseases which is caused by chronic sleep deprivation. Even acute sleep deprivation can have destructive effects on your body. People ruin their circadian rhythm by using their phones right before they sleep. Technology use or even streetlights can misalign your circadian rhythm. Even sleep aids aren't enough due to hormonal changes that occurred in your body brought upon by circadian misalignment. Being exposed to so much light increases cortisol in the body which in turn "alerts" the body to stay awake despite the sleeping time. One way to reset your circadian rhythm is by going to a nearby park for the weekend, leaving your gadgets in the car, avoid artificial light, use campfire, and sleep when you’re tired.   Key Takeaways: Light is important as soon as you wake up or within the first few minutes of waking up. Expose your body and eyes to AM sunlight. This signals the body to suppress melatonin and produce cortisol, getting you ready for the day right before you’ve even had breakfast.   Connect with Alex Fergus: Alex Fergus Official Alex Fergus Interviews Facebook   Mentioned in this episode: Sound Asleep Course   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show oniTunes.

Health and wellness entrepreneur Alex Fergus has an interesting story to share about his journey to finding better health. Like many Americans, Alex grew up playing several sports throughout his childhood and college years – from competitive rowing to bodybuilding and weight-lifting. At an early age, Alex began suffering the effects of low testosterone and began his journey to transform his life, seek out better health choices, and learn more about healthy lifestyle changes including improving his circadian rhythms, eating healthier, and blocking blue light after sundown. Glyphosate, the active chemical in the weed killer RoundUp, is the world's most used herbicide. First discovered in 1950, glyphosate's herbicidal properties were not identified until 1970. It was quickly patented by agrochemical and biotech company Monsanto. Glyphosate is linked to a host of health maladies including Liver Disease, Kidney Disease, Antibiotic Resistance, Endocrine/Hormonal Disruption, Cancer, Mitochondrial Disease, etc “Ingestion of Glyphosate via food or water sources puts one a risk for many health issues and one of the reasons I take such a hardline stance to buy Organic only.” – Alex Fergus In This Episode, You Will Learn: What are PUFAs Why are PUFAs so unhealthy High Omega 6 Levels from PUFAs and Inflammation’ Death by PUFAs - What they are the worst thing you ingest’ PUFAs and Cancer PUFAs and Obesity   Mentioned in This Episode https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/glyphosate-the-weed-killer-found-in-our-food-water https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/glyphosate-why-you-need-to-eat-organic https://www.alexfergus.com/blog/how-to-protect-yourself-from-glyphosate   Key Takeaway: Avoiding Glyphosate (from Roundup) takes diligence and effort. The benefits, however, are likely the most significant as far as impact on your overall health, wellness, and fitness.   Connect with Alex Fergus: Alex Fergus website   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Rick Gold joins host Kevin Cottrell today to discuss circadian based health & wellness.  Rick is a Functional Wellness practitioner from South Florida with a passion for helping educate, treat and heal patients. Rick is a certified FDN & Functional Wellness Practitioner and is well-versed in the concepts of functional medicine.  Working with clients locally in South Florida and around the world, Rick helps his clients identify and eliminate many of the underlying causes of their symptoms, with a specialization in gut health and circadian rhythms. Prior to his career in health & wellness, Rick worked for Wall Street firms as a financial adviser, institutional trader, and hedge fund recruiter.  So, how did someone working for Wall Street end up as a Functional Wellness Practitioner? For most of his adult life, Rick suffered from 24/7/365 allergies, frequent colds and sinus infections, indigestion, heartburn, GERD, stomach and joint pain.  He was able to find temporary relief using conventional medicine doctors, but the conventional medicine route never identified or fixed the underlying causes of his health issues.   Rick used functional lab testing and lifestyle changes to vastly improve his health.  Dietary and other lifestyle modifications essentially reversed most of his health challenges which are now a distant memory. Additional research, references, and recommended reading from Rick Gold Here are some more (in addition to what I’ve linked to in the text throughout this building block) circadian rhythm, blue light/ALAN studies, sunlight, and nnEMF research articles, and videos for you to learn more (mind you this is just a SMALL sampling of the THOUSANDS of studies out there on these topics.  The research is so definitive it makes one wonder why it isn’t more mainstream!): Blue light, ALAN, Sunlight, and Melatonin (Study) Evening use of light-emitting eReaders negatively affects sleep, circadian timing, and next-morning alertness – “These results demonstrate that evening exposure to an LE-eBook phase-delays the circadian clock, acutely suppresses melatonin, and has important implications for understanding the impact of such technologies on sleep, performance, health, and safety.” (Article) How light affects human melatonin levels – Florida Atlantic University.  “Researchers are finding that exposure to bright nocturnal light decreases the human body's production of melatonin. A decrease in melatonin production has been linked to higher rates of certain cancers, such as breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.” (Video) The end of night: potential impact on cancer incidence – Russel J. Reiter, PhD (Study) Light at night and breast cancer risk: results from a population-based case–control study in Connecticut, USA “The results from this study suggest a potential increased risk of breast cancer associated with domestic exposure to LAN (Light at Night).” (Video) – The impact of screens on sleep – Dr. Daniel Siegel (Study) Nocturnal light pollution and underexposure to daytime sunlight - Complementary mechanisms of circadian disruption and related diseases – “Nighttime use of personal computers, mobile phones, electronic tablets, televisions, and the like--now epidemic in adolescents and adults and highly prevalent in pre-school and school-aged children--is a new source of ALAN. However, ALAN exposure occurs concomitantly with almost complete absence of daytime sunlight, whose blue-violet (446-484 nm λ) spectrum synchronizes the CTS and whose UV-B (290-315 nm λ) spectrum stimulates vitamin D synthesis. ““The observed elevated incidence of medical conditions the two are alleged to influence through many complementary bioprocesses of cells, tissues, and organs led us to examine effects of the totality of the artificial light environment in which humans reside today. Never have chronobiologic or epidemiologic investigations comprehensively researched the potentially deleterious consequences of the combination of suppressed vitamin D plus melatonin synthesis due to life in today's man-made artificial light environment, which in our opinion is long overdue.” (Study) Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality – “The results of this study provide observational evidence that avoiding sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality. Following sun exposure advice that is very restrictive in countries with low solar intensity might in fact be harmful to women's health.” (Study) Blue light hazard – “Blue light can induce formation of toxic reactive oxygen species that cause photochemical damage, leading to the death by apoptosis first of critical retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and then photoreceptors. This slow process, in which damage accumulates over a lifetime, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).” (Study) Blue Light Induces Mitochondrial DNA Damage and Free Radical Production in Epithelial Cells – “We conclude that visible light can cause cell dysfunction through the action of reactive oxygen species on DNA and that this may contribute to cellular aging, age-related pathologies, and tumorigenesis.” (Study) Bright light exposure reduces TH-positive dopamine neurons- Implications of light pollution in Parkinson's disease epidemiology – “Remarkably, in preliminary analysis that accounted for population density, the age and race adjusted Parkinson's disease prevalence significantly correlated with average satellite-observed sky light pollution.” (Study) Daily, seasonal, and latitudinal variations in solar ultraviolet A and B radiation in relation to vitamin D production and risk for skin cancer – “The best way to obtain a given dose of vitamin D with minimal carcinogenic risk is through a non-burning exposure in the middle of the day, rather than in the afternoon or morning.” (Study) Environmental Light Exposure Is Associated with Increased Body Mass in Children – “The findings identify that light exposure may be a contributor to the obesogenic environment during early childhood.” (Article) Study of fruit fly 'brain in a jar' reveals mechanics of jet lag – “He explained that a single light pulse cues the biological clock of the fruit fly brain to shift two hours ahead of its original schedule through a process the researchers call "phase retuning."    Circadian Rhythms (Video) The clock in our genes and in every cell of your body | Joseph Takahashi | TEDxSMU 2013 – Great Ted Talk that teaches you about circadian biology.  (Article) Circadian rhythm and human health – Joan E. Roberts, Fordham University “Humans evolved being exposed to different spectra of light in the morning, the late afternoon and evening. So it should not be surprising that human physiology is profoundly affected by the daily and seasonal changes in the visible light spectrum. Exposure to the appropriate spectrum of light during the day and evening enhances human health and wellbeing, immune response and productivity. However, exposure to light sources that do not match the natural solar spectrum to the time of day or evening, is hazardous to human health. The reason visible light has such a powerful effect on human health is that light exposure through the eye modifies circadian rhythm.” (Article) Around the Clock – “The circadian clock influences far more than daily habits, according to a few decades of research. Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, cancer, and depression have all been linked to malfunctions of the internal timekeeping scheme. Almost every cell in a living organism, it turns out, sees daily fluctuations in levels of genes and proteins, and when these fluctuations are dampened or stopped, things can go awry.” (Study) Circadian stage-dependent inhibition of human breast cancer metabolism and growth by the nocturnal melatonin signal: consequences of its disruption by light at night in rats and women. “This biological mechanism (ALAN) may partially explain the higher risk of breast and other cancers in women working rotating night shifts and possibly others who also experience prolonged exposure to light at night.” (Article) From Fertility To Mood, Sunlight Found To Affect Human Biology – NYT article from 1981!  “Dr. Richard J. Wurtman - 'we are all unwitting subjects of a long-term experiment on the effects of artificial lighting on health. Until much more is known, we should design indoor lighting to resemble as closely as possible what the sun provides.'' (Study) A functional circadian clock is required for proper insulin secretion by human pancreatic islet cells – (Think diabetes!) (Study) Adverse metabolic consequences in humans of prolonged sleep restriction combined with circadian disruption. – “Thus, in humans, prolonged sleep restriction with concurrent circadian disruption alters metabolism and could increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.” (Study) Circadian Clock Control of Liver Metabolic Functions – “A wide variety of processes throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract and notably the liver appear to be under circadian control. These include various metabolic functions such as nutrient uptake, processing, and detoxification, which align organ function to cycle with nutrient supply and demand. Remarkably, genetic or environmental disruption of the circadian clock can cause metabolic diseases or exacerbate pathological states.” (Audio) BBC talk on circadian rhythms and their importance.   (Study) Circadian clocks, obesity and cardiometabolic function – “Disrupting this process through mutations in the core clock genes or by interfering with the environmental zeitgebers that entrain the clock appear to modulate the function of cells and tissues, leading to an increased risk for cardiometabolic disease.” (Study) Circadian rhythm-related genes - implication in autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes – “The hypothesis that circadian genes are involved in type 1 diabetes is reinforced by findings that the immune system undergoes circadian variation and that several autoimmune diseases are associated with circadian genes. Recent findings in the non-obese diabetic mouse model pinpoint to specific mechanisms controlling type 1 diabetes by the clock-related gene Arntl2 in the immune system.” (Study) Endogenous circadian system and circadian misalignment impact glucose tolerance via separate mechanisms in humans – “We demonstrate that the circadian system importantly contributes to the reduced glucose tolerance observed in the evening compared with the morning. Separately, circadian misalignment reduces glucose tolerance, providing a mechanism to help explain the increased diabetes risk in shift workers” (Study) Gut Clock - Implication Of Circadian Rhythms In The Gastrointestinal Tract – “Motor and secretory activity, as well as the rhythm of cell proliferation in the GIT (Gastrointestinal Tract) and liver, are subject to many circadian rhythms, mediated by autonomic cells and some enterohormones (gastrin, ghrelin and somatostatin). Disruption of circadian physiology, due to sleep disturbance or shift work, may result in various gastrointestinal diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcer disease. In addition, circadian disruption accelerates aging, and promotes tumorigenesis in the liver and GIT.”  (Study) Keeping circadian time with hormones – “Circadian deregulation of hormonal rhythms may participate in internal desynchronization and associated increase in metabolic risks.” (Study) Thyroid hormone and seasonal regulation of reproduction – “In mammals, the eyes are the only photoreceptor involved in photoperiodic time perception and nocturnal melatonin secretion provides an endocrine signal of photoperiod to the PT to regulate TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone).” (Study) Exposure to Room Light before Bedtime Suppresses Melatonin Onset and Shortens Melatonin Duration in Humans – “These findings indicate that room light exerts a profound suppressive effect on melatonin levels and shortens the body's internal representation of night duration. Hence, chronically exposing oneself to electrical lighting in the late evening disrupts melatonin signaling and could therefore potentially impact sleep, thermoregulation, blood pressure, and glucose homeostasis.” (Article) UCI study finds jet lag-like sleep disruptions spur Alzheimer’s memory, learning loss – “Chemical changes in brain cells caused by disturbances in the body’s day-night cycle may be a key underlying cause of the learning and memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a University of California, Irvine study.”   nnEMF (Non-Native Electromagnetic Fields) (Article) Stress from Current And Radiation – This is a transcript of a lecture given by journalist Wolfgang Maes in Los Angeles, California in 1990.  Wolfgang suffered from EHS and tells his story and how he fixed his surroundings and his health by lowering his night time exposure to nnEMF.  (Video) Electromagnetic Fields and DNA Damage: Dr. Jerry Phillips – In this video, Dr. Phillips discusses how nnEMFs damage your DNA, but he also tackles the topic of conflicting research between the independent science and the industry-funded science.  By the way this video is from 2012, before Dr. Martin Pall’s work in 2013 that actually FOUND the non-thermal mechanism by which nnEMF disrupts cellular function.  (Article)  Cell Phone Radiation Boosts Cancer Rates in Animals – “The cell phone cancer controversy will never be the same again.  The U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) is expected to issue a public announcement that cell phone radiation presents a cancer risk for humans. The move comes soon after its recently completed study showed statistically significant increases in cancer among rats that had been exposed to GSM or CDMA signals for two-years.” (Video) Dr. Martin Pall – How Wi-Fi & other EMFs Cause Biological Harm – Amazing talk by Dr. Pall where he goes in depth and breaks down the non-thermal biological effects of Wi-Fi.  (Documentary) – Resonance Beings of Frequency – An eye-opening documentary that will teach you a tremendous amount about the dangers of nnEMF.  (Study) – Genetic Analysis of Circadian Responses to Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields in Drosophila melanogaster – “Our results are therefore not consistent with the classical Trp triad-mediated RPM and suggest that CRYs act as blue-light/EMF sensors depending on trans-acting factors that are present in particular cellular environments.” Translation – nnEMF is perceived as light by sensory proteins in your body and that can mess with your circadian biology.  (Study) - Is it Blue Light or Increased Electromagnetic Fields which Affects the Circadian Rhythm in People who Use Smartphones at Night – “Furthermore, previous reports have indicated a significant association between exposure to RF-EMFs of mobile or cordless phones and sleep problems (2, 3). The 2nd shortcoming of this paper comes from ignoring this point that electromagnetic fields may affect the level of plasma melatonin (4, 5).” (Study) Critical time delay of the pineal melatonin rhythm in humans due to weak electromagnetic exposure. –“The results show that significant melatonin interruption and changes to the circadian rhythm occur due to the perturbation of chemical reaction rates, as also reported in previous studies. The results also show the influence of the mRNA degradation rate on the circadian rhythm's critical time delay or maturation time. The results support the hypothesis that exposure to weak EMFs via melatonin disruption can adversely affect human health.” (Study) Why are living things sensitive to weak magnetic fields? – “This implies that weak magnetic field interactions may have a chronodisruptive basis, homologous to the more familiar effects on the biological clock arising from sleep deprivation, phase-shift employment and light at night. It is conceivable that the widespread sensitivity of biological systems to weak ELF magnetic fields is vestigially derived from this diurnal geomagnetic effect.” (Article) - 'Radiogenetics' seeks to remotely control cells and genes – “The new system, dubbed radiogenetics, uses a signal, in this case low-frequency radio waves or a magnetic field, to heat or move ferritin particles. They, in turn, prompt the opening of TRPV1, which is situated in the membrane surrounding the cell. Calcium ions then travel through the channel, switching on a synthetic piece of DNA the scientists developed to turn on the production of a downstream gene, which in this study was the insulin gene.”Translation – Scientists are actively using nnEMFs NON-THERMAL effects on cells to develop therapies for diabetes.  How can anyone read this and deny the non-thermal effects of nnEMF?? (Documentary) – Searching for a Golden Cage – A short and informative film that documents the plight of people who suffer from EHS.  (Documentary) – Take Back Your Power – A must-watch documentary that illuminates the dangers of electric company-installed smart meters on homes and in apartment buildings.  (Study) – Access to electricity is linked to reduced sleep – “New research comparing traditional hunter-gatherer living conditions to a more modern setting shows that access to artificial light and electricity has shortened the amount of sleep humans get each night.” (Study) Mitochondrial calcium overload is a key determinant in heart failure – This study in particular does not mention nnEMF as a cause of heart failure, but if you remember Dr. Martin Pall’s work that showed how nnEMF causes excess calcium in the cell, and you see how this study links excess calcium in the cell to heart failure, it’s easy to connect the dots!  Heart attacks kill a staggering number of Americans every year.  Might nnEMF be a hidden cause that no one is considering?  Food for thought.  (Study) Effects of the Effect of Ultra High Frequency Mobile Phone Radiation on Human Health – “The results of this study and International Commission of Non Ionization Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reports showed the people who spend more than 50 minutes a day using a cell phone could have early dementia or other thermal damage due to the burning of glucose in the brain.” (Study) Cancer incidence vs. FM radio transmitter density – “The findings present strong support to the earlier presented hypothesis that body-resonant broadcasting radiation emitted by horizontally polarized main FM transmitters has an immune-disturbing effect. “ (Article) Diabetes and Electro sensitivity – This article raises the possibility that diabetes is caused by nnEMF.  (Article) Wireless technology – studies on health effects, lawsuits & court rulings. – This is a fantastic resource that links to a tremendous treasure trove of research and other evidence of the harm that nnEMF causes to human health.  (Article) New research links cell phones to health issues in children – “For years, we’ve heard of a possible link between cell phone use and cancer. Now, this week, researchers in Baltimore say the evidence is clear, and children are more at risk.”  This is crucial to watch and read if you have children.  (Study) Schumann resonance is found in the earth and in the human brain – Think about that.  Our brains resonate at the same frequency as the natural frequency emitted by the earth that gets charged by lightening.  With no nnEMFs this is how we are supposed to resonate.  nnEMFs disturb this natural resonance and we pay the price with our health. (Video) Magda Havas talks at NIEHS May 9, 2016 on electro smog and electro hypersensitivity – She shows what nnEMFs do to our blood under a microscope, and shows how reducing nnEMFs helped several MS patients.  (Article) The pulsed microwave radar tower and the cell – the role of calcium – This one is definitely more for the science geeks, but it goes into great detail about how nnEMF affects the calcium in and around our cells.  (Article) Mobile Phones are cooking men’s sperm – “Study finds sperm levels of men who kept their phones in their pocket during the day were quite seriously affected in 47 per cent of cases“ (Article) Wireless devices & wildlife – This is a fascinating and well-referenced article that depicts the effects of Wi-Fi on animals and plants.  