When I heard Dr. Olivia Lesslar use that phrase to describe how most people are affected by the modern lifestyle, I knew I had to work it into the title. Indeed, the the chronic disease epidemic which has resulted from the way most people live their lives does not have one single cause, but rather a multifaceted conglomerate of root causes, and can often be additive.Dr. Olivia Lesslar, MBBS, is passionate about mobilising patients to take control of their health; focusing on sleep, movement, nutrition, and mindset as the core pillars of their well-being. Olivia provides a comprehensive evaluation of each patient, looking beyond their diagnosis and symptoms, and taking a whole-systems approach, to gain insights into the root cause. In this episode we discussA deeper dive into histamine, the benefits of antihistamines, and a shocking danger of chronic antihistamine useWhy Dr. Lesslar calls the modern lifestyle "Death by a thousand paper cuts"The problem with abusing antibioticsWhy doctors are not the gatekeepers to health and why people should take their health into their own hands––––––––––––––––––––––––––THANKS TO THE SHOW SPONSORSGet a gift of up to $24 in value when you shop Thrive Market groceries, cosmetics, and supplements!

Cancer sucks. If you haven't had cancer you probably know at least one person in your family who has had it or is currently battling it. Unfortunately, it's extremely common. It's estimated that about 2 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Although the standard treatment has been chemo and radiation, new therapies, such as metabolic therapies, have emerged. Joining me today is Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., from Boston College, to discuss his work using metabolic nutritional therapies to treat several types of cancer.In this episode we discussWhat is cancer and what nutrients feed cancer?How effective is the standard treatment of cancer using chemotherapy and radiation?Why is a therapeutic ketogenic diet is not enough to starve cancer cells?What would Dr. Seyfreid do if he were diagnosed with cancer?Shownotes at https://livedamnwell.com/ketoandcancer––––––––––––––––––––––––––Get 20% off Chlorella and Spirulina using code livedamnwell at www.energybits.com––––––––––––––––––––––––––Find Dr. Thomas Seyfried:https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/mcas/departments/biology/people/faculty-directory/thomas-seyfried.html––––––––––––––––––––––––––NOT medical advice; not intended to treat, cure or diagnose; this video is merely for educational purposes.

No, 5G does not cause COVID. But that doesn't negate the existence of true, scientific concerns with this technology (and previous generations of wireless radiation). In fact, a major multimillion dollar study by the National Toxicology Program found that wireless radiation caused certain tumors. Since, then the World Health Organization has recognized 1-10% of individuals as electrohypersensitive, meaning they show blatantly adverse negative effects from these frequencies.This episode is a chapter of my book Return to Human, where I outline the true scientific concerns with wireless technology, how it impacts our physiology, and how to mitigate the effects using nutrition and other lifestyle habits.––––––––––––––––––––––––––Environmental Health Trust: https://ehtrust.org/––––––––––––––––––––––––––Get 10% OFF site-wide from Hu Kitchen foods!

In recent years, the popularity of probiotics has skyrocketed alongside the growing interest in the gut microbiome. But do probiotics live up to the hype?The short answer is, most don't. Some probiotics boast billions of CFUs, while others brag about the sheer quantity of different species contained within. The truth is, more is NOT better. In addition, most of these probiotics do not even make it to your large and small intestines and are instead destroyed by your stomach acid, rendering them virtually useless. Joining me today is Dr. Tom Bayne, President of Microbiome Labs, to speak all about a revolutionary new type of probiotic which seems to bypass many of these concernsIn this episode we discuss- The problem with most probiotics on the market- Why a good probiotic does NOT have to be refrigerated- How the composition of your gut microbiome can influence the severity of CV-19- What must an effective probiotic be able to address?- Hippocrates was right––most diseases do begin in the gut, from autoimmune issues, neuropsychiatric disorders to metabolic healthShownotes at: livedamnwell.com/spore––––––––––––––––––––––––––THANK YOU to show sponsor Thrive Market!Get 25% OFF your first order and a FREE gift when you join Thrive Market!

