Is There An Antidote To Stress? with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, Levels, and Cozy Earth.  We often hear the argument that in order to solve climate change we need to stop eating meat, but the truth is that animal agriculture done right is actually part of the solution. On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Robby Sansom and Taylor Collins about the nuances of regeneratively raised meat and how it can reverse climate change, support better health for those who eat it, and provide natural and caring conditions for the animals it involves.  Robby Sansom is Co-Founder & CEO at Force of Nature, a regeneratively sourced meat company based in Austin, TX. Previously, as CFO/COO at EPIC, Robby spent much of the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world. Force of Nature works in partnership with land stewards, ranchers, and farmers committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Robby is also a land steward at ROAM Ranch, where he owns regeneratively managed bison. Taylor Collins is the Chief Bison Wrangler and a Co-founder of Force of Nature. In 2017, Taylor and his family purchased ROAM Ranch, a 900-acre multi-species regenerative ecosystem. Within 5 years of management, the ranch has seen dramatic improvements in soil carbon, water infiltration, plant diversity, and soil health.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Wonderfeel.  Women in midlife often experience night sweats, mood swings, and other uncomfortable and difficult symptoms resulting from hormonal shifts. This is also often a time of significant stressors, as many women are juggling parenting, a career, and even caring for elders. And contrary to popular belief, women cannot follow the same health and fitness protocols as men and expect to see the same results. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr. Izabella Wentz, and Cynthia Thurlow about things women over 40 can do to ease their experiences during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their hormonal health. She has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to tap into their bodies' innate healing abilities through her “5-Step Approach,” which uses fasting, personalized nutrition, stress management, chemical detoxification, and lifestyle changes to optimize health and slow the aging process. Dr. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto’s: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto’s Protocol. Her latest book is Adrenal Transformation Protocol: A 4-Week Plan to Release Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving. Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, author of the bestselling book Intermittent Fasting Transformation, a two-time TEDx speaker, with her second talk having more than 14 million views, and the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, a consistent top iTunes podcast in Nutrition.

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, AG1, and Mitopure.  Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks and that taking statin drugs is the only way to reduce your risk of heart attacks, but now we know the science says otherwise. The good news is this: we have a lot more control than we originally thought when it comes to preventing and reversing heart disease. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Cindy Geyer, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, and Dr. Todd LePine about why we need to look beyond cholesterol levels to protect our hearts. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed her residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY, and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The UltraWellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years. Dr. Aseem Malhotra is an NHS-trained consultant cardiologist and visiting professor of evidence-based medicine at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. He is a founding member of Action on Sugar. He is a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK and in 2018 was ranked by software company Onalytica as the number one doctor in the world influencing obesity thinking. Dr. Malhotra's first book, The Pioppi Diet, coauthored with Donal O'Neill, was an international bestseller, and his next book, The 21-Day Immunity Plan, was also a Sunday Times top 10 bestseller. His new book is A Statin-Free Life. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is board certified in internal medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and AG1. About 30 years ago, when I became seriously ill with chronic fatigue syndrome, I felt like I simultaneously had dementia, depression, and ADD. My brain felt broken! That’s when I discovered Functional Medicine. One huge benefit I experienced when I reversed my chronic fatigue syndrome was how well my brain improved. Over the years, I fine-tuned my approach for a sharper, faster, and better brain.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking about things that can lead to a broken brain and my top strategies for improving brain health.  This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Athletic Greens.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, Mitopure, and AquaTru. ⁣⁣NAD has been popping up everywhere, and for good reason. It’s a fundamental driver of our health and longevity, and we’re now learning how boosting NAD levels might offset and improve the effects of aging.  On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Andrew Salzman all about NAD—how it is a key component involved in mitochondrial production, and is a critical substrate for several enzymes, including sirtuins, which play key roles in healthy aging, weight management, metabolic syndrome, and metabolism. Dr. Salzman is a physician, inventor, professor, and biomedical entrepreneur. Dr. Salzman received his medical degree from Harvard University and has spent decades in drug discovery and development, raising over $165M in NIH grants for research. In addition to 50 patents, Dr. Salzman is credited with a breakthrough discovery in cellular DNA repair, which led to the world's first clinical application for successfully treating breast cancer caused by mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Millions of patients are benefiting from discoveries by Dr. Salzman in areas including mitochondrial health, gastrointestinal microbiota, damage caused by inflammation and oxidative stress to human cells and DNA, autoimmune disease, and cancer.
