How Butyrate Supports Gut, Cell & Brain Function – Jessica Kane Berman : 982
BodyBio sponsored this podcast. IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how butyrate and phospholipids keep your gut, cells and brain performing at their best. You’ll find out how your mucosal barrier defends against pathogens in your gut microbiome. You’ll also learn about discoveries in the field of cell membrane medicine. This focus determines how your body functions now and also how you age.Jessica Kane Berman joins the show to share new information and interesting science about cellular health from the perspective of BodyBio, the company founded by her grandfather, Ed Kane, an inventor, health explorer and early biohacker. He went looking for answers to his own health issues in the 1980s and got deep into the science of fatty acid research and cell membrane medicine through blood testing.BodyBio sticks to a very specific group of products, most notably butyrate and a phospholipid complex of phosphatidylcholine. Jess explains how true liposomal phosphatidylcholine and phospholipids get through to the cells to help rebuild that membrane. Here’s a few good things butyrate does in your gut:Helps maintain the thickness of the mucosal barrier—keeps the good in and the bad outHelps the expression of tight junctions and strengthens the gut wallExpresses MUC2: this produces mucus, which thickens your mucous liningRegulates T-Cells and helps lower cytokine releaseIncreases microbiome diversityAnti-inflammatory properties help improve intestinal barrier function and mucosal immunityButyrate goes way beyond the gut to influence bone mass and density, asthma and allergies, histamine intolerance, body detoxification, inflammatory brain pathways, and mitochondrial function. Butyrate also can alter gene expression, protect against cancer, and regulate the body’s immune system.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: https://bodybio.com/dave, use code DAVE25 to get 25% offWE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

The Science of Changing Your Mind – Legacy Upgrade ft. Dr. Joe Dispenza : 980
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…a legacy upgrade conversation with Dr. Joe Dispenza explores how you can change from the inside out through a combination of neuroscience, epigenetics, quantum physics—and even a divine source. “I teach people the science of changing their mind and what it is to truly transform,” he says.He shows people how to rewire their brains and recondition their bodies to make lasting changes by way of science, energy and mysticism. His background and expertise include training in neuroscience, neurology, cellular biology, brain function and chemistry, memory formation, and aging and longevity.From healing illness to evolving consciousness, Dr. Dispenza examines how to connect with the divine and bridges the mystical with science. “It's really important to have science demystify that process,” he says. Why? Because science is a contemporary language that offers you explanations, helps you understand the how and why, and assigns clear meaning. “Here's what I know,” Dr. Dispenza says. “We have evidence that you can make your brain work better. As you can prove also, we have evidence that you can make your heart work better. We have evidence, you can strengthen your immune system. We have evidence, you can change your gene expression in four days. We have evidence, you can lengthen your life from meditation, just by lengthening your telomeres and changing your state. We have evidence in the scientific world that people actually can transform.”Listen on to learn about the power of inner work, elevated emotions and human connection.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Meditation Hacks Get You Into A Peak State in Less Time – Vishen Lakhiani : 979
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn about a “6 Phase Meditation” approach that absolutely everyone can do—and benefit from!—no exceptions. This custom-designed meditation sequence gets you into a peak state in just a few minutes. No boredom, special breathing, or clearing your mind required. You’ll find out how to make meditation work for you and how you can use intuition as one of your greatest strengths.Episode guest Vishen Lakhiani took up meditation at age 26 as a way to cope with the stress of working for a startup in Silicon Valley. That decision changed his life so dramatically that within two years he quit to pursue meditation, other tools of personal development, and then spread awareness and education to people around the world. He’s taught his signature 6-phase meditation style to world-class athletes, professional entertainers and high-performers in all types of business. He also founded Mindvalley, an international learning platform.Vishen’s newest book, “THE 6 PHASE MEDITATION METHOD: The Proven Technique to Supercharge Your Mind, Manifest Your Goals and Make Magic in Minutes a Day,” outlines a series of science-backed mental exercises for accomplishing your goals. It condenses the wisdom of nearly 1,000 neuroscientists, monks, yogis, and meditation experts into a hyper-efficient programming script that you can run through your mind any time of day.Unlike traditional meditation that encourages a calm and serene environment, the 6 Phase Meditation Method can be done from anywhere—your bed, your office or even on your next flight. “It's six different practices that you layer on that put you in a hyper-optimized state,” Vishen says. You’ll get a lot out of this fascinating conversation that gets into realms of spirituality, psilocybin, perceptual diversity, physics, brain waves, and altered states.

