Acne is the 8th most common disease globally. With a tight link to depression, low self-esteem, and anxiety, it's important to get to the root cause of acne. Acne sucks, but might it actually be a sign from our body telling us there's something wrong? Something which could hold the solution to our facial ailments?

Having struggled with acne for all of my teenage years and my early 20s, I have experimented with every possible nutritional supplement and have finally figured it out.

In this episode I discuss

• What exactly is and what causes acne?
• Do hormones––specifically androgens––cause acne?
• How a 1995 clinical trial led me to resolve my acne by questioning the hormone theory of acne
• Supplements you have likely never heard of for treating and eliminating acne

Imagine not knowing what being healthy felt like. For as long as you can remember, every morning you’ve woken up feeling exhausted. Every week you’d get sick. A simple activity like taking a shower was painful. This is often the case for children growing up with chronic diseases, and is the story told by my guest Amanda Elise Love. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at a young age, leaving her unable to do normal everyday activities. Since then, she has taken control of her health and has found ways to mitigate and reverse her symptoms through lifestyle interventions.

Amanda Elise Love is a registered holistic nutritionist. Amanda’s podcast: https://apple.co/2TgYURy

Let’s be real, we all pretty much know how to eat healthier. We know that we should exercise a few times per week. But why don’t we do it? We can google anything we want at a second’s notice.

Until recently, I never thought the title of this episode could be true. Most of us have heard the common narrative too often: “Eat less meat, save the planet”. But is it actually true? I interviewed Dr. Peter Ballerstedt to find out if meat is a good option if we care about global health.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How becoming a healthier person has a greater environmental impact than going vegan
• Why Dr. Ballerstedt is obsessed with ruminants
• Why you can get less protein than it says on the nutrition label
• Most of the globe is already plant based and why Dr. Ballerstedt doesn’t think going vegan is the solution to human or planetary health
• What are the problems with the food supply?

Next on the podcast series “What did humans evolve to eat?” I had Professors Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer on the podcast.

Professor David Raubenheimer is a leading expert in nutritional ecology which looks at how an animal’s nutritional environment interacts with its biology to affect health and fitness. ****Professor Stephen Simpson is Academic Director of the Charles Perkins Centre, a Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, and Executive Director of Obesity Australia. Both of these leading scientists have developed an integrative approach for nutrition called the Geometric Framework, which was devised and tested using insects but is now being applied to many other animals, including humans.

In this episode we discuss

• How much protein did humans evolve to eat?
• Why do animals instinctively know what to eat and why do humans find nutrition so difficult?
• What happens when there is not enough protein in our diets?
• What is the protein leverage hypothesis and how does it affect weight gain or weight loss?
• Their book “Eat Like the Animals”

"Death by a thousand paper cuts". When I heard Dr. Olivia Lesslar use that phrase to describe how most people are affected by the modern lifestyle, I knew I had to work it into the title. Indeed, the the chronic disease epidemic which has resulted from the way most people live their lives does not have one single cause, but rather a multifaceted conglomerate of root causes, and can often be additive.

Dr. Olivia Lesslar, MBBS, is passionate about mobilising patients to take control of their health; focusing on sleep, movement, nutrition, and mindset as the core pillars of their well-being. Olivia provides a comprehensive evaluation of each patient, looking beyond their diagnosis and symptoms, and taking a whole-systems approach, to gain insights into the root cause.

In this episode we discuss

• A deeper dive into histamine, the benefits of antihistamines, and a shocking danger of chronic antihistamine use
• Why Dr. Lesslar calls the modern lifestyle "Death by a thousand paper cuts"
• The problem with abusing antibiotics
• Why doctors are not the gatekeepers to health and why people should take their health into their own hands

The short answer is, most don't. Some probiotics boast billions of CFUs, while others brag about the sheer quantity of different species contained within. The truth is, more is NOT better. In addition, most of these probiotics do not even make it to your large and small intestines and are instead destroyed by your stomach acid, rendering them virtually useless. Joining me today is Dr. Tom Bayne, President of Microbiome Labs, to speak all about a revolutionary new type of probiotic which seems to bypass many of these concerns

In this episode we discuss

- The problem with most probiotics on the market

- Why a good probiotic does NOT have to be refrigerated

- How the composition of your gut microbiome can influence the severity of CV-19

- What must an effective probiotic be able to address?