You hear it all the time: eat more fiber. Plants are good. Meat is bad and so are all animal products always. Baby talk pervades the world of nutrition. The truth is, the science is far from settled. With today's guest, I discuss both sides of the story in an attempt to cut through the black-or-white, dogmatic thinking which plagues nutrition science.My guest today is Dr. Tommy Wood, a UK-trained Medical Doctor with a PhD in physiology and neuroscience. Dr. Wood is currently at the University of Washington as a Research Assistant Professor of Pediatrics. He has also published and spoken on multiple topics surrounding functional and ancestral approaches to health, including examining the root causes of multiple sclerosis and insulin resistance.Shownotes at: https://livedamnwell.com/tommywood/In this episode we coverWhat are some of the biggest health hurdles for athletes in improving their athletic performance?How tracking sleep and glucose monitoring (CGMs) can in itself can be harmful to our healthThe problem with nutritional studies. In other words why the heck is nutrition so confusing and why do so many experts claim wildly different things?What does a healthy microbiome even mean? Do the experts even know?Does the nutritional scientific literature fully support the idea that Fiber is essential in the human diet?

Everything in moderation... We hear it so often, that most people have accepted it as true, especially in the field of nutrition. The problem is that this slogan only works... until it doesn't. In this episode, my guest and I discuss an emerging field of science known as nutrigenomics, or genetic-specific nutrition, which can allow us to use our genetic information to inform our dietary choices for better brain health, digestion, and lower inflammation, hopefully allowing us to break free of the "everything in moderation" slogan.Shownotes at: https://livedamnwell.com/nutrigenomics/My guest today is Bob Miller, a Traditional Naturopath specializing in the field of genetic-specific nutrition. He earned his traditional naturopathic degree from Trinity School of Natural Health and is board certified through the ANMA. In 1993, he opened the Tree of Life practice and he has served as a traditional naturopath for 27 years. For the past several years, he has been engaged exclusively with functional nutritional genetic variants and related research, specializing in nutritional support for those with chronic Lyme disease.In this episode we coverWhat Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are, how they influence our health, and how we can use them to inform our dietary choicesWhat oxidative stress is and why it's at the core of most chronic diseasesHow our genes influence our ability to process and eliminate plant antinutrients, handle fermented foods, and convert vitamins into their active formsWhy bone broth may lower inflammation in one person but increase it in anotherWhat glutathione is and why it's crucial to our ability to fight infections and fight inflammationShownotes at https://livedamnwell.com/nutrigenomics/––––––––––––––––––––––––––Get 25% OFF your first order and a FREE gift of up to $24 when you join Thrive Market!

My guest today is Dr. Aaron Tressler, doctor of Chiropractic, Owner of In8Life, President of the Chiropractic Fellowship of Pennsylvania, author, and podcast host. Dr. Tressler's passion for natural health and healing extends back to childhood. Growing up, he suffered with chronic gastrointestinal issues, allergies and sinus problems. His struggles through sports injuries and back pain led him to his first chiropractic experience his senior year at Greensburg Salem High School. And then witnessing his father die from heart disease at age 50, he vowed to never allow this to happen to him and was determined to find an answer. Chiropractic care not only corrected his pain, but also his sickness, and he knew if it could change his life, it would also change the life of thousands of others.In this episode, we cover:How dysfunction of the nervous system is connected to the gastrointestinal (GI) system, digestion, and moreWhy "boosting" your immune system is the wrong way of going about long term healthWhy Dr. Tressler believes in our "innate" ability to heal from many diseasesWhy a severe case of COVID-19 may not be Russian Roulette. Although genetics can play a role in risk of developing severe COVID-19, we might not be looking at ALL of the lifestyle risk factors combined, such as sleep, stress, micronutrient status, metabolic health, and environmental toxins.

Diet. Exercise. And... That's pretty much it.Unfortunately, the mainstream view of health is often limited by nutrition and fitness.While those two are without a doubt important, there's much more to health than how much you move and how much you put in your mouth.In this Jungle Talk, I talk about the health effects of light exposure, a forgotten pillar of health.In this episode, I discuss:How light causes cancer––but likely not in the way you're thinkingHow different frequencies of light have different effects on healthHow sunlight is a major control center of our immune health and circadian rhythm and how to reap the full benefits of the sunlight safelyUsing artificial light to simulate the light our hunter gatherer ancestors were exposed toShownotes at https://livedamnwell.com/lightandhealth––––––––––––––––––––––––––References and ResourcesAssociation of Vitamin D Status and Other Clinical Characteristics With COVID-19 Test ResultsVitamin D Deficiency- An Ignored EpidemicPrevalence of Vitamin D Deficiency and Associated Risk Factors in the US Population (2011-2012)Optimal Vitamin D Supplementation Levels for Cardiovascular Disease ProtectionRole of epithelial nitric oxide in airway viral infectionArtificial Light at Night and Cancer: Global StudyBright Light Therapy: Seasonal Affective Disorder and Beyond––––––––––––––––––––––––––Learn simple, free ways to reduce stress, support immune function, and calm the nervous system by downloading chapter 2 of my book "Return to Human" FREE: https://mailchi.mp/ab3797c37d7d/live-damn-well-mobile-landing-page––––––––––––––––––––––––––NOT medical advice; not intended to treat, cure or diagnose; this video is merely for educational purposes.

