The average American spreads their food consumption out over 15 hours a day, which basically means they're eating from the time they wake up until the time they go to bed and fasting only during sleep. Increasing this fasting window by even just a few hours can provide a multitude of health benefits, (1, 2, 3) including: Decreased rates of obesity Improved blood pressure Decreased insulin resistance Better lipid profiles Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease Decreased cancer risk Decreased inflammation These benefits are seen with many different fasting practices. With time-restricted feeding, for instance, an individual eats for only a portion of the day, say 8-12 hours, and fasts the remainder of the day. Periodic prolonged fasting, on the other hand, ranges from as little as 24 hours to up to 3-5 days during which an individual is consuming only water. Keep in mind that fasting isn't for everyone. Those who have a history of disordered eating or diabetes, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are participating in high-volume training should all consult with a doctor before fasting. However, if fasting is right for you, it can be a small, easy-to-implement change that can have a significant positive impact on your health.

Many lakes around the country suffer from poor water quality in the same way as Greenfield Lake in Wilmington, N.C. - stormwater runoff into the lake from hard surfaces like roads, parking lots, and buildings causes nutrient pollution, algae growth, and even fish kills. But lakes can go from green to clean through a combination of science, partnerships, and measures to reduce runoff. The effort to restore Greenfield Lake is discussed in this episode with Mike Mallin, a Research Professor at the Center for Marine Sciences at the University of North Carolina Wilmington; Dana Sargeant, Executive Director of Cape Fear River Watch; and Fred Royal, Stormwater Services Manager with the City of Wilmington. They explain how universities, local government, a nonprofit, and an engineering firm are collaborating to target the sources of pollution and clean up a lake that is a community amenity and ecological gem. waterloop is made possible in part by grants from Spring Point Partners and the Walton Family Foundation. waterloop is sponsored by High Sierra Showerheads, the smart and stylish way to save water, energy, and money while enjoying a powerful shower.

“If a woman can understand how she feels on different days her cycle, then she can start dialing and being more personalized with her training. When the hormones are low, this is where women have more power, more speed, recover better, have more “mojo” because they have less central nervous system fatigue. Around ovulation, with that boost of estrogen, some women feel bulletproof and other women feel a little bit flat, and then a couple days later they'll feel bulletproof, so, understanding that as well. And then when you get into the high hormone phase, with estrogen and progesterone being the highest, this is where we want women to deload more, where they're working functional technique and they're not doing too much high intensity, they're not trying to do top-end VO2 work because physiologically you're fighting your body because there's so many different metabolic and thermoregulatory and metabolic shifts that happen with the hormones. It's really hard to do that high, high intensity in the high hormone phase.” - Dr. Stacy Sims In the words of Stacy Sims, Ph.D, women are not small men.  Dr. Sims is an applied researcher, innovator, and entrepreneur in human performance, specifically sex differences in training, nutrition, and environmental conditions.   She is dedicated to educating women so that they can use their natural cycle to their advantage and train with their physiology, not against it. Dr. Sims earned her Ph.D. in Environmental Exercise Physiology and Sports Nutrition from the University of Otago in New Zealand.  From there, she began work as an exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist at Stanford University, where she specialized women's health and performance. During her tenure at Stanford, she had the opportunity to translate earlier research into a science-based layperson's book, ROAR: How to Match Your Food and Fitness to Your Unique Female Physiology for Optimum Performance, Great Health, and a Strong, Lean Body for Life.   In the book, she provides insights into how women can adapt their nutrition, hydration, and training to optimize their performance across the lifespan. Dr. Sims's contributions to the international research environment and the sports nutrition industry have established a new niche in sports nutrition and established her reputation as an expert in sex differences in training, nutrition, and health. She is a regularly featured speaker at professional and academic conferences, including those hosted by US Olympic Committee, High-Performance Sport NZ, and USA Cycling, and is a Senior Research Associate at AUT University. I was first introduced to Dr. Sims's work by Dr. Matt Dawson and today's co-host, Dr. Mike Mallin of Wild Health, and since then, it's seems like I've heard her name everywhere!  So many Pursuing Health listeners have suggested an episode with Dr. Sims, so I was excited to have a chance to chat with her to learn more about her work.  We discuss the general differences between male and female physiology, how women can tailor their nutrition, fitness, and hydration to optimize their performance at different times in their cycle, and considerations for peri- and post-menopausal as well as pre- and post-partum athletes. *Dr. Sim's bio adapted from her website     In this episode we discuss: Dr. Sims's background and how she became interested in women's health and performance The general physiological differences between men and women and the female hormone phases Ways women can adapt their training around their cycle Methods Dr. Sims's likes for tracking the female cycle How macronutrient consumption should be adjusted for different times in the cycle How hormones can affect thirst, and considerations for hydration The importance of adjusting training intensity at different times during the cycle Tips to help female CrossFit athletes optimize their training Changes women experience during peri- and post-menopause and exercise changes that should be considered Pregnancy and post-partum training and nutrition considerations for athletes Why fasting is not ideal for female athletes Lessons Dr. Sims would share with her younger self     You can connect with Dr. Sims on her website, Instagram, and Facebook.

