This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Joovv, Pendulum, and Super Simple Protein.  Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of each cell in the body. Unfortunately, our modern diet and lifestyle compromise our mitochondria, which results in suboptimal function of the brain and other organs, reduced energy levels, and even cancer. Luckily, there are science-based practices like cold water therapy that we can do to improve the mitochondrial function of our cells, reduce inflammation, support the immune system, boost metabolism, and more. In today’s episode, I talk with Drs. Chris Rinsch and Stuart Phillips, Wim Hof, Dr. Susanna Søberg, and Dr. Steven Gundry about how to improve the mitochondrial function of our cells, reduce inflammation, and more. Dr. Chris Rinsch is the cofounder and CEO of Amazentis, an innovative life science company dedicated to employing breakthrough research and clinical science to bring advanced therapeutic nutrition products to life. Dr. Stuart Phillips is a professor in the Department of Kinesiology and a member of the School of Medicine at McMaster University. Wim Hof, also known as “The Iceman,” holds multiple world records for his feats of endurance and exposure to cold, and he is the author of The Wim Hof Method: Activate Your Full Human Potential. Dr. Susanna Søberg has a PhD in metabolism and specializes in functional breathing and cold and heat exposure for health optimization. She is the founder and CEO of the Soeberg Institute, where she teaches people how to “stress up to stress down” using natural stressors. Dr. Steven Gundry is one of the world’s top cardiothoracic surgeons and a pioneer in nutrition as well as a medical director at the International Heart and Lung Institute Center for Restorative Medicine.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, and Super Simple Grassfed Protein. It’s time to think about immunity in a new way. There’s been a lot of focus recently on “boosting” your immune system. However, boosting immunity merely exaggerates all the defects of an aging immune system, whereas rejuvenation reboots immunity from your cells up. Rejuvenation is way more foundational and longer lasting than a basic boost because it uses your built-in programming to rebalance and optimize that system’s function.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I dive into immuno-rejuvenation—what it is, how it happens in the body, and my top strategies for switching it on.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Super Simple Grassfed Protein.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, LMNT, and Cozy Earth. Heart disease is still the number one killer in the world, yet most people don’t actually understand what markers put them most at risk.  The general consensus is there are two types of cholesterol—the good and the bad—the good is thought to be high-density lipoproteins or HDL, and the bad is low-density lipoproteins or LDL. But we now know from research that it's much more complicated than that—there are actually various sizes and densities of these lipoproteins.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to one of the leading lipidologists, Dr. Ronald Krauss, all about lipoproteins, what they do in the body, what they mean for heart disease risk, and why a typical lipid panel alone is insufficient. Dr. Krauss is a Senior Scientist at Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute, a Professor of Medicine at UCSF, and an Adjunct Professor of Nutritional Sciences at UC Berkeley. Dr. Krauss’s research aims to understand how to best prevent cardiovascular disease through early detection and management of its major risk factors: most notably, elevated levels of blood cholesterol and lipoproteins. He has published over 450 research articles and reviews on metabolic, genetic, dietary, and drug effects on plasma lipoproteins and the risk of coronary artery disease, with over 100,000 citations of this work.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa University, Mitopure, Levels, and Super Simple Protein.  Fatty liver is a dangerous yet misunderstood disease that is growing more and more common, and its effects are numerous. Fatty liver happens when fat replaces your liver cells and thereby compromises its important functions, thus increasing inflammation in the body. Surprisingly, it is not fat that causes a fatty liver, but sugar and starch. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Robert Lustig, and Shawn Stevenson about the importance of our liver and how to support it. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Robert Lustig is a neuroendocrinologist with expertise in metabolism, obesity, and nutrition. He’s the Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology and a member of the Institute for Health Policy Studies at UCSF. He is also one of the leaders of the current “anti-sugar” movement that is changing the food industry, in part through his game-changing books. Shawn Stevenson is the author of the international bestselling book Sleep Smarter and creator of The Model Health Show, featured as the number one health podcast in the US, with millions of listener downloads each year. A graduate of the University of Missouri–St. Louis, Shawn studied business, biology, and nutritional science and went on to found Advanced Integrative Health Alliance, a company that provides wellness services for individuals and organizations worldwide.

Our gut bacteria regulate many of our bodily functions, from creating vitamins to regulating our immune system, our brain function, and of course, our metabolism and weight. They are critical to our long-term health. One such bacteria is Akkermansia muciniphila, which accounts for 1%–5% of our gut microbiome—or at least it’s supposed to!  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I dive into Akkermansia—what it is, what role it plays in chronic disease prevention, and what you can do to increase it.
