Earth Day Bonus: How to Fix the Global Food System and Save the Planet – Dr. Mark Hyman

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE... … Body movement expert Aaron Alexander joins the show to talk about how to integrate healthy movement practices into your daily life.You’ve likely heard that sitting is the new smoking – well, good news: It’s not the sitting itself, but how you sit, that affects your well-being. In fact, all the ways you hold your body and move your body matters. Body language and how you move through space tells others how comfortable you are, how truthful and trustworthy you are, and more.Most of you have built up body movement around a collapse state, which can lead to physical and emotional pain. Aaron spent years traveling the world, discovering how other cultures defined and measured health and studying movement behaviors. He found that the healthiest cultures incorporate aligned movement and sitting styles into their day-to-day activity. Take walking for example. “When you're out taking a walk, it's like you are literally playing symphony of your physiology,” he says. “Walking is one of the healthiest things that a person can do–just going out and getting yourself into that contralateral motion, contralateral being just like walking pattern. As you're doing that, you're stimulating your brain function, you're also stimulating things like peristalsis and digestion and organ function.”Aaron is a manual therapist, using movement techniques inspired by yoga, martial arts, chiropractic skills and more. He also hosts the popular Align Podcast, and wrote “The Align Method: A Modern Movement Guide for a Stronger Body, Sharper Mind, and Stress-Proof Life,” which shares the tools you need to reshape your environment for enhanced creativity and longevity.Healthy movement incorporating play and adaptability enhances creativity, resilience and creates a healthy nervous system. During the show, Aaron goes over the five daily movements to integrate into your life and how to get started in a productive, gentle and playful way.“Your body is so darn adaptable that if it's just a matter of you need to give it a baseline of the raw components to be healthy,” says Aaron. “If for a moment you're slouching over a chair, I love that. There's no problem with that, it's the repetition of that. If for a movement you're looking into a wall or into a blue light or whatever, you're not going to just explode.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Quantum energy fields are different from harmful EMFs you’re told to avoid. Here are a few of the benefits of quantum energy, also known as “frequency medicine.”Improves your blood and cellular healthIncreases your fitness level and speeds up recovery Intensifies the taste of your food and extends its shelf lifeEases pain and activates your own inner healerImprove the quality of your water at home and on the road.Helps you become more resistant to stress and more efficient in your daily tasksPrevents exhaustion so you’re able to focus betterAllows you to worry less and enjoy the momentBut how can quantum energy and specific frequencies have such a powerful effect on humans, animals and even plants? Philipp looked to science for the answers. Leela submits its products to be scientifically studied by third party institutes and doctor’s offices. Leela concentrates pure quantum energy in specific plates and aligns them to create a highly concentrated field and quantum energy space. Examples are the Leela Quantum Bloc and Infinity Bloc. They’ve also developed frequency cards, capsules and clothing.“There's so many people that may want to enjoy support like that, and they don't understand it,” Philipp says. “And for them, you need to provide something for the brain to read through it, and that's what we've done.” So far, the research studies found quantum energy frequencies:Block, neutralize and bring EMFs into harmony Positively impact the autonomic nervous system and heart rate variabilityPositively impact organ function, cellular health and blood healthNeutralize harmful frequencies like herbicides, pesticides and cesium 137Boost body and energy function in 100% of cases Some of that testing includes measuring EMFs or using dark-field microscopy to measure voltage in the cells. Leela’s other research projects are studying the benefits of quantum energy frequencies for autistic kids, athletes, and people experiencing chronic Lyme disease.This fascinating topic gets into other frequencies, too, like molecular, etheric, and sound. Listen on to find out how you can use the power of energy frequencies to upgrade yourself.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The conversation gets into many topics like the immune system, infections, chronic disease and why your brain may be on fire. It’s all connected!Dr. Kaplan is a pro at alleviating chronic pain and illness in the field of integrative medicine, by combining integrative and alternative strategies. Conventional thinking about chronic pain and depression is flawed, he says, as more research shows often those symptoms are rooted in inflammation in the brain. Three major causes of inflammation include environmental factors, childhood trauma, and epigenetics and genetics.Inflamed brains, specifically, cause mental, emotional and physical pain like depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic fibromyalgia, pediatric neuropsychiatric disorders and more, he says.Dr. Kaplan’s treats patients at the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine he founded in 1985. He’s board-certified in Family Medicine, Pain Medicine, and Medical Acupuncture. He’s also studied and practiced Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Herbal Medicine and is certified in Chelation Therapy.Virtual Conference Zeros in on Neuroinflammation Dr. Kaplan’s drawn on his interest in brain inflammation, the immune system and chronic disease to assemble experts from around the world. This group will share new developments and research about chronic illness at a virtual conference in February 2022.The conference topics will cover brain inflammation due to immune dysregulation. You’ll also hear about new breakthrough data on diagnosis and treatment of long-hauler Covid.

