How Urolithin A Helps Create Super T-Cells & Boosts Immunity – Dr. Anurag Singh : 999

[Timeline Nutrition] (https://www.timelinenutrition.com/) sponsored this podcast. IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…immunologist Anurag Singh, M.D., Ph.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer at Amazentis, joins the show to talk about urolithin A’s connection between inflammation, aging and your mitochondria. Urolithin A activates mitophagy and renews your mitochondria.“It takes all the cellular garbage that has been accumulating over the aging process,” Dr. Singh explains. “It revs it up, so it recharges. And so now, you're cleaning your metabolic waste products much more efficiently and they become the building blocks. This is mitochondrial biogenesis, and that means newer, healthy mitochondria coming in.” This new conversation takes an exciting turn into immunity and your immune system’s two lines of defense: innate and adaptive.You’ll learn: ---how inflammation plus aging (AKA inflammaging) contributes to a weakened immune system and a growing incidence of cancer as you age; ---how inflammaging and cancer are connected to mitochondrial dysfunction specifically during the aging process; and ---how to approach your immune health differently with this new knowledge. A [new study] (https://www.cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S1074-7613(22)00508-8?rss=yes&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter) recently published inImmunitylooks at how immune cells fight cancer better with a focus on immune modulation, immune cell exhaustion and immune responses. “A lot of urolithin A is anti-inflammatory, but a lot of it is immune modulation," Dr. Singh says. "So, it takes a rewiring of the immune system and makes it more conducive to stopping harmful immune responses.” Watch this episode on [YouTube] (https://youtu.be/-Jd7ci3eEoI) !

Battling Pathogens and Building Immunity Begins In Your Gut – Dr. Robynne Chutkan : 998

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Robynne Chutkan, M.D., joins the show to talk about a topic that’s foundational to biohacking—resilience. More specifically, resilience that starts in the gut. You’ll learn: ---how your microbiome continually evolves and why that matters to the state of your gut and body functions. ---how to strengthen the antiviral defenses located in your gut. ---why your body’s own ability “to resist, heal, and recover from viruses is vastly superior” to pharmaceuticals. ---what to dobeforetaking antibiotics to protect your gut, as well as what you can do to rehab your microbiomeafterantibiotic use. “Being on the winning team when battling viruses isn’t because of good luck, or coincidence, or variations in viral virulence,” Dr. Chutkan explains in her newest book, “ [The Anti-Viral Gut: Tackling Pathogens from the Inside Out] (https://robynnechutkan.com/books/the-anti-viral-gut/') .” "It’s due to differences in us, the hosts, and our defenses, and those differences are what determine your outcome. Put another way: it’s less about the potency of the pathogen and more about the health of the host.” Dr. Chutkan<a href="https://robynnechutkan.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a>is a Yale- and Columbia-educated integrative gastroenterologist who’s been advancing knowledge and education about gut health for decades. Nearly 20 years ago she founded the Digestive Center for Wellness to help people get to the root issue of their digestive issues and improve their gut health.

