We emphasize the need to open the doors of detoxification before initiating any detox protocol and highlight the role of the liver, kidneys, bile flow, and drainage pathways in the detoxification process. Our conversation explains the concept of Herxheimer reactions and provides insights into how to manage them.    We talk about the use of specific supplements, such as liposomes, binders, bitters, and progesterone, to support detoxification and address specific issues like mold exposure and viral infections.

To get therapeutic benefits, it's best to take curcumin in supplement form rather than just using turmeric in cooking. The supplement should contain an extract that concentrates the curcuminoids. Absorption is enhanced by including black pepper extract (piperine) and healthy fats.

Have you ever wondered what the key is to maintaining muscle mass and promoting health? In my latest podcast episode, I discuss the world of essential amino acids (EAAs) and their crucial role in building and preserving muscle, supporting vitality, and promoting overall health and longevity with Angelo Keely.   Our conversation goes over the fact that essential amino acids are not just building blocks for protein synthesis, but they also act as powerful signaling molecules that stimulate muscle growth and prevent breakdown. This means that consuming the right balance of EAAs can help you maintain muscle mass, reduce fatigue, and recover more efficiently from exercise or injury, regardless of your age. Angelo and I talk about the wide-ranging applications of EAAs, from the NASA protocol for preventing muscle loss in astronauts to the use of EAAs in clinical settings for injury recovery. You'll gain practical tips on optimizing your EAA intake, the best sources of EAAs, and how to incorporate them into your daily routine for maximum benefits.   Angelo Keely started Kion in 2017 in Boulder, Colorado, with the dream of building the healthiest, most inspiring work culture at the heart of a fast-growth, consumer products company that would be focused on motivating customers to go further on their personal health journey. The results have been astounding. Since 2017, Kion has developed many of the highest-possible quality supplements on the market and cultivated an incredibly passionate team.   Shop at www.getkion.com/longevity to get up to 20% off Kion Amino Acids   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: Quicksilver: Visit quicksilverscientific.com/nat and use code Nat for 10% off your first purchase of PushCatch® Liver Detox.

In weight loss efforts, it is important to consume enough protein and essential amino acids to maintain muscle mass. Essential amino acid supplements can be a convenient way to ensure adequate intake and support muscle health. Essential amino acids promote muscle building and maintenance, making them beneficial for athletes and individuals of all ages.

Could the health of your skin be one of the best predictors of chronic disease risk and mortality?    In today’s episode of The Longevity Podcast, Kiran Krishnan and I discuss how aging and dysfunction of skin, driven by changes in the skin microbiome, may actually precede and contribute to unhealthiness in the body, rather than simply reflecting it.

Do you get enough sunlight? Most of us don't get adequate exposure to the sun's beneficial rays.    In today’s episode, I sit down with Gerardo Gutierrez (Guti), the creator of an innovative UV light device that mimics the healing properties of natural sunlight by delivering red, infrared, and UVB light frequencies in a specially formulated sequence. Guti shares insights from his research into how these different light bands impact our biology and overall well-being. Strategic sunlight exposure provides a wide range of health benefits - from boosting vitamin D, serotonin, and testosterone levels to improving conditions like eczema and psoriasis.    Overall, this conversation provides a nuanced understanding of light and its impact on our health. We discuss the benefits of light therapy and the MitoLux device.    A few years ago, Guti went through depression, low vitamin D levels, and other health issues. Instead of staying on medication long-term, he discovered the therapeutic benefits of sunlight exposure. Taking daily sunbaths allowed him to get off antidepressants and testosterone replacement therapy within just 3 months. Now Guti is on a mission to educate others about getting their "daily dose of sunshine" through strategic light exposure, whether from the sun itself or his therapeutic UV light invention.   To learn more about Mitolux go to Mitolux.com and use code Longevity10   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible: UBLOCKOUT: Visit: UBLOCKOUT.com and use code NAT10 to save on your Ultimate Blackout Shade order.

Infrared light has protective effects and can neutralize free radicals created by UV exposure. UVA rays are linked to skin aging and certain types of cancer, while UVB rays can cause sunburn but also trigger the production of vitamin D and serotonin. The MitoLux device emits UVB light and is designed to provide the optimal dose for health benefits.