In his latest book “Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine,” he focuses on how real food can reverse chronic disease and promote longevity. He also challenges the current healthcare paradigm and the influence of Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Government. “I wrote Metabolical to basically explain what is healthy,” Dr. Lustig says. “And based on the empiric data, based on the science, based on the pathologies that I describe in the book that belie chronic disease, I distilled all of the information down to six words – two precepts, six words: ‘Protect the liver, feed the gut.’”These are the eight cell pathologies that underlie all chronic disease, according to Dr. Lustig:glycationoxidative stressmitochondrial dysfunctioninsulin resistancemembrane instabilityinflammationepigeneticsautophagy"[When] you look at the entire molecular mechanism of every single one of those eight subcellular pathologies, none of them have a medicine," he says. "None of them are druggable. They're all foodable." His book also documents how processed food has impacted human health, the economy, and the environment over the past 50 years. “It’s not about obesity, it never was,” Dr. Lustig says. “The key to the kingdom is that it is not about obesity, it is about metabolic dysfunction and anyone can get it, and that’s what makes it a public health crisis, because obesity is a result of the problem, not the cause.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(She’s also an expert in circadian rhythm fasting.) “These three areas communicate, and they talk to the brain constantly,” says Dr. Shah, who studied and trained at Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard Universities. “And if any of those are broken, then you're going to be tired. And so things like short fasting, circadian fasting, sinking with nature and circadian rhythms, which is our internal clock and eating the right foods really can make a difference. And of course, there's this whole component of mind, body health, which we sorely miss in Western culture.” What you eat, when you eat and mind-body health rule your energy patterns and likely could be the root cause of your fatigue.

Kindness is a powerful tool – it helps people feel less alone and truly makes the world a more joyful and tolerant place. The two insightful guests you’ll hear from in this episode – Jamil Zaki, Ph.D., and Leon Logothetis – will leave you feeling lighter, more optimistic and, well, kinder!Jamil Zaki, Ph.D., uses tools from psychology and neuroscience to help you understand how empathy works. As a professor of Psychology at Stanford University and the director of the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab, he explains how kindness is a learnable skill. You can use it in your life more often.Jamil’s kindness research includes empathy and compassion to form a triad. “Kindness is a behavior that benefits another person,” he explains. Scientists view empathy like a big umbrella term for emotional connection and then compassion as one of the components of emotional connectedness to others.You can dive into more of his research in his book, “The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World.”Leon Logothetis invites you to join the kindness rebellion. He’s certain you’ll find wealth in health and happiness, success in inner peace and a definite cool factor in being kind. Leon’s a motivational speaker, adventurer and philanthropist known as the “The Kindness Guy.” His travels take him all over the world looking for and spreading kindness (binge watch both seasons of “The Kindness Diaries”). He speaks to children and adults at schools and companies about the importance of being kind in the world. Empathy and compassion have a lot to do with that.Check out his latest book: “Go Be Kind-A Life-Changing Little Journal: 28½ Adventures Guaranteed to Make You Happier,” to find out how you can get in on the kindness movement.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

These two guests give tips on managing your emotional states so you can be more resilient in all areas of your life.Expert psychologist, trainer and speaker Joan Rosenberg, Ph.D., guides yoou to achieve your highest potential by teaching you how to be in control of your own emotions. Award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist Susan David, Ph.D., describes all the psychological skills necessary for you to thrive in uncertain times. She challenges the common attitude that you have to “fix” your difficult emotions through positive thinking. “Emotional agility is about the capacity to be with ourselves,” Susan says. “That includes our difficult thoughts and emotions and stories and past experiences in a way that's compassionate and curious and that doesn't hold us back from being the people that we most want to be.”Since you can’t get away from emotions, there’s power in knowing how to deal with them. “We've got to be able to reconnect with ourselves so that we can move forward in the world,” Susan says.Get ready to learn some foundational skills that will make you an emotional agility pro.About Joan: The author of “90 Seconds to a Life You Love: How to Master Your Difficult Feelings to Cultivate Lasting Confidence, Resilience, and Authenticity,” teaches you how to be in control of your own emotions.Joan guides you through eight unpleasant feelings she’s pinpointed: sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, vulnerability, embarrassment, disappointment and frustration. She says the best way to approach these feelings is with confrontation and empathy.“The single most important thing I can do is to recognize someone’s pain, and just in essence, hold a mirror up to it, even if it sounds like you’re saying the things that are so obvious,” Joan says. “It has a huge impact of calming someone else’s nervous system down.”About Susan: She’s the author of “Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life,” based on 20 years of research of how to get through uncertainty “For people to be healthy with themselves, with the inner worlds, these are not soft skills,” Susan says. “These are the most fundamental skills that we can have as human beings.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
