| 21 Dec 2021 | Episode #74: Elevate Your Mind with Kava - Better Calm, Focus, and Mood | 01:33:03 | |
My guest this week is Cameron George of TRU KAVA. In this episode, Cameron and I discuss his long journey to find his health and how Kava helped him heal. We cover frequently asked questions about Kava such as what kind of Kava is best, how to dose Kava, can you overdose with Kava, why do people use Kava, is Kava addicting, and more. Learn more about Kava and purchase Kava at https://gettrukava.com/ and use discount code nat15 for 15% off Cameron shares his all too familiar story of a young and healthy individual whose health, all of the sudden, seems to betray them. He dealt with brain fog, memory loss, depression, multiple chemical sensitivities, severe gut issues, seizures, extreme reactions to food and water, and debilitating fatigue. He had tried many different western and alternative medicine options. So many things promise to be the panacea but did not help. Once he tried treating multiple systems at once, he started to make progress. The use of Kava in combination with other therapies made the biggest difference. Kava has mild entheogenic effects similar to psilocybin. Kava promotes calm, focus, interconnectivity, mental clarity, and so much more. In many cultures it’s used as a community drink much like alcohol is in our culture. Kava is non-addictive and does not throw your body out of balance as alcohol does. One of the main objectives people have about kava is the potential liver damage we hear about. Cameron covers the reasons why that is not an issue especially with the whole plant synergistically like it was traditionally meant to be used. Many people know that with CBD they react better when using a full spectrum product so it makes sense it would be the same with Kava. BioOptimizers is launching their biggest sale of the entire year with a discount and bonus gifts. Visit www.magnesiumbreakthrough.com/bionat and use promo code “bionat” at checkout for 10% off.

| 24 Oct 2023 | Episode #185: Unlocking the Secrets of the GABA Neurotransmitter with Dr. Scott Sherr | 01:18:22 | |
Why is GABA, a neurotransmitter that's vital for regulating our feelings, emotions, thoughts, and experiences, often overlooked in the world of neuroscience?
In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman podcast, I ponder this question with Dr. Scott Sherr, a repeat guest, who unravels the mystery surrounding GABA’s key role in our mental well-being. We venture into the complex labyrinth of the GABA system, elucidating its significance in controlling the firing of neurons, its connection to a leaky blood-brain barrier, and the implications for those of us entrenched in the hustle and bustle of life.
Dr. Sherr and I also put under the microscope the intriguing world of supplements and drugs. We peel back the layers on how they interact with the GABA system and the potential mental health risks they harbor. From the influences of alcohol, Xanax, barbiturates, and sleep drugs on the GABA system to natural alternatives, we left no stone unturned. Moreover, if you're on SSRIs, you might find our explorations on supporting the GABA system and rebalancing emotions, thoughts, and feelings very enlightening.
In the concluding part of our conversation, we touch upon the intriguing effects of nicotinol GABA, THC, and CBD. We assess the potential benefits of Trozzy, an innovative sleep aid supplement. As the saying goes, 'Sleep is the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.' Therefore, we also shed light on the importance of good sleep habits and natural ways to enhance the GABA system. Join us for this exciting conversation with Dr. Sherr, and get a deeper understanding of how to optimize your brain's functioning and mental health.

| 02 Apr 2024 | Episode #224: The Negative Effects of Environmental Toxins on Hormone Health (and how to correct them) with Dr. Anna Cabeca. | 01:06:01 | |
If you’re struggling with a hormone imbalance, resist the temptation to just throw more hormones into the mix to try and fix it.
In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Dr. Anna Cabeca - The Girlfriend Doctor, about how environmental toxins and stress can wreak havoc on your hormones, leading to issues like irregular periods and feeling unwell. But, did you know that it can take more than hormones to fix hormones.
The good news? You can improve your hormonal health and even reverse many of these issues naturally. We explore the importance of detoxification to eliminate those toxins and support your body's natural systems. Dr. Cabeca also highlights that birth control pills might contribute to hormonal imbalances due to synthetic ingredients. But hormones are just one piece of the puzzle. This episode emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach, including diet, stress management, and even creating a more alkaline body environment to improve mood and mental well-being.
We also dive into the power of oxytocin, the "love hormone" and how healthy activities can naturally boost your oxytocin levels. Overall, this episode offers guidance on balancing hormone health whether you’re pre-, peri-, or post-menopause.
Anna Cabeca, DO, OBGYN, FACOG, is the best selling author of The Hormone Fix , Keto-Green 16 and MenuPause. Dr. Anna is triple-board certified and a fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine.