Upgrade Spotlight: Calm the Chaos, Then Drink the Water – Analemma : 994

[Analemma] (https://analemma-water.com/) sponsored this episode. IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’re listening to anewUpgrade Spotlightseries. Once a month, theseshorter episodes feature guests who get right intouseful informationin a Q&A style.You’ll find out how to improve your energy and upgrade your performance. You’ll also get the latest knowledge about powerfultools and technologiesthat allow you to change your biology and the environment around you. Introducing [Analemma] (https://analemma-water.com/) ! During this Upgrade Spotlight with Mario Brainovic, CEO of Analemma, you’re going to find out about a tool that transforms regular water into a supercharged, full-spectrum, coherent state.The kind of water you drink absolutely influences the quality of your life.You’ll learn the science behind Analemma and what it can do for your health and energy. Why water? You think you know the basics: stay hydrated daily, avoid plastic bottles and use a filtration system at home. Well, Analemma says water goes way beyond the basics—all the way down to your cellular level. You’re 70% water in body mass, but 99% water on a molecular level. You’re basically very clever water. TheAnalemmadevice—similar in looks and function to a magic wand—radically changes the state of drinking water. Environmental forces cause H2O molecules in drinking water to behave chaotically. At an atomic level, water molecules crash into each other constantly. Your body’s susceptible to that influence. “We found a way to bring order to this chaos,” Mario says. “When you swirl an Analemma through the water, what happens is that those same H2O molecules start forming a liquid crystalline structure. They start behaving harmonically. They, colloquially speaking, join hands.” Analemma water is not exclusion zone water. It's something different. “It also is structured water, but we came to it in a very different way,” Mario says. “The key element to it is its stability.” This conversation gets right into the science of Analemma and several studies. You’ll find out how: ---a new study is measuring the rise in ATP levels (in mitochondrial energy) when people drink this water. ---this water affects the human microbiome ---this water reduces your biological age by one to 12 years by regenerating your cellular system, according to [GlycanAge] (https://glycanage.com/) . ---you get an instant balancing effect between the left and the right brain hemisphere ---how a cooling affect happens on your brainwaves almost instantly when drinking this water ---this water restores the biodiversity of infertile soil SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS:Go to [https://analemma-water.com] (https://analemma-water.com/) and use codedave10to save 10%.

Finding Your True North Through Yoga – Baron Baptiste : 991

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how a yoga practice can be a vehicle for inner transformation. This conversation looks past the popularity of yoga as a fitness trend and into its deeper potential for human development. You’ll also learn how yoga can be a way for you to explore your whole being—from physicality to emotions to thinking. “A yoga practice often can be the missing ingredient for people,” says renowned yoga master Baron Baptiste. “Often I hear, ‘I added yoga practice to my routine and regimen, and it just shifted everything for me.’ It's a very different way of working your body, mind and breath integration.” Baron devotes his own life to the study and practices of human development. For more than 30 years, he’s facilitated education through yoga principles and teachings. His power vinyasa yoga— The Baptiste Methodology—includes the physical (asana), meditation (dhyana) and inquiry (niyama). “Iyengar was one of my primary teachers,” Baron says. “One thing I borrowed from him is the rigor to a body alignment—a True North Alignment.” Baptiste Yoga is a systematic approach made up of 53 poses, or asanas, that are linked together by connective momentum and consist of five classical pillars: Drishti (gaze), ujjayi (breath), bandhas (foundation), tapas (heat) and vinyasa (flow). More about Baron Baptiste: Baron began to seriously study yoga at age 12. As the son of two of America's yoga pioneers, he’s got a great life story that highlights the transformative power of yoga. He trained extensively in all the major traditions before beginning to teach yoga in Los Angeles in the late 80s and creating Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga in the mid-90s.

What Happens When You Die? On Death, Angels & Psychic Powers – Julie Ryan : 990

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… biohacking goes in a different direction. This frank discussion looks at the dying process and how people and those close to them (family and friends) experience death. You’ll learn about the existence of angels and the power of psychic abilities—even if you may be a skeptic. The conversation also explains what a “medical intuitive” does and how a medical intuitive facilitates energetic healings. Cool show today! And not what you might expect. Avid biohacker Julie Ryan checks a lot of success boxes: businesswoman, serial entrepreneur, author, radio show host and podcaster. She also invents surgical devices that sell globally; some have been on the market for three decades. She’s founded nine companies in five different industries. She checks a lot of unconventional boxes, too. She’s a psychic and medical intuitive. This means she can sense medical conditions and illnesses in people—like a human MRI machine. Then she facilitates energetic healings and says she does a lot of work with stem cell energy. Julie scans animals, accesses people’s past lives and senses how close to death someone is. She communicates with spirits both alive and dead. Even cooler—Julie’s psychic and medical intuitive skills arelearnedand she teaches those skills to others. Julie talks about the “glorious” side of dying, a process that she says involves angels, multitudes of deceased family and friends, the spirits of deceased pets, and countless serendipitous (and miraculous) moments that are all part of a prescribed series of events. She calls this the “12 Phases of Transition™” and broadly outlines this in today’s episode.

