What if the biggest improvements to your health aren't hiding inside another supplement, expensive biohack, or complicated protocol, but in the signals you're sending your body every single day? In this special episode of the SuperLife Podcast, Darin walks through his personal daily routine from the moment he wakes up, explaining not only what he does, but why he does it. From getting outside before touching his phone to morning light, hydration, meditation, breathwork, journaling, cacao, movement, food, and eventually shutting off the breaker to his bedroom at night, Darin breaks down the practices he has built into the rhythm of his life. But this isn't a prescription to copy Darin's routine. It's an invitation to understand the biological signals behind it and build your own. Darin's central idea is simple: food is information, light is information, breath is information. Every input you give your body becomes a set of instructions your cells have to respond to. Drawing from research on circadian biology, hydration, meditation, nervous system regulation, expressive writing, cacao flavanols, resistance training, cardiovascular health, and longevity, Darin explains how simple behaviors compound over decades. The healthiest and longest-lived people he has encountered around the world didn't necessarily follow elaborate protocols. Their health was embedded into a rhythm of light, movement, real food, darkness, and sleep. This is a practical look inside the habits Darin actually uses, and a reminder that your health isn't created by one massive intervention. It's built through the seemingly insignificant decisions you repeat every day. What You'll Learn What Darin does from the moment he wakes up each morning Why he goes outside before looking at his phone How morning light helps synchronize your circadian rhythm and nighttime sleep Why hydration comes before coffee or other stimulants How meditation and conscious breathing can change your relationship with stress Why Darin considers breath one of the fastest ways to influence your nervous system How journaling can help process emotions, gratitude, grief, and mental stress Why cacao has become part of Darin's morning ritual How resistance training and aerobic movement support long-term health Why Darin believes health is ultimately about creating a biological rhythm rather than blindly following someone else's protocol Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: Bite 00:02:49 – What Darin does before touching his phone every morning 00:03:11 – Why your biology is waiting for the signal of morning light 00:03:44 – The purpose behind Darin's daily routine 00:04:12 – Why you shouldn't simply copy someone else's protocol 00:04:37 – Food, light, and breath are information 00:05:06 – How the modern day disrupts your natural biology 00:05:51 – The danger of stacking small "fatal conveniences" for decades 00:06:20 – Why Darin built his life around biological rhythm 00:06:47 – Darin's morning hydration routine 00:07:11 – Why Darin wakes up between 4 and 5 A.M. 00:07:38 – Morning sunlight, no sunglasses, and no screens 00:07:48 – Your body's master circadian clock 00:08:40 – What research says about morning sunlight and sleep 00:09:21 – The cheapest thing you can do tonight for better sleep 00:09:44 – Why Darin drinks water before anything else 00:10:22 – Darin's daily meditation practice 00:10:54 – What research shows about mindfulness, anxiety, depression, and pain 00:11:33 – Sponsor: Fatty15 00:15:14 – Training yourself not to be hijacked by the modern world 00:15:43 – Your breath is the steering wheel of your nervous system 00:16:33 – The five-minute breathing practice that changed mood and respiratory rate 00:17:13 – How conscious breathing can shift your nervous system 00:17:42 – Darin's journaling and gratitude practice 00:18:15 – Journaling through grief after losing his mother 00:18:44 – What expressive writing research reveals about mental health 00:19:17 – Why an unprocessed thought can become physiological stress 00:19:30 – The sequence Darin follows before consuming anything stimulating 00:19:39 – Why cacao is part of Darin's morning ritual 00:20:06 – Darin reveals the cacao project he's developing 00:20:32 – The massive COSMOS cacao study 00:21:36 – Cacao and potential cognitive benefits 00:22:13 – Flavanols, nitric oxide, theobromine, magnesium, and polyphenols 00:22:50 – What to avoid when choosing cacao 00:23:19 – Darin's approach to resistance training 00:23:43 – Why movement doesn't need to be complicated 00:24:19 – Resistance training and longevity 00:24:54 – The powerful combination of strength training and aerobic activity 00:25:17 – Why walking may be one of the simplest longevity tools 00:25:46 – Muscle, blood sugar, myokines, and grip strength 00:26:15 – How injury changed Darin's relationship with training 00:26:51 – Training to experience more of life 00:27:14 – The principle the entire episode builds toward: food is information 00:27:26 – What you've learned from Darin's morning routine 00:27:49 – What Darin eats every day and his nighttime routine 00:28:18 – Continue Darin's complete daily protocol on Patreon Thank You to Our Sponsors: Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

It's built from the information you repeatedly give your body. Light is information. Breath is information. Food is information. Movement is information. Darkness is information. Every day, your cells are listening to the signals you send them, whether you're consciously choosing those signals or allowing the modern world to choose them for you. You don't need to copy my routine. Understand why these practices matter, listen to your own body, and build a rhythm that works for your life. Because the seemingly insignificant things you do every morning, every afternoon, and every night eventually become your biology." Bibliography/Sources Morning Light Anderson, et al. (2025).