- Hippocrates was right––most diseases do begin in the gut, from autoimmune issues, neuropsychiatric disorders to metabolic health

I’ll be doing the first of a new series called: Micronutrient Spotlight. This week will be part 1 of 2 discussing all things Magnesium. If you’ve heard any of my podcasts or read my book, you’ve likely heard of the wide-ranging health effects of magnesium for certain populations. This series is my humble attempt to compile the latest research about magnesium.

Shownotes at https://livedamnwell.com/magnesium1/

Here’s what I discuss in part 1

• What is magnesium and why is it relevant?
• What does magnesium have to do with obesity, type 2 diabetes, depression, dementia, and athletic performance? 
• Why does testing blood levels of magnesium not accurately reflect your body’s magnesium stores?
• How to test for magnesium accurately

In this episode, we cover:

• How dysfunction of the nervous system is connected to the gastrointestinal (GI) system, digestion, and more
• Why "boosting" your immune system is the wrong way of going about long term health
• Why Dr. Tressler believes in our "innate" ability to heal from many diseases
• Why a severe case of COVID-19 may not be Russian Roulette. Although genetics can play a role in risk of developing severe COVID-19, we might not be looking at ALL of the lifestyle risk factors combined, such as sleep, stress, micronutrient status, metabolic health, and environmental toxins. According to the CDC, 94% of COVID-19 deaths had at least one underlying health condition, many of which are lifestyle based

Unfortunately, the mainstream view of health is often limited by nutrition and fitness.

While those two are without a doubt important, there's much more to health than how much you move and how much you put in your mouth.

In this Jungle Talk, I talk about the health effects of light exposure, a forgotten pillar of health.

In this episode, I discuss:

• How light causes cancer––but likely not in the way you're thinking
• How different frequencies of light have different effects on health
• How sunlight is a major control center of our immune health and circadian rhythm and how to reap the full benefits of the sunlight safely
• Using artificial light to simulate the light our hunter gatherer ancestors were exposed to

For most people, I can imagine the answer is likely a resounding no. In fact, only around 40% of Americans are looking forward to old age (https://www.statista.com/chart/17019/looking-forward-to-old-age/).

I was recently in Costa Rica (thus "Jungle Talks"), where I met a pretty remarkable man who made me look forward to old age. Why? Well, I was close to Nicoya which is a well known Blue Zone––a hotspot of longevity, with a disproportionate amount of healthy centenarians. Though this humble cacao farmer I met doesn't technically qualify as a centenarian (he's 93 years old), he's pretty damn close.

As a friend and I stepped onto his property, a frail-looking, fairly short elderly man greeted us with a machete in hand. I immediately saw that he was mentally sharp, as he cracked joke after joke with an aliveness in his voice which is often absent from elderly people.

Though his age in itself is impressive, his physical health was equally, if not more impressive. So naturally, we asked him his secrets to a long, healthy, and fulfilling life.

For scientific references and resources check out the shownotes at: https://livedamnwell.com/defy-aging

In this episode I cover:

• What this Costa Rican man does to support his longevity from diet and sleep to mindset and community
• What the long-lived Blue Zone populations have in common
• Why a rice and beans diet isn't the be all end all
• How emotions influence gene expression
• What does the scientific research say about anti-aging and longevity practices?

In today's episode, my guest Catharine Arnston, CEO of EnergyBits and speaker, sheds light on a little known food which I believe does indeed deserve the title of superfood. Packed with B vitamins, vitamin A, iron, and chlorophyll, chlorella and spirulina are two amazing plant foods which are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, other than organ meats of course.