Menopause Bootcamp: Ditch the BS and Get to Solutions – Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz : 988

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… menopause and the perimenopausal years leading up to it take the spotlight as a topic frequently requested by listeners. Great timing! It’s [World Menopause Awareness Day] (https://www.imsociety.org/education/world-menopause-day/) Oct. 18 and World Menopause Awareness Month in October. More than [1 million women in the United States] (https://www.nia.nih.gov/news/research-explores-impact-menopause-womens-health-and-aging) experience menopause each year. Still, little is known, researched or taught in medical schools about the health effects of this natural biological occurrence. Guys who love the women in their lives and younger women will get a lot of benefit out of the show, too, and come away armed with information. Note that some women go through menopause at ages earlier than 40 for various medical reasons and will want to keep listening. “I want people to stop being afraid to say menopause,” says [Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz] (https://thedrsuzanne.com) . “I think there's a lot to be said for just saying the word out loud. If we can deweaponize the term and just be talking about it like we would any other life phase, then we can be there for each other and we can also learn from each other.” Dr. Suzanne, an OBGYN board certified in integrative and holistic medicine, brings her expertise to the show to tackle this complex topic.Her “endless curiosity about the human experience” propelled her to uncover ways to ease women through menopause stages with effective tools. She looks at the science and also brings in holistic elements, including Ayurveda.For more than two decades, she’s led women through life transitions. Her new book “ [Menopause Bootcamp: Optimize Your Health, Empower Your Self and Flourish as You Age] (https://thedrsuzanne.com/themenopausebootcamp/) ” offers practical steps and solutions that can help women navigate the many menopausal changes they may experience. Some of what you’ll learn in this extensive conversation: ---Ways to de-pathologize menopause—which contributes to healing ageism. ---What’s actually going on with your hormones during the transition to menopause and beyond. ---Why hormone testing isn’t all that useful. ---Why Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT and what used to be called hormone replacement therapy, or HRT)—continues to be misunderstood and controversial. ---How tocraft specific questions to better advocate for yourself with doctors. ---How to recognize symptoms that canrange from moderate to severe to even debilitating. ---How to manage symptoms that disrupt the activities of daily living and long-term health. ---How physical changes can drive mental health issues during this time of your life. ---How to take control of your symptoms and find real solutions. Dr. Suzanne’s “Menopause Bootcamp” touches on prejudice in medicine and how to break free from the societal bullshit surrounding menopause so you can get appropriate help and treatments.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... kava expert and founder of TRU KAVA, Cameron George, joins the show to share new information about the many body/mind benefits you can get from kava. TRU KAVA sets the industry standard for kava quality, safety and education. On episodes [#731] (https://daveasprey.com/tru-kava-731/) and [#859] (https://daveasprey.com/trukava-cameron-george-859/) , we talked about kava’s historical origins and uses, how it can be safely consumed, and how it’s extracted and processed today. You can use kava for both energy and sleep. It’s also a natural alternative to recreational alcohol and drug use. “It's like a calm, enhanced state of natural sobriety,” Cameron says. If you struggle with social anxiety, kava’s roots in community and social connection can improve your relationships, too. Today’s conversation further expands the kava discussion. “Kava is a stress-relieving nootropic,” Cameron says. “It's a natural elixir that's prepared from the roots of a plant that grows in the South Pacific. Indigenous people have used it for thousands of years and prepared this food-grade drink kind of like coffee. On the stress-relieving side, on the nootropic side, they've prepared it and used it in almost every context imaginable, weddings, funerals, spiritual ceremonies, social gatherings. It helps to open up the opportunity for human connection, but it also helps to get people focused yet relaxed and calm and in a very safe space neurologically.” Kava studies show promise for people who may be experiencing mental health issues. You’ll learn about kava’s potential to transform mental health care and its therapeutic applications for mental/trauma-related illnesses.