Fenugreek, a culinary herb with a rich history dating back to ancient times, has gained considerable attention in recent years for its remarkable health benefits. I was surprised to how popular it is as a Google search, so I decided it was time to write about fenugreek. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, this versatile plant has become increasingly popular in modern wellness practices. In this article, you'll discover the impressive benefits of fenugreek for males and females, its potential as an appetite suppressant, and how it may support healthy hair and testosterone levels. Nutritional Profile of Fenugreek Before delving into the benefits of fenugreek, I want to point out some of its nutrition contents. Rich in macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals, fenugreek also contains a wealth of phytochemicals and antioxidants that contribute to its powerful health-promoting properties.Kaviarasan S, et al. Phenolic antioxidants from the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek). Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. 2004;52(20):6244-6249. Macronutrients Fenugreek seeds provide an impressive 23% protein content, making them a valuable plant-based protein source.Aghili M, et al. Macronutrient Composition of Fenugreek Seeds. Journal of Food Science and Engineering. 2014;4(1):1-6. Keep in mind that you'd still need to eat a substantial amount compared to eating meat, and they wouldn't offer the same amino acid profile. Comprised of 58% carbohydrates, fenugreek is primarily made up of dietary fiber, which plays a crucial role in supporting healthy digestion, which is where part of the health benefits of fenugreek comes from. And, it's low in fat, which may be important to some people. Micronutrients and Phytonutrients Fenugreek contains numerous other health-promoting compounds, including: Vitamin B6: This essential nutrient supports immune function, brain health, and the production of energy in the body.National Institutes of Health. Vitamin B6: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminB6-HealthProfessional/ Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is essential for collagen production and immune function.National Institutes of Health. Vitamin C: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/VitaminC-HealthProfessional/ Calcium: Crucial for healthy bones and teeth, calcium also plays a role in nerve function and muscle contraction.National Institutes of Health. Calcium: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Calcium-HealthProfessional/ Iron: This vital mineral is necessary for the production of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen throughout the body.National Institutes of Health. Iron: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iron-HealthProfessional/ Magnesium: Magnesium supports over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy production and muscle function.National Institutes of Health. Magnesium: Fact Sheet for Health Professionals. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/ Saponins: These compounds possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-boosting properties, contributing to fenugreek's health benefits.Kaviarasan S, et al. Phenolic antioxidants from the seeds of Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek). Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. 2004;52(20):6244-6249. Flavonoids: These antioxidants help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Alkaloids: Alkaloids in fenugreek have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and analgesic effects.Sharma RD. Hypolipidemic and hypocholesterolemic effect of fenugreek seeds. Nutrition Research. 1990;10(7):731-739. Top Health Benefits of Fenugreek With its impressive nutritional profile, fenugreek offers a myriad of health benefits for both males and females. Let's take a closer look at some of these adva...
