This episode with Dr. Pedro Bastos is a broad exploration of the role of inflammation in health and disease.  In popular media, inflammation is regularly referenced only as a process that impairs our health, but as you'll learn today, inflammation also plays an essential and beneficial role in context.  There is good inflammation and bad inflammation, and it is important to understand the difference.Dr. Bastos is a dietitian and researcher affiliated with the European University of Madrid in Spain, and Lund University in Sweden.  At Lund, he studied and collaborated with Staffan Lindeberg, the principal investigator of the famous Kitava Study.  He lectures extensively on health related topics worldwide and has co-authored influential papers such as "The Western Diet and Lifestyle and Diseases of Civilization, and "Chronic Inflammation in the etiology of disease across the lifespan", which was the most cited recent article in the influential journal, Nature Medicine. He has presented at the Ancestral Health Symposium, most recently in 2022 on a recap of the Kitava study.In this conversation, Dr. Bastos discusses the definition and function of inflammation, as well as the distinction between acute and chronic inflammation. He explains the various biomarkers used to detect inflammation and highlights their limitations. The conversation also explores the relationship between inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as the evidence supporting a connection between chronic inflammation and a range of diseases, including metabolic syndrome and autoimmune disorders. Inflammation plays a key role in various health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Chronic inflammation can both cause and be a consequence of immune processes. The Kitava study, conducted on a traditional population in Papua New Guinea, revealed that their diet, while high in carbohydrates and saturated fat, is relatively unprocessed and has characteristics that low may contribute to their lower levels of inflammation and better health outcomes. Other lifestyle factors, such as physical activity, sun exposure, sleep patterns, stress and lower exposure to pollutants, may also play a role in reducing inflammation-induced disease.  From this, Dr. Bastos discusses how our diets can be tailored to minimize inflammation, including the roles of specific nutrients.  The conversation touches on some debates around inclusion or exclusion of fiber, whole grains, dairy and alcohol. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the complexity of inflammation and the need for personalized approaches to promote optimal health.Resources:  * "Chronic Inflammation in the etiology of disease across the lifespan", Nature Medicine, 24, 1822-1832 (2019) : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-019-0675-0* "The western diet and lifestyle and diseases of civilization", Research Reports in Clinical Cardiology 201, 1:2, 15-35 (2011): https://www.dovepress.com/the-western-diet-and-lifestyle-and-diseases-of-civilization-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-RRCC-MVP * "Revisiting the Kitava study", Ancestral Health Symposium (AH22): Here is a guide to topics discussed in this podcast episode:Time     Topic00:00      Introduction and background01:33      Definition and functions of inflammation04:44      Acute vs. chronic systemic inflammation09:04      Triggers of acute vs. chronic inflammation12:25      Inflammation biomarkers - uses and limitations19:48      Inflammation and oxidative stress26:45      The role of Inflammation in chronic diseases27:17       Inflammation in metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease29:38       Inflammation in autoimmune disorders31:56       Inflammation in cancers34:04       Inflammation and cellular aging36:58       The Kitava study: Health findings47:54       The Kitava study: Dietary macronutrients, micronutrients and specific foods53:07       Inflammation in Kitavans vs. Swedish controls57:42       The role of lifestyle factors: sleep, physical activity, stress, sun exposure, sleep1:02:30    Mechanisms of stress-Induced Inflammation1:05:32    Pedro's dietary and lifestyle recommendations to control chronic Inflammation1:07:52    The importance of phytochemicals1:13:11    The question of fiber1:16:52    Grains, dairy and alcohol1:25:44    Summary and conclusions Get full access to Ancestral Health Today Substack at ancestralhealth.substack.com/subscribe