It discusses key studies done on bees that show how Wi-Fi is causing colony collapse disorder.  (Article) nnEMF research collection – And finally, a massive collection of research on nnEMF that includes a link to 2300 studies done by the US Navy showing the biological impacts of nnEMF!  (Study) Prenatal Exposure to weak magnetic fields leads to childhood asthma – “Li's study is the first prospective epidemiological study ever carried out on any group exposed to any type of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). The mothers' magnetic field exposures were measured during the first or second trimester and the health of their children —a total of 626 boys and girls— was followed for the next 13 years. Li sees a clear dose-response: Every 1 mG increase in median magnetic field exposure during pregnancy led to a 15% increase in asthma in the offspring. The trend is highly significant.” Connect with Rick Gold Gold Functional Wellness Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Rick Gold joins host Kevin Cottrell today to discuss circadian based health & wellness.  Rick is a Functional Wellness practitioner from South Florida with a passion for helping educate, treat and heal patients. Rick is a certified FDN & Functional Wellness Practitioner and is well-versed in the concepts of functional medicine.  Working with clients locally in South Florida and around the world, Rick helps his clients identify and eliminate many of the underlying causes of their symptoms, with a specialization in gut health and circadian rhythms. Prior to his career in health & wellness, Rick worked for Wall Street firms as a financial adviser, institutional trader, and hedge fund recruiter.  So, how did someone working for Wall Street end up as a Functional Wellness Practitioner? For most of his adult life, Rick suffered from 24/7/365 allergies, frequent colds and sinus infections, indigestion, heartburn, GERD, stomach and joint pain.  He was able to find temporary relief using conventional medicine doctors, but the conventional medicine route never identified or fixed the underlying causes of his health issues.   Rick used functional lab testing and lifestyle changes to vastly improve his health.  Dietary and other lifestyle modifications essentially reversed most of his health challenges which are now a distant memory.

(Documentary) – Searching for a Golden Cage – A short and informative film that documents the plight of people who suffer from EHS.  (Documentary) – Take Back Your Power – A must-watch documentary that illuminates the dangers of electric company-installed smart meters on homes and in apartment buildings.  (Study) – Access to electricity is linked to reduced sleep – “New research comparing traditional hunter-gatherer living conditions to a more modern setting shows that access to artificial light and electricity has shortened the amount of sleep humans get each night.” (Study) Mitochondrial calcium overload is a key determinant in heart failure – This study in particular does not mention nnEMF as a cause of heart failure, but if you remember Dr. Martin Pall’s work that showed how nnEMF causes excess calcium in the cell, and you see how this study links excess calcium in the cell to heart failure, it’s easy to connect the dots!  Heart attacks kill a staggering number of Americans every year.  Might nnEMF be a hidden cause that no one is considering?  Food for thought.  (Study) Effects of the Effect of Ultra High Frequency Mobile Phone Radiation on Human Health – “The results of this study and International Commission of Non Ionization Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reports showed the people who spend more than 50 minutes a day using a cell phone could have early dementia or other thermal damage due to the burning of glucose in the brain.” (Study) Cancer incidence vs. FM radio transmitter density – “The findings present strong support to the earlier presented hypothesis that body-resonant broadcasting radiation emitted by horizontally polarized main FM transmitters has an immune-disturbing effect. “ (Article) Diabetes and Electro sensitivity – This article raises the possibility that diabetes is caused by nnEMF.  (Article) Wireless technology – studies on health effects, lawsuits & court rulings. – This is a fantastic resource that links to a tremendous treasure trove of research and other evidence of the harm that nnEMF causes to human health.  (Article) New research links cell phones to health issues in children – “For years, we’ve heard of a possible link between cell phone use and cancer. Now, this week, researchers in Baltimore say the evidence is clear, and children are more at risk.”  This is crucial to watch and read if you have children.  (Study) Schumann resonance is found in the earth and in the human brain – Think about that.  Our brains resonate at the same frequency as the natural frequency emitted by the earth that gets charged by lightening.  With no nnEMFs this is how we are supposed to resonate.  nnEMFs disturb this natural resonance and we pay the price with our health. (Video) Magda Havas talks at NIEHS May 9, 2016 on electro smog and electro hypersensitivity – She shows what nnEMFs do to our blood under a microscope, and shows how reducing nnEMFs helped several MS patients.  (Article) The pulsed microwave radar tower and the cell – the role of calcium – This one is definitely more for the science geeks, but it goes into great detail about how nnEMF affects the calcium in and around our cells.  (Article) Mobile Phones are cooking men’s sperm – “Study finds sperm levels of men who kept their phones in their pocket during the day were quite seriously affected in 47 per cent of cases“ (Article) Wireless devices & wildlife – This is a fascinating and well-referenced article that depicts the effects of Wi-Fi on animals and plants.  