Do you struggle to sleep? You're not alone. In fact, 35-40% of Americans struggle with their sleep. The usual quick fix? Popping melatonin and sleep pills––and subsequently becoming dependent on them to sleep at all! My guest presents a totally novel, root-cause approach to enhancing deep sleep by targeting the gut microbiome.Dr. Stasha Gominak is a neurologist and researcher who was the first to explain the link between vitamin D deficiency, sleep disorders and the abnormal intestinal microbiome. She is also the creator of the RightSleep® technique, a simple and safe protocol to reinstate a normal microbiome and to improve all sleep disordersCheck out the shownotes at: livedamnwell.com/deepsleepIn this episode we coverThe different stages of sleep and why sleep is so important for every aspect of healthWhy getting 10 hours of sleep doesn't matter, if you aren't going into Deep SleepHow raising vitamin D levels can improve sleep in the short term but set you up for a B vitamin deficiencyWhat "sleep switches" areHow vitamin D, the B vitamins, the gut microbiome affect your sleepDr. Gominak's protocol to recover deep sleep––––––––––––––––––––––––––Continue to Optimize your sleep with Spectra blue blockers and Bioptimizers Magnesium!

Are you looking forward to growing old?For most people, I can imagine the answer is likely a resounding no. In fact, only around 40% of Americans are looking forward to old age (https://www.statista.com/chart/17019/looking-forward-to-old-age/).I was recently in Costa Rica (thus "Jungle Talks"), where I met a pretty remarkable man who made me look forward to old age. Why? Well, I was close to Nicoya which is a well known Blue Zone––a hotspot of longevity, with a disproportionate amount of healthy centenarians. Though this humble cacao farmer I met doesn't technically qualify as a centenarian (he's 93 years old), he's pretty damn close.As a friend and I stepped onto his property, a frail-looking, fairly short elderly man greeted us with a machete in hand. I immediately saw that he was mentally sharp, as he cracked joke after joke with an aliveness in his voice which is often absent from elderly people.Though his age in itself is impressive, his physical health was equally, if not more impressive. So naturally, we asked him his secrets to a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.For scientific references and resources check out the shownotes at: https://livedamnwell.com/defy-agingIn this episode I cover:What this Costa Rican man does to support his longevity from diet and sleep to mindset and communityWhat the long-lived Blue Zone populations have in commonWhy a rice and beans diet isn't the be all end allHow emotions influence gene expressionWhat does the scientific research say about anti-aging and longevity practices?––––––––––––––––––––––––––ReferencesMindfulness meditation and the immune system: a systematic review of randomized controlled trialsWhich is the Most Reasonable Anti-aging Strategy: Meta-analysisNutrition and longevity - From mechanisms to uncertaintiesThe Influence of Social Hierarchy on Primate HealthDecreasing Lean Body Mass with Age: Challenges and Opportunities for Novel TherapiesHuman longevity is associated with regular sleep patterns, maintenance of slow wave sleep, and favorable lipid profile––––––––––––––––––––––––––Get 25% OFF your first order and a FREE gift when you join Thrive Market!