This week we talk about CAR Ts, lupus, and antigen-presenting cells.We also discuss Hashimoto's, potential cures, and allergies.Recommended Book: The Avoidable War by Kevin RuddTranscriptChimeric antigen receptors, usually shorthanded as CARs, are a type of protein structure that receives and transmits signals within biological systems.The term "CAR T cell" refers to chimeric antigen receptors that have been altered so that these structures can give T cells, which are a component of the human body's immune system, attacking stuff that our immune systems identify as being foreign or otherwise potentially harmful, it gives these T cells the ability to target specific antigens, rather than responding in a general sense to anything that seems broadly off.So while T cells are generally deployed en masse to tackle all sorts of issues all throughout our bodies all the time, CAR T cells can tell them, hey, see this specific thing? This one thing I'm pointing at? Go kill that thing. And then they do.The potential to use CAR Ts for T cell-aiming purposes started to pop up in scientific literature in the late-1980s and early-1990s, and in the mid-90s there was a clinical trial testing the theory that T cells could be guided in this way to targeted cells throughout the body that are infected with HIV.That clinical trial failed, as did tests using CAR T approaches to sic T cells on solid tumors; there just didn't seem to be enough persistence in the T cells, in their targeting, to do much good in this regard.Second-generation CARs improved upon that original model, and that led to tests with more follow-through, better focus for those guided T cells, basically, and that improved their capacity to clear solid tumors in tests.By the early 2010s, researchers were able to completely clear solid cancers from patients, leading to complete remissions in some of them, though those patients were also treated with more conventional therapies beforehand.These new approaches led to the first two FDA-approved CAR T cell treatments in the US in 2017, for a type of leukemia and a type of lymphoma.As of late-2023, there were six such treatments approved for use by the FDA, most of them leveraged only for cancer patients who didn't respond well to conventional treatments, or who continued to relapse after several rounds of cancer therapy. It's a last line of defense, at this point, in part because it's still relatively new, and in part because the current collection of CAR T therapies seem to work best when the cancers have already been weakened by other sorts of attack.What I'd like to talk about today is another potential use for this same general technology and therapy approach that, until recently, was considered to be a really pie-in-the-sky sort of dream, but which is rapidly becoming more thinkable.—There's a theory that essentially all human beings have some kind of immunodeficiency: something that our immune systems don't do well, don't do at all, or don't do in the expected, baseline way.Any one of those immunodeficiency types can result in issues throughout a person's life, ranging from a higher-than-normal susceptibility to specific infections to a tendency to accidentally target healthy cells or biota, which can then result in all sorts of secondary issues for the host of those cells or biota.One especially pernicious and increasingly common issue in this space is what's called autoimmunity, which refers to the tendency of one's immune system to attack one's own cells and tissues and organs.If these autoimmune attacks are substantial and consistent enough, they can cause a disease in the afflicted body components, and diseases caused in this way are called autoimmune diseases.You've almost certainly heard of some of the more common of these diseases:Lupus, for instance, varies in its specifics, but arises when someone's immune system attacks their skin or muscles or joint tissues or components of their nervous system, resulting in an array of problems that has earned this disease the categorization as a "great imitator" condition, because it replicates the symptoms of a slew of other diseases and disorders.Folks with celiac disease experience all sorts of gut issues, primarily centralized in the small intestine, that disallow the comfortable and healthful consumption of gluten, which is present in all sorts of foods and which, if consumed, can cause incredibly uncomfortable and painful side effects, alongside other gut-related problems.Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, as is multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Addison's disease, Grave's disease, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, in which one's immune system slowly destroys one's own thyroid, causing all sorts of problems, including, potentially, hypothyroidism and sometimes a rare type of cancer called thyroid lymphoma.All of these issues are associated with a variety of other issues beyond their initial, simplified portfolio of symptoms because our bodies are ecosystems, all the things connected to all the other things, so it's borderline impossible to tweak one thing without causing ripples throughout the rest of the system.If part of that system attacks another part of the system, then, there will be waves of long- and short-term consequences resulting from both the attack and the damage caused by the attack, so these issues, though in some cases quite mild, depending on the person who has them, can also flare-up periodically, after being triggered by something or for no apparent reason, and they can change in nature over time, perhaps seeming like nothing, flying under the radar most of our lives, until one day they pop up out of the woodwork, wreaking all sorts of havoc that can be debilitating and terrifying, especially since the person experiencing those issues generally doesn't know what's happening and may initially attribute them to something else.I actually speak with experience in that regard, as I have Hashimoto's, and only found out about it a few years ago—and it took nearly a year to figure out what was suddenly causing all sorts of health problems that seemed to arise from nowhere, but which were apparently lurking there, waiting to crest the surface of awareness, for the thirty-plus years it took me to reach that point.So autoimmune diseases are varied but stem from the same core issue of our immune systems attacking some component of the bodies they're meant to defend, and though the majority of such disordered immune system behaviors will lead to nothing, causing no damage and possibly being counteracted by some other component of our complex internal ecosystems, some cause damage leading to disease, and some of those diseases are significant and life-altering or life-threatening.About 50 million Americans have one of the more than 100 tracked autoimmune diseases, and it's estimated that something like 4% of the total human population has at least one autoimmune disease, though methods of identifying and tracking such things are imperfect, and methods for doing so vary greatly from country to country.It's long been known that women suffer from a lot more and more intense autoimmune diseases than men—about 80% of people who have autoimmune diseases are women—and the results of recent research suggest this may be because a molecule called Xist (which deactivates one of a woman's two X chromosomes, preventing the dangerous overproduction of proteins in their bodies) seems to play a role in the production of molecular complexes that are linked to a lot of the autoimmune diseases we track, those complexes triggering chemical responses that spark the cascade of other issues that then result in autoimmune problems.This is still very new science and a lot of the more thorough looks into the Xist molecule have been in mice, so far, so while some exploration of this same process has been done in humans, this is still pretty speculative right now.That said, better understanding this molecule and its triggers, and other potential, similar triggers, might someday help us bypass or reduce the influence of those chemical responses, which could in turn reduce the incidence or impact of these diseases.For the foreseeable future, though, we'll probably be plagued, on a significant scale, by autoimmune diseases. And the number of people suffering from these things seems to be going up; there's some evidence that folks are more prone to some autoimmune diseases after being infected with COVID-19, which suggests there might be a long-term infection component of these sorts of issues, with the viruses and bacteria we encounter over the course of our lives messing with our bodily functions just enough to tweak the variables that inform our autoimmune behaviors, sometimes permanently and negatively.But incidences of autoimmune disease have been on the rise for years, and there's some evidence that points at what we might call the Western Diet and its spread around the world for some of this increase, as the real uptick began about 40 years ago, when the American version of the Western Diet started to go global in a big way, and in the wake of that spread we've seen inflammatory bowel disease surge in the Middle East and Asia, along with the seeming export of Type 1 Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis across parts of the world that had never really seen them on any scale before, but which, after the installation of a bunch of McDonalds and the introduction of highly processed foods to global supermarkets, began to show up in a big way.This is also still pretty speculative, so take this with a grain of salt, and it's also worth noting that environmental variables like the food we eat is only one component of this issue, even if a more direct causal relationship could be proven: you can eat nothing but ultra processed foods and never develop and autoimmune disease, and you can eat a perfect whole foods diet and develop one; none of these seeming amplifiers are being flagged as absolute causes: this seems to be something we're prone to, regardless, and the way we live and how we eat and maybe even the microsplastics in our environments are maybe tweaking the likelihood of autoimmune predispositions becoming autoimmune issues—they're probably not sparking the potential for those issues out of whole cloth, though, based on what we currently know, at least.Whatever's causing or fanning the flames of this increase in autoimmune issues, though, a recent series of announcements is becoming more significant as those numbers increase.Therapies based on research that was initially conducted back in the early 2000s suggest that it may be possible to either kill or dampen the impact of the cells that attack our own bodies as part of an autoimmune disfunction.It was reported back in 2022 that five people suffering from a severe autoimmune disease had those diseases driven into remission by a therapy that uses CAR T cells to tell the body to attack the patient's B cells, which in the case of these patients, were the cells responsible for their lupus.So this therapy programmed some of their T cells to attack their B cells, which were causing their symptoms, including lung inflammation, fatigue, arthritis, and fibrosis of their heart valves, and those symptoms then cleared up; the attacks stopped, and so did their symptoms.Even more interesting is that once the B cells were wiped out, the ones behaving badly, the therapy was halted, their B cells populations started to tick back up because the T cells stopped attacking them, but the new B cells didn't engage in the damaging behavior—they did what they were supposed to do, rather than attacking their host.The subjects' immune systems were also tested, as the researchers didn't want solve one problem but cause another, impairing their patents' immune systems in such a way that they were then prone to all sorts of other infections.That didn't seem to be the case: their immune responses were similar to those of other people, and that led them to conclude that the reprogrammed T cells were primarily targeting the bad B cells, not wiping out the whole of their immune functionality; which was a real issue with earlier versions of this concept which were tested about five decades ago, most of which basically demolished a patients' immune system and hoped for the best, leading to unfortunately predictable and terrible outcomes.In the year or so since that initial trial was conducted, ten more people have had their severe autoimmune diseases forced into remission by this approach, and there's now hope that it might also work on other such conditions, beyond the three that it has been shown to work on, so far. There's another, related approach being tested that aims to help the body develop a better sense of self-awareness, boosting its tolerance for what it wrongly perceives to be bad stuff, so that it doesn't have such a hair-trigger for attacking things it thinks are dangerous and foreign, slowly but surely upping the cap for attack until it no longer does so, or doesn't at a level that causes diseases symptoms.One approach to achieving this outcome uses a synthetic versions of what're called antigen-presenting cells, which pop around our bodies picking up little bits of antigens—which are detritus like chemicals and bacteria and pollen and so on, stuff that isn't part of us—and then they meet up with our T cells and tell them which of these things should be attacked, and which should be ignored because they're safe.The synthetic version of this system sends in nanoparticle replications of these antigen-presenting cells, using them to flag the stuff that's being errantly attacked as good, changing the T cells' opinion of those things over time, basically, but it's also possible to achieve something of the same by manipulating how the natural antigen-presenting cells operate.It may also be possible to use these signifiers to tell the T cells to attack the B cells, in the case of wanting to help folks with certain types of lupus, for instance, accomplishing what those other therapies accomplish but via different, less-invasive and more straightforward means.What we're seeing right now, then, is a change in how we think about autoimmune diseases and what causes them, and we're taking recent research and understandings about the mechanisms of how this stuff functions and trying to decide how best to recalibrate and even hijack those mechanisms to correct for issues in the system; the idea being to tweak one small thing, perhaps just once, and to consequently permanently change how the system functions in favor of healthier, happier outcomes.We are still at the beginning stages of this, but the pace at which these sorts of therapies are being developed and moved to clinical trials is heartening.It's possible that at some point in the next decade or two we could see commonly available treatments for things like lupus and Hashimoto's, which would be great, in my 100% biased opinion, but also for related issues like allergic reactions, which would make use of the same general theory and process to tell our immune systems not to freak out when they're exposed to, for instance, peanut proteins or pollen, changing the lives of even more people, as long as we can figure out how best to consistently and safely administer these therapies to folks who currently suffer from such things.Show Noteshttps://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(08)00624-7https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2018.02359/fullhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMc2107725https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1142963https://www.nature.com/articles/s41584-023-00964-yhttps://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/jan/08/global-spread-of-autoimmune-disease-blamed-on-western-diethttps://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2024/02/01/why-women-have-more-autoimmune-diseases/https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/autoimmunity-has-reached-epidemic-levels-we-need-urgent-action-to-address-it/https://archive.ph/0outqhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00169-7https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25277817/https://www.theguardian.com/science/2022/sep/15/scientists-hail-autoimmune-disease-therapy-breakthrough-car-t-cell-lupushttps://www.biopharmadive.com/news/crispr-cancer-cell-therapy-autoimmune-lupus/701528/https://www.wsoctv.com/news/trending/fda-issues-warning-secondary-cancer-risk-linked-car-t-therapies/RPAPN44ZCRFWFOROZOZLG2ZKG4/https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/research/car-t-cellshttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/23/health/fda-cancer-car-t-warning.htmlhttps://phys.org/news/2024-01-nanoparticles-anaphylaxis-side-effects-mouse.htmlhttps://hillman.upmc.com/mario-lemieux-center/treatment/car-t-cell-therapy/fda-approved-therapieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAR_T_cellhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_CAR_T_cell_deliveryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_adoptive_immunotherapy#Chimeric_Antigen_Receptor_(CAR)_T_Cell_Therapy This is a public episode.

J., Subramanian, K. S., Gu, C., Tanios, N., Ahuja, A., Donohue, K. N., Decarie-Spain, L., Fodor, A. A., Kanoski, S. E. Abstract: Western diet (WD) consumption during development yields long-lasting memory impairments, yet the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain elusive. Here we developed an early life WD rodent model to evaluate whether dysregulated hippocampus (HPC) acetylcholine (ACh) signaling, a pathology associated with memory impairment in human dementia, is causally-related to WD-induced cognitive impairment. Rats received a cafeteria-style WD (access to various high-fat/high-sugar foods; CAF) or healthy chow (CTL) during the juvenile and adolescent periods (postnatal days 26-56). Behavioral, metabolic, and microbiome assessments were performed both before and after a 30-day healthy diet intervention beginning at early adulthood. Results revealed CAF-induced HPC-dependent contextual episodic memory impairments that persisted despite healthy diet intervention, whereas CAF was not associated with long-term changes in body weight, body composition, glucose tolerance, anxiety-like behavior, or gut microbiome. HPC immunoblot analyses after the healthy diet intervention identified reduced levels of vesicular ACh transporter in CAF vs. CTL rats, indicative of chronically reduced HPC ACh tone. To determine whether these changes were functionally related to memory impairments, we evaluated temporal HPC ACh binding via ACh-sensing fluorescent reporter in vivo fiber photometry during memory testing, as well as whether the memory impairments could be rescued pharmacologically. Results revealed dynamic HPC ACh binding during object-contextual novelty recognition was highly predictive of memory performance and was disrupted in CAF vs. CTL rats. Further, HPC alpha-7 nicotinic receptor agonist infusion during consolidation rescued memory deficits in CAF rats. Overall, these findings identify dysregulated HPC ACh signaling as a mechanism underlying early life WD-associated memory impairments. Copy rights belong to original authors.

