Stay Sick or Eat Meat? Facing a Vegan Crisis – Monica Hershaft : 897

In this episode, I am talking with a nationally board certified naturopathic doctor, a fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology, and someone who also studied and is licensed in both acupuncture and Oriental medicine. I'm talking about none other than Dr. Nasha Winters. Dr. Winters is the bestselling author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer, which is definitely worth reading, even if you don't have cancer. Nasha is based in Durango, Colorado and is the former CEO of Optimal Terrain Consulting, where she instructed on the practice of highly personalized integrative oncology care.The reason Dr. Winters is on the podcast is to talk about ketones and metabolism, which is a significant part of her practice. Funny enough, all of us have metabolisms, so you will likely find this to be a highly relevant episode.

Imagine building something like a cell phone, a car, or a house and then imagine that thing went on to reproduce itself. Well, that is what Andrew Hessel, the guest on this episode of Bulletproof Radio, and the people at the human Genome Project-Write intend to do. Starting by helping people better understand and use living systems to meet the needs of society.Andrew Hessel is the CEO of Humane Genomics Inc., a seed-stage company developing virus-based therapies for cancer, starting with dogs. He is also a co-founder of the Genome Project-write, the international scientific effort working to engineer large genomes, including the human genome. Andrew does things that sound like science fiction and even the way he describes himself, as a synthetic biologist, contains a set of words that did not exist until very recently. In the interview, we get into what exactly that is, what can be done through DNA splicing, and why they use viruses to get the job done.

The guest on this episode of Bulletproof Radio is a doctor who was referenced heavily in Headstrong, my book about cognitive function and mitochondrial hacking. His name is Dr. Frank Shallenberger (or Dr. Ozone) and he has been practicing as a physician for more than four decades in both conventional and alternative medicine.He started as a western doctor, earlier in his career but he decided that he wanted to know more about health than what happens in a hospital. This happened after he realized that the human body is a self-healing mechanism and that it is our lifestyle, belief system, bad exercise, and toxins that cause it to break.Dr. Shallenberger is one of the guys who has revolutionized the practice of anti-aging and preventative medicine since the very early days of those fields. He has also patented a method to measure mitochondrial function, metabolism, oxygen utilization and in this episode, we talk about that method, his most recent book, Bursting With Energy, and much more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
