Whales don't get cancer as often as you might expect, and in this episode you learn how the bowhead whale's unique DNA repair system is helping scientists understand cancer prevention and healthy aging. This Arctic giant lives more than 200 years, grows to airplane size, and still avoids the runaway mutation patterns that lead to tumors in other species. Whales don't get cancer at high rates because their cells repair DNA damage with remarkable accuracy, and recent studies show that bowhead whales have powerful repair proteins like CIRBP that might someday guide cancer research. You will hear how this repair strategy works, why it matters for humans, and why protecting long-lived marine mammals also protects the scientific insights they carry.

How should we think about diets that claim to optimise both human and planetary health? Can a single "reference diet" really balance the complex trade-offs between nutrition adequacy, chronic disease prevention, and environmental sustainability? These questions have gained renewed attention with the release of the 2025 update to the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet. The original 2019 report proposed a mostly plant-based dietary pattern designed to improve population health while staying within planetary boundaries. But since then, new data have emerged—on nutrient requirements, disease risk, and environmental modelling—that complicate many of the original assumptions. What does the updated evidence actually say about the health impacts of eating in line with this framework? How have the environmental projections changed? And what do these evolving targets mean for individuals, policymakers, and researchers trying to translate broad sustainability goals into practical dietary guidance? These are some of the questions explored in this episode of Sigma Nutrition, which examines the 2025 EAT-Lancet update, its scientific foundations, and what it reveals about the intersection of nutrition, health, and planetary sustainability.

In this eye-opening episode, Ambassador Elisha sits down with Dr. Aaron Hartman, MD, a pioneering functional medicine physician transforming how we understand chronic illness, brain healing, and the overlooked connection between soil health and human health.

In this jam-packed episode, the First Lady of Nutrition sits down with world-renowned fat expert Dr. Udo Erasmus, author of the groundbreaking classic Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill: The Complete Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health. With more than 45 years of research under his belt, Dr. Erasmus brings clarity to one of the most confusing topics in nutrition—the truth about seed oils. Together, Ann Louise and Dr. Erasmus explore the delicate balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats and reveal why it's not the seeds themselves that cause harm—but rather the way oils are processed. You'll discover how high-heat, solvent extraction methods damage fragile oils, destroy essential nutrients, and leave behind toxic residues that can wreak havoc on your health. Dr. Erasmus also explains why more health damage comes from damaged oils than from any other single factor—and how using the right oils in the right way can transform your energy, metabolism, and longevity. Learn why fresh, organic, cold-pressed oils are vital, why you should never fry with them, and how to store them properly to protect their healing power. This spirited discussion is packed with “truth bombshells” that will forever change the way you look at fats and oils. Tune in and find out how to get your oils straight—and your health back on track. The post The Real Truth About Seed Oils first appeared on Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS.

The Trump administration ended the White House Department of Environmental Justice, which was launched under the Biden administration. The new administration said that the concept of “environmental justice” falls under the umbrella of DEI initiatives, which it seeks to abolish.

For months, as an algal bloom wreaked havoc on the South Australian coast, most residents steered clear but not Johanna Williams. She’s been down to Glenelg Beach daily, ruler and phone in hand, methodically tracking the carnage. What started as a small, concerned step by a self-described occupational therapist soon transformed into a citizen science project with over 10,000 observations of dead and dying marine life, offering a grim, close-up view of the ecological disaster. Johanna’s commitment, though personally confronting, gives scientists and the community essential data and a crucial human perspective. This episode does not feature the SA Drink of the Week segment. The show concludes with a Musical Pilgrimage that connects directly to the episode’s urgent environmental theme. We hear Steve Davis & The Virtualosos’ “While the Ocean Died,” a lyrical and sonic reflection on the collective pain and political complexities surrounding the algal bloom event.

