She has tips for women at all stages: from active menstrual cycles to perimenopause to menopause.Cynthia is a Johns Hopkins-trained nurse practitioner and functional nutritionist founded and serves as CEO of Everyday Wellness Project. She holds a Master of Science degree in Nursing and Functional Nutrition certifications with advanced trainings in Endocrinology and Gastroenterology. Her career in healthcare includes nearly 20 years of emergency medicine and cardiology experience. She brings a broad perspective when working with women to improve the state of their health. “I really start from a foundational level talking to women about fasting,” Cynthia says. “It's really honoring our own unique physiology. It's leaning into that menstrual cycle. It's leaning into the lifestyle piece that so much of us forget to talk about with our patients, our sleep quality, stress management, anti-inflammatory nutrition, our exercise quality, our connection with nature, all of which are critically important.”She also addresses diet dogma that frustratingly persists, even with established and emerging science about the benefits of intermittent fasting.She tackles this outdated dogma (and a lot more!) in her new book, “Intermittent Fasting Transformation: The 45-Day Program for Women to Lose Stubborn Weight, Improve Hormonal Health, and Slow Aging.”“[Intermittent fasting] restores our intrinsic rhythms, burns fat, regenerates our health right down to the cellular level, and stabilizes our hormones,” Cynthia says in her book. “In turn, we are less likely to develop obesity, diabetes, vascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders.”At the end of this conversation, you’ll have the tools to decide if intermittent fasting is the right choice for the state of your own health.

What’s new right now, what’s emerging, and what’s on the horizon. He’s been a guest several times before (see the Links & Resources section below!) and there’s always something new to learn when he and Dave get together. This time, they explore testing the human biome.Naveen’s a guy with enormous vision who builds companies and partners with others to tackle and solve the gnarliest problems affecting the health of our people and planet. He always encourages curiosity and big thinking: ““Curiosity is what drives the humanity forward. The day you stop being curious is the day you die.”In this discussion, you’re going to learn ways innovation can change human biology from a micro and macro level—from your cellular health to broader planetary issues. You’ll also learn how you can test to find out what’s happening within your gut, cells and immune system. With that knowledge and personalized recommendations, you’ll have the power to change your health for the better.Naveen founded, Viome, the worlds’ largest database of microbial gene expression. Its AI-driven personalized therapeutics platform and applications identifies predictive markers of chronic diseases. Viome does this by using a functional analysis of microbial, mitochondrial and human gene expression. “We actually see everything,” Naveen explains. “As long as an organism is alive, we see it. So whether it is a bacteria, virus, fungus, mold, it doesn't matter. We see everything.”In particular, Viome’s Health Intelligence™ Test looks at:gut microbiomemitochondrial functionimmune cell functioncellular healthstress responsebiological ageThe more data can inform what’s happening inside of you, the more resources you’ll have to improve your health.More about Naveen Jain:Naveen wrote the award-winning book, Moonshots: Creating a World of Abundance and created Mindvalley, Masterclass programs.