Don’t Accept Suffering as Normal – Dr. Gabor Maté : 977
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™ … you’ll learn to define what’s really “normal” when it comes to your health. You’ll explore how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. And why Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person.This conversation covers an investigation into the causes of illness, a critique of how our society breeds disease, and offers a pathway to health and healing. One of the surprising things you’ll learn has to do with authenticity.“The loss of authenticity is one of the major impacts of trauma,” says renowned Canadian speaker and bestselling author, Dr. Gabor Maté. “It's also a major cause of physical and mental illness.”Dr. Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on topics like addiction, stress, trauma, and childhood development. He spent two decades in family practice and palliative care. He also worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (Canada) with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness.In his newest book, “The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture,” he pushes back on the prevailing understanding of “normal” because it neglects the roles that trauma and stress—and the pressures of modern-day living—exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense of good health. “If you're suffering, don't accept it as normal, but ask what's going on here?” Dr. Maté says. “Let the suffering instruct you that there's something going on; that what you think is normal is actually not healthy or natural for you.”WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Male Hormones: How Testosterone and Toxins Mess With You – Tracy Gapin, M.D. : 976
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... you’ll learn that while yes, testosterone fuels energy and performance, it’s not the be-all and end-all solution for men’s health woes. A systems biology approach considers many other aspects and provides a broader perspective about what’s going on with you.This conversation features board-certified urologist Tracy Gapin, M.D., one of the 8th Annual Biohacking Conference keynote speakers. He’ll be on the main stage in Beverly Hills in September. He joins this special preview episode to discuss new ways for men to improve their health and performance. He uses epigenetic coaching, hormones, peptide therapy, biometric monitoring, and unique nutrition and lifestyle interventions.“Testosterone levels over the last 30 years are down by about 30 percent,” Dr. Tracy says. “Free testosterone, which is the bioavailable, active hormone testosterone is actually down over 45%. This is really important. We're not just talking about sex and muscle, we're talking about a man's life and cardiovascular health and cognitive function. The culprit can be debated, but without question, one of the biggest ones in my mind is endocrine disruptors. Toxins, chemicals in our environment that are clearly crushing men's health, clearly crushing testosterone. It's the food we eat, it's the water we drink, it's the personal care products. It's ubiquitous, it's almost everywhere and it's getting worse.”In his book, “Male 2.0™: Cracking the Code to Limitless Health and Vitality,” he says medical school, residency training and even a two-decade career in urology and surgery specialties didn’t teach him how to get to root causes of men’s issues and solve them. He had a health crash of his own at 42. Since neither he nor his doctor had good answers, he went on a quest of discovery and change. He founded the Gapin Institute for High Performance Medicine and created the proprietary N1 Performance Health Program to go beyond conventional options.This conversation goes even further into what creates epigenetic signals that affect the function and expression of your genes. You’ll learn, too, that your mindset, stress and environment—and how you do or don’t control those things—have everything to do with your energy and focus. If you’re aiming for higher performance, Dr. Tracy suggests a trifecta that makes sleep a priority, builds resilience to stress, and creates consistent behaviors with intention.More about Dr. Tracy Gapin: He’s a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging, the Age Management Medical Group, and the International Peptide Society. He spent almost 20 years at a urology practice in Sarasota, Fla., where he specialized in robotic surgery, minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer, and men’s health.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: TEXT “HEALTH” to 2 6 7 8 6 to get three bonus gifts.***WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