Running Sheet: Algal Bloom Beach Witness Johanna Williams 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this week. 00:02:55 Johanna Williams Arriving home from a holiday to find Glenelg Beach “covered in dead fish” , Johanna Williams had a choice: unpack and write an angry Facebook post, or take action. She chose the latter, inadvertently becoming one of the state’s most dedicated, non-professional "marine biologists". Initially hoping the algal bloom would be a “transient, short-term event,” the surreal extent of the death spurred her to use the citizen science platform iNaturalist to upload her observations, believing this crucial “coalface” data would reach qualified scientists and government bodies to “formulate responses”. Her daily 500-metre trek between Pier Street and the Jetty has revealed a tragic yet fascinating marine diversity. What she’s documenting—now over 10,000 observations—includes rare deep-sea fish like the long snout boar fish and warty prowl fish, species scientists rarely encounter alive. This wealth of data is heartbreakingly significant, as it allows researchers to collect, age, and perform genetic and toxicological testing on specimens that could never be found otherwise, highlighting the deep reach of the bloom into the ecosystem. The work is intensely confronting, involving more than just dead fish. Johanna describes a traumatic encounter with a still-alive, spiky globe fish whose eyes were “really gazing and tracking” her. This and finding a paralysed silver gull due to toxic effects highlight the profound emotional toll and moral dilemmas faced by citizen scientists, such as whether to “prolong its death by putting it back in the water”. Johanna discusses how a supportive network of friends and a new community, including people from the university, has helped her “channel that energy” and despair into empowerment and meaningful data collection. This environmental disaster also casts a shadow over the Glenelg foreshore, with Johanna noting a ripple effect of reduced foot traffic and the closure of local businesses, a “double whammy” alongside local tram disruptions. For listeners wanting to help, Johanna suggests starting with iNaturalist uploads, or connecting with projects like the SA Marine Mortality Project 2025 to assist with collecting fish for testing or contributing to local rehabilitation efforts, such as making oyster beds (wind chimes) to help filter the water.

Report the animal by calling the local fish authority, such as FISHWATCH in South Australia (1800 065 522), or a wildlife rescue hotline, as professionals are trained to handle these situations. 00:37:06 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we play a deeply personal and thematically appropriate piece by Steve Davis and the Virtualosos, titled “While the Ocean Died”. The song, which Johanna describes as an “earworm” that helps her “process what’s going on”, was inspired by Johanna’s ground-level work, leading Steve to appreciate the “cost of this whole thing”. The host reveals that songwriting is his way of thinking out loud to process complex issues. The track’s bridge reflects on the political challenge leaders face in times of crisis, where a long chain of “short-cuts and shortcomings” has left the region vulnerable to a multitude of causes—from the River Murray flood of nutrients to the sea heatwave—that have fuelled the toxic bloom. It’s a poignant, urgent piece that closes the show by connecting the human story of witnessing with the broader South Australian environmental tragedy.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Could Mushrooms Save the World? Join the world's most renowned mycologist Paul Stamets—author of Psilocybin Mushrooms in Their Natural Habitats—as he dives deep into the astonishing power of fungi, mycelium, and psychedelic mushrooms to transform not just our health, but our consciousness, society, and planet. In this mind-expanding episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Stamets reveals: - How psilocybin therapy is helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, and even the fear of death - How a heroic dose of mushrooms changed his life, helped cure his stutter, and opened his spiritual awareness - Powerful anatomy of fungi vs. mycelium vs. mushrooms, and how they mirror the structure of the universe - Why mycelium networks prove the health benefits of random acts of kindness - Humans are descendants of mycelium (and what that means for our evolution!) - Crucial role mushrooms play in biodiversity, ecosystem survival, and as the "lungs of the planet" - Difference between microdosing vs. macrodosing, and the creative, emotional, and neurological benefits of each - Why a "Mycelium Revolution" is sweeping the planet, and how it could unite humanity - Why Stamets believes psilocybin may be the key to curing our global creativity crisis - Sacred cultural history of mushrooms, and why honoring Indigenous wisdom is vital to our future - How mushrooms could help us clean pollution, build sustainable materials, revolutionize agriculture, and even colonize space So why isn't psilocybin therapy more accessible? Why are thousands of mushroom species psychedelic? And how can fungi rewire society for healing, empathy, and planetary survival?

The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health and Sejfarms Consult Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding for strengthened collaboration to advance Nigeria’s fish production. Nigeria is the largest aquaculture fish producer in sub-Saharan Africa, accounting for 52 percent of the total farmed fish production in the region. Yet, Nigeria has a 2 million metric tonne (2.2 U.S. tons) deficit, needing 3.2 million metric tonnes (3.5 U.S. tons) of fish annually, while current production stands at 1.2 million tonnes (1.3 million U.S. tons). Fish feed is considered a bottleneck to the future growth of Nigerian aquaculture. “USB has invested in WISHH’s work with young aquaculturists because it lays the foundation for increased U.S. soybean meal demand and for our crop to play an even greater role in global food security,” said USB Director Nancy Kavazanjian, a Wisconsin soybean farmer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Joseph Antoun to unpack how fasting strategies, including fasting-mimicking diets, can rejuvenate immune cells, slow down inflammaging, and support overall healthy aging.   You'll discover how chronic inflammation accelerates aging, why old “zombie” cells cause damage, and how fasting helps clear them out while replacing them with stronger, more resilient ones. The conversation also dives into immunosenescence, what happens when immune cells age, and how this process links to conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, and autoimmune disorders.   Dr. Antoun also explains the delicate balance between growth and repair in the body—and why our modern eating patterns keep us stuck in constant growth mode. By leveraging targeted fasting protocols, we can push our bodies toward autophagy, boost cell repair, and open the door to a healthier, longer life.   In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Fasting and Cellular Rejuvenation 00:48 Guest Introduction: Dr. Joseph Antoun 04:25 Understanding Chronic Inflammation and Inflammaging 10:10 The Role of Nutrition in Aging and Immune Health 13:13 Fasting Mimicking Diet: Science and Benefits 23:32 Fasting and Autoimmune Diseases 24:35 The Role of Stomach Acid in Digestion 26:28 ProLon and Biological Age Reduction 30:15 ProLon for Diabetes and Chronic Conditions 32:06 How to Use ProLon Effectively 38:06 Current Research and Future Directions 40:49 The Importance of Fasting in Human Health 42:39 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Looking for a clean, nutrient-packed snack?