“The model of medicine where you base treatment of patients on statistics and epidemiology- what works for most people- we felt like we could do better as a society and as a group of physicians, and that's what took us down the route of creating Wild Health and focusing on precision medicine.” - Dr. Matthew Dawson, Wild Health CEO Can human performance be optimized by tailoring medical care to each patient's unique genetic makeup? Matt Dawson, MD and Mike Mallin, MD are the co-founders of Wild Health, a healthcare clinic using a genomics-based personalized medicine approach. Dr. Dawson has been a life-long athlete focused on optimizing performance.  He received scholarships to play two sports in college even with self-professed "minimal talent" because of his voracious reading and implementation of any fitness or nutritional techniques that would give him an edge.  He continued that obsession into medical school at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine, and as a physician he has won numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership. Dr. Mallin has been in medical practice for 10 years, but obsessed with health, physical performance, and longevity his entire life. He attended the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and currently practices in Bend, Oregon. Dr. Mallin is board certified in emergency medicine and has completed a fellowship in point-of-care ultrasound. Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin met during their Emergency Medicine residency in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they bonded over their life-long passion for optimizing performance.  Throughout their residency, they continuously self-experimented with nutrition, fitness, and recovery techniques to give themselves a competitive edge. Together they have gone on to grow several businesses, create apps, and author two textbooks.  Most recently they founded Wild Health where they use a medical approach rooted in the lessons they learned during their time self-experimenting as residents. Wild Health utilizes a team of medical professionals to look at an individuals unique genetics, lab results, microbiome, and lifestyle factors in order to craft a precision treatment plan that fits the patient's health, fitness, and longevity goals. I recently had the opportunity to appear on Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin's Wild Health podcast, and I was excited to catch up with them at their home base in Lexington, Kentucky to have them as guests on Pursuing Health.  We talked about how they became interested in genomics and personalized medicine, how using an objective Health Score can motivate patients to make lifestyle changes, and the processes they're implementing to make precision treatment plans the future of medicine. In this episode we discuss: Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin's backgrounds in health and fitness, and why they decided to go into medicine How Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin met and some of the adventures they shared during residency The nutrition and biohacking they experimented with as they went through their medical training How Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin came to recognize that genomics were integral to practicing medicine What personalized medicine/genomics-based medicine means What the patient process looks like Using an objective Health Score to help motivate patients and give them a way to track progress How Wild Health uses health coaches to be more hands-on with their patients The Wild Health Fellowship The tipping point that allowed them to go all-in with Wild Health, and what their vision for the future looks like Three things Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin do on a regular basis that have the biggest positive impact on their health One thing they struggle to implement that could have a big impact on their health What a healthy life looks like to Dr. Dawson and Dr. Mallin You can follow Wild Health on their website, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

“When we think about exercise in general as sort of a hermetic stressor, it just makes sense to think about, if you're going to do it at a higher intensity and have these repeated hormetic stressors, you're going to get an overall greater response. It's a lot of the same mechanisms that we see for exercise causing a lot of great brain health and cognitive benefits, but we're just seeing it to a greater degree.” - Julie Foucher-Urcuyo, MD   In this special edition of Pursuing Health Pearls, I'm joining Dr. Matt Dawson and Dr. Mike Mallin at the Wild Health Brain Optimization Summit for an interview-style discussion focused on how high intensity interval training (HIIT) can optimize brain health. The Brain Optimization Summit featured doctors, scientists, biohackers, and nootropics professionals discussing lifestyle habits and methods to improve mental performance, memory formation, concentration, and professional creativity. This was a really fun conference, and they're planning to hold another similar conference on athletic optimization which I plan to participate in, so stay tuned.  I'm also excited to share more with you about Matt and Mike when I interview them in next week's episode so stay tuned for that as well! In this episode we discuss: The definition of high intensity interval training (HIIT) How HIIT relates to brain health and why it's advocated to improve brain health How HIIT can reduce risk of stroke and improve stroke recovery rates The amount of HIIT required to receive health benefits The mechanism behind getting brain health benefits from HIIT High intensity exercise versus moderate intensity exercise The impact of HIIT on dementia, depression, Parkinson's, and ADHD How to minimize the risks of HIIT How to safely introduce it to a sedentary individual How much HIIT is too much?

