    Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, MD Key Takeaways  Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, such as fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues – yet, histamine intolerance is often overlooked by conventional medicineMCAS is a condition where certain immune cells – called mast cells – release too many chemicals (like histamine) at the wrong timesUsing diet as a short-term therapeutic tool: A low-histamine diet or Low-FODMAP Dietis not a lifelong diet because tons of healthy foods have histamine in them Consume the freshest foods possible and avoid leftovers, as histamine levels in food rise over time after preparationFoods that are traditionally categorized as “healthy” may be contributing to your histamine issues; these include: aged meats, cheeses, fermented foods, and dairy Even though they are generally healthy, consuming them is like throwing gas on your histamine fire Implementing a low-histamine diet in three phases Phase 1 – remove alcohol, especially beer, wine, and champagne Phase 2 – remove canned and smoke fish (examples: anchovies), processed and fermented meats, aged cheese, pickled and fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurts, kefir, mustard, ketchups, vinegar, soy sauce)   Phase 3 – remove plant foods such as spinach, avocado, tomatoes, pineapples, citrus foods Treat IBS with a low-FODMAP diet, which is specifically designed to reduce the fermentable carbohydrates that gut bacteria feed on; this helps reduce: gas production, bloating, bacterial Foods to avoid: Garlic, onions, wheat, legumes, milk, soft cheeses, apples, honey, sorbitol, xylitol, stone fruits, artificial sweetenersFoods to consume: Carrots, spinach, bananas, chicken, rice, cheddar cheese, eggsSupplement to support healthy histamine levels:Quercetin – a natural plant compound that helps people with mast cell issues, histamine intolerance, and allergies (with additional benefits to metabolic function) Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMany people struggle with mysterious symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues—only to be misdiagnosed or dismissed altogether. This conversation highlights how histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, and why they're often overlooked in conventional medicine. From the role of gut health, food triggers, and environmental toxins to deeper root causes like Lyme disease or mold exposure, it's clear that personalized, Functional Medicine is key to uncovering real answers. Understanding the immune system's role in histamine reactions—and how even “healthy” foods can be inflammatory for some—is a critical step toward healing. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about what histamine intolerance is, how it can be related to gut health, and why it's important to address it. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Mark Pimentel is a Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology through the Geffen School of Medicine and an Associate Professor of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai. Dr. Pimentel is also the Executive Director of the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) program at Cedars-Sinai, an enterprise of physicians and researchers dedicated to the study of the gut microbiome in order to develop effective diagnostic tools and therapies to improve patient care.  Dr. Pimentel has over 150 publications in many high-profile journals, and he is the author of the book, The Microbiome Connection: Your Guide to IBS, SIBO, and low fermentation eating.

    The Matt Walker Podcast✓Claim Key Takeaways  For every new time zone that you cross, it takes approximately one day for your body to acclimate The difference between circadian rhythm and chronotype: Circadian rhythm is your body's internal 24-hour clock that regulates biological processes, while chronotype is your natural preference for when you feel most alert or sleepy within that rhythmTop sleep tips from the episode:Maintain the same sleep schedule on weekdays and weekendsGo to bed and wake up at the same time, or at least within a 30 min windowReduce effects of jet-lag by taking pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight measuresKnow your chronotype so you can performance-peak at desired times Over 40 NFL seasons from 1970-2011, during night match-ups, the West coast team was two-fold more likely to beat the East coast team This is due to the West coast team's circadian advantage over the East teamLeverage “Sleep Loading”: Before going into a high-stress period or an acute period in which you will be sleeping less, increase your sleep duration in the several days leading up the period of anticipated sleep-loss or higher-stress While it is difficult to “pay back” sleep debt after-the-fact, it appears that you can build up “sleep credit” by front-loading sleep ahead of anticipated periods of high stress and sleep-lossTaking a hot shower or bath 90 minutes before bed can dramatically improve your sleep quality A study conducted using the NBA schedule was able to predict game outcomes with 76-86% accuracy based on travel-induced fatigue criteria – completely independent of strength of team Use the nappuccino to boost alertness and performance: Consume your favorite caffeinated beverage, immediately take a 20-30 minute power nap, then wake up when your alarm goes off and you will be in a heightened state of alertness Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Cheri Mah returns to the podcast today to explore a few different topics including how circadian rhythms shape athletic performance. She notes that these 24-hour cycles regulate sleep, hormones, and core temperature, with peak physical capacity often occurring between 4-8 pm—when many world records are set. Dr. Mah also discusses chronotypes, showing how tailoring training to one's natural rhythm can enhance results. She reveals research on circadian disruption in sports, notably how West Coast NFL teams outperform East Coast teams in night games due to a three-hour body clock advantage. The episode also covers jet lag strategies, sleep loading, and managing fatigue, making it a must-listen not just for athletes and high performers, but truly for us all. Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.Matt is only too happy to share the fact that launching his sleep-related merchandise sales was incredibly smooth, thanks to show sponsor Shopify and their integrated sales and inventory system.

    Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  The insurance companies and big pharma complex monetize chronic diseaseThey benefit if more Americans are chronically ill because it means more prescriptions and therefore more kickbacks and rebates Approximately 30% of the revenue generated from opioid abuse in America went to the big five insurance companies The insurance companies are incentivized to put you on drugs!About 60% of United Healthcare's annual revenue – $361 billion in 2024 – comes from prescription drugs via an entity called a pharmacy benefit manager The average American is on 4+ prescription drugs SSRIs are one of the most worrisome drugs of the day: A metaanalysis of over 75 studies revealed that 85% of the efficacy of an SSRI was related to placebo On a 52-point depression scale, SSRIs differentiate from placebo by 1-2 points The healthcare system is not broken; it is rigged, and the American taxpayer is the one footing the bill “Prescribing a GLP-1 without talking about diet, lifestyle, and nutrition is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos.” – Brigham Buhler Behind age and smoking, the third biggest cause of chronic disease is metabolic diseaseTo fix the healthcare system, fixing metabolic health should be our primary focusWe have built an entire healthcare industry of siloed experts, but the body is one organism; we should adopt a more holistic approach to treatment Using AI to build a better system: We will use algorithmic-based medicine to take a proactive and predictive approach to medicine, which will reduce the onset of chronic disease immediately upon recognition Faster iteration phases between detection and intervention will improve our health Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgBrigham Buhler is a healthcare entrepreneur, founder and CEO of Ways2Well, and co-founder of ReviveRx Pharmacy.

    #179 Paul Saladino - The FDA Approved Poison You Eat Every Day

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 9, 2025 197:30


    Shawn Ryan Show Intro  We are the only species that have forgotten what we are biologically-programmed to eat Metabolic dysfunction, which exists on a continuum, underlies 90% of chronic illness; becoming metabolically healthy through diet and lifestyle change can cure most chronic illnesses Every year, the government sends out $112 billion in food stamps, which serves an average of 42 million people monthly – about 12% of the U.S. populationAbout 70% of this budget is spent on junk food, and about 10% of it – $12 billion – is spent on soda Additives in ultra-processed foods impair our ability to make energy from them; they are poisonous to our metabolism and to the very things that give us life as humans! There is more to the story than calories: The ingredients in these processed foods are poisonous to humans; the quality of the “calories in” impacts the body's ability to do “calories out” Consuming monogastric animals such as pork and chicken is problematic for humans because these animals accumulate polyunsaturated fats, which are harmful to humans; ruminants are better for human consumption In the 1900s, rates of chronic illness were a fraction of what they are today; during this time, about 99% of fat that humans ate were beef tallow, ghee, butter, and lard – there were no seed oils in the human diet! Saturated fats are evolutionary consistent and cardioprotective; consuming excess polyunsaturated fats, like linoleic acid in seed oils, is the true culprit of chronic disease due to their oxidative potential  “If you are insulin sensitive and metabolically healthy, LDL is good for you. It ‘s an immune particle; it's valuable. It's when you become insulin resistant that it becomes a liability because it is part of the causal cascade.”  – Paul Saladino Sugar in fruit is different than processed forms of sugar: There are naturally occurring chemicals in fruit and in honey that mitigate the adverse effects of sugar in the body The solution is simple: We do not need medical breakthroughs to fix our health and cure chronic disease; we just need to return to eating the foods that humans have always eaten Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPaul Saladino, MD, is a double board-certified physician and a prominent advocate for an animal-based diet, known for his controversial views on nutrition and health. He graduated from the University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Washington. Saladino is the author of *The Carnivore Code* and *The Carnivore Code Cookbook*, where he argues that many chronic illnesses are linked to poor dietary choices and can be prevented or reversed through proper nutrition. His professional philosophy emphasizes questioning mainstream medical narratives, focusing instead on optimal health through dietary changes. In addition to his writing, Saladino hosts the *Fundamental Health* podcast, where he engages with various experts to discuss health optimization. He co-founded Lineage Provisions, which produces high-quality air-dried meat snacks, and Heart & Soil, offering desiccated organ supplements aimed at enhancing nutrient intake. Recently, he has been involved in projects like a collaboration with Raw Farm USA to create a raw kefir smoothie at Erewhon Market, further promoting his vision of ancestral nutrition and wellness through innovative products.

