The Dirty Secret Behind Ozempic: How It Wrecks Your Gut (Here’s How to Fix It) | Hannah Kleinfeld : 1265

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... …you’re listening to a new Upgrade Spotlight series based on what you told me you wanted to hear on this podcast. On one Friday each month, these shorter episodes will feature guests who’ll get right into useful information in a Q&A style. You’ll find out how to improve your energy and upgrade your performance. You’ll also get the latest knowledge about powerful tools and technologies that allow you to change your biology and the environment around you. Introducing Xero Shoes! During this Upgrade Spotlight, you’ll learn how minimalist footwear reduces injury, improves foot strength and supports healthy feet. You’ll learn that getting grounded is a good thing.Today’s guest—serial entrepreneur Steven Sashen—is a competitive sprinter. He knows the mechanics of human feet. He also knows what it feels like to move in shoes that suck. So, he and his wife, Lena Phoenix, founded the footwear company Xero Shoes. They ran headlong into shoe history and shoe science to intentionally create “a MOVEMENT movement” of people with happy, healthy, strong feet in addictively comfortable footwear. “A quarter of the bones and joints of your whole body are in your feet and ankles,” Steven says. “They're supposed to bend and move and flex just like any other joint. If you're wearing shoes that don't let them do that, that function tries unsuccessfully to move into your ankle, your knee, your hip and your back joints. Those joints aren't built for those micro motions that keep you balanced, that give you agility and mobility.”Your feet, and by design the rest of your body, know something’s off with cushioned shoes. So does Steven.“The value of natural movement, the importance of foot health, and all the things that relate to foot health got me going,” he says. “But what really catalyzed it was discovering that what the footwear industry has been doing for 50 years is lying to people– selling people on ideas that they know don't work, but they can't pull back. They can't tell a different story, because they've been promoting this story for so long about arch support, motion control, padding, cushioning, etc.” Research published by the American College of Sports Medicine in 2021, “Stepping Back to Minimal Footwear: Applications Across the Lifespan," showed that minimal footwear leads to improved musculoskeletal health across your lifetime. “It’s all about natural motion,” Steven explains. “Our ancestors didn't have a problem being on their feet all day, every day. It wasn't because they're different from us, it was just that they got used to using their feet correctly. We can still do that any day, anytime, any of age.”CHECK OUT XERO SHOES and the 5,000-MILE SOLE WARRANTY!

Fatigue is a hidden epidemic, with chronic fatigue syndrome being the most severe end, but most people (in the U.S.) are experiencing some level of being flat-out tired as hell.Guest Ari Whitten, Ph.D. (Cand.), CES, PES, says that as a culture, we have normalized fatigue. In his newest book, “EAT FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy,” he explains that 5.4 million adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (the most severe case of fatigue). However, the true fatigue epidemic affects 50 to 100 times more people.This episode’s discussion gets right into the role of mitochondria in human energy. Ari’s research (420 citations in “Eat for Energy”!] is clear. The cause of fatigue is mitochondrial dysfunction, he says. And the biggest factors that affect your mitochondria include:Circadian rhythm dysregulation and poor sleep Carrying too much body fat and too little muscle mass Poor gut and microbiome health Blood sugar dysregulation Nutritional toxicities and deficiencies Neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances So what can you do to increase your energy currency? A lot, as it turns out. When you understand factors like resilience, cell defense, nutrition and supplementation, you’re on your way to better energy. In this conversation, you’ll learn:what’s causing the dysfunction in your mitochondria and how you can repair these critical energy cells. strategies that will double your energy levels. 7 top supplements (and more) that help get your mitochondria back on the energy track. Ari has been studying and teaching natural health science for more than 25 years. He went through his own battle with chronic fatigue that inspired his obsession with energy. For the past seven years, he's focused specifically on improving human energy. His education and work in this area touches on critical aspects of human health from nutrition to physical training, to light science, to psychology, and more. He created The Energy Blueprint science-based lifestyle programs that target brain energy and mitochondria. He also hosts The Energy Blueprint podcast that features world-wide experts on the subject of understanding fatigue and how to get more energy.

That should create your weekly programming.”You already know, and Magnus will remind you, that there are absolutely no life shortcuts to being the superhero of your own life.In this conversation, you’ll find out how much time to spend on your workouts (not as much as you think). “What doesn’t happen in the first hour will not happen in the second,” he says frequently.