Your genetics play a huge role in your overall health but so too does your epigenetics and overall levels of inflammation and chronic disease. Mike Mallin with Wild Health joins me to chat about their process when working with patients as well as why tracking devices are integral to finding your best life plan.   The doctors and health care providers with Wild Health have spent years researching the role of genetics on overall health. They’ve also been working with their patients to increase overall longevity which is directly related to chronic inflammation. Mike shares their process as well as a personal story which highlights the differences among each of us as humans and why this must be factored into a true health plan.   We then start to discuss health trackers and why continuous glucose monitoring is integral to longevity. There are many health trackers in the world but two of Mike’s favorites are the Oura Ring and WHOOP. Listen to learn why!   Also, contrary to popular belief you can get a continuous glucose monitor in the U.S. with a doctor’s prescription. Your insurance however, may not cover it. That being said, Mike shares why using one of these devices, even if only for a few months, can tell you a lot about your overall health and how to improve it.    Last but not least we chat a bit about Covid and what Mike would tell his mother to do if she contracted it. At the very least, it makes sense for everyone to get their Vitamin D levels checked. This one supplement has been proven effective in helping to reduce symptoms and increase your chances of stay uninfected.    Mike shares so many amazing things with us about health, longevity, and why it’s important to understand your own unique makeup. Check the links below if you’d like to become one of Mike’s patients and start to really turn your health around!   In This Episode: [00:14] Welcome Mike Mallin with Wild Health.  [01:29] Where do they start when someone comes in and wants to improve their health?

In this Podcast, Mike Mallin, Michael Prats and I speak with Marco Garrone (Twitter: @drmarcogarrone; Website: https://www.ultrasonica.net/), an Italian physician working on the front lines of Torino, Italy. Here, we talk specifics regarding COVID-19 and Ultrasound. Check out the podcast! Interested in an online ultrasound fellowship? Check out www.ultrasoundleadershipacademy.com!

Dr Mike Mallin and Dr Mike Stone discuss two new papers released regarding ACE2 and IFITM3 polymorphisms as they related to risk of COVID infection. 

COVID-19 is taking the world by storm, and not in a good way.  As a medical community, we're scrambling trying to figure out how to best diagnose it and treat it.  In this podcast, Mike Mallin, Mike Stone, Michael Prats and I talk about the literature and our experiences with it thus far.  Check it out!

Mike Mallin, Mark Goodman, and Mike Stone go over the most important aspects of exercise and immune system function, as well as some new updates on COVID-19 virus surface stability data as it relates to public spaces and going to the gym.