    The Tucker Carlson Show Key Takeaways  “The corporate capture of our institutions is the real cause of the chronic disease crisis that we're facing.” –  Brigham ButlerRoughly 30% of the cost of every prescription drug is because of the kickback that goes to a PBM; the drugmaker pays the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) the kickback in order to be placed on the preferred contract with the insurance company The drugs that get put on formulary do not have to do with efficacy or what is best for the patient; instead, it is about which drugs have the biggest kickbacks for PBMs  America's healthcare system in a trainwreck: The US makes up for ~60% of the pharma industry, but is ranked 40th overall in healthcare outcomesSurgical procedures are loss-leaders; the industry would rather have you on prescription drugs, because then the PBMs get kickbacks Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcomes: Since there is so much money being made off “treating” chronic disease, there is no incentive to cure chronic disease The three pillars of the chronic disease crisis: (1) Big Pharma (2) The food industry and (3) The insurance industry They do not want to treat preventative: Health insurance companies are incentivized to keep people from discovering if they have a catastrophic illness; this is why they do not allow you to easily get comprehensive blood work The quarterly-profit cycle that publicly-traded insurance companies operate on incentivizes them to delay or deny expenditures, such as paying for a patient's surgery, as much as possible Focusing on preventing metabolic disease will indirectly cure all of the chronic diseases that are killing so many Americans Getting rid of the PBMs will remove a huge profit center for the insurance companies; this takes away the incentive to get and keep patients on prescription drugs “This is not a Republican issue.

    Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark Key Takeaways  Understanding Big Food: Ten companies own the entity of our food system – these companies have outsized control over our food system, and they care more about profits than human healthOur ancestors would not recognize the “foods” that we eat today; most people do not realize that new ingredients have been snuck into our food supply over the last fifty yearsFollowing World War II, in search of a new market, the chemical companies shifted their focus towards American farmlands and launched a new war on the bugs and pests on American farmlandsThe World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a known carcinogen, and yet, approximately 280 billion pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops per year; about 80-90% of grain products on grocery store shelves contain very high levels of glyphosate Companies such as Bayer make the chemicals that destroy our soil and give us cancer, then also produce and profit from drugs designed to treat those cancers Studies that go against the interests of the agrochemical companies are rare because those same chemical companies fund the majority of the research in the industry The way that we are farming now is not sustainable; if we continue down our current path of spraying all these chemicals on our food and destroying the soil, then we will only have 55 years of harvests left before plantable soil is gone The fruits and vegetables in the grocery store are losing vitamin and mineral content because the soil they were harvested in is not as healthy as it once wasApproximately 77% of adults between the ages of 17 and 24 are ineligible for military service due to obesity Tips from Courtney Swan: Buy organic, buy local produce from nearby farmers, form a relationship with a local rancher, shop the perimeter of the grocery store, buy real foods with simple ingredients, prioritize protein, and eliminate ultra-processed foodsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAn integrative nutritionist on a mission to change how America eats, Courtney Swan (aka @realfoodology on Instagram and host of the podcast of the same name) educates Alex on glyphosate, GMOs, how to start shopping for real food, and why parents need to choose between wellness and illness for their kids.

Start with lighter weights and movements that either don't cause pain or induce less painIt almost doesn't matter what you start with – do whatever keeps you consistentMost practical tip for protein intake: Shoot for about 1g/lb bodyweight – or more depending on goals, but consume as much as you want balancing other macros to be properly fueled for exercise and recoverySeed oils are contributing to the health crisis – but probably not because they're inherently bad Seed oils are not innocuous but energy toxicity is a big chunk of what's happening, we're eating too much and moving too littleSeed oils are also more representative of consuming more processed foodsBottom line: There is no strong evidence to avoid seed oils, as long as you're still controlling for overall diet quality and calories – focus on diet quality and the bigger picture“Have guidelines, not rules.” – Layne NortonMost people believe what they want to believe regardless of the evidenceSticking to water is good, but if you switch to no- or low-calorie drink from full calories, it will save a ton of caloriesKeeping your body fat down is the best way to protect your health; how you get there is less important than getting there – the most important thing is consistencySupplements won't do the work for you but they might help you recover fasterRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgGet my exact protocols for boosting levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and enhancing cognition Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Dr. Layne Norton is a Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences, a professional bodybuilder, and a champion powerlifter.