After Catharine's sister was diagnosed with cancer, Catharine searched for dietary interventions to help strengthen her sister's immune system while she underwent chemo (she's now fully recovered). Through her intensive deep dive into the scientific literature, she came across two foods endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient-dense foods. Years later she founded EnergyBits, a third party tested, sustainable, organic, and carbon-negative company which sought to make algae available to as many people as possible.

So, regardless of whether you're Paleo, Keto, Vegan, or still following the Standard American Diet (SAD), these two types of algae can be very beneficial for anyone looking to upgrade their nutrition, athletic performance, sleep, and immunity.

In this episode we cover

- A battle with cancer and Catharine's search for a nutritional intervention

- Why the United Nations and NASA endorse spirulina and chlorella as the most nutrient-dense foods and the answer to world hunger

- Why most Americans are NOT getting the micronutrients we used to get from food just a few decades ago...

- How Spirulina and Chlorella are being studied as a nutritional strategy to lessen severe cases of COVID-19 and treat patients

- How EnergyBits Spirulina and Chlorella can fit into nearly anyone's lifestyle to improve their health

Bill travels the world documenting traditional food ways and works to draw inspiration from the deep archaeological record, diverse ethnographic record, and modern culinary world to create food solutions that are relevant, meaningful, and accessible today. His work specifically focuses on HOW we should eat instead of simply the type of food we should eat for optimal health. Bill is a strong advocate of traditional foodways and is constantly seeking new ways to incorporate lessons learned from his research into the diets of modern humans including his own family. Bill resides with his wife and three teenaged children in Maryland.

From the time we go to elementary school to the time we graduate college, we're heavily indoctrinated with the idea that if you hope to have any life at all, you must slave yourself to the system: get good grades, go to college for a degree you don't know you want (and you probably won't use), pay off student loans until you're 40 years old, and work long hours for a reliable biweekly paycheck... up until your 60s when you get to retire. And the little time you have left on this planet will be spent frugally... Inspiring, isn't it?

Today, I'm excited to share an insightful episode I had with Krisstina Wise, financial health coach, real estate mogul, and owner of several multi-million dollar businesses. After nearly losing her life in 2013 and spending almost half a million dollars to recover, her mission is now to inspire others to build extraordinary wealth and optimal health.

Shownotes at https://livedamnwell.com/wealth

––––––––––––––––––––––––––

In this episode we cover:

• Why health and wealth seem to be in direct opposition to each other––you're either getting healthy or you're getting rich
• To college or not to college? Alternatives to the mainstream path of college
• Money mindset: how to rid yourself of the limiting beliefs surrounding money (which you probably got from your parents)
• The difference between getting rich and becoming wealthy and why you should focus on the latter

My guest today is a repeat guest on the podcast (check out the episode we did on vitamin D) : Dr. Joel Gould, a Canadian dentist with over 30 years of experience in the US and Canada. After struggling with Crohn’s Disease for most of his life and being told by doctors there was simply nothing he could do, he slowly stumbled across the solutions. Since then, Dr. Gould successfully reversed Crohn’s disease and now works to raise awareness for ancestral living in a modern world through his platform Modern Hunter Gatherers.

Join us for part 2 of “COVID Kills Healthy People?”, in which we continue to discuss the “ultimate dichotomy”of appearance vs health.

After discussing what people often identify as a “healthy” appearance, we delve into true markers of health that often go unseen. These markers are relative and applicable, so changing them is easy and doesn’t require any fancy or expensive "biohacking". We dive into the endogenous antioxidant glutathione, Vitamin D, fasting insulin and much more in this episode. And to tie it all together, we explain why these are ever more relevant during the time of the infamous sub-microscopic agent (CV19).

In the midst of a worldwide panic over a submicroscopic agent, much misinformation has circulated. The one we're here to focus on is reporting of CV19-positive "healthy" people getting knocked on their butt. But are these jacked fitness enthusiasts actually healthy? What does healthy even mean? And how can we look to modern-day hunter gatherers for answers?