Your gut microbes don't just digest food, they can power you. In this episode, we uncover a hidden energy stream: short-chain fatty acids produced when microbes ferment plant fibers, potentially supplying anywhere from 2% to 10% of your daily calories. A new Cell study quantifies this microbial contribution with a unique level of precision, revealing how dietary choices drives the yield. We look at the mechanisms behind this energy exchange, , and show why increasing fiber intake is one of the most potent, underappreciated tools for improving metabolic health immune function, disease resistance, etc. We can now say it also contributes to energy flux.00:00 Introduction: The Hidden Fuel Source00:13 The Role of Gut Microbes in Energy Production01:16 How Gut Microbes Transform Fiber into Energy02:49 Measuring Microbial Energy Contribution04:51 Impact of Diet on Microbial Energy Harvest06:32 Significance of Microbial Fermentation07:37 Implications for Human Health and Diet09:19 Conclusion: Feeding Your Microbial PartnersPMID: 40744013Support the show

In this episode, Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Haim Cohen to Longevity by Design to explore his revolutionary approach to understanding aging. Haim's team analyzed acetylation sites across 107 mammalian species, creating its most extensive comparative study. This computational approach revealed specific post-translational modifications that evolved exclusively in long-lived animals.The research identifies critical pathways where evolution engineered longevity solutions. These acetylation changes affect DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and mitochondrial function. Unlike traditional aging research focusing on single pathways like mTOR or caloric restriction, Haim's unbiased screening simultaneously reveals multiple longevity targets. Evolution provided a natural laboratory for testing anti-aging modifications over millions of years.The findings offer exciting therapeutic possibilities for human longevity. Haim's team is now creating transgenic mice to test whether mimicking these evolutionary changes can extend lifespan in the lab. This research suggests humans could potentially "accelerate evolution" by implementing modifications that nature has already proven effective in whales, elephants, and other long-lived species. Guest-at-a-Glance

Architects are increasingly recognising that our built environments do more than shelter us—they fundamentally shape our physical and mental wellbeing. Dr Tuwanda Green, a leading expert in biophilic design, an architect, and who sits on the board of the Biophilic Institute, has over 32 years of architectural experience including working for government design projects, and holds a doctorate in architecture from Virginia Tech. She argues that thoughtfully designed spaces using the principles of Biophilia can actually alter our genetic expression and improve generational health.Tuwanda is an expert on Epigenetics—a field of genetic research. In our conversation she explains how environmental factors can switch genes on and off without changing DNA sequences. Think of epigenetic markers like "gumballs" stuck to our genetic code, potentially influencing everything from stress responses to disease susceptibility."These markers can be passed down through generations," explains Tuwanda. "A stressful, nature-deprived environment could potentially transmit negative genetic expressions to our children, while nurturing, nature-connected spaces might help reverse these markers."Recent scientific studies support this perspective. Research has consistently demonstrated that exposure to green spaces correlates with significant health improvements:- Reduced cardiovascular disease risks- Lower blood pressure- Decreased stress hormone levels- Improved cognitive function- Enhanced mental health and emotional regulationIn our Journal of Biophilic Design podcast and the articles in the Journal itself, we often talk about how green spaces aren't just aesthetic additions—they're critical health interventions. Tuwanda here, shares that by incorporating natural elements like water features, organic shapes, natural lighting, and plant life, architects can create environments that actively support human physiological and psychological functioning.The principles of biophilic design extend beyond mere decoration. They're rooted in understanding human evolutionary biology. Our bodies are fundamentally designed for natural environments, with sensory systems finely tuned to detect subtle environmental cues. Modern buildings often disconnect us from these innate biological rhythms."We've existed as homo sapiens for millennia in natural settings," Tuwanda emphasises. "Our brains are still processing environmental information subconsciously, seeking safety, resources, and connection."Practical biophilic design strategies include:- Maximising natural light exposure- Creating visual connections with nature- Incorporating water features and natural sounds- Using organic, textured materials- Designing spaces that encourage movement and social interactionTuwanda's own community at Serenbe (where the Biophilic Institute is based) exemplifies these principles. Curved streets, clustered housing, centralized communal spaces, and abundant green trails naturally encourage neighbourly interactions and physical activity.The potential societal implications are profound. By redesigning our environments with human biology in mind, we could potentially:- Reduce chronic stress- Improve community cohesion- Support mental health- Mitigate intergenerational trauma- Create more resilient, adaptive human populationsAs climate change and urbanisation accelerate, biophilic design offers a holistic approach to human-centred architecture. It's not just about creating beautiful spaces, but about understanding and supporting our fundamental biological needs."Design creates communities. Well-designed environments can foster connection, support health, and potentially even contribute to world peace."Our built environments are powerful determinants of human health. By embracing biophilic design principles, we can create spaces that don't just house us, but actively heal and nurture us.If you like this, please subscribe!Have you got a copy of the Journal?