    CryptoThe Investor's Podcast (TIP) Key Takeaways  The year 1971 marked the beginning of the era in which the federal government became interested in altering the food supply Nixon and other government leaders knew that food prices would extensively rise following The Nixon Shock This realization kicked off a 55-year gaslighting campaign to change the trajectory of the food supply so that people would overlook the rising cost of nutrient-dense foods If a person eats a diet of Doritos and grains, then he probably doesn't realize monetary inflation; but if he eats a diet of ribeye steaks, monetary inflation is much more apparent to him Nutrient-dense foods, such as red meat, are increasingly becoming a food of the upper classes Government-influenced dietary guidelines serve the aggrandizement of the political leaders more so than they favor the betterment of the people Once seed oils were no longer viable for industrial applications, large corporations began to market those seed oils as food; this was the first time that Americans began to consume things that were not food  When President Lyndon Johnson was going up for re-election, the cost of eggs was skyrocketing in price; he instructed his surgeon general to write a phony press release saying that eggs were unhealthy so that demand for eggs would decreaseTo this day, people still believe the “eggs are bad for you” press release was motivated by political purposes, and not supported by any scientific evidence The implementation of a hard currency would help to solve the modern crisis in food because it would help to undermine the incentive for the federal government to obfuscate the food supply A hard currency removes the ability for governments to print money, therefore reducing the government's need to gaslight dietary guidelines “If you're not healthy, you're not free. Self-autonomy begins with personal health.” – Matthew Lysiak Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals Podcast, investigative journalist Matthew Lysiak discusses his latest book on fiat food policies, influential figures like Ancel Keys, corporate interests, and the impact of inflation on health.

    Modern Wisdom Key Takeaways  “The best diet for you – the individual – is the one that you can adhere to consistently.” – Dr Layne Norton The main reason why diets fail is because people view them as a “diet” instead of a lifestyle changePeople who have lost weight and successfully kept it off say that they had to form a new identity; they had to become someone else Being successful and having fun are not mutually exclusive; just because you give yourself credit does not mean that you cannot strive for morePeople who believe that they need excellent form on exercises to not get injured are actually more likely to get injured than people who think their bodies are strong and resilient Weight loss requires some form of restriction – whether that is calorie restriction, dietary restriction, time restriction, or some variation of those three If you look at the amount of lean mass that people lose while on Ozempic or GLP-1, it is very similar to the amount of lean mass that people lose when they just do the diet with no resistance training or exercise Exercise sensitives your brain to satiety signals Any diet that gets people to eat less processed foods and more satiating foods is going to be a diet that is better than the Standard American Diet A recent meta-analysis showed that for every 10-gram increase in dietary fiber, there was a corresponding decrease in the relative risk of mortality, cancer, and cardiovascular disease On a high-carb low-fat diet, you will not burn much fat, but you also do not store much fat; on a low-carb, high-fat diet, you are burning a lot of fat, but you are also storing a lot of fat A little exercise can go a long way: Four minutes of vigorous exercise per day has been shown to decrease the risk of cancer incidents by 20%If you are trying to lose weight, stop snacking! In America, the average amount of physical activity is less than 20 minutes per day and the average caloric intake is 3500 calories per day – and we're worried about seed oils and artificial sweetenersDr Layne Norton's Mt. Rushmore of supplements: Creatine monohydrate (5-10g per day), Caffeine (the original nootropic and performance enhancer), and Whey protein Tier 2 supplement list: Rhodiola rosea, Beta-alanine, Citrulline malate, ginseng, ashwagandha, fish oil, and melatonin Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgLayne Norton is a Doctor of Nutritional Science, a powerlifter and an author.

    Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick Key Takeaways “The healthier an individual is, the more they can rely on their mitochondria for ATP generation under increasing demands of the cell. This is one of the hallmarks of health.” – Dr. Peter AttiaSpend good time training in Zone 2; this means a rate you can hold a conversation and form sentences at, but really don't want toFor many, rate of perceived exertion is an accurate measureMaffetone heart rate is a helpful target: take 180-age for target HRFour things are causal risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: (1) ApoB; (2) insulin resistance; (3) hypertension; (4) smokingStatin use is inexpensive, accessible, and effective but “If money were no issue, you'd probably just be on PCKS9 inhibitors, ezetimibe, and bempedoic acid.” – Dr. Peter AttiaTip: don't skip your eye exams! By looking at the retina and capillaries at the back of the eye, diabetes can be detected earlier“Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter AttiaSleep, energy balance, hormone balance are key as wellTo optimize cardiovascular health and mitochondrial efficiency: start with how much time you're willing to exercise – then divide that into 80/20 with 80% at zone 2 and 20% at VO2 max VO2 max sweet spot is 3-8 minutes with 1:1 ratio of rest to recovery – it takes some time to find how much effort you can put out in this time; it's slower than a Tabata (20 on/10 off x 8 rounds) but by no means endurance  “Exercise is probably the single most important thing we have at our disposal to increase insulin sensitivity.” – Dr. Peter AttiaThe difference between normal glucose and type 2 diabetes is just a teaspoon of blood glucose – muscle is the sink for glucose disposalSmoking and obesity are the greatest modifiable risk factors for cancer Why obesity? It's not actually the amount of fate cells; it's likely the inflammatory environment that comes with obesity –the excess fat that spills into areas where fat accumulation is harmful like around organs, in muscleTip: don't rely on mammograms exclusively, especially if you're high risk – combine with ultrasound or MRI“There has been no greater disservice brought by the medical community onto anyone, in particular in this case women, than the abject failure of the Women's Health Initiative.” – Dr. Peter AttiaHormone replacement therapy started at the onset of menopause will help most womenTestosterone replacement therapy in men should be based on bloodwork in combination with symptoms – but be conservative, there are side effects for individuals at risk (hair loss, slightly elevated risk of cardiovascular events, acne)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Download the 9-Page "Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint" Discover my premium podcast The Aliquot Show notes are available by clicking here Peter Attia, MD is a highly respected expert in preventive medicine, focused on the crucial subject of longevity and cardiovascular health.

    Econtalk Key Takeaways  Peter Attia asks all of his patients, “What is your goal for the last decade of your life?”Even if exercise does not extend your life by a single day, it will enable you to move freely and be active in the final decade of your life One of the fundamental problems with our current healthcare system is its relentless focus on lifespan to the exclusion of healthspan While the current medical system is very effective at treating acute diseases and injuries, it has a massive blindspot with respect to the treatment of chronic diseases If you are a non-smoker, these are the four things that kill us slowly (in order):#1. Cardiovascular disease or the disease of atherosclerosis#2. Cancer #3. Neurodegenerative diseases and diseases of dementia #4. Cluster of metabolic diseases  While the cluster of metabolic diseases (#4) does not directly kill, Peter Attia believes that it is the gasoline that is poured on the fire of all other diseases “Up until about the eighth decade of life, genes play virtually no role.” – Peter Attia on the role that genes play with respect to longevityThe Darwinian superpower of being able to store excess energy was great until we entered such an energy-dense environment (like we have today) There is nothing metabolically magical about time-restricted feeding, more commonly referred to as “intermittent fasting”; all of the benefits derived from time-restricted feeding are through the direct effects of calorie restriction There are only three strategies to reduce energy intake: #1. Directly (caloric restriction) #2. Time restriction (example: only consuming calories between 2 pm and 7 pm)#3. Dietary restriction (pick a Boogeyman in the diet and remove it) In his four years at Stanford Medical School, Peter received a total of one hour of training in nutrition, exercise, emotional health, and sleep“Exercise is far more potent at extending lifespan and improving healthspan than any medication.” – Peter Attia Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWe spend too much of our health care focus on lifespan and not enough on healthspan--the quality of our life as we get older. So argues Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity. Attia speaks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about what kills us, what slows us down as we age, and the weapons we have to allow us to live better and longer.

    Artificial Intelligence Podcast Key Takeaways  Only by exploring the subconscious, in an effort to understand, can we improve ourselves over time The shadow parts of us are very important to understand; it is better to understand them and know that they are there than to ignore them and have them surface in the form of addictions or undesirable behaviors “One way to destroy your life is to spend time trying to control your or somebody else's past.” – Andrew Huberman  If we do not believe in something bigger than ourselves, whatever it may be, at some level will self-destructWhen someone does not feel safe in an interaction, they start taking something else while still engaging in the exchange When it comes to romantic relationships, if it is not 100% in you, then it is not going to happen Productivity is not about how many hours you log; it is about focusing in the moment Realize when your peak productivity hours are, and do not let them be invaded Distraction is the enemy of peace and focusRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAndrew Huberman is a neuroscientist at Stanford and host of the Huberman Lab Podcast.