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.26.509539v1?rss=1 Authors: Lu, W., LEAL, W. S., Brisco, K. K., An, S., Cornel, A. J. Abstract: The cornerstone of the reverse chemical ecology approach is the identification of odorant receptors (OR) sensitive to compounds in a large panel of odorants. In this approach, we de-orphanize ORs and, subsequently, measure behaviors elicited by these semiochemicals. After that, we evaluate behaviorally active compounds for applications in insect vector management. Intriguingly, multiple ORs encoded by genes highly expressed in mosquito antennae do not respond to any test odorant. One such case is CquiOR125 from the southern house mosquito, Culex quinquefasciatus Say. To better understand CquiOR125 role in Culex mosquito olfaction, we have cloned a CquiOR125 orthologue in the genome of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (L.), AaegOR11. Unlike the unresponsive nature of the orthologue in Cx. quinquefasciatus, oocytes co-expressing AaegOR11 and AaegOrco elicited robust responses when challenged with fenchone, 2,3-dimethylphenol, 3,4-dimethylphenol, 4-methycyclohexanol, and acetophenone. AlphaFold models showed that AaegOR11 and CquiOR125 share structural homolog cores with MhraOR5, the only insect OR structure (PDB: 7LID) elucidated to date. Interestingly, AaegOR11 responded strongly and equally to (+)- and (-)-fenchone, with no chiral discrimination. Contrary to reports in the literature, fenchone did not show any repellency activity against Ae. aegypti or Cx. quinquefasciatus. Laboratory and field tests did not show significant increases in egg captures in cups filled with fenchone solutions compared to control cups. The second most potent ligand, 2,3-dimethylphenol, showed repellency activity stronger than that elicited by DEET at the same dose. We, therefore, concluded that AaegOR11 is a mosquito repellent sensor. It is feasible that CquiOR125 responds to repellents that remain elusive. Copy rights belong to original authors.

“I was wondering if I can treat cancer cells with olive oil. So I poured some Governor olive oil on a plate of prostate cancer cells. I went home and I came back in the morning - all the cancer cells were dead.“ - Dr. Limor Goren, Founder of kyoord Today's guest is Dr. Limor Goren, Founder of kyoord where we will take a deep dive into the longevity and health optimization benefits of olive oil, what polyphenols are and their healing properties, including in fighting cancer, how olive oil improves brain function, why olive oil harvesting families keep the first bottles of the harvest and much more! Dr. Limor Goren is the founder of kyoord. She is a cancer researcher with a PhD in Molecular Biology. Her research centers on one of the most important anti-inflammatory molecules found in medicinal olive oil called Oleocanthal. Dr. Goren discovered one of the mechanisms by which Oleocanthal is toxic to cancer and showed that olive oils that are rich in oleocanthal are an effective strategy to kill various types of cancer cells. Dr. Goren started kyoord after she received numerous requests from friends and family for the medicinal olive oil she used in her research, and realized it was not easily accessible in the US. She searched the world for the best high-phenolic olive oil and ultimately came across a small family-owned farm and mill in Corfu Greece, which had just won an award for having the highest concentration of oleocanthal ever discovered at that time. From here, kyoord was born and Dr. Goren's mission to advocate for the health benefits of olive oil took hold. It is her goal to spread awareness about this holistic approach to health, and to make high-phenolic olive oil accessible to consumers. Please enjoy!