It discusses key studies done on bees that show how Wi-Fi is causing colony collapse disorder.  (Article) nnEMF research collection – And finally, a massive collection of research on nnEMF that includes a link to 2300 studies done by the US Navy showing the biological impacts of nnEMF!  (Study) Prenatal Exposure to weak magnetic fields leads to childhood asthma – “Li's study is the first prospective epidemiological study ever carried out on any group exposed to any type of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). The mothers' magnetic field exposures were measured during the first or second trimester and the health of their children —a total of 626 boys and girls— was followed for the next 13 years. Li sees a clear dose-response: Every 1 mG increase in median magnetic field exposure during pregnancy led to a 15% increase in asthma in the offspring. The trend is highly significant.” Connect with Rick Gold Gold Functional Wellness Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

We live in a time where is seems as if everything under the sun is bad for us. Some even claim the sun itself is harmful to our health! But there is one consumed food substance that deserves more attention. This substance is far more damaging than the commonly feared foods. Yet is still consumed in enormous quantities around the world on a daily basis. It's a substance that even many health conscious individuals are not even aware of. Meanwhile it's consumption is linked to heart disease, obesity and even cancer.Alex is referring to Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids. Also known as PUFA's. In particular Omega 6 PUFAs. ”PUFAs are the most common toxin ingested daily - often completely unknowingly.” – Alex Fergus In This Episode, You Will Learn: What are PUFAs Why are PUFAs so unhealthy High Omega 6 Levels from PUFAs and Inflammation’ Death by PUFAs - What they are the worst thing you ingest’ PUFAs and Cancer PUFAs and Obesity Mentioned in This Episode Alex Fergus - PUFAs The Worst Thing You Eat Everyday Key Takeaway: Avoiding PUFAs (Omega 6) in favor of Healthy Saturated Fats (Omega 3) can make a significant impact on your overall health, wellness, and fitness.

New York Times bestselling author Jay Papasan has had his fair share of health and wellness challenges throughout his life. Like many of us, he grew up understanding that working out and staying active was an important part of achieving optimal health, but he didn’t pay much attention to the other fundamentally important factors: diet and sleep quality, healthy habits and willpower. That is, until he got older and began suffering from back problems. Today, on FitFluential Radio, Jay shares his transformation story with us as well as his actionable advice on how anyone can begin their journey toward optimal health and what inspired him to co-author the New York Times bestselling book, The One Thing.   “If you want to achieve great things, you need energy to do it.” Jay Papasan   In This Episode You Will Learn: Jay’s health journey and transformation story. What inspired him to co-author the book The One Thing What is the “Domino Effect” in health and fitness. Why Jay believes that if you align things properly, you can make systematic gains and achieve optimal health better and faster than you would by going about it haphazardly. How mindset and habits impact your health and decisions. The research behind forming (and breaking) habits. The difference between discipline and willpower. What dangers can destroy your willpower? How distractions and multitasking can negatively impact your willpower and overall health How social media and other modern distractors can actually train your brain to become more susceptible to distractions.

Vivica is a nutritionist, blogger, and a ketogenic cookbook author. Her fondness of the ketogenic diet stemmed from not just targeted learning experiences and seminars but also from how she used it to bounce back from a pre-diabetic state. She also realized the need for ketogenic research and practitioners, so she has since offered lifestyle programs centered around the ketogenic diet. Today, Vivica tells us how an average person can get started with a ketogenic diet, why she thinks a diet by macros aren’t ideal, and why she is strongly against dairy in any diet.   " When you have serious, underlying health issues, your macros aren't going to fix it.” Vivica Menegaz     In this episode, you’ll learn: There are many ways to “attack” a ketogenic diet. There are no one-size fits all approach. A ketogenic diet just means some macro nutrient ratios; it doesn't really tell you what you should be eating. Most ketogenic diet fans were motivated with weight loss. Vivica did it so she can bounce back from being a pre-diabetic. A standard ketogenic diet is high in dairy, Vivica promotes a Keto-Paleo approach because dairy products interfere with hormonal production. The basis of a keto-paleo diet is founded on high quality, nutrient dense food. It also has to be locally sourced and organic. Don't be obsessed with macros, focus on food quality. Auto-immune disease is common but it's not really a disease but a phase of disease. Every disease will go to an auto immune phase if left unchecked. A ketogenic diet is an ultra-low carb diet and it might not work for someone if they were to go with it for long-term. A good way to circumvent this is by doing a cyclical ketogenic diet.   Key Takeaways: Ask yourself if any food is designed for humans. Milk in cartons are usually for cows or goats. You don't have to get the perfect diet right away but the quality of food you get is important.   Connect with Vivica Menegaz: The Nourished Caveman Facebook   Mentioned in this episode: The Paleo Answer book by Loren Cordain, PH.D.   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire     Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show oniTunes.