    Art of Manliness Key Takeaways  Low testosterone is often best treated if 1) you have symptoms and 2) have a testosterone level below 400Testosterone levels can vary depending on the quality of your recent sleep and diet Symptoms of low testosterone: depression, anxiety, low libido, erectile dysfunction, low sperm productionPeople who are significantly hypogonadal for a long time are at a much higher risk for osteoporosis, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease, and others Metabolic syndrome is the most common cause of low testosteroneObstructive sleep apnea is the second most common cause of low TFor most men, an optimal testosterone number is between 500 and as high as you can go naturallyHow to improve T: get better and more sleep, improve your diet, manage stress, drink less alcohol, etc. Improving these behaviors will make you more insulin sensitive (which is a good thing) Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is an option when the benefits of increasing T outweigh the risks of remaining at low levels of T, and when the patient understands the risks and the benefits of the therapySupplements mentioned by Dr. Kelly Gillett for testosterone optimization:Creatine,L-Carnitine, Calcium D-Glucarate, andTongkat Ali Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhen men think about optimizing their hormones, they tend only to think about raising their testosterone. But while increasing T can be important, an ideal health profile also means having testosterone that's in balance with your other hormones as well.Today on the show, Dr. Kyle Gillett joins me to discuss both of those prongs of all-around hormone optimization. We start with a quick overview of the different hormones that affect male health. We then get into what qualifies as low testosterone and how to accurately test yours. We also discuss what causes low testosterone in individual men, and how its decline in the general male population may be linked to both birth control and the world wars. In the second half of our conversation, we discuss how to both raise testosterone and get rid of excess estrogen, including the use of some effective supplements you may never have heard of. We then get into the risks and benefits of taking TRT, before ending our discussion with what young men can do to prepare for a lifetime of optimal T and hormonal health.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM series on testosterone, including How I Doubled My Testosterone Levels NaturallyAoM Podcast #761: How Testosterone Makes Men, MenAoM Podcast #878: The Fitness Supplements That Actually Work Connect With Dr. Kyle GillettKyle on IGGillett Health Podcast on Spotify and AppleGillett Health on YouTubeGillett Health website

Over the last century, accompanying the transformation of our energy systems, our food and consumption patterns have been massively transformed. One of the biggest areas of change is the dramatic increase in sugar consumption. But are our bodies adapted to eating such high sugar, processed foods? What are the health effects connected to this way of eating? And, writ large, how does our metabolic dysfunction as individuals contribute to the energy hungry global Superorganism? What are the systemic drivers that currently prevent a shift towards healthier food systems? Can changing how we eat make us healthier - and thus better equipped to face the complex challenges of the metacrisis? About Robert Lustig: Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L. is Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, and Member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He is one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry. He has dedicated his retirement from clinical medicine to help to fix the food supply any way he can, to reduce human suffering and to salvage the environment. Dr. Lustig graduated from MIT in 1976, and received his M.D. from Cornell University Medical College in 1980. He also received his Masters of Studies in Law (MSL) degree at University of California, Hastings College of the Law in 2013.

But what fitness supplements are actually effective and worth investing in?Here to answer that question is Layne Norton, a powerlifter and doctor of nutritional science who has a passion for debunking health-related myths and promoting evidence-based recommendations. He's also, full disclosure, the owner of a supplement company himself. But I don't have any financial connection to Layne's company and we keep this conversation neutral and high-level. In our conversation, Layne argues that there are three top-tier research-backed supplements to consider — whey protein, creatine, and caffeine — and we unpack how to use each of them for optimal results. We discuss whether plant proteins are sufficient for building muscle, whether it's true that creatine causes bloating, acne, and hair loss, how to best time your caffeine intake to energize your workouts, and much more.

The last few reps need to feel hardDosing resistance training: To maximize hypertrophy: 10-20 sets per muscle, per weekMinimum effective dose to gain muscle: 4 sets per muscle, per weekThe most important thing is to be in tune with your body – if you need a day off, take itRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDr. Brad Schoenfeld is a professor at Lehman College in the Bronx, in New York City.

    Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The timing and length of puberty have long-term effects on height, stature, and body composition; early and short puberty can lead to a shorter heightIf money isn't an issue, get blood work for hormones and lipids done around age 18 – measure testosterone sex hormone binding globulin or free testosteronePorn and masturbation can limit libido in the real world, even once per day is detrimental to hormones (not to mention the dopamine system)Topical DHT receptor antagonists may be a better choice for men who want to maintain or grow their hair with fewer side effects You can also try topical caffeine, topical spironolactone (if prescribed), or topical finasterideLifestyle changes to improve fertility in males: no tight-fitting clothing, cold shower or cold plunge, no sauna use                You may want to avoid drinking from cans or plastics with BPA – there is evidence it negatively impacts sperm count and fertility     What to avoid for hormone optimization: smoking cannabis or tobacco, alcohol in excess of 3-4 drinks every two weeks, too much-seated cyclingThere are tons of ways to improve testosterone through lifestyle! Try exercise, a well-rounded diet (not a carnivore, not vegan – especially in teens), adequate sleep, ample vitamin D, avoiding porn, managing stressRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest is Kyle Gillett, MD, a dual board-certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine and an expert in optimizing hormone levels to improve overall health. We discuss how to optimize male hormones using a range of nutritional and behavioral tools, exercise, and supplementation (including discussions on tongkat ali, fadogia agrestis, creatine, peptides and more). We explain how puberty and aging affect hormone levels, how to use bloodwork to monitor hormone levels, how hormone health impacts fertility, libido, hair loss, and prostate health, and describe behaviors that negatively impact testosterone levels. We also discuss how to approach prescription hormone therapies, including which biomarkers to monitor when using these approaches and how to optimize synergistic hormones (e.g., growth hormone and thyroid hormone) to support complete hormone health safely and rationally. Dr. Gillett offers numerous actionable tools that can be tailored to specific goals and age ranges to attain and maintain optimal levels of male hormones for overall health, well-being and longevity.  Thank you to our sponsors AG1 (Athletic Greens): https://athleticgreens.com/huberman Thesis: https://takethesis.com/huberman ROKA: https://www.roka.com/huberman Helix Sleep: https://helixsleep.com/huberman InsideTracker: https://www.insidetracker.com/huberman Supplements from Momentous https://www.livemomentous.com/huberman For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com Timestamps (00:00:00) Dr. Kyle Gillett & Male Hormone Optimization (00:03:40) Thesis, ROKA, Helix Sleep, Momentous (00:07:43) Puberty: Height, Resistance Training, Childhood Obesity (00:15:14) “First” vs. “Second” Puberty (00:17:17) Hormone Optimization & Blood Work (00:22:14) Diet, Exercise, Sleep & Hormones (00:28:23) Hormones, Stress, Social Connection & Purpose (00:32:19) Hormones, Supplementation & Medication (00:34:08) Determining Individual Hormone Levels, ADAM Questionnaire (00:40:35) Libido, Masturbation, Pornography & the Dopamine “Wave Pool” (00:48:32) AG1 (Athletic Greens) (00:49:46) Sustainable Exercise Regimen for Hormone Health (00:58:12) Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) (01:01:02) Supplementation: Creatine & Hair Loss, Betaine, L-Carnitine & Allicin (Garlic) (01:11:45) Vitamin D, Boron; SHBG & Free Testosterone (01:15:34) InsideTracker (01:16:39) Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia; Longjack) & Steroid Pathways (01:22:09) Fadogia Agrestis & Testosterone  (01:26:32) Optimize Growth Hormone & IGF-1: Diet, Fasting, Supplements & Exercise  (01:31:52) Optimize Thyroid Hormone: Iodine & Goitrogens (01:33:56) Peptides: Growth Hormone, Tesamorelin, Ibutamoren & Gut Microbiome (01:42:06) Testosterone Therapy (01:47:03) Prescriptions & Hormones: Human Choriogonadotropin (HCG), Clomiphene (01:52:56) Testosterone Therapy + HCG, Fertility & Temperature (01:55:30) Hormone Health Q&A: Marijuana, Nicotine, Cycling, Pelvic Floor, Alcohol, Fat (02:06:08) Prostate Health & Tadalafil, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) (02:09:56) Hair Loss & DHT; Turmeric & Curcuminoids (02:18:13) BPAs, Phthalates & Hormone Health (02:21:55) Zero-Cost Support, YouTube Feedback, Spotify & Apple Reviews, Sponsors, Social Media, Momentous, Neural Network Newsletter Disclaimer Title Card Photo Credit: Mike Blabac