In last week's post entitled "", I laid out a fully comprehensive, novel, and alternative health strategy to tackle health issues related to viruses and immune system enhancement—strategies that often go beyond simple pharmaceutical pill-popping or conventional medicine (similar to my previous posts on issues I've personally dealt with in the past, such as and ). In that article, I dove into natural ways I've been strengthening my immune system for my hefty amount of airline travel, even in the face of recent viral outbreaks that have made me have to be even more careful and thorough in my approach. Two friends of mine, Dr. Matthew Cook and Dr. Matthew Dawson, are true experts in the realms of functional and precision medicine, and both were kind enough to offer me their advice when it comes to boosting immunity and fighting viruses. I've included their audio in this podcast for your listening and learning pleasure. My first guest, Dr. Matthew Cook, has been on the following podcasts: Dr. Cook founded BioReset Medical Corporation and, as acting President, operates a regenerative and pain medicine practice that offers leading-edge non-surgical solutions in orthopedic medicine, sports medicine, regenerative pain medicine, and stem cell medicine. He is a board-certified anesthesiologist with over 20 years of experience in medical practice. Currently, Dr. Cook is president of California Anesthesia and medical director of the National Surgery Center, Los Gatos, CA. In addition, he sits on the scientific advisory board of several high profile medical companies including BM Doc, FREmedica & Vasper Systems. Dr. Cook’s early career as an anesthesiologist and medical director of an outpatient surgery center that specializes in sports medicine and orthopedic procedures provided invaluable training in the skills that are needed to become a leader in the emerging fields of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging, nerve hydrodissection, and stem cell medicine. My second pair of guests, Dr's Matt Dawson and Michael Mallin of WildHealthMD, have been on the following podcasts: Dr. Matt Dawson is a precision medicine physician in Lexington, KY, co-host of the and has been obsessed with performance optimization as long as he can remember. He received scholarships to play two sports in college even with “minimal talent” because of his voracious reading and implementation of any fitness or nutritional techniques that would give him an edge. Dr. Dawson continued that obsession in medical school, and as a physician, he has won national awards for education, innovation, and leadership. He has lectured in over 20 countries and trained thousands of other physicians through live lectures, online education, two textbooks, and an educational app. Dr. Dawson combines his training in genomics and functional medicine to give personalized, precise medical guidance. His obsession with performance optimization has morphed from, initially athletic, to now mental performance and longevity. Whether it's a professional athlete or a grandparent optimizing their mental clarity and mobility to keep up with their grandkids, Dr. Dawson is passionate about helping everyone perform at their absolute peak. Dr. Mike Mallin is a physician in Bend, OR who is obsessed with health performance and precision medicine and is co-founder of the . He completed medical school in South Carolina and trained in Emergency Medicine in Salt Lake City, UT where he competed in several ultramarathons and found his love for the mountains and performance. Mike currently practices in Bend, OR and Lexington, KY in his precision medicine clinics. He is also co-founder of the , an educational podcast that has taught thousands of physicians all over the world how to use ultrasound. During this podcast, you'll discover: Part 1 w/ Dr. Matt Cook of BioReset Medical (Begins at 5:25) -Dr. Cook's history w/ virology...7:10 Studied feline immunodeficiency virus, a model for HIV Anesthesiologist w/ an interesting approach to pain management Began to successfully treat patients w/ complex illnesses Many patients have viral infections, chronic illnesses w/ a viral overlight -A brief history of viral epidemics..9:08 Influenza pandemic from 1918-1920 (Spanish flu) infected over 500 million people worldwide; 17-50 million people died Fear of affecting morale of WWI soldiers; publicity was censored in Germany, U.S., U.K. The virus created an extreme inflammatory response Young people were especially susceptible SARS and MERS occurred more recently Both respiratory viruses Mortality rate from SARS was 9.6%; MERS was 34.4% Current mortality rate of COVID-19 is unclear right now Pattern of viral infections that create an exaggerated response, particularly in the lungs 3 categories of patients: 80% will get the virus and recover w/ no complications Patients w/ preexisting conditions are at greater risk Healthy patients get a viral infection, have an overreactive immune response -What is a "coronavirus?"