Dan Pardi is a health enthusiast, researcher, and entrepreneur who focuses on the idea of facilitating health behaviors in people. He also has a podcast show called Human OS and interviews health and wellness experts to discuss recent findings in the field of health sciences. In the last episode, Dan discussed the importance of sleep, the effects of light on our body, as well as the effects of chronic sleep deprivation. In part 2 of our show, Dan talks about how people can filter blue light as well as emerging technologies that can help manage the body’s circadian rhythm.   “Put yourself in a learner mindset forever. Somebody who is healthy continues to learn so enjoy that.” Dan Pardi     In this episode, you’ll learn: Electromagnetic frequency of EMF also affects a person’s sleep cycle. EMFs come from common household devices such as smartphones, tablets, and WiFi modems. You can use different kinds of lenses or glasses to filter just the right amount of light in accordance to the time of day. Dan says the best type of health accessory is not the best and most advanced one but the one that most people will actually wear. The Mediterranean diet might actually be the healthiest diet on the planet. Lack of Sleep can affect even weight gain and let you acquire diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes. Some researchers say Fitbit usage might promote weight gain. Dan says his programs promote courses for people who want to know more about their health and how to improve their life.   Key Takeaways: Being involved in a health program isn’t about following doing what everybody else does but trying to find something that you’re gonna stick with for long term. Engage in the subjects related to the functioning of you and the functioning of you is related how well you are going to experience life.   Connect with Dan Pardi: Dan’s Plan Facebook Twitter Human OS Radio   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show oniTunes.

Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat, a lifestyle program geared towards helping others get connected to nature through physical movement. MovNat is also a practice based on natural movement skills such as running, dancing, climbing, and even manipulating heavy objects. He dedicates his life not only to improve people’s efficiency when doing natural movements, but also to “bring back something done before.” Today, Erwan shares us the story of MovNat, his approach to exercise and training, and why he thinks people need to get re-connected with nature.   "Functional strength is everything we do.” Erwan Le Corre   In this episode, you’ll learn: Erwan focused on two points when he created Movnat: To give back natural movement to the world and to come up with an effective program to teach it. Strength is not just about power, but how you put strength to use with skills and techniques necessary in the real world. Our modern day conveniences don't require us to move very much. His approach is not just with intensity but by improving technique through position and breathing, and creating a balance between tension and relaxation. Most of us have that inch-wide, mile-deep focus. We're in some sort of movement deficit. MovNat can work both indoors and outdoors. Indoor training allows people do hone their movements safely and in a scalable and progressive manner. Outside, it’s nonexistent in nature. It’s a take it or leave it proposition and can be dangerous. What they teach is a realistic evaluation of each person’s movement ability. One of the best exercises to practice natural movement is by doing a Turkish Get-Up.   Key Takeaways: It’s important to understand the importance of nature thru movement. We need physical competency and preparedness for the real world.   Connect with Erwan Le Corre: MovNat Facebook Twitter Youtube Workshops  Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Dr. Doug McGuff is a full time emergency physician who became interested in physical conditioning when he was just 15 years old. In his teens, Doug had a love for bicycle motocross so he fashioned his garage to become his own mini gym. When he decided to start training in a real gym, he began working as a janitor to pay for his membership. It was there where he found Arthur Jones’ book, which became his stepping stone to competing in pro bicycle motocross. The sport paved the way to fund his college tuition and medical schooling. Today, Doug discusses the importance of recovery, how a minimalist workout can provide maximum results, and why he says steady state cardio isn’t something people should be focusing on.   "If you want to try to be superhuman you have to realize you're only human.” Doug McGuff   In this episode, you’ll learn: What most people don't calculate is that you not only have to manage volume and intensity, but you also have to manage your recovery as if you're a high level athlete. The metabolic adaptations that are generated from high intensity exercises. Exercise is kind of like fasting. They both stimulate apoptosis and autophagy but it has to be done intermittently. Recovery varies from person to person, some recover fast, others slow. Our culture has romanticized over training and we conflate it with training for getting actual results. Even for just 12-15 minutes, a proper workout routine will do wonders when it comes to your fitness goals.   Key Takeaways: Appropriate, intense, brief, infrequent, strength training and exercise is going to be the bridging factor for the life extension technology that's coming down the pike. Anything done chronically is going to have negative returns.   Connect with Dr. Doug McGuff: Doug McGuff official Youtube Instagram   Resources Mentioned: Body by Science book by Dr. Doug McGuff Arthur Jones and the Nautilus Training Principles   Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.