She’s a Yale and Columbia University educated holistic psychiatrist board-certified in psychiatry and integrative holistic medicine. She’s also an acupuncturist and yoga teacher.In her new book, “The Anatomy of Anxiety: Understanding and Overcoming the Body's Fear Response,” she takes on anxiety, which hits more than 40 million people in any given year. The pandemic drove that number up even more. Even if math isn’t your strong suit, you can understand these numbers:An estimated one out of every nine people, or 800 million people, suffer from a mental health disorder, the most common of which is anxiety. Up to 33.7 percent of Americans are affected by an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. Conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a “neck up” problem of brain chemistry and psychology. Dr. Vora disagrees. She suggests that various physiologic inputs influence anxiety symptoms. “What we've been indoctrinated with is this idea that our mental health is genetically determined chemical imbalance,” Dr. Vora says. “There's some validity to that, although I think, for the most part, any chemical imbalance is often a downstream effect of a state of imbalance happening elsewhere in the physical body.”In this episode, you’ll learn:the difference between avoidable, purposeful, false and true anxiety;simple strategies for tuning into “true” anxiety and using its benefits;how your body may be physiologically out of balance (immunity, gut health, inflammation);how “hanxiety” means that blood sugar is affecting your anxiety; actionable lifestyle factors to bring yourself back into balance; how to manage medication withdrawl; and how to reframe your understanding of, and relationship with, anxiety.Dr. Vora also confronts what she calls techxiety. This can include a boundaryless workplace, how the posture of screen use signals your body for anxiety, and, of course, social media. Research shows social media is associated with higher rates of anxiety and depression. Just 20 minutes of Facebook can impact mood.So much of how you live your life as an adult profoundly impacts how your mental health manifests, and that's the part you can control.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...… Dave talks with Cindy Fraley-Hunter about system-level inflammation and her fear of having an early heart attack like her father because they have such similar genes.Cindy thought she was healthy until after the birth of her daughter at 42. She was constantly tired. Her physician told her that was just to be expected because she was a geriatric pregnancy. That unhelpful advice ignored her body functioning and lacked actionable solutions.She then survived a case of MRSA and received Hashimoto’s and rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis. She continued to have high cholesterol and a high CAD calcium heart score. She’s scared her life will be cut short.Feeling like conventional medicine is failing her, Cindy has turned to supplements instead of prescription drugs. She says she’s “embracing biohacking to save my life.”In this “Interventions With Dave” episode, Dave walks Cindy through her most recent labs and other test results.

The Part 1 episode #913 explores the scientific perspective with microbiologist and geneticist Andrew Hessel.Amy and Andrew recently authored, “The Genesis Machine: Our Quest to Rewrite Life in the Age of Synthetic Biology.” SYNBIO is the promising and controversial technology platform that combines biology and artificial intelligence. Amy investigates what SYNBIO means for people, commerce and the planet. “This is a book about science,” Amy describes, “but I did not want to write a science book. This is also a business book. It's an understanding-your-own-body book.”She’s a futurist who works with data and does predictive modeling. Her academic background includes game theory and economicsAmy founded the Future Today Institute to help companies understand the forces that will shape their futures. She’s a professor of strategic foresight at the NYU Stern School of Business and a Visiting Fellow at Oxford University’s Säid School of Business. She writes extensively about biotechnology, artificial intelligence, technology policy, and business strategy.“This emerging field of science—synthetic biology—promises to reveal how life is created and how it can be recreated, for many varied purposes, as explained in “The Genesis Machine:”to help us heal without prescription medications, to grow meat without harvesting animals, and to engineer our families when nature fails us.With SYNBO developments come a slew of considerations about how to manage it responsibly.“For the most part, in the US, the regulation is on the end product,” Amy says. “Nobody wants to regulate the process, because we don't want to hamper innovation. However, it does start to raise some gnarly questions when we're talking about alternative uses or different uses for some of these technologies, or cross-border use.”“There's some alignment globally on what's called germline editing, which is when you edit the genome to make it heritable. So whatever that is passes on. At the moment, just about 190 countries have aligned [to agree] that they don't want that to happen. But outside of that, there's a lot of confusion.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Part 2 on episode #914 explores the futurist perspective with Amy.Ask yourself, if you could edit your genes—to fix infertility, diabetes or even depression—would you do it? That’s the premise, and the promise, of synthetic biology. And a reality you’ll have to wrestle with. To make these decisions intelligently requires a deeper—and urgent—understanding of what’s happening in science.Right now, scientists are rewriting the rules of our reality. They can use computers to gain access to the cells of any living organism and write new, potentially better, biological code. Andrew—a microbiologist and geneticist—works on the leading edge of genomics and bioinformatics. He’s been immersed in the world of synthetic biology for years and joins the show to explain new advancements.As a scientist, communicator, and investor, he explores the future of biology and biotechnology. He co-founded the Center of Excellence for Engineering Biology and the Genome Project-write. The Genome Project-write is an international scientific effort that designs and builds large genomes, including the human genome. As we embrace that life no longer will be a game of chance, it will be the result of design, selection and choice, morechoices have to be made. Decisions like who gets to program life, create new life forms, and even bring former life back from extinction?“The Genesis Machine" is a book about science, but it's not written for scientists, Andrew says. “It's about some amazing people and stories and we've got some fun scenarios that help you think about where some of this stuff is going. But really, this is a technology that we're all building day by day.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
