#413 Longevity Scientist Breaks Down What Causes Aging of Cells - Matt Kaeberlein PhD

Did you know that 90% of your body is made of non-human bacterial life-forms? The microbiome, microbe species, the mitochondria, and who knows what else... YES! You're made of only 10% human cells! There is no "just you".You're a massive superorganism - a vessel for an abundance of life and thriving. Most of the health disorders have to do with an imbalance in the microbiome and the digestive system."All disease begins in the gut", said Hippocrates, and modern research supports that claim. That's the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land and our guest is Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride. She's a medical doctor with 2 degrees: Master of Medical Sciences in Neurology and Master of Medical Sciences in Human Nutrition.  Dr. Campbell-McBride is known for developing the concept of GAPS (Gut And Psychology Syndrome), which describes the symptoms of common mental diseases caused by an improper digestive system.     Topics Discussed:- What is gut and psychology syndrome? 01:50- What causes gut and psychology syndrome and autism? 05:50- What things damage your gut in modern society 14:05- Why gluten isn't the issue - it's the gut 20:40- What is the GAPS diet 26:30- What is the human digestive tract designed to digest 38:30- Plant-based diets and gut health 49:45- Detox symptoms 01:00:00    And much more...

"I ate over 450 grams of fat and I watched my cholesterol levels DROP!"... Not something you'd expect to hear someone say, not to mention actually happen in a healthy body. For decades we've been told that saturated fat and cholesterol are dangerous for you, causing heart disease, clogging the arteries, and making you diabetic. However, new research over the past few years has disputed this notion as we gradually improve our understanding of cholesterol. In fact, people with higher levels of cholesterol have a lower risk of heart disease, whereas people with lower cholesterol have increased mortality rates. How crazy is that? People who go on a low carb high fat diet tend to see an increase in cholesterol as well, in both the LDL (the "bad") and HDL (the "good"). However, their triglyceride levels tend to drop, which prevents them from becoming diseased.  That's the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast with Siim Land. Our guest is Dave Feldman who's an engineer, a citizen scientist, and a low carb advocate. His research on cholesterol in ketogenic diets has revealed a lot of insight into the functioning of this essential nutrient that even professional medical practitioners are beginning to implement.  Topics Discussed: What is the Role of Cholesterol - 04:18 Does Cholesterol Clog Your Arteries - 08:17 Difference Between LDL and HDL Cholesterol - 11:50 What Is Remnant Cholesterol - 15:02 Why Your Cholesterol Can Go Up on a Ketogenic Diet - 20:00 What is the Feldman Protocol - 25:08 Are You a Lean Mass Hyper Responder - 46:20 Why Doctors Are Afraid of Cholesterol Still - 57:00   And much more...

Did you know that even just a few nights of poor sleep gives you the blood sugar levels of a diabetic? Getting less than ideal amounts of sleep decreases your alertness, memory, intelligence, and mood... The craziest thing about it is that you'll get used to sleep deprivation and after a while, you think that your cognitive haze and sleepiness are normal, whereas your brain is simply compensating for lack of sleep When it comes to health and wellness, then sleep is the most important thing. Your brain literally heals itself only during deep sleep and most diseases of modern life can get traced back to poor sleep patterns That's the topic of today's Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land but this episode isn't actually going to be on the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast.

In future episodes, you can expect me to stay on for the full time. This show is hosted by Teemu Arina and Olli Sovijärvi who are talking to Daniel Pardi. Dan is the CEO of Human.OS and he's a sleep expert and human optimizer.