...15:00 Viruses are extremely small Cold climates are ideal for viruses; they are very rare in tropical climates How are viruses transmitted? Respiratory droplets and other bodily fluids Stringent approach to maintaining cleanliness for prevention and treatment Pneumonia, fever, cough, shortness of breath; affects both lungs Symptoms can be in GI tract, low white blood cell counts Most common symptoms: fever, dry cough, tiredness; often there are no symptoms Most common complication is pneumonia Best practices for avoiding the virus: Avoid traveling to infected places Careful hand washing Avoid touching T zones Avoid crowded areas Keep your living area clean Majority of cases are relatively mild Small number can have complex problems Common symptoms: Fever Coughing Muscle pain Confusion Shortness of breath -What is the cytokine storm?...22:30 Primary target is the respiratory system Virus can't replicate itself w/out getting into a cell Body responds by making chemical messengers to create inflammatory response to fight the virus Inflammatory process is out of control; doesn't take effect -Immunology 101...25:30 Best known inflammatory cytokine is tumor necrosis factor A (TNF-A) Turns on other cytokines, promote an exaggerated inflammatory response Factors that drive the cytokine storm: Nuclear factor kappa beta (nuclear factor kappa bad) Block nuclear factor kappa beta, turn on NrF2 (helps modulate inflammatory response to a stress) Status of testing: Quest diagnostics will offer a test for the current viral outbreak Gates Foundation working on an at-home test How to treat influenza: Hand-washing is one of the greatest medical concepts of our time Patients w/ mild illnesses can self-quarantine -Treatment options for viruses...33:45 Most important factor is containment Improve your hygiene A great job done w/ the 80% of mild cases gives hope that it will be beat Steroids have done more harm than good in the past Be aware of anti-viral medications Remdisivir Kelapra Antioxidants: NAC (antiviral effects) Vitamin C Glycyrrhizin Plant-derived antioxidants w/ antiviral effects Upregulate NrF2 Ozone therapy may be an activator -A functional medicine approach to wellness...40:18 Plato: "The part can never be well unless the whole is well" Systems approach is the best way to optimize immune system Immune system is centered in the gut Problems come with age because diversity in microbiome goes down SIBO leads to leaky gut Difficulties in fighting chronic illness is due to multiple systems in the body dysfunctioning Increasing overall wellness provides the best defense against viruses Effective supplements for immune system wellness: Vitamin C administered intravenously Vitamin D (pro-survival molecule) helps dampen chronic reactions Curcumin and quercetin has been found to inhibit kappa b Probiotics may balance the GI tract X-Viromin Apex Energetics Life Extensions Zinc Lozenges Quercetin Vitamin C combo Vitamin A helpful to immune system, Vitamin D offsets some of the toxicity (cod liver oil) Quicksilver "The One" Lauricidin Apex Energetics Turmero NAD Gold from Quicksilver Royal jelly Raw honey Oleuropein (derivative of olive leaf) -About ozone therapy...1:06:35 Used by naturopaths and more and more doctors Nikola Tesla patented first ozone generator in 1896 Ozone has antiviral, anti fungal, antiparasitic effects Stimulates NrF2 Decreases cytokines Ozone is an oxidative therapy (helpful used w/ anti-oxidative treatments) Ozone can oxidize sulfhydryl groups on the virus (may block ability of the virus to get into the cell) "Oxidative preconditioning" Pretreatment w/ ozone could be beneficial before exposure to a chronic infection How is it administered: Ozone generator Ozone enema Sauna treatment Mix w/ blood, reinsert into body Ozone dialysis Proponents of ozone therapy: Dr. Frank Schallenberger, world's foremost authority on ozone therapy Dr. Johann Lahodny (high dose ozone therapy) Dr. Robert Rowen Longevity ozone generators -How exosomes affect the immune system...1:28:30 Exosomes are the secretion of stem cells The person who invented the term "stem cell" changed it to "medicinal signaling cell" Exosomes have TGF beta Patients w/ COPD have had exosome treatments Can be administered via IV or nebulizer Trial: Stem cells grown in a lab given to patients with the current virus Part 2 w/ Drs. Dawson and Mallin of  (Begins at 1:48:12) -What we know about COVID-19 at the time of recording (12 March 2020)...1:50:00 COVID-19 is the illness not the virus (SARS 2) COVID-2 is the virus "Coronavirus" is a family of viruses Lower respiratory health is affected Virus is spread w/out feeling symptoms Case fatality rate reported as 3.4%; varies by country Transmissibility rate is the number of people you'll infect on average (2.2 currently) Worse on the elderly, mild on children The data is changing by the hour -How COVID-19 compares with pandemics from the past...1:53:47 2009 H1N1 infected 25% of global population 1918 Spanish flu infected 1/3 of the pop.