The WESTERN DIET is killing our bodies, energy levels, & even our ability to reproduce children. In 2022, there will be an estimated 1.9 million NEW CANCER cases diagnosed and 609,360 cancer deaths in the United States. Our next guest Dr. John M. Poothullil believes that if we can control our diet we can prevent or reverse many conditions that destroy our health such as OBESITY, HIGH BLOOD SUGAR leading to Type 2 diabetes, and even CANCER. No one understands this more than Dr. John, as 11 years ago he was surprisingly diagnosed with cancer. Dr. John M. Poothullil has devoted 20 years to studying diabetes and cancer and has written 5 books, all available on Amazon and in many bookstores. His articles have been published in medical journals such as Physiology and Behavior, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, Journal of Women's Health, Journal of Applied Research, Nutrition, and Nutritional Neuroscience. We know training our mind is key, but fueling our body the right way is just as important. Listen to my interview with Dr. John Poothullil on Why Cancer Happens & Key Strategies For A Healthy Life.

Now y'all know Western culture has the worst diet in the whole world, besides a Third World country …

The first time you sit down for a meal at the McDougall Health and Medical Center in Santa Rosa, California, be prepared for a shock. You'll be surprised at what's on the table, and what's not. Dr. McDougall himself explains.

Half The People On The Western Diet Are Prediabetic John A. McDougall, M.D. •           http://www.drmcdougall.com•           Book - The Starch Solution: Eat the Foods You Love, Regain Your Health, and Lose the Weight for Good! John A. McDougall, M.D. a physician and nutrition expert who teaches better health through vegetarian cuisine, John A. McDougall, MD has been studying, writing, and speaking out about the effects of nutrition on disease for over 50 years. Dr. John and Mary McDougall believe that people should look and feel great for a lifetime. Unfortunately, many people unknowingly compromise their health through poor dietary habits. Dr. McDougall is the founder and director of the nationally renowned McDougall Program: a ten-day residential program that he and Mary McDougall host at a luxury resort in Santa Rosa, CA where medical miracles occur through diet and lifestyle changes.

Healthy Mind for Happy Running Introduction Exercise and nutrition are known to play a role in developing and altering brain function and studies have shown that both exercise and nutrition could affect mind/mood and cognition positively and negatively. So, we: Outline some mind/mood symptoms runners may experience and why Discuss foods/nutrients that may induce negative or promote positive mood and mindset in runners Create a one-day meal plan you may wish to consider for a healthy mind and happy running SHOW NOTES (06:56) Discussing the positive endorphin effects of moderate running before moving on to outline the potential negative psychological effects of intense and/or prolonged running (10:51) Considering the potential drivers of detrimental mind/mood symptoms associated with endurance or intense running.   (19:37) FEMALE FACTORS 1) The strain of mental health (and behavioural disorders) is estimated to account for more years of lived disability than any other chronic health ailment. From data collected between 2007 to 2017 the global proportion of disability-adjusted life years caused by mental ill-health has increased from:  • Males: 12.7% to 14%  • Females: 13.6% to 14.4% So, from these statistics, the years lived with mental ill health has increased for both men and women, however it would appear women are at increased risk of developing mental health issues besides men.  2) Female *obligatory (obsessive) runners are most at risk of eating pathophysiology than their male counterparts or non-obsessive runners 3) Commitment to running can occur without addiction in female runners but not in males NOTE: * Obligatory runners - obsessive runners who sacrifice commitments and relationships for running and suffer withdrawal symptoms if they miss a run  (24:38) Highlighting potential dietary lifestyles that may enhance mental wellbeing or possibly be a driver of poor mind/mood and cognition symptoms with a focus on the common Western Diet and the Traditional Mediterranean Diet.  (35:39) Exploring foods/meals to support positive mental wellbeing therefore enhance running performance Foods discussed include: Eggs, legumes, fermented foods, and a variety of vegetables.   (43:53) KEY TAKEAWAYS Moderate running is known to be a therapeutic tool for different negative psychological conditions, such as: depression, anxiety, tension, mood changes and low self esteem  However intense and/or prolonged running may lead to detrimental mind/mood symptoms in some people Our diet can also affect our emotions and cognitive function in a positive or detrimental way with the common Western Diet leading to low mood/cognition and the Mediterranean diet encouraging positive emotions and mindset A compromised immune system and a poor gut microbiome are thought to be the key drivers of low mood/cognition due to their influence on inflammation As well as affecting us physically, inflammation is known to affect: Energy, Sleep and Motivation….amongst other things Increasing intake of whole foods and following a traditional Mediterranean diet has been found to diminish many emotional/psychological symptoms such as low mood/depression/anxiety RELATED EPISODES: https://she-runs-eats-performs.captivate.fm/episode/Eat-Sleep-Run (Eat Sleep Run) https://she-runs-eats-performs.captivate.fm/episode/food-for-gut-healing (Food for Gut Healing) https://she-runs-eats-performs.captivate.fm/episode/endurance-running-and-immune-system (Endurance Running and the Immune System) Disclaimer: The suggestions we make during this episode are for guidance and advice only, and are not a substitute for medical advice or treatment.

Vielleicht hast du es herausgehört, letzte Woche habe ich es hier im Podcast angekündigt, denn wir werden in dieser Folge über das Thema Ernährung sprechen und dafür habe ich mir kompetente Hilfe geholt: Ich spreche mit meiner lieben Freundin Ele darüber, auf wie vielen Ebenen eine gesunde Ernährung für uns arbeitet und wirkt. Ich hatte mehrere AHA Erlebnisse und bin seit unserem Gespräch nochmal ganz anders und bewusst im Alltag und beim Kochen dabei und in der Auseinandersetzung mit mir selbst.   Wir sprechen zusammen über Mikronährstoffe und Makronährstoffe, darüber wie wir bzw. wie unser Körper diese gut aufnehmen kann, worauf wir dabei achten müssen und was für Auswirkungen diese auf unsere psychische und körperliche Gesundheit haben. Es geht um die Western Diet, die Mediterranean Diet, um Nachhaltigkeit und Fair-Trade, um Biosiegel und warum dann Bio doch nicht gleich Bio ist und wie bei dem Ganzen auf unerwünschte Schadstoffe geachtet werden kann. Es gibt Kochtipps, Verarbeitungstipps und ganz viel gute Vibes!   Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß mit dieser schönen Podcastfolge und ihr dürft gerne kommentieren und schreiben, wenn euch die Folge gut gefallen hat, ich werde es mit Ele teilen. Und über eine schöne Rezension bei Itunes oder Spotify freue ich mich sehr! Weitere Informationen findest du auf: www.karlajohannaschaeffer.com

In this episode we discuss obesity.  The US is currently experiencing an epidemic of obesity, with over 40% of Americans grappling with this problem.  But what is driving this obesity epidemic?  Is it our Western Diet?  Our sedentary lifestyles?  Can obesity even be prevented or is it simply a matter of genetics?  Can we overcome obesity?  What has actually been shown to work?  Diet? Exercise? Medications? And to what extent is obesity an expected outcome of the onslaught of food marketing vying for our attention every day from print, TV, and, of course, social media?  In order to answer these questions and many more we turned to a true expert.  Dr. Travis Masterson is the director of the Health, Ingestive Behavior, and Technology Lab (HIT Lab) at Penn State University where he is an Assistant Professor in the Nutrition department. Dr.  Masterson earned his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in exercise science from Brigham Young University and the completed his PhD in Nutritional Sciences at Penn State University.  He then served as a research fellow at Dartmouth University before returning to Penn State where his research focuses on environmental food cues and their effect on eating behavior.  Dr. Masterson has written over 40 scientific manuscripts. He is also a spokesperson for the Obesity Society.

Join us today, learn all about how the western diet is making us unhappy, unhealthy, and weak. Dr Robert Lustig is a pioneer and advocate, author of "Fat Chance" and "Metabolical". You can learn more at his website and links below.Addicted to the western diet.Dr Lustig discusses on the podcast that certain foods — “hyperpalatable foods” — particularly processed foods that are high in sugar, salt and fat can be addictive.  Food addiction is still a controversial concept in the scientific community. But researchers find strong evidence that certain foods can trigger binging, craving and withdrawal, responses that are similar to those produced by addictive substances like alcohol, cocaine and tobacco.Dr Lustig discusses that "Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for about 50% of the global disease burden and some 75% of total health-care spending. The role of processed foods in these chronic conditions is undisputed; every country that adopts the high-fat, high-sugar “Western pattern diet” is plagued by the same diseases and costs. But the big question for health professionals is whether the quantity or the quality of foods is to blame. This is an important distinction, because quantity is determined by the user, while quality is determined by the industry.Some health experts argue that specific components of processed foods – in particular, sugar – are as addictive as cocaine and heroin. For example, sugar is consistently the ingredient with the highest score on the Yale Food Addiction Scale, which measures people's food cravings.Not everyone who is exposed to sugar becomes addicted; but, as with alcohol, many do. While refined sugar is the same compound found in fruit, it lacks fiber and has been crystallized for purity. It is this process that turns sugar from a “food” into a “drug,” allowing the food industry to “hook” unsuspecting consumers. The evidence is visible in every aisle of every grocery store, where a staggering 74% of all food items are spiked with added sugar. In fact, sugar's allure is a big reason why the processed food industry's current profit margin is 5% (up from 1%), and why so many of us are sick, fat, stupid, broke, depressed, and just plain miserable".Dr. Robert Lustig is Professor of Pediatric Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Lustig has become a leading public health authority on the impact sugar has on fueling the diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome epidemics, and on addressing changes in the food environment to reverse these chronic diseases.In his New York Times best selling book Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processes Food, Obesity, and Disease, Robert documents both the science and the politics that have led to the current pandemic of obesity and chronic disease. In the Fat Chance Cookbook, Robert provides practical examples for applying healthy eating principles with recipes by Cindy Gershen.Dr. Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist, with basic and clinical training relative to hypothalamic development, anatomy, and function.