In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I discuss the medicinal mushroom - Lion’s Mane and 10 different benefits that have come from supplementing it. I love Lion’s Mane for its well-known cognitive benefits, but studies are showing many other improvements in areas like nerve damage, depression, moods, and inflammation.
I also dive into how to use it and why the sourcing of Lion’s Mane matters based on the benefits you want from it. The current studies are showing that dosing matters, as well as how the compound is extracted from the mushroom.
Overall, this episode offers information on navigating the mushroom supplement, what current studies are saying for healthy participants, and how I like to incorporate it into my day.

| 06 Sep 2022 | Episode #113: The Healing Power of Ozone for Our Bodies & Planet | 01:07:35 | |
My guest this week is Eileen Durfee of Creatrix Solutions. In this episode, Eileen and I discuss all the questions you could possibly have about the healing powers of ozone. Are you looking to reduce your toxic load? Have chronic Candida or chronic infection? Are you worried about getting sick from contaminated foods? What about wanting more energy? Ozone has gotten a bad rap over the years because it’s misused and misunderstood. Simply put, ozone is made up of 3 oxygen atoms (O3) and has a myriad of beneficial uses for humans and the planet. Not only does it have the ability to selectively kill harmful microbes in the bloodstream and boost the body's immune system, but is also used safely in most industries and can even be used in home gardening and “healthy” sanitization (aka no superbugs here)! In this episode, we cover it all, plus myths, the science of why ozone works, usage and safety tips. And for a limited time, my listeners will receive a discount off any of Creatrix Solutions’ fabulous ozone products using code OZONE15 through September 30, 2022.

SPONSORS Thank you to Berkeley Life, nitric oxide is made naturally in the body, helping to relax the walls of blood vessels and promoting healthy circulation. However, stress, age and environmental factors can inhibit your body's ability to make enough of it. When Nitric Oxide is low, your body loses that natural circulatory boost, which not only impacts your cardiovascular system, but also other key systems that rely on the circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients.

| 12 Sep 2023 | Episode #175: Dr. Bruce Hoffman: Demystifying Mast Cell Activation Syndrome | 01:13:52 | |
Could you imagine a condition that affects virtually every organ, eludes the standard diagnostic criteria, and causes multi-system inflammation? Meet the perplexing world of mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is an elusive condition that affects many, yet remains largely misunderstood. MCAS is a syndrome that triggers multi-system inflammation, and due to its diverse range of symptoms, it often eludes typical diagnostic processes. It has a profound impact on both the body and mind. Mast cells are integral to our innate immune system, playing a crucial role in safeguarding us against foreign invaders, allergens, and environmental toxins. However, potential triggers of mast cell hyperactivity can range from environmental toxins to mold.
Today I’m with Dr. Bruce Hoffman and we dissect this complex condition and delve into the critical role of mast cells in our immune system. Learn how mast cells, our body's fierce protectors against toxins, might turn hyperactive due to triggers like environmental toxins, heavy metals, or mold, launching a cell danger response that could send your body into a protective shutdown. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we explore the intersection of physical and mental health. Focusing on those battling MCAS and early developmental trauma, Dr. Hoffman shares invaluable self-regulation strategies and lends insight into the significance of neurofeedback and building a window of tolerance.
Dr. Hoffman is board-certified and has a fellowship in anti-aging medicine as well as a Master’s degree in clinical nutrition. He is also a certified functional medicine practitioner. In addition to his clinical training, Dr. Hoffman has studied with many of the leading mind-body and spiritual healers of our times, including Deepak Chopra, Paul Lowe, Osho, Ramesh Balsekar, and Jon Kabat-Zinn. He has shared the stage with Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. John F. Demartini, and he continues to spread his inspiring vision of healing and wellness with audiences and patients around the world.

| 29 Mar 2024 | Episode #223: The Microbiome and Its Effects on All Other Bodily Systems with Chidozie Ojobor, Ph.D. | 01:18:22 | |
Optimizing your gut microbiome is arguably one of the most important things you can do for your health as it plays so many integral roles in almost every body system. This is why, in this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Chidozie Ojobor, Ph.D. about the importance of the microbiome's influence on human health, particularly on the gut-brain connection and mental well-being.
He discusses the role of butyrate, leaky gut/brain, probiotics, and the importance of diet diversity in promoting a healthy microbiome. The conversation also covers the impact of modern lifestyle, antibiotics, and colon cleansing on gut health, and how to get accessible gut microbiome testing - in particular, the testing done by Vitract.
Chidozie Ojobor Ph.D. is a Molecular Biologist with over 12 years of experience in Medical Microbiology research, and the co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Vitract. In his early research years, he worked on human rotaviruses that cause severe gastroenteritis in children.
Afterward, he proceeded to earn his Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics from the University of Toronto, Canada. During his doctoral training, he developed through genetic engineering, novel therapeutic entities that target disease-causing bacteria such as the ones found in complex biological ecosystems as the gut microbiome. These tools he developed worked with high specificity and precision, making them the ideal candidates for targeted therapy. Dr. Ojobor's works in the fields he worked in have been well-cited by numerous scientists across the globe.