We often hear the word superfood thrown around, whether or not it actually is "super" (kale, I'm looking at you).In today's episode, my guest Catharine Arnston, CEO of EnergyBits and speaker, sheds light on a little known food which I believe does indeed deserve the title of superfood. Packed with B vitamins, vitamin A, iron, and chlorophyll, chlorella and spirulina are two amazing plant foods which are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, other than organ meats of course.After Catharine's sister was diagnosed with cancer, Catharine searched for dietary interventions to help strengthen her sister's immune system while she underwent chemo (she's now fully recovered). Through her intensive deep dive into the scientific literature, she came across two foods endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient-dense foods. Years later she founded EnergyBits, a third party tested, sustainable, organic, and carbon-negative company which sought to make algae available to as many people as possible.So, regardless of whether you're Paleo, Keto, Vegan, or still following the Standard American Diet (SAD), these two types of algae can be very beneficial for anyone looking to upgrade their nutrition, athletic performance, sleep, and immunity.In this episode we cover- A battle with cancer and Catharine's search for a nutritional intervention- Why the United Nations and NASA endorse spirulina and chlorella as the most nutrient-dense foods and the answer to world hunger- Why most Americans are NOT getting the micronutrients we used to get from food just a few decades ago...- How Spirulina and Chlorella are being studied as a nutritional strategy to lessen severe cases of COVID-19 and treat patients- How EnergyBits Spirulina and Chlorella can fit into nearly anyone's lifestyle to improve their health––––––––––––––––––––––––––Get 20% off Chlorella and Spirulina using code livedamnwell at www.energybits.com––––––––––––––––––––––––––Links to Catharine Arnston and EnergyBits- https://www.energybits.com- Social media: @energybitsStudies ReferencedStudies Referenced in podcastEffects of spirulina on weight loss and blood lipids: a reviewProspective options of algae-derived nutraceuticals as supplements to combat COVID-19 and human coronavirus diseasesPotential of Chlorella as a Dietary Supplement to Promote Human HealthA randomized study to establish the effects of spirulina in type 2 diabetes mellitus patientsRole of Spirulina in the Control of Glycemia and Lipidemia in Type 2 Diabetes MellitusLight-harvesting chlorophyll pigments enable mammalian mitochondria to capture photonic energy and produce ATPSpirulina in Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Human Applications––––––––––––––––––––––––––Learn simple, free ways to reduce stress, support immune function, and calm the nervous system by downloading chapter 2 of my book "Return to Human" FREE: https://mailchi.mp/ab3797c37d7d/live-damn-well-mobile-landing-page––––––––––––––––––––––––––NOT medical advice; not intended to treat, cure or diagnose; this video is merely for educational purposes.

Looking into the past gives us a lens through which to view our present, especially in terms of what humans "should" be eating as a species. But looking into the past is not a panacea––in other words, it's not as simple as: let's just eat what our Paleolithic ancestors ate. Dr. Schindler joins me on the podcast to discuss two critical questions to ask ourselves: What foods were we designed to obtain? What foods were we designed to digest?Dr. Bill Schindler is the founder and director of the Eastern Shore Food Lab, an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Archaeology at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland and the costar of the National Geographic series, The Great Human Race, Curiosity Stream's, The Modern Stone Age Family and Wired Magazine's series, Basic Instinct and Food Science. He is a food archaeologist, primitive technologist and chef. Bill travels the world documenting traditional food ways and works to draw inspiration from the deep archaeological record, diverse ethnographic record, and modern culinary world to create food solutions that are relevant, meaningful, and accessible today. His work specifically focuses on HOW we should eat instead of simply the type of food we should eat for optimal health. Bill is a strong advocate of traditional foodways and is constantly seeking new ways to incorporate lessons learned from his research into the diets of modern humans including his own family. Bill resides with his wife and three teenaged children in Maryland.Check out the shownotes at livedamnwell.com/eatlikeahuman––––––––––––––––––––––––––In this episode we coverHow do we tackle the complex problem of: what should humans eat for optimal health?Is the Paleo diet even relevant?How for the first time in human history humans can be both obese and malnourished at the same timeHow genetics affect the way we should eat?––––––––––––––––––––––––––Get 10% OFF the best magnesium supplement on the market:https://livedamnwell.com/recommends/bioptimizers-magnesium/––––––––––––––––––––––––––Links to Dr. SchindlerCheck out his online courses at www.eatlikeahuman.comSocial media @drbillschindler––––––––––––––––––––––––––Learn simple, free ways to reduce stress, support immune function, and calm the nervous system by downloading chapter 2 of my book "Return to Human" FREE: https://mailchi.mp/ab3797c37d7d/live-damn-well-mobile-landing-page––––––––––––––––––––––––––NOT medical advice; not intended to treat, cure or diagnose; this video is merely for educational purposes.

Fat is bad. Grains are good. Meat is bad. Plants are good. Science is science––it's pretty clear cut and we should never question its validity... right? In this interview Brian Sanders and I discuss the problems with blindly following what we refer to as "The Science", especially as it relates to nutrition, the vilification of animal foods, and the pandemic.Brian Sanders is the filmmaker behind the feature-length documentary Food Lies and host of the Peak Human podcast. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and then turned to technology and sold an app company.