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. In this episode, Leah and Holly Jean discuss contributing factors of autoimmune disease. For decades, doctors and researchers believed that autoimmune conditions were genetic, or hereditary, and even a normal side effect of the aging process. But as conditions are rising at alarming rates and the age of diagnosis is getting younger and younger, researchers are asking questions and exploring the reasons for autoimmune onset. We take a look at nutrition and lifestyle factors in this episode and discuss whether or not the western diet is to blame. If nutrition and diet play a role in developing autoimmune disease, is it possible to use therapeutic diets to reverse symptoms and diagnosis? We explore all this and more, in this episode!

We're digging into how to move from the Standard American/Western Diet to a healthy diet for your fertility. Let's face it, eating a diet that is right for our fertility is confusing. Whether it's fertility superfoods, generalized recommendations about what to eat or avoid for optimized fertility… we may not know where to start. However, we all know that eating packaged processed foods is not healthy for anyone – especially if we are trying to conceive. Changing to a healthy preconception diet is not about deprivation or eating food that tastes like cardboard. It's about finding the most nutrient-dense foods that actually taste good so that you can prepare for a successful pregnancy. And it's not a “diet” – it's a lifestyle change that literally is life-changing – our clients tell us so! You have your WHY, so let's get started.   I'm excited to welcome Justine Altman back to the podcast. Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility... your body is desperately trying to tell you something... focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success. Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with PCOS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally.   In this episode you'll learn: 1) How to make the change from the standard western diet to the healthy fertility diet/lifestyle 2) How to set your intention so you stay committed. These changes may be simple but they are not easy. 3) How to keep it simple without spending hours in the kitchen cooking. 4) What to look for on labels so you don't eat the wrong foods. 5) What to do about emotional eating. How to deal with excuses or lack of motivation 6) Why it's important to include your partner in the changes --- Highlights 5:53 WELCOME JUSTINE ALTMAN 7:07 MY BACKGROUND GROWING UP IN A HEALTHY FOOD HOUSEHOLD As my friend sat and ate her honey sandwich and Chef Boyardee I was like, give me that. 9:27 JUSTINE'S CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE WITH JUNK FOOD What I thought was making dinner was making a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese or going to pick up McDonald's. 11:17 HOW TO START TRANSITIONING TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE How you ease into it is really different from person to personThe most important thing is to eliminate the foods that cause inflammation.

In 2018, the World Health Organization said the prevalence of a cancer diagnosis reached 18.1 million people – with 9.6 million cancer deaths.  Positive lifestyle – such as exercise and diet – reduce the risk to certain forms of cancer. Adherence to a Mediterranean-style eating strategy – higher intake of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, limited lean meat, fish, and olive oil - reduces the risk to colon and breast cancer.Research is still searching for the optimum plan once an individual is diagnosed with cancer. According to "The Facts About Food After Cancer Diagnosis: A Systematic Review of Prospective Cohort Studies," which appeared in the August 2020 issue of the online, peer reviewed journal Nutrients, “to prevent malnutrition, energy and protein requirements for cancer patients are largely widespread by international guidelines, but little is known about the food choices and dietary regimen a cancer patient should benefit from.”The Italian study researchers point out that, “many ‘cancer diets' are often restrictive, avoiding a whole nutrient class (i.e., meat or dairy products) in the misleading belief that certain foods “feed the tumor.” The Italians sought to determine any possible associations between diet patterns, after a cancer patient's diagnosis, that is affected by a solid tumor, relative to outcomes – mortality, cancer progression, and recurrence.Those study criteria included a meta-analyses (similar studies) that used an adult population over 18 years of age diagnosed with breast, gastrointestinal, gynecological, lung, and urological cancers; post-diagnosis dietary patterns – such as consumption of fruit, vegetables, diary, meat, fish, and cereals; prospective or retrospective cohort studies; over-all survival, all-cause mortality, cancer-specific mortality, death from a non-cancer cause, cancer progression, disease-free survival, cancer recurrence, and recurrence-free survival.The study authors determined that, “the overall results of this systematic review highlight that none of the food categories should be eliminated by cancer patients. Especially, there is no clear association between consumption of meat or animal products and cancer progression/recurrence or CSM (cancer specific survival), after a cancer diagnosis.”However, the Italians also emphasized there was, “a significant positive association between detrimental dietary patterns, such as Western-type Diet (characterized by processed meats, sugar-sweetened soft drinks, and refined grains) and cancer progression.”Note the investigators, “on the contrary, high consumption of fiber, such as whole grain cereals, green and cruciferous vegetables, seem to be protective against cancer progression and mortality.”In conclusion, “detrimental dietary patterns, such as the Western Diet and the high consumption of some food categories (saturated/trans fats, high-fat dairy products) could worsen prognostic outcomes in breast, colorectal and prostate cancer patients. Nevertheless, animal proteins, such as fish, poultry, low-fat dairy products and meat, should not be excluded from cancer patient's diet.”More research is needed relative to a cancer post-diagnostic diet, as it applies to the most common forms of cancer – lung, stomach, gynecological, bladder, and pancreatic cancer.For more information, go to maxwellnutrition.com.

 CF 186: Western Diet Hurts and Acupuncture Today we're going to talk about new research based on chronic pain and our regular Western diet. Then we discuss  But first, here's that sweet sweet bumper music Purchase Dr. Williams's book, a perfect educational tool and chiropractic research reference for the daily practitioner, from the Amazon store... The post Western Diet Hurts and Acupuncture appeared first on Chiropractic Forward.