| 03 Nov 2023 | Episode #188: Stop Using Ozempic and Take These Peptides Instead for Weight Loss | 00:31:05 | |
Think you can’t lose weight without GLP1 agonists?
Think again. In this solo episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we bypass common drugs like GLP1 agonists, including OZMPIC, and discuss safer and effective alternatives. You will get insights into muscle loss mitigation during dramatic weight loss, and discover other innovative fat loss strategies that steer clear of the potential risks associated with miracle weight loss drugs.
We also talk about microbiome and weight loss probiotics, with a focus on Akkermansia, a bacterial strain associated with lean individuals. I share my experience with DNF-10, a peptide that is known to significantly lower ghrelin secretion before meals, and contributes to maintaining the release of leptin from adipocytes.
Lastly, we discuss the importance of living a healthy lifestyle, as Akkermansia and DNF-10 may be a piece of the puzzle, but they are not a magic solution for weight loss.

In this episode I deep dive into the fascinating world of ketone esters with Frank Llosa one of the most passionate entrepreneurs you will meet. By now, most of us have heard of the ketogenic diet – at its center are 3 fascinating molecules called Ketones – in this case, we are talking about beta hydroxybutyrate or BHB. While it is often talked about as a fuel source, it turns out the BHB is so much more than that as it is also an important signalling molecule that has wide ranging benefits to the human body. Ketone Esters are known for tasing awful and costing a small fortune but through utter dedication Frank has managed to make them palatable and more affordable in order to make this important compound accessible to more people including researchers who are still uncovering the many ways they can benefit human health.

| 14 Mar 2023 | Episode #142: Stem Cells & Other Cutting Edge Modalities | 01:18:40 | |
My guest this week is Dr. Rand McClain of Regenerative and Sports Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Rand McClain and I discuss stem cells, epigenetics, blood sugar and regenerative medicine as a whole. Dr. Rand shares some patient stories of reversal of arthritis and even MS symptoms in people. We discuss the cutting edge modalities you may have been wondering about or even heard multiple contradictory viewpoints on and he sets the record straight. Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the youngest senior account manager in Deloitte’s history, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the “status quo”. Dr. Rand’s patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments he specializes in. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy to cryotherapy, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health.

| 14 Dec 2021 | Episode 73: How to Protect Your Body Against the Harmful Effects of EMF Radiation | 01:21:05 | |
My guest this week is Arthur Menard Founder of Lambs. In this episode, Arthur and I discuss the harmful effects of EMF radiation and the healthful effects of Lambs EMF-Proof Clothing. Most of us think about what we put in and on our body, but we don’t always think about the environmental threats to our health. We suffer a significant amount of cell damage from EMF radiation that comes from cell phones, laptops, cars, airpods, wireless anything, smart devices, computers, airplanes, microwaves and more! Learn more about LAMBS EMF protective clothing at https://bit.ly/LAMBSBSP and use discount code LONGEVITY for 15% off. Arthur defines EMF”s and explains how EMF radiation affects our cells specifically. Once you understand the mechanism, it makes a whole lot more sense why we should be concerned about it. EMF creates free radicals, free radicals put us at risk for oxidative stress. When our bodies are in a state of stress 24/7 they can’t thrive or help us fight off any other illnesses that threaten our immune system. Arthur also gives us some insight into EMF research. Research shows that EMF radiation affects people in different ways. About 4% of the population is extremely affected by EMF radiation where the rest of us can’t really feel or see the damage until it’s too late because it has a cumulative effect. Reports of infertility, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes have all been linked to this kind of radiation. This is where LAMBS or EMF-Proof Clothing comes in. We often choose to ignore the evidence because there isn’t any easy solution and we REALLY like technology! Let’s face it, technology isn’t going anywhere. So the wonderful thing about this health-enhancing apparel is that in early research it has shown to improve HRV, sleep, and overall stress on our bodies. EMF clothing can’t turn your health around on its own, it’s important to eat healthy, find ways to lower stress, get a good amount of sleep and keep your body moving.