Doctor and professor of public health Wendy Johnson saw in her medical practice people who thrived against all odds, and those who suffered grave challenges due to environmental factors like toxicity, poverty, stress, loneliness, and isolation. Her new book, Kinship Medicine, explores the reality that 80% of our health is determined by factors outside of us—which are largely ignored by our industrialized medical system. What's missing is ecological thinking, and understanding ourselves as part of an environment—from our microbiome to our community, to our ecosystem.

Three Alaska Native tribes filed a lawsuit to stop a controversial gold mining operation east of Nome. The tribes say a permit just granted by the U.S. Corps of Engineers will allow the destruction of salmon habitat and other important environmental elements in a pristine estuary. The mining process involves extracting ore from material dredged from river and ocean beds. On the other side of the state, residents of Wrangell are concerned about a gold mine just over the border in Canada. A new report finds heavy metals in groundwater on the Alaska side.

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: You wouldn't think that a podcast about copper would have anything to do with freedom, but think again. In this episode, I sit down with Morley Robbins, who believes that the root cause of most modern illness is being actively hidden from both the public and the medical profession. For over 60 years, the essential role of copper in maintaining human physiology has been ignored or downplayed. The system wants us to believe the human body is broken by default, flawed genes, random failures, bad luck. But the truth, as Morley explains, often lies in copper deficiency, nutritional imbalance, heavy metal toxicity, and environmental assault.See my substack for more information.I hope you enjoy this episode.Much love, as always.Doc MalikLinksRoot Cause Protocol https://therootcauseprotocol.com/ IMPORTANT INFORMATIONCONSULTATION SERVICEIn a world of rushed 7-minute consultations and endless referrals, I offer you something rare: time, context, and clear guidance.As your health advocate, I can help you:Understand your diagnosis and decode medical jargonDecide who to see: GP, specialist, osteopath, physio, accupuntcurist, homeopath etc?Break down treatment plans in plain, easy to understand non jargon EnglishPrepare for surgery, understand your risks, obtain true informed consent, and optimise yourself pre-op Recover from surgery, advise you how to heal faster and quicker and minimise post-op complicationsManage chronic illness with lifestyle, mindset, and dietary changesExplore holistic options that complement conventional careImplement lifestyle changes like fasting, stress reduction, or movementAsk better questions, and get real answersGet an unbiased second opinionReady to Take Control?If you're navigating a health concern, preparing for a big decision, or simply want to feel more confident in your path forward, I'd love to support you.Book here https://docmalik.com/consultations/ Because it's your body, your life, and your future.

For nearly a century, scientists believed we had discovered ALL of the essential fatty acids the human body needs. But what if they were wrong? Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and longevity researcher, joins Dave to reveal a groundbreaking discovery—a newly identified essential fatty acid, C15, that may hold the key to healthier aging and even longer lifespans. Originally uncovered in an unlikely place—U.S. Navy dolphins that were outliving their wild counterparts by decades—this forgotten fat is now shaking up the scientific community. So why hasn't anyone told you about it?? Decades of misguided dietary advice stripped this crucial nutrient from our food system, leaving an entire generation unknowingly deficient. Even worse, pregnant women have been some of the MOST hurt from this cruel change to our modern diet. Now, cutting-edge research is proving that C15 plays a critical role in cellular stability, mitochondrial function, and total mental health. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • The first new essential fatty acid discovered in nearly 100 years—and why it matters • How dolphins led to one of the BIGGEST breakthroughs in human nutrition • Why the removal of C15 from our diets is accelerating aging • The surprising connection between C15 and mental health • How this “missing” fat could outperform some of the biggest longevity drugs today! • What foods naturally contain C15—and should you supplement it? *** Get 15$ off Fatty15 at www.fatty15.com with code: DAVE *** SPONSORS Puori | Visit https://puori.com/dave and use code DAVE for 20% off.Calroy | Head to https://calroy.com/dave for an exclusive discount.