Every minute of every day, you and I are getting older. Have you ever wondered what causes your body to age? Well there's been a lot of research into that and there are some very simple things you can do – to slow down that process. Interested?   Eat Healthy, Be Healthy You and I have been given such an amazing body, and it's the only body that we'll ever get. It's been wonderfully, exquisitely, uniquely handcrafted and yet so many of us are abusing it into an early grave. All because of what we're putting into our mouths. You are what you eat – literally. Way to many people are contracting diseases that, just a century ago were rare as hens teeth. As we saw last week on the program, cardio-vascular disease was almost unknown in the early 20th century. Today, the World Health Organisation estimates that through heart attack and stroke, cardio-vascular disease kills 16.7 million people every year. That's one third of all deaths worldwide. And please don't think that this is all coming from wealthy countries. Two thirds of those deaths are coming from low and middle-income nations. There's probably not a one of us who doesn't know someone who's had a heart attack or a stroke. Well, if we had been having this discussion back in 1901, almost none of us would have known anyone who'd had a heart attack or a stroke. And yet by 2020, the World Health organisation estimates that there will be around 25 million cardio-vascular disease deaths worldwide. It's on the increase. It's the same with cancer, same with diabetes, same with obesity. People we are eating ourselves into an early grave. And the more research that comes out, the more it all points to the so-called Western Diet. I believe, I know that God gave you and me the most amazing bodies, and the reason we're dedicating a few weeks to talking about this stuff on this program, is because I want to help you avoid becoming a victim of your western diet influences. The thing that sets the western diet apart as we've seen if you've been able to join me, is not it's fat content – there are plenty of instances of traditional diets high in animal fats where the people have a zero rate of cardio-vascular disease, diabetes and obesity – the thing that sets it apart is the high content of processed and refined carbohydrates. Sugar: there's sugar in just about every processed food you buy in the supermarket, white flour, white rice. Sweet drinks, sweet sauces, sweet cereals, sweet just about everything. Last week I shared with you that my top secret for losing 25 kgs (that's 55 lbs)  that's a lot of weight, was simply removing refined carbohydrates from my diet. I just want to talk about that a bit more today, because people are shocked. Some think I'm crazy. Others put it down to another fad diet thing. I told someone about it recently, and they said, ‘but aren't you hungry?' We are so conditioned to believe that refined carbohydrates are a normal part of a healthy diet. But they're simply not! If you turn the clock back a century – back to the days when cardio-vascular disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, obesity and a string of other diseases (which today are pandemics on the increase) were almost completely unknown – the one thing that stands out like a sore thumb, is that refined carbohydrates were a complete rarity in people's diets. People want to know, ‘Well, Berni, if you don't eat bread and cereal and tomato sauce and cakes and biscuits and chips and stuff, what in goodness' name do you eat?' That's the question I'd like to answer for you today, as I sit here with my blood pressure normal, my blood sugar normal, my triglycerides and bad cholesterol low, my good cholesterol high. I wish I could have invited you to dinner last night. It was awesome. My wife Jacqui cooked a roast vegetable salad while I grilled some tandoori chicken on the BBQ. The salad was stunning. She cut up zucchinis, peppers or capsicums, mushrooms, baby tomatoes, onions, beans (I actually can't remember all the veggies that were there) and drizzled them with healthy olive oil and roasted them for half an hour in the oven. Preparation time – about 10 minutes. We then tossed the roasted veggies in a bit of vinegar, added a little salt and pepper and served them up warm with the tandoori chicken that I'd cooked. What was missing was any sauce with sugar in it. What was missing was roast potatoes or white rice or white pasta that would spike your blood sugar level and produce nasty triglycerides in your blood. But do you know, those veggies contained all the carbohydrates my body needs. I had a stack of them too; they tasted exquisite. The meal contained mostly carbs, some protein and some fat – the way a meal is meant to – only the carbohydrates were tucked away inside a whole bunch of natural fibre, which made them slower to digest. Meaning I wouldn't get hungry for a long time, and my blood sugar wouldn't spike. That's how people ate back at the beginning of the 20th century. In fact that's how they've been eating for millennia – plenty of unrefined carbs, unrefined grains which are slow to digest, with plenty of fat – animal fat included and plenty of protein. If we had the courage to turn the clock back 150 years on our diet, to a time when obesity, diabetes and cardio-vascular disease were virtually non existent, what we'd doubtless discover, is that many of the diseases that are the products of the 20th and 21st century western diet would go away. And the exciting thing is that the food is fantastic. My biggest insight? Vegetables rock. Animal fat, rather than increasing my cholesterol levels, actually keeps your blood sugar under control, keeps your appetite under control, and doesn't make you fat. The research is done. The studies are in. And I'm walking proof. There is so much fantastic, natural food out there, and if we were prepared to go for it what we would discover is a whole new food sensation, a healthier body, a body that ages much more slowly, a body that is mentally and physically sharper and far less prone to 20th century diseases. Are you serious about looking after that one body you've been given? Really? So, what are you going to do about it? You are what you eat.   Slowing Down the Ageing Process Now that I'm in my mid fifties, I've been doing a lot of reading and research about is the process of ageing. What I've observed is that you can take two people of the same age, and one looks much younger than the other. A smoker will often look much older than a non–smoker of the same age. A person who is significantly overweight will often behave much older as their leg and hip joints struggle with the weight, than a person who is not overweight. I see people who are my age using walking sticks, or hobbling, or finding it hard to get up out of a chair. Is that a random process, or is it something to do with the lifestyle that we lead? Does the process of ageing strike according only to the programming in our DNA, or are there environmental factors that influence ageing? In other words, is there something that you and I can do – in how we live – to slow down the ageing process. That's not a new thought, there's a lot of research going on in this area as our population ages. There are a few different theories of ageing. The most widely accepted one in the medical community is the free radical theory of ageing. You've probably heard of free radicals, but, much like me before I became interested in the ageing process, you haven't paid much attention to them. In a nutshell, the free radical theory of ageing goes like this: Many of the activities of life produce free radicals in our body – these are unstable molecules in search of a spare electron – we won't go too much into the molecular science here, or we'll be at it all day. Heavy exercise produces free radicals. Pollution produces free radicals. And these free radicals are unstable and highly reactive, looking to soak up a free electron from anywhere. Now, every cell in your body needs oxygen to survive – to create energy. Without it, you die. In your cells, energy is produced by tiny structures called mitochondria. It's a complex process, but think of the mitochondria as the power plant in each cell. The process involves free radicals. Most of them are contained, but some of them escape, a bit like some of the muck that comes out of the exhaust of a car. As soon as the free radical escapes, it's out there looking for a spare electron. And when it finds one to grab, the molecule that donated it now becomes an unstable free radical. And those free radicals do all sorts of horrible things in your body if they go unchecked, they create a chain reaction of molecular instability. A researcher in this field Dr Harman puts it this way: It is likely that the life span of an individual is primarily determined by the rate of mitochondria damage, inflicted at an increasing rate with age by free radicals arising in the mitochondria, in the course of normal respiration. Eventually as your mitochondria become less efficient from the accumulate free radicals, a vicious cycle begins. You produce more and more superoxide radicles and have less and less defence against them. Finally your body's various defence mechanisms are overwhelmed. This is exacerbated by very heavy exercise, by smoking, by pollutants and they tell us, by a diet rich in refined carbohydrates. That could explain for instance, why smokers often appear to be much older than their non–smoking peers. But here's the good news: this whole destructive process of free radicals is counteracted by things called antioxidants. Think of the effect of free radicals as the process of oxidising or rusting your body. Anti–oxidants are substances that have free electrons to give away, to stabilise free radicals, to bring your whole system into balance. Where do you get them? From foods rich in antioxidants, namely fruit and vegetables. In fact the brighter the colour of the fruit or vegetable, mostly the richer they are in antioxidants. Broccoli, spinach, berries, red and green and yellow capsicums or peppers, the brighter the better. An antioxidant is simply a substance that quenches a free radical by donating an electron, thereby ending the free radical chain of events that destroys mitochondria, and causes the body to age, and eventually to die. There's a very, very, very good reason why they keep telling us to eat lots of vegetables and fruits – because they're healthy for us and – this is how they contribute to our health (as well as the vita nutrients that they pump into our bodies). Contrast that with a diet high in refined carbohydrates which creates an over supply of insulin – hyperinsulinism it's called – to deal with all the sugars you're pumping into your body. And as one researcher put it, hyperinsulinism puts you in the ageing express lane. Agree with him or not, Dr Robert Atkins puts the whole thing in perspective as he writes this about the historical context of our diets: No human civilisation ever, has consumed a preponderance of carbohydrates in the form of refined products with most of their original vita-nutrient content discarded, until the 20th century westernised diet became prevalent. Eat your fruit and veggies – which by the way are stunning – and ditch the refined carbohydrates, and in one fell swoop you're introducing the antioxidants you need to slow the ageing process, and removing the greatest single cause of putting people into the ageing fast lane. That's it in a nutshell. God has a mighty plan for your life, but that plan can't and won't be fulfilled if you prematurely destroy the precious body that He's given you. Listen again to the Apostle Paul and what he says about this body you've been given: Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) And what we've been talking about, actually, is exactly what our parents told us around the table – eat your vegetables. It ain't rocket science, is it?   The Impact of Exercise Now if you were able to join me last week, you'll know that in this whole healthy living series, we had a bit of a chat about exercise. But if you heard that message, don't tune out, because we're going to circle back and pick up something important that could change your life. I know that there are some people listening today who don't have easy access to motorised transport but way too many people are living a sedentary existence. Sitting in front of computer screens all day –rarely walking anywhere, let alone working up a sweat. I'm like that and so, for much of my adult life, I did almost no exercise whatsoever. And the less exercise you do, the less you want to do. Deep down, I knew that my sedentary life style wasn't exactly making me healthy. When you added to that a diet high in refined carbohydrates, sugars and the like, I was heading for diabetes and cardio-vascular disease. I was an absolute Monty for a heart attack or stroke. My father died of complications related to Type II Diabetes – and it seemed that I was walking in his footsteps. Did you know that single biggest statistical indicator of an impending heart attack isn't your blood triglyceride or cholesterol levels – it's a lack of exercise. Inactive men for instance have nearly four times the risk of developing diabetes compared with just moderately physically active men. Active lifestyle by the way is also linked with significantly reduced cancer risk. And exercise is the key factor – THE KEY FACTOR – in preventing disability as you age. People who exercise regularly have a substantially lower risk of becoming disabled later in life. In fact the research clearly demonstrates that disability is not an inevitable part of aging. It can easily be defied by moderate physical activity, starting … now! It's also a key overall factor in your longevity of life. Are you getting the picture here? Am I making you feel uncomfortable by being that direct about all of this? Oh good. That's what's meant to be happening, if you're one of the people who is where I used to be. I want it to sink in that you are cruising towards a certain early demise – if not immediate death, then an unhealthy, uncomfortable life. Now so far in this series I've talked a lot about dietary choices and the impact of those choices on our health, our wellbeing and our lifespans. But now I want to tell you some things that are going to get you motivated to start introducing deliberate exercise into your routine. Three simple things to get you moving off your backside. Here's the first one: Some exercise is better than no exercise. Let me say it again, some exercise is better than no exercise. And you would be surprised at how low a level of exercise starts to reduce your risks around cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Are you ready? A brisk walk for a half-an-hour at least three times a week will significantly improve your health outcomes. Every day or most days is better. But just three half-hour walks at whatever constitutes a brisk pace for you, is all it takes. I know, I know – you don't have time right? You have a long commute. You have kids to worry about. You work long hours. I know all of the excuses cause I used to use them all. Remember to tell them all to your cardiologist when you're lying on the stretcher in the emergency ward, trying to live through your heart attack would you? At some point we all need to come to grips with how utterly ridiculous the “I don't have time” excuse really is. If you don't have time to exercise, then you'd better get your affairs in order, because you'll be making time to be sick … or dead. Here's the second simple thing that is going to get you moving – learn to exercise your options. We don't all like the same thing. I absolutely love walking. You may not. Okay then, choose something that you do enjoy. Some people love to get on a treadmill and watch TV or listen to music or a podcast. A guy I used to work with Ron, he's retired now, he loved swimming in the mornings and now, in his mid seventies, owns a sheep farm and is a fit as a fiddle. There are so many options and most of them are free. Just pick one – the one you like, the one you enjoy – and do some moderate levels of exercise. There is never a time where I am telling you to become a marathon runner. In fact, there's a lot of evidence that very heavy exercise creates lots of free radicals, reduces your immune response, and can impact severely on your bones and joints, particularly as you get older. Moderate exercise at a brisk pace, three, four or five times a week for a half-an-hour is all we're talking about. And here's the third great bit of news: when you exercise moderately you're going to change your dietary choices almost automatically. Why? There's a simple psychology that when you invest the time and energy in a bit of exercise, you're not going to want to undo it all by shoving a packet of crisps or a bar of chocolate down your gullet. And really, I found that the positive reinforcement of moderate exercise really helped me change my dietary behaviour that contributed significantly to weight loss. Doesn't matter what age you're at, what fitness level you're at, it is never too late so start with some moderate exercise. And the wonderful thing about the amazing body that your God has given you is that it will guide you as to what is the right level of exercise. Starting off with something that works for you is absolutely the right thing to do – and little by little, as your fitness levels improve and your dietary levels change, you end up feeling so much better. Yesterday afternoon I went down to the local gym that I'm a member of (which is in itself a miracle) and ran and walked 6 km in 45 minutes, worked up a sweat, pumped some iron, and came out feeling fantastic. That is such a long way from the days when I was grossly overweight … it all started with the first step. Remember – some exercise is better than no exercise. And your life depends on it.