Did you know that stress may be causing lymphatic congestion? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we chat with Desiree De Spong about how scars, often mere afterthoughts, can profoundly influence our physical and emotional well-being. Desiree illuminates the importance of the lymphatic system, not just as an aspect of our immune defense but as a pillar of overall health, and shares transformative approaches to therapy that include the use of innovative tools like a vibrating ball for perineal rehabilitation. Desiree sheds light on the lymph system's role, functioning without a central pump and instead relying on muscle movement and breath—elements within our control. She explains the connection between stress and lymphatic congestion, and how embracing calm through technology can offer not just a respite for the mind but also bolster immune function. Desiree De Spong, a visionary leader and the Founder and CEO of Medella Health in New Zealand, stands at the forefront of lymphatic therapy with nearly two decades of unwavering clinical expertise. A true luminary in her field, Desiree is not only a seasoned practitioner but an international educator who passionately imparts her profound knowledge through sought-after courses in Lymph Node Release Therapy.

| 19 Dec 2023 | Episode #198: Discovering Red Light Therapy for the Gut - Brain Connection with Sarah Turner | 01:11:41 | |
At this point, most of you know about red light therapy and all the amazing benefits that come with it. That’s why in this episode, we are going to look at it from a different perspective. Rather than focusing solely on the common uses of red light therapy, we’ll dive into its potential in enhancing brain health and cognition function, managing conditions like Parkinson's disease, altering your microbiome, and enhancing the connection between your gut and brain. We’ll also dive into the lesser-known areas of this therapy such as its influence on structured water and so much more. We go deep into individual case studies, current trials, and the role of dosing considerations in red light therapy to accentuate the fact that red light therapy is one of the most underrated yet powerful tools and can do some amazing things for healing and optimization – far beyond what most of us realize! Sarah is the co-founder and CEO of Ceratrhive, a company that develops a very special kind of red light therapy devices that we will also discuss in this episode. She has a postgraduate degree in Clinical Neuroscience from Roehampton University in London. She also holds BSc degrees in Psychological Sciences and Nutritional Medicine from Westminster University and Thames Valley University, respectively. Currently, she is pursuing a diploma in Photobiomodulation at the University of Montpellier in France. During the initial decade of her career, Sarah worked as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry. Her role involved planning and conducting experiments to examine the impact of electrostatics on physiology.

| 06 Feb 2024 | Episode #211: Mastering Menopause: Balance Hormone Health for Lifelong Confidence | 01:21:48 | |
In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Dr. Stephanie Estima, we discuss the importance of heading into menopause in the healthiest way possible. Muscle is often thought of as a negative thing for women as we were taught not to get bulky. However, it’s a myth that needs to be totally left behind. It’s very hard for women to build muscle and get bulky. But muscle is essential for hormonal balance and longevity.
We also dive into the science behind balanced hormones, and what steps you can take to make sure you’re heading into menopause as a confident powerful woman, rather than take it on as if it’s a disease. Menopause needs to be thought of as an evolution of your body, not a nightmare situation. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is essential for some women, and we guide you through how to talk with your doctor to get the best treatment possible.
Overall, this episode offers guidance on navigating hormone health, talking to your doctor about what you specifically need, and how to use menopause as a growth opportunity, not a season of anxiety and hardship.
Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses all facets of health including nutrition, fitness, hormones, stress management, performance, recovery, longevity, health span, mental resilience, and energy production. Her passion is to assist you in making informed decisions about your health and to catapult you into the hero of your own life.
Dr. Stephanie has a special interest in exercise physiology, biomechanics, neuroscience, and performance nutrition. She spent 19 years in private practice and is a best-selling author, international speaker, and mother.

(4:41) Menopause isn’t a disease; it’s an experience you can be prepared for. (8:45) The importance of lean muscle for women (hint: you don’t get bulky!) (17:45) Hormonal changes can affect your ability to build lean muscle. (22:43) The turnover rate of bone as we age changes under the influence of estrogen. (26:30) You don’t want too much estrogen- it can negatively affect ligaments and joints. You just want it balanced with testosterone. This is why joint issues are common in post-menopausal women. It increases the risk of injury. (29:00) The importance of strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health for aging women. (30:00) Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is a great solution. (36:00) Be so in tune with your body that you can tell when something is off, and be able to have data-filled conversations with your doctor. If you can’t talk with your doctor about hormones, get a new doctor. (40:10) Cognitive health - our ability to think clearly - and lack of sleep is affected by decreasing levels of hormones like progesterone. (46:00) Stress management and its role in adrenal gland health. Nutrition and supplements can feed the brain! Your body is very clear about this - if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. (53:44) The lack of literature on common “health practices” today for women, like cold plunges and sauna. It needs to be synced with the time in your cycle.