    Modern Wisdom Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Nutrition science is built on a house of cards: most are epidemiological observational studies, funding is often biased because nutrition can't easily be monetized so lacks commercial interest, causality is difficult to parse out, people don't eat foods in isolation, etc.Don't let perfect be the enemy of good: grass-fed, grass-finished is a healthier choice – it's leaner, higher omega-3s – but conventional beef still provides many benefits such as protein, creatine, vitaminsPrecautionary principle: when we don't have enough data to make a fully informed decision, make a precautionary approach – the nutrition industry has let us down a lot, assume the food is guilty until proven innocentWorst diet for the brain: highly processed, high in seed oils, no exercise, high in fried foodsCalories in calories out is fundamental to weight loss and weight maintenance but not all calories are created equal – nutrient-dense foods increase satiety and decrease overall consumption The food industry wants you to focus on calories in calories out because then no food is inherently “bad” or “good” – it's just your failure if you don't lose weightTips for managing caloric intake: (1) don't eat while distracted; (2) don't eat late at night; (3) focus on foods with high nutrient profile; (4) lead with protein; (5) eat enough fiberRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMax Lugavere is a health and wellness expert, author and a diet advocate. Working out what to eat is hard. Which is odd because everybody does it. You'd think that the science of nutrition, a thing the entire human race relies on multiple times per day, would have some definitive answers. Thankfully Max can explain why it's such a mess and give some solid principles we can all use. Expect to learn whether carnivore is an optimal diet for us all to follow, whether organic and non-GMO actually makes that much of a difference, what to look for in a magnesium supplement, the actual science of seed oils, whether sunscreen is a danger, why nutrition science is so contested, why calories matter but they aren't all that matter and much more...

    Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Nutrition and mental health interact intimately and even causally in some casesProcessed foods rich in fat, carbohydrates, and sugar are the worst for metabolic health and mental healthInsulin resistance is impaired in people with chronic mental disordersA ketogenic diet has shown beneficial effects in the treatment of chronic depression, PTSD, Alzheimer's, alcohol use disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsyThe beauty of the ketogenic diet for intervention is you can measure with objective biomarkers“Once you understand the science of mitochondria, you can actually connect all the dots of the mental health puzzle.” – Dr. Chris PalmerCalorie restriction, ketogenic diet, and carbohydrate restriction are inducing metabolic changes in the brain and body that can be beneficial to brain health – it's not just about villainizing sugar or carbohydrates aloneJust like medication, dose the diet: for some people, symptoms can be reduced without fully being on a ketogenic diet; just cutting highly processed foods rich in carbohydrates, fat, and sugar is sufficientThe obesity epidemic is really a mystery though we want to believe it's diet; it's not as simple as energy balance or food – we had junk food and highly processed diets in the 70s – it's likely mitochondrial health deficits Sleep disruption, stress, trauma, drug and alcohol use, tobacco, and THC impair mitochondria and mitochondrial dysfunction“I see obesity as a symptom of metabolic derangement in the body or brain…and if we're really going to get anywhere we need to identify what is causing metabolic derangement.” – Dr. Chris PalmerExogenous ketones or supplementing with ketones while on a standard diet isn't enough The ketogenic diet isn't just about ketones, people on the diet are also lowering glucose levels, improving insulin signaling, ramping up mitochondrial biogenesis (particularly in the liver), gut microbiome changes, hormones are repaired, etc.  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest this episode is Chris Palmer, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He explains the important connection between nutrition, metabolism and mental health and his pioneering work using the ketogenic diet to successfully treat patients with various mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia. Dr. Palmer explains how the ketogenic diet is an evidenced-based treatment for epilepsy, mimics the fasted state and can offset the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. He describes the key roles of mitochondria in mental health, how certain conditions likely arise from mitochondrial dysfunction, and how low-carbohydrate diets increase mitochondrial turnover to improve mental health. He also explains how low-carbohydrate diets positively impact the gut microbiome and weight loss, important risk factors for mitochondrial health such as marijuana and alcohol, and the best way to increase circulating ketones depending on individual needs. We also cover how a ketogenic diet impacts mood, sleep, and fertility. Dr. Palmer's work stands as a revolutionary approach to mental health and disease that, given the prevalence of mental health challenges, should be of interest to people of all backgrounds and ages.
