#388: Nat's Ultimate Gift Guide for Longevity Fans: Biohacks, Wellness Gadgets, and Black Friday Deals

My guest this week is Dr. Scott Sherr of Integrative Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). In this episode, Dr. Scott and I discuss Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, the many applications for it, and what to use in conjunction with HBOT for the best success. HBOT can be used for acute and chronic conditions however it should be done with someone who is very experienced in the field because it can have negative effects if the individual isn't yet ready for that type of therapy. HBOT is a treatment that utilizes two things: air/oxygen and pressure. These two factors can be particularly powerful in helping one's body heal and regenerate.

My guest this week is Suzanne F. Turner, MD of Vine Medical. In this episode, Dr. Turner and I discuss why the common treatments for depression are not always the needed treatments for depression. Depression can be rooted in SO many different health issues that are treatable which is why jumping straight to Prozac and other antidepressants is premature. We discuss treating depression with nutrition, hormone therapy, peptides, eliminating certain medications, addressing trauma, and so much more. This is not to say that antidepressants aren't needed at all. They can be helpful for some people however it is more important to treat the potential root causes of depression first, if more support is needed, then antidepressants can be warranted. Learn more about Dr. Turner at Vine Medical Associates here. BiOptimizers is launching their biggest sale of the entire year with a discount and bonus gifts.

Dr. Turner is a physician/teacher/speaker/urban farmer/salsero/powerlifter/wife/bonus mom/ and "Birdie" practicing human performance and longevity medicine in Atlanta, GA.

His product contains an assortment of ingredients that exhibit antioxidant properties 270 times stronger than Vitamin C, eliminate scar tissue, and rehabilitate injured tissues. The result is an increase in energy, alertness, and overall well-being. He has now made some tweaks with Neural RX which has a proprietary neural blend of lipofullerenes that support cognitive function and provide access to antioxidant protection for your body's mitochondria. Ian's company, Wizard Sciences, adheres to the strictest quality control standards that assure the purity of Neural RX. Unlike many other C60 producers, they are not just buying and mixing "off the shelf" components. They carefully test the Carbon60 assuring maximum purity and yield. This allows them to control all components of the supply chain as well as to perform periodic inspections at all stages of the process.