The dietary pattern that characterizes the Western diet is strongly associated with obesity and related metabolic diseases, but biological mechanisms supporting these associations remain largely unknown. We argue that the Western diet promotes inflammation that arises from both structural and behavioral changes in the resident microbiome. The environment created in the gut by ultra-processed foods, a hallmark of the Western diet, is an evolutionarily unique selection ground for microbes that can promote diverse forms of inflammatory disease. Recognizing the importance of the microbiome in the development of diet-related disease has implications for future research, public dietary advice as well as food production practices. Research into food patterns suggests that whole foods are a common denominator of diets associated with a low level of diet-related disease. Hence, by studying how ultra-processing changes the properties of whole foods and how these foods affect the gut microbiome, more useful dietary guidelines can be made. Innovations in food production should be focusing on enabling health in the super-organism of man and microbe, and stronger regulation of potentially hazardous components of food products is warranted. Ultra-Processed Foods as Drivers of Diet-Related Disease Factors that Promote Inflammation through Diet-Microbiome-Host Interactions Acellular Nutrients—A Major Shift in Our Diets Food Additives Solutions Probiotic or fermented foods could contain beneficial bacterial molecules left in the foods during fermentation. Studies have shown beneficial effects of fermented milk products on metabolic markers in mice [74,75,76], also independently of the presence of live probiotic bacteria, either in the product or in the gut of the recipient [77]. It has been demonstrated in vitro that metabolites from probiotic bacteria are capable of reducing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines A large body of research now supports the hypothesis that the Western Diet is causing changes in gut microbiota associated with obesity and metabolic disease [67]. There also seems to be consensus that fixing the diet-induced dysbiosis is a possible approach in fighting the obesity epidemic [108]. Several researchers speak of the promising potential of gut microbiota-modifying therapies, such as probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics or fecal microbiota transplants and the need for more research into these topics

Justine Altman joins us today as we’re digging into how to move from the Standard American/Western Diet to a healthy diet for your fertility. Let’s face it eating a diet that is right for our fertility is confusing. Whether it’s fertility superfoods, generalized recommendations about what to eat or avoid for optimized fertility…we may not know where to start. However, we all know that eating packaged processed foods is not healthy for anyone – especially if we are trying to conceive. Changing to a healthy preconception diet is not about deprivation or eating food that tastes like cardboard. It’s about finding the most nutrient-dense foods that actually taste good so that you can prepare for a successful pregnancy. And it’s not a “diet” – it’s a lifestyle change that literally is life-changing – our clients tell us so! You have your WHY, so let’s get started. I'm excited to welcome Justine Altman back to the podcast. Justine is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet, and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success. Justine is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. She was diagnosed with POCS and struggled with infertility but after taking a functional approach was able to have both her children naturally. In this episode you'll learn: 1) How to make the change from the standard western diet to the healthy fertility diet/lifestyle 2) How to set your intention so you stay committed. These changes may be simple but they are not easy. 3) How to keep it simple without spending hours in the kitchen cooking. 4) What to look for on labels so you don’t eat the wrong foods. 5) What to do about emotional eating. How to deal with excuses or lack of motivation 6) Why it’s important to include your partner in the changes Excited that our LIVE Fertility Diet Challenge is launching on April 19th. You'll receive newly designed chef-prepared recipes (perfect for spring and curated to optimize fertility). There will be daily motivation, guidance, and support from the Fab Fertile Team.

Tell me what your diet’s like and I can tell you where your health is headed. One of the largest determinants of health is what you put in your mouth day after day, year after year. It’s more predictive than genetics, and it’s something you can control. Today I will talk to you about the Western Diet, it’s catastrophic health impacts, how it compares to the ancestral, Paleolithic diet, and what you can do to change your future by changing your diet.   Resources talked about in this episode Blog mentioned - Food Matters Blog mentioned - Dr. Neustadt’s 3 Steps to Eating Healthy For Life Blog mentioned - Change Your Biochemistry to Change Your Health Blog mentioned - How to Choose the Right  Blog mentioned - Cooking Oil

In this 3rd episode of The Kurang Manis Podcast, we meet Dr. Pran Yoganathan, a gastroenterologist and hepatologist based in Sydney. A passionate educator, a Mathematician-turned doctor who has lived in Sri Lanka, Africa, New Zealand and Australia, Dr. Pran wants to put the power in his patients' hands and provide them with data so that they can embark on their own journeys of self-healing using the philosophy of “let food be thy medicine”. Harnessing creative technology and 14,400 followers on Instagram @dr_pran_yoganathan, he stresses that his educational memes are not medical advice or recommendations, simply his opinions -- and rather strong science-backed opinions they are too! Find out why Dr. Pran's diet of choice - grass-fed steak and eggs has raised eyebrows and temperatures not just in the oven, but in conversation with peers as well. Ask him about butyrate and you'll get him all fired up and excited! Now, are WE ready to absorb the fact that we're meant to burn fat for energy and not glycogen? Let's save that for perhaps another episode. Joining co-hosts Jasmine Low and Nikki Yeo in this same episode are Dr. Desmond Menon, medical lab scientist featured in Ep. 2 Do Our Genes Predispose us to Diseases of our Parents and Malaysia's "biggest" stand-up comedian Papi Zak. ******* More about Dr. Pran Yoganathan ******* Graduating from medicine from the University of Otago in New Zealand, Dr. Pran is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Physician (FRACP) and a member of Gastroenterological Society of Australia (GESA). He has accredited expertise in Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Colonoscopy as certified by the Conjoint Committee for the recognition of training in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. Dr. Pran works in the public and private sectors in Greater Sydney and has a strong interest in the field of human nutrition. He practices an approach to healthcare that assesses the lifestyle of the patient to see how it impacts on their gastrointestinal and metabolic health. Dr. Pran believes that the current day nutritional guidelines may not be based on perfect evidence and he passionately strives to provide the most up to date literature in healthcare and science to provide “Evidence-Based Medicine”. He is a strong motivator and aims to empower his patients to embark on a journey of self-healing using the philosophy of “let food be thy medicine”. Dr. Pran has a special interest in conditions such as Gastro-oesophageal Reflux (GORD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and abdominal bloating. He takes a very thorough approach to resolve these issues using dietary manipulation In conjunction with an accredited highly qualified dietician rather than resort to long-term medications. ******* We hope you've enjoyed these bite-sized pieces of information.

The first time you sit down for a meal at the McDougall Health and Medical Center in Santa Rosa, California, be prepared for a shock. You’ll be surprised at what’s on the table, and what’s not. Dr. McDougall himself explains.

In this episode Mat has a fascinating discussion with Michael S. Fenster MD about the realities of the modern Western diet as it pertains to human health. Mike; known to friends and fans simply as “Chef Dr. Mike,” is America's only board-certified interventional cardiologist and professional chef and in this energised exchange they covered a broad spectrum of highly digestible (pun intended) 'latest-greatest' medical science topics that any open minded human would appreciate to hear. So if you want to know more about the how the modern Western diet is to blame for so many lifestyle diseases and what steps we can take to reverse or prevent them, plug in your ear-buds and give this a listen. As an aside, Mike currently writes a regular column for Psychology Today and has authored several books including The Fallacy of The Calorie: Why The Modern Western Diet is Killing Us and How to Stop It (Koehler Books, 2014), Ancient Eats: The Greeks and Vikings (Koehler Books, 2016) and Food Shaman: The Art of Quantum Food (Post Hill Press, June 2018) is his latest offering.

In this episode, the host Angie Gust, talks about the important role of nutrition in susceptibility to the coronavirus.  A recent article reported that the Western Diet activates the innate immune system and impairs adaptive immunity.  This then leads to inflammation and causes your body to have weakened defenses against viruses like the coronavirus. It is so important to, if you don’t already eat healthy foods, to make it a top priority.  Turning to the environment, in July, presidential nominee, Joe Biden, came out with his Unity Task Force recommendations which will make historic investments in a green economy.