We can't immediately change the process of medicine, the stuff that is kind of a drag and wears us down. What we can change, however, is our mindset. In this episode, we dissect several practices for shift preparation with a common goal of operating at a peak level of performance and experiencing more joy in what we do. Today we learn how to pregame, like a pro.   We discuss: When the process of practicing medicine becomes your purpose for being a doctor, you’re at risk for burnout, if not worse. [00:30] The system will not adjust to what you need right now.  You have to adjust yourself. [1:45] How accepting gratitude, and other small changes in mindset, can have a logarithmic return on investment. [4:50] The ways that many elite-level performers pregame.  They rely on their rituals for peak performance.

During our discussion, you'll discover: -Why DNA data in and of itself is insufficient... Epigenomics: Genomics taken in context of the whole person Get a sense of what a person's genes are transcribing via lab values Understand how lifestyle and habits can affect specific genes (ex. PGC1A) Needed a simplified means of interpreting genetic results Falsehoods have been noted in DNA reports A comprehensive analysis includes lifestyle, preferences, microbiome, etc. DNA reports will occasionally translate RSID's wrong Misreading data can lead to unhealthy lifestyle decisions -What sets Drs. Dawson and Mallin's new software apart from other DNA software... Lifestyle and patient preferences factor heavily Microbiome data is important Looking for a more comprehensive picture of a patient than simple data Cholesterol levels, cardiovascular conditions, etc. are taken into account -The results from the software thus far...

Explaining decisions (storytelling) and making decisions are inextricably connected, equally important and...not that different.   We sat for a coffee with Mike Mallin to discuss the art of storytelling in product management. We started with storytelling but we touched many points of product management including communication, taking the right decisions and judging them, charisma, time management, mobilizing people, and enabling other people to make decisions.   Links; Linkedin of Mike   This is an episode in English of a podcast that is usually in Hebrew.   רוצים לשמוע עוד פרקים. עשו לייק לעמוד הפודקאסט בפייסבוק ותדעו בדיוק מתי הם יוצאים.   רוצים להיות שותפים לדיונים ולשאול שאלות את המרואיינים. הצטרפו לקבוצת הפייסבוק עקבו אחרינו בטוויטר   אהבתם ורוצים לעזור לנו כך שגם אחרים יהנו.  המליצו עלינו בפייסבוק ודרגו אותנו באפליקצית הפודקאסטים החביבה עליכם.

Your shoulder is the most complicated joint in your body.  The shoulder bones are just floating in space! Just like your glutes (see prior podcast), our lifestyles spent mostly sitting at desks puts us in a slouched position, with drooping shoulders and poor scapular activation.  In this podcast Dr Mike Mallin and Dr Mark Goodman talk again with our favorite physical therapist, Denny Dragon of Redbird Physical Therapy in Bend, OR.  Denny helped Mike rehab his shoulder after a rotator cuff tear...or two.  What we Learned: 1) Scapular elevation is important to protect the rotator cuff. 2) Chances are good you're doing the bodybuilder shoulder raise and don't even know it.  3) Mark doesn't move his shoulder right. 4) The best way to train your scapula to move is to do lots and lots of shoulder raises, the right way. 

Your butt may be more important than you ever realized! Our sedentary lifestyles spent mostly sitting at desks train your glute not to activate.  This leads to imbalances, weakness, and injury. In this podcast Dr. Mike Mallin and Dr. Mark Goodman talk with one of our favorite physical therapists, Denny Dragon of Redbird Physical Therapy in Bend, OR. Denny has and continues to treat world class athletes and knows more about the glutes than anyone we know.    What we Learned: 1) The glute medius is responsible for stabilizing the hip joint and instability leads to knee pain, hip pain, and ankle sprains.  2) The glute maximus is the "powerhouse" and we can optimize its use through some simple drills.  3) Mike has a weak glute medius 4) The best way to activate your glute medius is to do banded lateral walks.

The LAST DAY of Castlefest 2019 was a great one (as were all of the other days). Check out day 4’s summary: Jimmy Fair:  Diastology: Consider approaching diastology as binary; does your patient have elevated left atrial pressure or not? If you want a more in-depth summary, watch: Diastology part 1, Diastology part 2 Cardiac arrest: Concentrate on getting windows during your 10 second pulse check, save clips, then interpret the image during compressions. Unless if you have TEE.  Then just leave it in there and get continuous monitoring. RUSH: It’s not a law that you have to do every part of the RUSH exam in all your hypotensive patients. Peter Weimersheimer: Pelvic Ultrasound: If you can get the answer with transabdominal US, you don’t necessarily need to go for the endocavitary probe TEE: Why learn this if I get good TTE views during arrest?  Answer: Because you often can’t.  Also, some tips on how to start a TEE program. Here’s the Link to Annals of Emergency Medicine article on TEE and cardiac arrest (that Mike Mallin was second author on) Claire Heslop:  Volume responsiveness is defined as the ability of a patient to increase their cardiac output with fluids.  Best way to tell with US: VTI.  Although carotid flow time is an up-and-comer.