Finding Modern Medicines in the Botanical World – Cassandra Quave, Ph.D. : 986

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how botanical remedies treat infectious and inflammatory diseases. You’ll get a fascinating look at how plants and microbes interact and how antibiotic resistance evolves. And you’ll meet a leader in the field of medical botany who travels to remote locations and communities around the globeseeking out modern medicines from plants. ---Medicinal plants make up the primary form of medicine for 70–95 percent of people living in most developing countries. ---At least 4 billion people are dependent on plants for medicine. Ethnobotanist [Cassandra Quave, Ph.D.] (https://cassandraquave.com/) , is an herbarium curator and associate professor of dermatology and human health at Emory University. (She’s also a writer, speaker and podcast creator/host.) She teaches courses on medicinal plants, food, and health and her [Quave Research Group] (https://etnobotanica.us/) leads anti-infective drug discovery research initiatives. Dr. Quave’s also the co-founder and CEO/CSO of PhytoTEK LLC. This drug-discovery company works to develop solutions from botanicals. In particular, they look at treatments of antibiotic-resistant infections like MRSA. Her battle with MRSA is personal. She was born with congenital skeletal deformities and had her leg amputated at age 3. She nearly died from a staph infection that infection required more amputation. Her early life and disability experiences shaped her life’s work with medicinal plants. She chronicles her extraordinary life, field work and scientific discovery in her book,“ [The Plant Hunter: A Scientist’s Quest for Nature’s Next Medicines] (https://www.cassandraquave.com/the-plant-hunter) .” Plants are incredibly complex, and science has barely scratched the surface, Cassandra says. “Some of our best drugs for infection, cancer and pain were originally found in plants,” she says in her book. “Even though they may be produced in a factory setting now, the original chemical blueprints came from plants.” Cassandra studied pre-med in college with a double major in biology and anthropology. She couldn’t find a connection between the two fields until she journeyed to the Amazon where she studied with a local shaman/healer who relied on plants as medicine. She realized instead of going into thepracticeof medicine, her true path was the discovery ofnew medicines from nature. WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

You’ll find out how your mucosal barrier defends against pathogens in your gut microbiome. You’ll also learn about discoveries in the field of cell membrane medicine. This focus determines how your body functions now and also how you age. Jessica Kane Berman joins the show to share new information and interesting science about cellular health from the perspective of [BodyBio] (https://bodybio.com) , the company founded by her grandfather, Ed Kane, an inventor, health explorer and early biohacker. He went looking for answers to his own health issues in the 1980s and gotdeep into the science of fatty acid research and cell membrane medicine through blood testing. BodyBio sticks to a very specific group of products, most notably butyrate and a [phospholipid complex of phosphatidylcholine] (https://bodybio.com/products/bodybio-pc-phosphatidylcholine) . Jess explains how true liposomal phosphatidylcholine and phospholipids get through to the cells to help rebuild that membrane. Here’s a few good things butyrate does in your gut: ---Helps maintain the thickness of the mucosal barrier—keeps the good in and the bad out ---Helps the expression of tight junctions and strengthens the gut wall ---Expresses MUC2: this produces mucus, which thickens your mucous lining ---Regulates T-Cells and helps lower cytokine release ---Increases microbiome diversity ---Anti-inflammatory properties help improve intestinal barrier function and mucosal immunity Butyrate goes way beyond the gut to influence bone mass and density, asthma and allergies, histamine intolerance, body detoxification, inflammatory brain pathways, and mitochondrial function. Butyrate also can alter gene expression, protect against cancer, and regulate the body’s immune system.