Today, in the midst of the coronavirus panic, the experts are telling people to stay inside, away from fresh air and sunshine. The irony is that keeping people indoors makes them more vulnerable to the disease! In a perfect world, what should the response to diseases like coronavirus be?

Tuesday night, Erik will discuss a variety of diets along with their pros and cons. There are so many diets out there, but which one is best for you? The Keto diet? The Paleo Diet? The South Beach Diet? The Atkins Diet?  A vegetarian diet? A pescatarian diet? A vegan diet? A low calorie diet? An omnivore diet? A carnivore diet? The Mediterranean Diet? The Weight Watchers Diet?  Or something else like the Zone Diet, a raw food diet, The Western Diet, etc.? So many choices, so little time!

Special thank you to Liane Abe and Valarie Hummel who are the newest patrons of the Podcast.  In this weeks conversation, I sat down with Registered Dietician, PhD researcher and Twitter “Equal Opportunity Nutrition Critic” Jake Mey. I wanted to speak to Jake because he seemed to have unique philosophies on areas that are particularly hot right now. He conducts research on skeletal muscle metabolism, ketones and carbohydrates. He is not wedded to one particular dietary strategy vs. another which provided a nuanced and educational back and forth on various nutrition topics. We speak about the concept of moderation in a world that is becoming more and more unhealthy and answer the perennial question “Can I eat Pop-Tarts and still be healthy?” We also speak about ketones, ketosis and the pros and cons for lay people and athletes. And we end with Jake's perspective on the nutrition conversations that are happening right now on social media and if he thinks these are productive, wastes of time or somewhere in between. If you are active on Twitter, I would recommend following him @CakeNutrition, and yes, we speak about the origins of that handle, too. I know you'll enjoy this conversation with the knowledgeable and jovial Dr. Jake Mey.

Have you or a loved one had sepsis?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in the US and occurs when organs and tissues are damaged by the body's immune response.  In fact, 1 in 3 deaths in a hospital are due to sepsis.  New research out of Portland State University suggests that diet may play a large role in developing the infection and it doesn't look good for America.  The western diet increases risk and severity of developing sepsis.  Swap out your processed foods for fresh ones and add some exercise into your daily routine.  Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your diet.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

In the fall of 2017, I had the honor of being one of KetoConnect's first podcast interviewees! Matt and Megha, the champions of all things keto food and keto recipes, asked me to come on and discuss supplements on the keto diet. Matt found me due to my video testing creatine on the keto diet and wanted me to share my other experiences on their “Keto for Normies” podcast.

After all, their recommendations aren't even feasible without massive supplementation using the diets, they recommend! (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3878634/) However, their ratios of potassium to sodium should be a good starting point… meaning potassium is going to be difficult without some ‘help'. Yet, there are no truly agreed upon ratios All in all, it's going to come down to getting your own blood tests and gut-checking with how you're feeling and if you're cramping. On to the important electrolytes: Magnesium Nearly everyone needs to supplement this! Western Diet is simply deficient. (See best forms of magnesium) Better sleep, less anxiety Regular Poops!!

              Here's a 1 minute preview of today's featured Guest. Give it a listen and share it with your friends, and if you like the content be sure and listen to the full 20 minute interview! Transcript:  Bill: Looking for a quick dietary tip to reduce your risk of cancer? Here's Doctor David Leonardi. David: Most people are convinced that protein is a critical part of our nutrition, and the consumption of plenty of animal protein is pretty standard in the Western Diet. But, we've long known from published studies, that high protein diets on a bio-chemical level, are actually deleterious. So, recently, a study published in 2014 finally looked at the relationship between protein intake and mortality In people aged 50-65, the intake of animal protein, in this study, correlated directly with mortality. Now, when I say animal protein, almost everybody thinks of red meat, but I'm talking about animal protein in general. So, this includes all meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. So the intake of animal protein correlated directly with mortality in people aged 50-65, but when they looked at plants as the source of protein, the relationship with mortality was nearly abolished. And there's several reasons for this, number one: animal protein contains higher levels of an amino acid called methionine, and cancer cells thrive on methionine. Secondly, Bill, how do we usually cook animal protein? Meat or fish, we usually grill it or broil it. These very hot or very dry cooking processes form carcinogens on the surface of the meat or fish called heterocyclic amines, and they create inflammatory molecules within the meat or fish. All these create a bio-chemical environment that promotes the risk of a mutation to cancer, and also more rapid growth of that cancer.    Need to work ON your business?

Episode 012 - Current Western Diet In today's episode we discuss more about how current American diets are moving farther away from the healthy meals we once had.

The majority of children and adults in America take one or more dietary supplements every day. Today's dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, herbals and botanicals, amino acids, enzymes and many other products. Popular supplements include vitamins D and E; minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron, herbs such as echinacea and garlic; and specialty products like probiotics and fish oils. Yet, by the time you finish reading this email another four Americans will have had a heart attack and another four will have had a stroke or heart failure. Heart attack is the leading killer in developed countries. Worldwide, cancer kills 7.6 million people annually. Deaths from cancer are projected to reach over 11 million by 2030. Throughout the world 171 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes and over 500 million people are clinically obese. As per the World Health Organization, obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide and authorities view it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. What is going on and why are we so sick? After 45 years of her own research Dr. Dean has come to two very important understandings: 1) Magnesium and mineral deficiency are the real 'killers' 2). Many of the symptoms people are expressing today also come from digestive issues and the Western Diet - highly processed foods high in sugar and fats that infest the gut with yeast overgrowth. If you are unfamiliar with yeast overgrowth - you can read this article written by Dr. Carolyn Dean that describes its causes and effects: http://www.needs.com/product/NDNL-0704-01/a_Probiotics Tonight on our internet based radio show, we talked with Dr. Dean's about her findings as well as her recommendation for treating these two foundational issues with a doctor created, doctor recommended protocol that will move you out of the 'risk' column and into the 'reward' program!

The majority of children and adults in America take one or more dietary supplements every day. Today's dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, herbals and botanicals, amino acids, enzymes and many other products. Popular supplements include vitamins D and E; minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron, herbs such as echinacea and garlic; and specialty products like probiotics and fish oils. Yet, by the time you finish reading this email another four Americans will have had a heart attack and another four will have had a stroke or heart failure. Heart attack is the leading killer in developed countries. Worldwide, cancer kills 7.6 million people annually. Deaths from cancer are projected to reach over 11 million by 2030.

http:/www.einstein.yu.edu - The Western Diet -- defined by fried and sweet foods, processed and red meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products -- has been liked to colon cancer. Leonard Augenlicht, Ph.D., explains his research into how diet impacts the colon and the development of the disease. Dr. Augenlicht is director of Einstein's Biology of Colon Cancer Program and a professor of medicine and of cell biology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

Omega-3s are indeed a hot topic, although it appears that all we North Americans really know, is that Omega-3 eggs, fish and fish oils, and flax products, are all good sources. Consuming these products as we've been told, reduces the risk of heart disease. Of course the responsible thing to do is to remain skeptical and question any new diet craze that hits our culinarily confused culture. As for Omega-3s, it appears some critical information has evaded the radar of North American media and hence the eating public. In a fascinating book by Author Susan Allport, the history, science and hype surrounding Omega-3s is laid out for all to see. Titled "The Queen of Fats - Why Omega-3s Were Removed From the Western Diet and What We Can Do to Replace Them", Allport reveals that our collective understanding of these vital fatty acids is way off. According to Allport, lacking in exposure has been Omega-6s, another family of essential fatty acids that compete with Omega-3s. And so if both are in competition, why is it we never hear about the 6s? In October 2007, CBC's The National aired a segment on the increasing confusion surrounding Omega-3s and questioned how much fish new and expecting mothers should be consuming. After a read through The Queen of Fats, it appears that not only has the CBC deepened this collective confusion, it has equally encouraged the further pillaging of our already vulnerable oceans. Unlike most media coverage on diet and nutrition, this episode will not so much suggest what you should or should not be eating, but will instead look to capture how our lifestyles and the industrialization of our food has had devastating impacts on our health.