| 04 Jun 2024 | Episode #239: Maximizing the Potential of GLP-1 Medications: Dr. Gus Vickery's Strategies for Long-Term Success | 01:28:20 | |
Are you tired of yo-yo dieting and struggling to achieve lasting weight loss? Have you heard about the buzz surrounding GLP-1 agonist medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide but aren't sure how to effectively incorporate them into your journey?
In today’s episode, Dr. Gus Vickery and I discuss the effective use of GLP-1 agonist medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide for sustainable weight loss. He emphasizes the need for a mindset shift, viewing these drugs as powerful tools to catalyze positive changes rather than easy fixes or crutches. Dr. Vickery explains that these medications provide leverage to implement foundational healthy habits and that the key to success lies in focusing on nutrient sufficiency, not just calorie restriction.
We also discuss concerns surrounding GLP-1 medications, such as the potential for muscle loss and the risk of regaining weight after discontinuing the drugs. He shares strategies to mitigate these issues, including resistance training, adequate protein intake, and gradual dose reduction when nearing one's goal weight.
Dr. Gus Vickery is an author, speaker, and the founder and directing physician of Authentic Health in Asheville, North Carolina. He established his practice with a commitment to delivering holistic, compassionate, and evidence-based care.

| 18 Jul 2023 | Episode #164: Carolina Oliveira: Healthy Skin Aging, Cellular Senescence, and OneSkin | 01:08:47 | |
Our skin was designed to function as a barrier to protect our bodies from environmental stressors and pathogens, but unfortunately, our skin barrier is one of the main factors that is compromised as we age. Many of us are constantly looking for the next best thing to slow down and possibly even reverse these signs of skin aging, and my guest today is here to explain why focusing on products that work on the molecular level is the key to healthy aging.
I’m joined by Carolina Oliveira, the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin, to discuss everything you need to know about healthy aging in the skin. We cover cellular senescence, biological age, systemic inflammation, and the research being done at OneSkin to quantify these things. We also talk about some of the other factors that have an impact on skin health, and of course dive into the first peptide developed to reverse skin aging at the molecular level: OS-O1.
Carolina Oliveira is the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin. She holds a Ph.D. in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, is a co-inventor of 5 patents and co-author of numerous scientific publications. She relocated from Brazil to Silicon Valley in 2016 to found OneSkin, a fast-growing longevity company developing products to promote skin health by targeting aging at the molecular level. Carolina is an alumnus of IndieBio, the world's largest biotech accelerator and has been an active voice in the longevity field, pioneering age reversal skin research with OneSkin.

| 07 Jun 2021 | Medicinal Mushrooms with Jeff Chilton – from Nootropics to Anti Microbial Properties Medicinal Mushrooms offer a world of benefits if you know what to look for. | 01:40:56 | |
In this episode, Nathalie talks to Jeff Chilton about everything mushrooms. They talk about how Jeff first started his career as a mushroom picker and is now one of the leading experts in the medicinal mushroom industry. From how to tell if your mushroom supplement is actually going to do anything for you to how to cook mushrooms, the powerful medicinal properties of various mushrooms we tap into the medicinal power of these tiny but mighty foods.
Meet This Week's Guest In 1973, Jeff Chilton went to work at Ostrom Mushroom Farms in Olympia Washington. Jeff quickly worked his way up to Grower and ultimately Production Manager. He followed this up with a Fellowship at the Dutch School for Mushroom Growers in 1973 that gave Jeff a much broader outlook on the mushroom industry and influenced his future path. After 10 years of commercial mushroom growing experience, Jeff co-authored and published the classic, bestselling book on small-scale mushroom cultivation, The Mushroom Cultivator. That same year he moved his family to British Columbia to start a mushroom spawn laboratory and a small speciality mushroom growing facility. In 1989 Jeff made his first trip to China to attend the International Society for Mushroom Science’s (ISMS) conference in Nanjing where he discovered the depth of mushroom knowledge and production capacity that China offered. The relationships Jeff built over the next 10 years laid the foundation that made Nammex a leader in the new category of health promoting mushrooms. Nammex serves the B to B industry while Real Mushrooms, led by Skye Chilton (Jeff’s son) serves the consumer with powerful supplements and extracts.

If sustainable, healthy weight management is your goal this is going to be an episode you want to listen to. Learn more about Joel at https://www.veepnutrition.com/ Berkeley Life is dedicated to supporting healthy nitric oxide levels. Nitric oxide is made naturally in the body, helping to relax the walls of blood vessels and promoting healthy circulation. However, stress, age and environmental factors can inhibit your body's ability to make enough of it. When Nitric Oxide is low, your body loses that natural circulatory boost, which not only impacts your cardiovascular system, but also other key systems that rely on the circulation of blood, oxygen, and nutrients. Berkeley Life supplements provide a dietary nitrate that the body converts into nitric oxide. Their two-capsule daily dose has the dietary nitrate equivalent to 5 oz of spinach or 7 oz of beetroot! This helps to maintain healthy circulation, delivering nutrients where they need to go. Sponsor offer: Berkeley Life orders can only be made using a practitioner code … You can use mine!