Don’t Accept Suffering as Normal – Dr. Gabor Maté : 977

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™ … you’ll learn to define what’s really “normal” when it comes to your health. You’ll explore how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens theimmune system, and undermines emotional balance. And why Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person. This conversation covers an investigation into the causes of illness, a critique of how our society breeds disease, and offers a pathway to healthand healing. One of the surprising things you’ll learn has to do with authenticity. “The loss of authenticity is one of the major impacts of trauma,” says renowned Canadian speaker and bestselling author, [Dr. Gabor Maté] (https://drgabormate.com/) . “It's also a major cause of physical and mental illness.” Dr. Maté is highly sought after for his expertise on topics like addiction, stress, trauma, and childhood development. He spent two decades in family practice and palliative care. He also worked for over a decade in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side (Canada) with patients challenged by drug addiction and mental illness. In his newest book, [“The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, & Healing in a Toxic Culture,”] (https://drgabormate.com/book/the-myth-of-normal/) he pushes back on the prevailing understanding of “normal” because it neglects the roles that trauma and stress—and the pressures of modern-day living—exert on our bodies and our minds at the expense ofgood health. “If you're suffering, don't accept it as normal, but ask what's going on here?” Dr. Maté says. “Let the suffering instruct you that there's something going on; that what youthinkis normal is actually not healthy or natural for you.” WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Male Hormones: How Testosterone and Toxins Mess With You – Tracy Gapin, M.D. : 976

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... you’ll learn that while yes, testosterone fuels energy and performance, it’s not the be-all and end-all solution for men’s health woes. A systems biology approach considers many other aspects and provides a broader perspective about what’s going on with you. This conversation featuresboard-certified urologist [Tracy Gapin, M.D.] (https://drtracygapin.com/) ,one of the 8thAnnual Biohacking Conference [keynote speakers] (https://biohackingconference.com/dr-tracy-gapin/) . He’ll be on the main stage in Beverly Hills in September.He joins this special preview episode to discuss new ways for men to improve their health and performance. He uses epigenetic coaching, hormones, peptide therapy, biometric monitoring, and unique nutrition and lifestyle interventions. “Testosterone levels over the last 30 years are down by about 30 percent,” Dr. Tracy says. “Free testosterone, which is the bioavailable, active hormone testosterone is actually down over 45%. This is really important. We're not just talking about sex and muscle, we're talking about a man's life and cardiovascular health and cognitive function. The culprit can be debated, but without question, one of the biggest ones in my mind is endocrine disruptors. Toxins, chemicals in our environment that are clearly crushing men's health, clearly crushing testosterone. It's the food we eat, it's the water we drink, it's the personal care products. It's ubiquitous, it's almost everywhere and it's getting worse.” In his book, “ [Male 2.0™: Cracking the Code to Limitless Health and Vitality] (https://tracygapin.clickfunnels.com/sales-page3260117) ,” he says medical school, residency training and even a two-decade career in urology and surgery specialties didn’t teach him how to get to root causes of men’s issues and solve them. He had a health crash of his own at 42. Since neither he nor his doctor had good answers, he went on a quest of discovery and change. He founded the [Gapin Institute for High Performance Medicine] (https://gapininstitute.com/) and created the proprietary [N1 Performance Health Program] (https://gapininstitute.com/individual/) to go beyond conventional options. This conversation goes even further into what creates epigenetic signals that affect the function and expression of your genes. You’ll learn, too, that your mindset, stress and environment—and how you do or don’t control those things—have everything to do with your energy and focus.If you’re aiming for higher performance, Dr. Tracy suggests a trifecta that makes sleep a priority, builds resilience to stress, and creates consistent behaviors with intention. More about Dr. Tracy Gapin:He’s a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging, the Age Management Medical Group, and the International Peptide Society. He spent almost 20 years at a urology practice in Sarasota, Fla., where he specialized in robotic surgery, minimally invasive treatment for prostate cancer, and men’s health.
