Is Red Meat the Fountain of Youth? Paul Saladino : 1229

Today, we’re digging into specifics about food that you haven’t heard on the show before. This one may very well influence you to rethink your “healthy” diet and change how you feel about food completely. To get there, I’m excited to welcome back Teri Cochrane, an integrative practitioner and pioneer in personalized healthcare. Teri is the founder of the Global Sustainable Health Institute® and developer of The Cochrane Method®, a future-facing algorithm for decoding the human body. Teri is also one of the world’s leading experts on dietary amyloids, which is a topic I love talking about.In today’s episode, we get into what amyloids are and how they turn on viruses, cause cancer, and shorten our lives. We also explore the dangers of oxalates and histamines, plus hacks to reduce and release them. Teri and I both have our own recipes for releasing oxalates that you can try at home (they’re surprisingly simple). We talk about how dirty poultry is killing us—and how superfoods like kale and almonds aren’t any better. We break down the benefits of regenerative farming, and share ways to make your dollar stretch if you can’t afford grass-fed meat. Plus, Teri tells us what she personally eats.

Meet the man who’s making leaps forward in functional movement training. Ben Patrick (aka the Knees Over Toes Guy) went from chronic knee issues to becoming a dunking sensation with his remarkable 42-inch vertical leap. His journey led him to discover the unconventional “knees over toes” method. He now trains to reverse joint pain and defy aging.In this episode, Ben shares his three game-changing foundations of exercise. We look back at the history of backward walking, and talk about its benefits today. Ben gives us his best tips for strengthening and healing knees, calves, shins, hip flexors, and shoulders. We start from the ground up with fixes for feet and toes. Plus, we talk about the problem with most shoes.Today’s biggest takeaway is recognizing the connection between functional movement and longevity. Functional training is key to how long you live and how well you live. Whether you’re 18 and want to do parkour or you’re 80 and want to get up off the floor—or still do parkour—you’ll want to hear this one.

On today’s Upgrade Spotlight episode, we’re talking all about NAD+. In the biohacking world, everyone and their mother has heard of NMN and NAD+, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. To get into the nitty gritty of NAD+, we’re joined by Dr. Gregory Kelly, a naturopathic physician and the lead product formulator at Neurohacker Collective, also known as Qualia. I’m an advisor to the company, and they do fantastic and innovative work in the longevity space. Their NAD+ supplement is a quantum leap in biohacking and a no-brainer to add to your stack. In today’s episode, Dr. Kelly explains what NAD is and why it’s essential for longevity, cognition, energy levels, and athletic performance. We talk about the differences between NR, NMN, and Niacinamide. We also explore the most efficient way to get NAD. Is an IV worth the money or will supplements give you more bang for your buck? Plus, Dr. Kelly breaks down exactly what’s included—and not included—in the Qualia NAD+ formula. I’ve been a major proponent of NAD for more than 10 years, but I don’t like to spend all my time and money getting it. If you feel the same, you’re going to want to tune into this episode.