Übergewicht hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten weltweit epidemischen Charakter erreicht. In Europa sind bereits 43% der erwachsenen Bevölkerung übergewichtig und 17% fettleibig. Die Adipositas ist eine multifaktorielle Erkrankung und führt über ein erhöhtes Risiko für Diabetes, Krebs oder Herz-Kreislauferkrankungen bis hin zu einer deutlichen Herabsetzung der Lebenserwartung. Durch das Versagen konventioneller Therapien wie Diät oder Sport, treten medikamentöse Behandlungsmethoden immer mehr in den Vordergrund. Bisher sind zwei Kategorien etabliert, die Appetitzügler und die Lipasehemmer. Zahlreiche Studien erforschen neuerdings Therapiekonzepte zum Angriff an spezifischen Rezeptoren und Veränderungen des Fett- und Energiestoffwechsels auf molekularer Ebene. Diese Arbeit beschäftigte sich mit der Entwicklung neuer Arzneimittel zur Behandlung von Adipositas in verschiedenen Fettsuchtmodellen an Ratten. Alle Studien begannen mit Vorversuchszeiten von 1-2 Wochen zur Stabilisierung des täglichen Körpergewichtzuwachses, der Futter- und der Wasseraufnahme. Die Tiere erhielten in allen Versuchen eine zucker- und fettreiche Diät, deren Zusammensetzung sich an Ernährungsgewohnheiten in westlichen Industrieländern orientierte (Western Diet). Wasser wurde ad libitum bereitgestellt und die Aufnahme täglich bestimmt. Das gleich galt mit Ausnahme von Versuch 1 auch für das Futter. Am letzten Tag der Experimente erfolgten Blutabnahmen an den zuvor nüchtern gesetzten Ratten. Unmittelbar danach wurden die Tiere in einer CO2-Kammer getötet, die Kadaver einzeln in Gefrierbeutel verpackt und anschließend zusammen mit den Blutproben bis zur weiteren Aufarbeitung gruppenweise bei -20 °C eingefroren. Versuch 1: In Versuch 1 wurde an männlichen Wistarratten eine mögliche Wirkungsverstärkung des selektiven CB1-Antagonisten SLV319 in Kombination mit dem Lipasehemmer Orlistat (Xenical®), auf Körpergewichtsentwicklung, Futter- und Wasseraufnahme, Blutwerte und Zusammensetzung der Tierkörper untersucht. Die Tiere wurden über einen Zeitraum von 4 Wochen einmal täglich mit Vehikel 1 (CMC) oder SLV319 (3 oder 10 mg/kg KG) geschlündelt, und zweimal täglich mit Vehikel 2 (Labrasol) oder Orlistat 50 mg/kg KG. Jeweils nach Gabe von entweder Labrasol oder Orlistat erhielten die Ratten für genau 2,5 Stunden Futter ad libitum. Das Körpergewicht der Tiere war in allen Gruppen im Vergleich zur Kontrolle vermindert: Bei Einzelbehandlung mit SLV319-3 um 50%, mit SLV319-10 um 42% und mit Orlistat um 52%, bei der Kombination tendenziell aber nicht signifikant stärker durch SLV319-3+Orlistat um 76% und durch SLV319-10+Orlistat um 59%. Die Futteraufnahme in Relation zum Körpergewicht wurde im Vergleich zur Kontrolle durch die niedrige und die hohe SLV319-Dosis um 8 bzw. 10% vermindert und durch Orlistat um 18% erhöht. In der Kombination erhöhte sich Futteraufnahme ebenfalls um 11% bzw. 13%. Zusätzlich erniedrigte sowohl SLV319 als auch Orlistat die Triglyzeride, NEFA-Level, das freie Cholesterin, und hatte einen positiven Effekt auf die HDL-Werte im Serum. SLV319 erniedrigte die Insulinspiegel und verbesserte die Insulinsensitivität. In der Carcass-Analyse konnte in allen Gruppen der Körpergewichtsverlust überproportional auf eine Verminderung an Körperfett zurückgeführt werden. SLV319 hat somit ein mögliches Potenzial für die Therapie der Fettleibigkeit, die durch Kombination mit Orlistat noch verstärkt werden könnte. Versuch 2: Die vorliegende Studie erforscht die Auswirkungen von SLV335, einem neuen Carboanhydrasehemmer, auf Körpergewicht, Futter-, Wasseraufnahme und Blutwerte bei weiblichen Wistarratten im Vergleich zu Topiramat. Die Tiere wurden über einen Zeitraum von 4 Wochen zweimal täglich mit Vehikel, SLV335 oder Topiramat geschlündelt. Die Tagesdosen von jeweils 30, 60 oder 100 mg/kg KG wurden zu einem Drittel am Morgen und zu zwei Dritteln am Abend verabreicht. Sowohl SLV335 als auch Topiramat erniedrigten signifikant und dosisabhängig das Körpergewicht der Tiere im Vergleich zur Kontrolle: Bei den drei SLV335-Dosen um 18%, 52% und 85%, bei Topiramat um 38%, 40% und 58%. Auch die Futteraufnahme relativ zum Körpergewicht reduzierte sich, aber nur bei SLV335 um 9%, 15% und 23%, bei allen Topiramat-behandelten Ratten um 11-13%. Topiramat und SLV335 führten unabhängig von der Dosis zu einer Steigerung der Wasseraufnahme, die sich aber nur bei Topiramat signifikant von der Kontrolle unterschied. Weder Topiramat noch SLV335 zeigten signifikante Änderungen der Blutwerte, doch erniedrigten sie leicht die Triglyzeride und NEFA-Werte im Serum. Der CA-Inhibitor SLV335 hatte einen stark gewichtsreduzierenden Effekt. Somit könnte die Hemmung spezifischer Carboanhydrasen ein Mechanismus für Gewichtsverlust sein, und SLV335 ein therapeutisches Potenzial in der Behandlung der Adipositas besitzen. Versuch 3: In diesem Versuch wurden zwei CB1-Antagonisten, das bereits im Handel befindliche Rimonabant (Acomplia®) und die Prüfsubstanz SLV330 in ihren Wirkungen auf Köpergewicht, Futter-, Wasseraufnahme und die Blutwerte bei männlichen Wistarratten verglichen. Die Tiere wurden einmal täglich 2 Wochen lang entweder mit CMC-PEG-Vehikel oder mit 3 oder 10 mg/kg KG SLV330 bzw. Rimonabant i.p. gespritzt. Sowohl SLV330 als auch Rimonabant erniedrigten das Körpergewicht der Ratten im Vergleich zu Kontrolle: Bei der niedrigen und hohen Dosis von SLV330 um 25% und 70%, bei Rimonabant um 37 und 60%. Die Futter- und Wasseraufnahme wurde in allen Gruppen ebenfalls dosisabhängig erniedrigt. Beide Substanzen erniedrigten die Triglyzeride, NEFA und freies Cholesterin im Serum. Lediglich die hohe Rimonabantdosis erhöhte das HDL, verbesserte die Insulinsensitivität und erniedrigte die Insulinspiegel im Serum. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, dass SLV330 durchaus Potenzial für die Therapie der Adipositas besitzt. Intraperitoneal verabreicht zeigt es vergleichbare Ergebnisse zu Rimonabant. Versuch 4: Die dosisabhängige Wirkung von Topiramat auf Körpergewicht, Futter-, Wasseraufnahme, Blutwerte und Zusammensetzung der Tierkörper wurde an männlichen Zucker-Ratten untersucht, die erstmals mit einer fettreichen „Western Diet“ gefüttert wurden. Die Tiere wurden zweimal täglich über einen Zeitraum von 4 Wochen entweder mit CMC-PEG-Vehikel oder Topiramat (30 oder 100 mg/kg KG) geschlündelt. Das Körpergewicht der Tiere verminderte sich je in der niedrigen und hohen Topiramatdosis im Vergleich zur Kontrolle um 10% bzw. 32%. Auch die Futteraufnahme wurde dosisabhängig unterdrückt. Die Wasseraufnahme steigerte sich dagegen bei der niedrigeren Dosis stärker als bei der hohen Dosis. Unabhängig von der Dosis erhöhte Topiramat im Serum die Triglyzeride, NEFA und LDL und wirkte sich negativ auf das HDL aus. Das gesamte und freie Cholesterin erhöhte sich, die Insulinsensitivität wurde nicht verändert. Die geringe Gewichtsreduktion nach der niedrigen Topiramatdosis konnte fast vollständig auf den Fettverlust zurückgeführt werden, wohingegen die hohe Dosis eine gleichmäßige nicht-spezifische Erniedrigung an Fett, Wasser und etwas weniger an Proteinen bewirkte. Die gewichtsreduzierenden Eigenschaften von Topiramat wurden bestätigt. Vor allem die niedrigere Dosierung von 30 mg/kg führt möglicherweise zu metabolischen Veränderungen, welche eine Verminderung des Körperfetts bewirken.

Background: The atheroprotective effects of systemic delivery of either apolipoprotein A-I (wtApoA-I) or the naturally occurring mutant ApoA-I Milano (ApoA-I(M)) have been established in animal and human trials, but direct comparison studies evaluating the phenotype of ApoA-I or ApoAI-Milano knock-in mice or bone marrow transplantated animals with selectively ApoA-I or ApoAI-Milano transduced macrophages give conflicting results regarding the superior performance of either one. We therefore sought to compare the two forms of apoA-I using liver-directed somatic gene transfer in hypercholesterinemic mice - a model which is most adequately mimicking the clinical setting. Methods and results: Vectors based on AAV serotype 8 (AAV2.8) encoding wtApoA-I, ApoA-I(M) or green fluorescent protein (GFP) as control were constructed. LDL receptor deficient mice were fed a Western Diet. After 8 weeks the AAV vectors were injected, and 6 weeks later atherosclerotic lesion size was determined by aortic en face analysis. Expression of wtApoA-I reduced progression of atherosclerosis by 32% compared with control (p = 0.02) and of ApoA-I(M) by 24% (p = 0.04). There was no significant difference between the two forms of ApoA-I in inhibiting atherosclerosis progression. Conclusion: Liver-directed AAV2.8-mediated gene transfer of wtApoA-I and ApoA-I(M) each significantly reduced atherosclerosis progression to a similar extent.