| 15 Aug 2023 | Episode #169: Dr. Christopher Shade: Exploring Age Reversal and the Secrets of Longevity | 01:06:55 | |
Can you imagine a world where you're not bound by the inevitability of aging? These days it seems as though there’s a never-ending pursuit of immortality, but it’s important to question the quality of life that extended lifespans might offer. The secret to a longer, happier life may not solely lie in age-reversing technologies and biohacking techniques, but rather in our experiences and connections with the world.
I’m joined by Dr. Christopher Shade, and we’re diving into the realm of biohacking, self-care, and the prospects of reversing and embracing aging. From nutrition and detoxification to stem cells and peptides, we discuss the plethora of tools at our disposal to reverse the aging process. We also cover the practical implications of integrating one's consciousness into a machine, and why self-care and taking responsibility for our emotional health is essential.
Dr. Christopher Shade, PhD, founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific®, specializes in the biological, environmental, and analytical chemistry of mercury in all its forms and their interactions with sulfur compounds, particularly glutathione and its enzyme system. Dr. Shade is regularly sought out to speak as an educator on the topics of mercury, environmental toxicities, neuroinflammation, immune dysregulation, and the human detoxification system in the United States and internationally. He has helped corporate executives, professional athletes, celebrities, children with autism, patients with chronic immune disorders and more. He strives to evolve the way the medical industry delivers care, and he is perpetually broadening the way the world understands health.

| 31 May 2024 | Episode #238: Upgrade Your Vagus Nerve: 5 Strategies for Enhancing Resilience and Vitality | 01:07:40 | |
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to bounce back from stress more easily than others? The answer may lie in the strength of their vagus nerve.
In today’s episode of the Longevity Podcast, I chat with Dr. Navaz Habib about the importance of the vagus nerve and its impact on heart rate variability (HRV). He explains that the vagus nerve is a unique nerve that connects the brain to all organs in the thorax and abdomen, allowing for communication and signaling. Vagal tone, which refers to the strength of the signals sent through the vagus nerve, is crucial for optimal health.
Dr. Habib identifies four types of stressors that can affect vagal tone: emotional, physical, biochemical, and psychological. He emphasizes the importance of proper breathing techniques, such as slow, diaphragmatic breathing, to improve vagal tone. We also discuss the role of nitric oxide in supporting vagus nerve function and how to supplement it for overall health.
Dr. Navaz Habib, is a Doctor of Chiropractic and Functional Medicine Practitioner who empowers his clients to dig deeper and find the answers to what is holding back their health, affecting their energy and productivity. He is also the host of The Health Upgrade Podcast and speaks on various topics related to Vagus Nerve and its impact on optimal health.

| 05 Apr 2021 | Dr Mindy Pelz, DC, MENOPAUSE IS AN EXTREME SPORT - How targeted lifestyle changes can help women through this transition with ease and grace instead of suffering | 01:15:31 | |
In this episode Nathalie talks to Dr Mindy Pelz about her new book - The Menopause Reset - virtually a “user’s manual” on how women can reclaim power over their health by understanding and supporting their hormones. The book is fantastic - it is short and to the point and explains in detail how each woman can make simple yet powerful changes to their diet and lifestyle that will support their cycles while helping them to look, feel and perform their best.
Meet this week’s guest: Dr. Mindy Pelz, D.C is a best selling author, keynote speaker, nutrition and functional medicine expert who has spent over two decades helping thousands of people successfully reclaim their health. She is a recognized leader in the alternative health field and a pioneer in the fasting movement, teaching the principles of a fasting lifestyle, diet variation, detox, hormones, and more. Her popular YouTube channel combines the latest science with practical lifestyle tools every person can use to reset their health. She is the host of one of the leading science podcasts, The Resetter Podcast, and the author of three best-selling books; The Menopause Reset, The Reset Factor, and The Reset Kitchen. Dr Pelz’ transition from Chiropactor to Functional Medicine Practitioner was ultimately triggered 10 years into her career as she started to realize that people were unable to heal due to their environment.
Key Takeaways: 2:19 Hitting menopause ultimately drove Dr Pelz to start digging into what exactly is happening to women in this transition and, more importantly, that finding a solution was going to have to come from her...not her doctor, not a pill. 7:10 The external influences - like makeup, processed foods, anxiety that affect women’s hormonal cycles 7:46 The beauty of women’s hormones….and how staying in sync with these hormones can help us to make the most of them 8:21 How something as simple as seed cycling can help to support hormonal balance 10:35 What foods to eat at different times of your cycle to support your hormones so that you can look, feel and perform your best… 11:03 Day 1-Day 10 the perfect time to fast, go Keto or push yourself a little harder. 11:41 Day 11-Day15 this is the time to BUILD muscle and support your microbiome..”bathe yourself in sauerkraut” Day 15-20 it’s back to Keto, fasting etc…. 12:55 Day 20 is when you get to chill out...progesterone support is now the priority and healthy carbs are the name of the game… 13:36 How and why the Ketogenic Diet can backfire for many women 16:21 Helping women to take back their power over their health 19:49 There are two types of the energy system: sugar burner energy system and fat burner energy system 21:14 By doing sugar burner energy source should avoid preservative foods 34:19 Forty years old and above should eat more leafy foods for estrogen wealth 38:11 Doing HRT is best to complement a healthy lifestyle 45:32 Menopause has a different outlook on every other woman not like the standard perception 52:35 Oxytocin is an anabolic and major key in hormone growth 01:02:22 Dry fasting benefits will get us to deeper ketosis but should be under 24hrs fasting period only