Welcome to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast. I'm your host Forrest Kelly from the seed to the glass. Wine has a past. Our aim at The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast is to look for adventure at wineries around the globe. After all grape minds think alike. Let's start the adventure. We go on a different journey. We don't drop into a specific winery. We are speaking with Todd White, founder, and CEO of https://www.dryfarmwines.com/ (Dry Farm Wines). There are 76 additives approved by the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration (FDA) for use in winemaking. Four of them are quite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity (toxic). The most toxic is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_dicarbonate (Dimethyl dicarbonate) marketed under the brand name https://velcorin.com/ (Velcorin). And it's used to treat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brettanomyces (Brettanomyces), which is the most common bacterial fault and why it's highly toxic. If you go to Dimethyl dicarbonate on Wikipedia, you'll see how toxic it is. Okay, I did look it up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (Wikipedia) Dimethyl dicarbonate. It is classified as toxic. The first warning is harmful if swallowed. It's also toxic by inhalation. It causes burns. Well, that's not really something that you want to be ingesting, especially if you're going to be drinking it over a lifetime. Now, the public doesn't know about these additives some and in fairness some are natural. Many are not. The wine industry spends millions of dollars a year and lobby money to keep content labeling and nutritional information off of wine labels. So you don't have any idea how much sugar is in the wine you're drinking. To people who care about their health sugar is a very important thing they want to know about. So our job is education. The wine sells itself. Now, that brings up the question. Dryfarmwines.com because of these strict guidelines. Why don't you carry any domestic wines? The reason being is that there are not really any U.S. wines that meet our criteria. And so you talk about U.S. wines. There are a number of difficult criteria for them to meet. And they're in the order of dry farming. So almost all domestic vineyards are irrigated. Number two, alcohol. We don't accept any alcohol over twelve and a half percent. And that's lab tested by us. Alcohol stated on a wine bottle is not required by law to be accurate. So we did lab testing for alcohol. So there are virtually no U.S. wines made that are twelve and a half percent or lower in alcohol. Virtually none. And then the third most prevalent reason that a U.S. wine wouldn't qualify for our program is cost. So all of our wines sell for exactly the same amount. They're $22.00 a bottle. There are no U.S. wines that meet our criteria of organic or biodynamic dry farming and alcohol that cost anywhere close to $22.00. The primary driver on a domestic wine price is going to be the cost of the land. All of U. S. vineyard costs are just so much higher than the capital cost of land in Europe and places like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaujolais (Beaujolais), where anywhere across Europe where most of these small family farms that produce natural wines that we buy wine from, most of them are multigenerational landowners, that they don't have any capital costs. We're constantly being told to hydrate, drink more water. That philosophy does not transfer to grapevines. There are a lot of reasons not to irrigate a grapevine. And in most of Europe, it's against the law to irrigate grapevines. Europeans have been making wine for over 3000 years. Now what we know, the moment you irrigate a great vine, you fundamentally change the physiology of how the fruit ripens. It also makes for a lazy vine and the fruit is actually less healthy. So the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenolic_content_in_wine (polyphenols), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavonoid (flavonoids), native https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavonoid (flavonoids), and other...
South German-Style Dunkel WeizenDescription (courtesy of Beer Advocate)Similar to a Hefeweizen, these southern German wheat beers are brewed as darker versions (Dunkel means "dark") with deliciously complex malts and a low balancing bitterness. Creamy and full-bodied, most Dunkelweizen are medium amber to amber-brown and appear slightly murky from the weizen yeast. Phenolic (clove) and fruity (banana, bubble gum) character will usually be present in the nose, and some examples may even taste like banana bread.-Color – Copper-brown to very dark-Clarity: If served with yeast, appearance may be very cloudy.-Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Distinct sweet maltiness and a chocolate-like character from roasted malt characterize this beer style. Dark barley malts are frequently used along with dark Cara or color malts.-Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Not present-Perceived Bitterness: Low-Body : Medium to full-Additional notes: These beers are made with at least 50 percent wheat malt. They are often roused during pouring, and when yeast is present, they will have a yeasty flavor and a fuller mouthfeel.-ABV: 4.8%-5.4%-Glassware: Weizen GlassExampleErdinger Weissbier Dunkel - Erdinger Weissbräu - ABV 5.3 %Notes: Carefully selected dark malts with delicate roasting aromas give ERDINGER Dunkel its full-bodied flavor and strong character.This elegant wheat beer has a lustrous, deep dark-brown appearance in the glass. The first sip reveals a harmonious symphony of carefully selected wheat and barley malts with exquisite Hallertau aroma hops. The taste buds detect hints of caramel, nuts and fresh bread. An unmistakable top-fermenting accent is provided by ERDINGER’s traditional yeast.ERDINGER Dunkel first saw the light of day in 1989, when ERDINGER’s master brewers created a dark wheat beer as a birthday present for the private brewery’s owner, Werner Brombach. He liked it so much that he decided to put it on the market in 1990.Craft Beer Storm Website: www.craftbeerstorm.com If your Company, Hotel or Restaurant wants to book a CraftBeer Weekend or Craft Beer Evening for your guests or employees send an email to Michael@craftbeerstorm.com Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craft-beer-storm-podcast-30776075/Subscribe to Craft Beer Storm Podcast iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/craft-beer-storm/id1438117278?mt=2*** A Top 20 Podcast in Food on iTunes ***Michael Potorti is the Host of Craft Beer Storm and Founder/Brewer at Beara Brewing Co. in Portsmouth, NH*** Interested in starting your own brewery?