Dr. Tim Jackson, DPT is a medical practitioner who realized traditional means of manual therapy and orthopedic care benefited only some of his patients. He began to dive deeper into the concept of overall wellness and gained knowledge about functional and environmental medicine, as well as digestive health.   In today’s episode, Tim talks about Mitochondrial Dysfunction and how just about every disease known to man is caused by issues with mitochondria. He also recommends supplements people should take to make sure your body’s mitochondrial health is up and running.   “A classic sign of Mitochondrial Dysfunction is if you have multisystemic involvement.” Dr. Tim Jackson   In this episode, you’ll learn:   The first to be affected by mitochondrial dysfunction is the nervous system due to it having the largest number of mitochondria in the body. This often results to what we call Brain Fog. Having enough immune cells is one thing but having enough active or functioning cells is another. Mitochondrial Dysfunction causes immune system inefficiency. L-Carnitine and glutathione are great supplements to take when you want to improve mitochondrial health and efficiency. The more you have symptoms in varying systems the more likely are you to have mitochondrial dysfunction. Glutathione supplementation is almost a necessity due to the number of toxins your body is introduced to on a daily basis. Thyroid dysfunction can lead affects the mitochondria and leads to dysfunction. An efficient circadian rhythm prevents mitochondrial dysfunction and improves pathways in the body. Low melatonin may affect mitochondrial health. The first step in healing mitochondria is calming down inflammation and reducing oxidative stress. Glyphosates, an ingredient commonly used in weed killers in farms, damages mitochondria. Antibiotics are harmful to your mitochondria. Cipro is one of the most harmful and should only be taken during life threatening situations. Too much EMF exposurefrom cellphones trigger what we call the “Cell Danger Response” and causes mitochondrial damage.     Key Takeaways:   Taking supplements for your mitochondria is great but daily habits have a larger contribution than any supplement you can buy. Justbecause something is approved by a government organization doesn't mean it's safe for the mitochondria. Find a practitioner that will try to treat you without using antibiotics every day.   Connect with Dr. Tim Jackson:   Heal Your Body Email:support@healyourbody.org Facebook http://www.coachdarrencasey.com/     Mentioned in this episode:   NeuroBiologix Apex Energetics LivOnLabs Empirical Labs LifeWaveNanotechnology Patches   Garth L.

Simone Cohn  Simone Cohn holds a health science degree with a focus on therapeutic body works, massage and reflexology for women. She had this practice for 13 years, happily working as her own boss which allowed her to work around two small kids. Her practice would soon change, not because of her goals, but due to a pivotal point in her health.   She felt pain all over her body for years and thought not much of it aside from something that comes with the job. She likes to give her all to her customers, so she thought perhaps the pain was a side-effect. It wasn’t until late in 2013 when she decided she’s had enough and realized the pain she felt wasn’t normal and was no way connected to her job. She would be later diagnosed with fibromyalgia which prompted her to give up her practice. This wouldn’t stop her, though, as she would later become one of the best Fibromyalgia coaches in the U.S.  Today, Simone shares her life journey, how she applies her methods of treatment in the fibro community, and her thoughts on why the medical industry prefers to treat fibro with things that can’t cure it.    "You have to cover all grounds of the pain, you have to cover the emotional and physical side of fibromyalgia.” Simone Cohn    In this episode, you’ll learn:  The medical profession decided anti-depressants and painkillers were the way to deal with fibromyalgia. The truth is, there is a better and holistic approach to this kind of body problem.  There are two aspects to having fibromyalgia: emotional and physical.  Simone’s techniques are unique per person, but she uses the same formula.  Having experienced fibro herself, she understands that while nutrition is a necessity in treating the disease, many people can’t be bothered to cook a fresh meal.  Her program strongly promotes mild exercise, but nothing like lifting or gymnastics.  She’s a staunch promoter of the ketogenic diet, which she describes as the way forward with her clients. She says people’s addiction to carbs – particularly sugar – is the most common reason why people get sick.  Carbs cause more gallbladder problems in the long run than fat. If you don't have a gallbladder, you need ox bile or other digestive enzymes to help your body process nutrients.  The fibro community needs to heal their gut better. Getting proper sleep is another important aspect of treatment.    Key Takeaways:  It doesn't matter how many books you read about fibromyalgia, if you expect just reading about the disease is going to help you make it better, it won't.    Connect with Simone Cohn:  Taming Fibro  The Happy Banter  Facebook    Mentioned in this episode:  Podcast on the gallbladder  Info on fibro symptoms    Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire    Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on iTunes.