| 23 Aug 2022 | Episode #111: Nobel Prize Super Molecule, “NO”: Better Performance, Brain, Skin, Aging & Sex | 01:14:13 | |
My guest this week is Dr. Nathan S. Bryan. In this episode, Dr. Bryan and I discuss nitric oxide and nitric oxide supplementation, including the new lozenges and topical line. Dr. Bryan is not only part of the brains behind Berkley Life (we all LOVE!), but also NO2U. As an expert studying NO for so long, he is a go-to resource for any questions. We start out explaining the foundations: What is nitric oxide, what are the functions in the body, why do we need optimal levels and why are nitric oxide levels so low in humans. Then we move into how diet and lifestyle affect nitric oxide levels, and of course, how to increase nitric oxide levels naturally. If you want to stack on nutraceuticals, he answers how much you should take, when to take it, and in what forms. And that’s just the surface of what we covered! Dr. Bryan shares about their fascinating research in long-haulers, prevention, clinical trials, post-surgery recovery, and upcoming pharmaceutical approvals. And stay to the end when we talk about skin repair and bringing on the youthful glow in a new cosmetic category they have brought to the market.

| 25 Sep 2020 | Peptides for Fat Loss w/ CanLab: Setmelanotide, AOD 9604, FRAG17691, Tesamorelin, CJC 1295 NO Dac | 00:52:19 | |
In this Interview, Jean-Francois Tremblay, owner of CanLab and I dig in to one of the new darlings of the peptide world - Tesamorelin and a less known but possibly just as effective other option - Setmelanotide - an offshoot of the better known Melantonan 2. We also cover AOD 9604, FRAG 17691 and CJC1295 ...and why you probably want to avoid the version with DAC (drug affinity complex)... We start with a chat about how if you're after lasting results there's really no way to avoid optimizing your diet, moving more, optimizing sleep etc... but these peptides might just help to speed things along and ease some of the bumps along the way. Please note that this content is intended for information purposes only and is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Peptides are for the most part classified as research chemicals so should not be used on humans. Before changing your diet or using any new supplement make sure to consult with your health care provider. Always seek the advice of your physician or health care provider with any questions or concerns you may have regarding a medical condition before you make any changes. Show Notes: Keto Calorie Peptides Help with Fat Loss Body Recomposition Growth Hormone unregulated by Fat Loss peptides like FRAG 17691 or AOD9604 (just one amino acid difference) help to mobilize fatty acids in the fat cell – but need to be in calorie/energy deficit for it to stay out Consistency and sticking to your plan is the ultimate secret sauce…
Why Canlab combines Frag and AOD 9604 More about Frag and AOD….are they the same or different? AOD lacks one tyrosine…means that it lasts longer…whereas Frag uses more up front and gets metabolized faster….. Tesamorelin…..what it does…. The skinny on Tesamorelin….it’s not about Tesa it’s about the growth hormone release…. Re Muscle Gains attributed to Peptides….in studies re old people it’s about bringing back muscle you once had…. Hormone replacement therapy is at the foundation of reclaiming muscle mass GH good for muscle sustaining (vs growth) and tissue repair (but doesn’t hold a candle to BPC and TB4) Tesamorelin – origins – where it came from originally….very close to CJC 1295 (Mod IGRF 121 is actually CJC 1295 without dac). and other Growth Hormone Secretagogues. The difference between Tesa and CJC not really all that great….why some people may be promoting Tesa over CJC 1295 the magic is in the dose. Difference about with Dac and without Dac. With Dac too many peaks of growth hormone (similar to MK 677….increases risk of insulin resistance…..why is the Dac long lasting…binds to albumin in the blood ….which is problematic as there may have been relationship to blood cancer seen in certain studies….so better to use without DAC…just use multiple times a day if necessary Post workout (3) is a good time…but pre bed(1), pre workout and first thing in the morning (2) are all better
Setmelanotide – another derivative of alpha MSH (Melanotan, melanotan 2, PT141) Basically prioritizes appetite suppression over tanning and sexual enhancement..they all create a tan just to varying degrees…. SM get appetite curbing (some sexual stim)…increases metabolic rate by about 6%, without increasing HR or BP…. On average can expect about 1 lb a week fat loss…. Many reports of people using it with good results – safe track record…..Clinical studies went for 12 months Do not start at full dose of 1.5mg a day….start at .5 1-2 days then 1.0mg for a couple of days and then increase to full dose to avoid possible /nausea In studies – they changed nothing else….and saw results but it’s likely that as people lost weight they may have started to move more etc… At this point best method for most peptides is SubQ over oral….Intranasal may work but need to use higher dose (aka PT141 1 mg is SubQ and 2mg is IntraNasal)
Tesofensine – not a peptide acts on dopamine and AC receptors in the brain so needs to be used with great caution Please note that this video is intended for information purposes only and is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