On this week's episode, Stacy and Sarah are updating us about mushrooms! Since our last episode, Episode 307, we've discovered so much new information on mushrooms. Sarah considers them to be another food group! Find out why on Episode 392! If you enjoy the show, please review it on iTunes! The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 392: Are Mushrooms Really Magic? Part 2 Introduction (0:44) Stacy isn't in charge this week! Time for Sarah to nerd out! Sarah is almost done with her gut microbiome book. She thinks only 2 months before she turns it in. Now that she has all this information on the microbiome, it's now of equal importance as nutrient density. "One of the foods that I have realized needs to be its own food group, needs to be emphasized, that just doesn't get enough play in any health conscious community is mushrooms." We did an episode on mushroom extracts in episode 307, but we only scratched the surface. Now we see mushrooms as a foundational food. We'll explore why in this episode. Stacy wants to see if we can figure out why she craves mushrooms with her steak when she has PMS Sponsored Episode by Real Mushrooms (8:48) Real Mushrooms is the premier provider of organic mushroom extracts, verified for the beneficial medicinal compounds like beta-glucans and free from starchy fillers like grains. With over 40 years of mushroom growing experience, Real Mushrooms prides itself on providing a transparent source of medicinal mushrooms that you can trust. Sarah has fallen in love with their super high quality, lab tested mushroom extracts as powder or pill or chocolate! Landing Page: https://www.realmushrooms.com/lp-thepaleoview/ Deal: 25% off, no coupon needed What mushrooms are their own food group (11:41) Not a vegetable! Fungus are a different kingdom from plants. Unique phytochemicals we can’t get anywhere else: polyphenols, triterpenes. Unique fiber we can’t get anywhere else: chitin, beta-glucans, chitosan Extremely nutrient dense Uniquely beneficial for the gut microbiome (mediates health benefits) A 100-gram serving of the least impressive mushroom (the white or common mushroom), raw, contains a whopping 24% of the RDA of vitamin B2, 18% of vitamin B3, 15% of vitamin B5, 16% of copper, 13% of selenium, 9% each of phosphorous and potassium, and smaller but still impressive amounts of vitamins B1, B6, B9, C and D as well as iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc—all for only 22 calories. While we don't count calories, that's certainly nutrient dense! Phytochemicals and fiber are very important for the gut microbiome. And then the gut microbiome breaks down nutrients for us to use. Phenolic compounds (17:50) All antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and many other beneficial properties. protocatechuic acid. Studies suggest protocatechuic acid is a potent antioxidant that can reduce inflammation, protect the liver from damage, prevent cancer, protect against ulcers, and protect against cardiovascular disease, in addition to both anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. gentisic acid. Studies suggest gentisic acid has anti-inflammatory, antirheumatic and antioxidant properties, can protect cells from damage caused by gamma radiation, can protect the liver from damage, and enhances antioxidant enzyme activity. gallic acid. Studies show that gallic acid has potent antioxidant effects, reduces inflammation, and may protect against cardiovascular disease, cancer, and infection. In fact, gallic acid may prove useful in the treatment of depression, cancer, and some types of infection. vanillic acid. Studies show that vanillic acid has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may even act as a pain reliever. It’s also cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. p-coumaric acid. Studies suggest p-coumaric acid can reduce inflammation, reduce intestinal inflammation, regulate the immune system, improve bone density, act as an antidepressant, prevent cancer, protect against kidney damage, and protect against tissue damage caused by drugs and alcohol. Cinnamic acid. Another potent antioxidant, studies suggest that cinnamic acid has antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties in addition to protecting against cancer and diabetes. syringic acid. Studies show that syringic acid may protect against cancer, diabetes, liver damage and lung damage. myricetin. Studies show that myricetin is a superstar thanks to its strong anti-oxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory activities. It may protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, as well as cardiovascular disease, liver damage, and glaucoma. Myricetin also