"The good physician treats the disease. The great physician treats the patient." - Sir William Osler You deserve better than the broken, assembly-line medical system. The world deserves the optimized version of you. We can get you there. So claim my guests on today's show, Dr. Matt Dawson and Dr. Mike Mallin of , with physical locations in Versailles, Kentucky and Bend, Oregon. Dr. Matt Dawson is a precision medicine physician in Lexington, KY and co-host of the Wild Health podcast. Dr. Dawson has been obsessed with performance optimization as long as he can remember. He received scholarships to play two sports in college even with "minimal talent" because of his voracious reading and implementation of any fitness or nutritional techniques that would give him an edge. He continued that obsession in medical school and, as a physician, he has won national awards for education, innovation, and leadership. He has lectured in over 20 countries and trained thousands of other physicians through live lecture, online education, two textbooks, and an educational app. He combines his training in genomics and functional medicine to give personalized, precise medical guidance. His obsession with performance optimization has morphed from initially athletic to now mental performance and longevity. Whether it's a professional athlete or a grandparent optimizing their mental clarity and mobility to keep up with their grandkids, Dr. Dawson is passionate about helping everyone perform at their absolute peak. Dr. Mike Mallin is a physician in Bend, Oregon who is obsessed with health performance and precision medicine and is co-founder of the Wild Health podcast.

Mike currently practices in Bend, Oregon and Lexington, Kentucky in his precision medicine clinic. He is also co-founder of the Ultrasound Podcast, an educational podcast that has taught thousands of physicians all over the world how to use ultrasound, as well as Wild Health, his newest podcast focusing on health performance and longevity. During our discussion, you'll discover: -How Dr. Dawson played two sports in college despite possessing "minimal talent"...8:55 Received two scholarships: tennis and soccer Became obsessed with performance; auto-didact Focused on helping others optimize their fitness and performance goals Ben had to figure out ways to train to overcome physical limitations in college - first foray into biohacking -The story behind the founding of Wild Health...13:05 Met 12 years ago, residency in Salt Lake City Interested in personal health for performance; competed with each other Became interested in genomics trying to fix Dr. Mallin's cholesterol numbers, which were very high Extremely high LDL; over 300 Used epidemiology; lots of guess work. Frustrated with conventional methods Saw need for adding genomic and microbiome data into the treatment Began studying "precision medicine" Treat patients primarily in person, in their respective clinics Data is important, but focus on a relationship, know patient's lifestyle, etc. -What the heck is "precision medicine"...17:45 First and foremost: not treating a patient as a statistic What may be true for a "population" may not necessarily be true for an individual Two individuals with the same problem (ex. insufficient Vitamin D) may require completely different treatments -Machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence used in precision medicine...20:10 Closest we can come to that at the moment is the human brain Difficulty in obtaining accurate data is in lifestyle factors Great potential; Onegevity () has great potential but too many variables Is there a "gold standard" test that Drs. Mallin and Dawson use on their patients Varies with each individual according to their needs and specific situation/lifestyle -Strategies Drs. Mallin and Dawson recommend in terms of athletic performance optimization...24:15 Depends on the individual Some need more recovery time than others Genetic tests to determine power vs. endurance Focus on doing what people like to do Optimize sleep: oura ring, Elite athletes, exercise enthusiasts Won't change based on genetic data Focus on overtraining by using data to educate them appropriately Can better identify a power vs. endurance approach with someone who is more passive in their regimen What Matt's daily exercise regimen looks like: Sauna: near infrared light, meditation (20 minutes) 90 lb. kettlebell; short sets (20 minutes) Reading (20 minutes Short, compressed exercise much more efficacious than a long run, long sets of strenuous activity HRV, breath work, -How Drs. Mallin and Dawson approach cognitive performance, as well as dementia and Alzheimers...36:50 Start with genetic testing Alzheimers easier to treat before symptoms start If you have apoe4 gene, you're 3-15x more likely to have Alzheimers; earlier onset There are ways to treat Alzheimers with the right data at hand Healthy diet, sleep, detoxification Book: -How Drs. Mallin and Dawson approach longevity and anti-aging...43:30 Ultimate hack: find an ancient practice (like fasting) that simulates a modern day compound like rapamycin or metformin Results from studies on athletes who take compounds like metformin? What about stem cells... Proceed with caution. Possible if a patient has major health issues. Educate them and let them make the decision they believe is best -Drs.