My guest this week is Dr. Richard Johnson, the author of Nature Wants Us to Be Fat In this episode, Dr. Johnson and I discuss how nature put a survival switch in our bodies to save us from starvation. Since we are no longer hunters and gatherers, that switch is no longer useful and is often stuck in the on position causing weight gain. Dr. Johnson talks about ways to turn it off and avoid unwanted weight gain, and more importantly, avoid exacerbating major diseases.

| 25 Aug 2023 | Episode #171: Autumn Smith: Rewriting the Narrative of Animal Protein | 01:14:18 | |
Ready to challenge the current beliefs about meat consumption? There are current narratives that have demonized meat, explicating the healing powers of grass-fed pasture-raised meats for both our bodies and the planet. Today we’re debunking myths and misconceptions about meat consumption and its environmental impact.
I’m joined by Autumn Smith, and we’re discussing the potential of regenerative farming techniques, compared to conventionally raised beef. We navigate through the arguments against beef consumption and Autumn sheds light on how regenerative farming could be scaled to meet the needs of a growing population. We also discuss the critical role of humane treatment of animals in our food choices and reflect on our obligation as omnivores to respect the natural cycle of life.
Autumn Smith is the co-founder of Wild Pastures and Paleovalley, a company dedicated to helping people get the essential nutrients they need without added sugars, grains, or other harmful ingredients.

| 27 Feb 2024 | Episode #216: The 4 Most Basic (Yet Overlooked) Things You Can Do to Improve Your Health with Katie Wells | 00:55:27 | |
Have you spent years trying to better your health with fad diets or expensive supplements? If you’re struggling with unexplained symptoms or cannot find an answer to ongoing health problems, I know it can be disheartening and overwhelming.
In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance with guest Katie Wells, we discuss the four pillars of health and the importance of taking a step back, basically stripping all the “health routines” down to the basics. Katie shows that this route can be refreshing and often a way to overcome all the overwhelming data that is thrown into the health and wellness space. Focusing on the four pillars of health can alleviate stress and give a clear picture of what is causing the health issues in the first place.
We also dive into the data behind the blue zones and the controversy behind them. Overall, this episode offers information on the importance of community and how it has an impact on longevity and health. And that getting back to the basics is an important place to start when looking for answers.
Katie Wells is a mom of six with a background in journalism. She took health into her own hands and started researching to find answers to her own health struggles. Her research turned into a blog and podcast that turned into an amazing community. The Wellness Mama encourages a natural, simple route to finding health and longevity for each individual.

Is your body’s detoxification system craving the heat of an infrared sauna?
I am joined by Connie Zack the co-founder of Sunlighten to discuss the incredible longevity, detoxification, cardiovascular health, and immune system benefits of infrared saunas.

You will learn about the different wavelengths of infrared and the benefits that each delivers, and surprising information about how hot you really need to get (spoiler alert, not nearly as hot as you think) to get the benefits of infamous heat shock proteins - powerful antiaging compounds that are produced by the body in response to extremes in temperature.
Connie Zack, an entrepreneur, wellness enthusiast, wife, and mother, Connie regularly speaks at events around the world and served on the P&G Women’s Board to cultivate a practice of mentoring young women and supporting their professional development. She continues to guide and encourage female entrepreneurs.

| 01 Feb 2022 | Episode #81: You Want Better Health And Longevity? You Need A LOT More Than Just Peptides … | 01:09:10 | |
My guest this week is Dr. Dan Co-founder of Apeiron ZOH corporation. In this episode, Dr. Dan Stickler and I discuss his approach to medicine - looking at the body as a complex system. There is no one way of looking at health. Once you grasp the complex system that is your body, you can start to understand how to optimize it. We also discuss many aspects of how to optimize one's body for performance and longevity with GLP-1 agonists (peptides), anti-aging medications, epigenetics, mindset, and mental health. Sage advice from Dr. Dan - live in the present moment, ditch linear thinking, find joy, build community, look for wonder & Ah, and start a gratitude practice. Learn more about Dr. Dan here.