protects against photoaging, thrombosis, hypertention, allergies and can even act as a pain reliever! catechin. Studies show that catechins act as antioxidants but also boost the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Catechins are also anti-inflammatory and modulate the immune system, anti-bacterial, anti-cancer and can boost metabolism and promote healthy weight loss. Catechin also helps shifting the gut microbiome towards a healthy microbiome from an obese microbiome. Present when they do a fecal transplant in mice. Triterpenes (26:37) Mushrooms are also particularly rich in triterpenes (including ergosterol, ganoleucoin, ganoderic acid and pyrrole alkaloids), which have a variety of properties that are important for cancer prevention, including antiproliferative, antimetastatic, and antiangiogenic. About 80 different triterpenes have been isolated from reishi alone, some of which are known to kill hepatoma cells (liver cancer cells), to inhibit histamine release from mast cells (anti-allergic effect), to have cardioprotective effects (by modulating angiotensin) and hepatoprotective activity. Fiber (29:28) Chitin Chitin is a type of fermentable oligosaccharide fiber made of long chains of a glucose derivative called N-acetylglucosamine with amino acids attached. It can only be obtained from mushrooms and other fungi, insect exoskeletons, fish scales, and shellfish shells. In studies, chitin has been shown to support the growth of species from Bifidobacterium (including Bifidobacterium animalis), Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, and Bacteroides while also decreasing the abundance of the inflammatory microbe Desulfovibrio. In mice, chitin oligosaccharides are also able to modulate the gut microbiota to combat diet-induced metabolic syndrome in mice, inhibiting the destruction of the gut barrier, restoring the Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio to what it was before high-fat feeding, and reversing the decreases in Porphyromonadaceae, Deferribacteraceae, and Coriobacteriaceae and the increases in Rhodospirillaceae, Christensenellaceae, Bacteroidaceae, Lactobacillaceae, Bifidobacteriaceae, Verrucomicrobiaceae, and Erysipelotrichaceae induced by high-fat feeding. At the genus level, chitin fiber dramatically increased levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Akkermansia, and Bacteroides in these mice, while decreasing the abundance of the less favorable Desulfovibrio. In human fecal culture, chitin-glucan fiber also beneficially increases the Lactobacillus/Enterococcus ratio. Chitosan Chitosan is also composed of a long chain of N-acetylglucosamine molecules, but it also contains randomly distributed D-glucosamine molecules linked in a beta configuration. It is only naturally-occurring in the cell walls of fungi, like mushrooms. In mice, chitosan increases gut microbial diversity (along with a general increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes) and decreases levels of potentially pathogenic genera Escherichia and Shigella. In diabetic mice, chitosan has also been shown to reshape the microbiota to induce an anti-diabetic effect, relieving dysbiosis by raising levels of Akkermansia muciniphilia and suppressing the growth of Helicobacter. Beta-Glucans Glucans are polysaccharides derived from D-glucose, linked by either alpha-glycosidic bonds (making them alpha-glucans) or beta-glycosidic bonds (making them beta-glucans). Mushrooms are particularly rich sources of beta-glucans (more specifically (1-3),(1-6)-beta-glucans which are different than the (1,4)-beta-glucans in grains like oats), which feed anaerobic microbes in the gut and can significantly increase levels of, butyric and propionic acids (the second best source of beta-glucans is oats). Beta-glucans have been shown to increase levels of Roseburia, Bifidobacterium and Dialister, and in particular the species Eubacterium rectale, Roseburia faecis, and Roseburia intestinalis. In a human trial, foods rich in beta-glucan, increased levels of Roseburia hominis, Clostridiaceae (Clostridium orbiscindens and probiotic Clostridium species), and Ruminococcus species, while lowering the levels of Firmicutes and Fusobacteria were lowered. Levels of acetic, butyric, and propionic acids also increased. In vitro studies have also demonstrated that beta-glucan can boost the growth of Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, and Bifidobacterium animalis lactis. In an extensive review of the health effects of beta-glucan, researchers concluded that this fiber’s actions upon the gut microflora, including enhancing the production of short-chain fatty acids, contributes to its anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and immune-modulating effects. FAQs (37:44) Taken all together, these unique properties found in no other food groups elevates mushrooms to their own food group! Serving size? Servings per week? Let’s look at the science! Servings are defined same way as veggies, 80-100g, one cup raw (a fist-sized amount) or 1/2 cup cooked. Cancer studies show highest magnitude of effect in relation to frequent mushrooms consumption. Many (but not all) CVD and T2D studies show null effect in context of SAD diet. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ijc.32591 Compared to participants with mushroom consumption

This week we talk about floral and other horticultural foams. The most commonly available foams to the floriculture, floristry and horticulture industries are phenolic or polyurethane plastic foams. Because of their lack of degradability and other issues related to the hazardous chemicals used in their production, those of us working in horticulture and floristry and floriculture should be aware of the issues. Today we chat about these foams and some of the R&D into alternatives or "improvements" to the foams (all of which is very new). Our key message is the same as that of some of the big name designers who avoid the use of floral foam: Work like it never existed! Floristry and horticulture existed way before the 1950's when these plastic foams were invented. Because of the issues related to foam toxicity, lack of degradability and full life cycle costs, we feel it is best to just avoid using them altogether. And, we should encourage our researchers and policy makers to spend money on improved organic crop production, greenhouse technology to reduce footprints, etc. , rather than spending money on alternatives to plastic products we don't really need, and which are questionably "environmentally friendly". The links or research documents we reference in this episode are: Instagram "No Floral Foam" hashtag https://www.koch.com.au/blog/to-foam-or-not-to-foam-what-is-the-question-about-no-floral-foam https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice/potential-chemical-exposures-spray-polyurethane-foam MSDS sheet for Oasis Floral Foam Link to Tobey Nelson Events Instagram Post discussing degradability of "new" floral foam from oasis Ahmad, I., Dole, J.

Depleted soil with less minerals and good bacteria Reduced food diversity and wild varieties Reduced nutrient density in vegetables Modern lifestyle depletes vitamins and minerals What to Look For in a Green Superfood https://organixx.com/organic-organigreens/ USDA Certified Organic Must have at least 50 ingredients A green drink with at least 50 ingredients will do a better job of filling those “nutritional gaps” than a green drink that has only 20 ingredients. Use advanced processing techniques: Pulp Powder vs Juice Powder Whereas “pulp powders” require 5-6 lbs of greens to create 1 lb of green drink powder, “juice powders” require as much as 33 lbs! Must contain all 5 “Nutritional Boosters” Fruit, Vegetables (including GREENS), Mushrooms, Herbs, Spices MUST taste good! If it tastes good you will stick with the habit!

This week Brendan Hines (Lie to Me, Suits, The Tick) joins the Wine Whisperer and Mademoiselle Palate to whine about televisions being everywhere.The Grape of the Week/Grapes of Thrones is Tempranillo! AKA...a lot of other names. Get the lowdown on this grape and it's spiritual home of Rioja.They also go over some of the mailbag responses. Hear what pricy wines podcast fans are sipping!Before getting into his whine, Brendan reveals the notes he took on the show's opening banter. Turns out Shaughn and Ellen are song/band name generators.Brendan gets into his whine: annoyance at televisions in public places. Shaughn and Ellen pair it with a blind tasting to envelope all their senses and tune out any televised distraction! Or noise distraction. Like former whine-er Melanie Lynskey, Brendan has misophonia.They discuss who is better at tuning things out and focusing, men or women. And as if to prove a point the guys devolve into discussing what drugs they've indulged in. Other topics covered: reading in public, eavesdropping in bars, and cashews at midnight.This blind tasting is a white wine, and this time they have the Court Masters grid to guide them! Follow along as they feel the bottle and break down wine's elements. Phenolic bitterness remains mysterious.Do they correctly guess? Tune in and find out!In a bonus round they taste another flavor of FlyWine: The Kitchen Sink. The Lightning Round covers grapes' water needs, what a rain shadow is, the thickness of Tempranillo's skin, musical keys and wine colors in respect to age!
