Alexis Cowan

Dr. Alexis Cowan, PhD, a molecular biologist specializing in nutrition and metabolism, discusses the interplay of stress, gut health, circadian rhythms, and nutrition on overall health. Topics include antibiotics' impact on microbiomes, improving gut health, nature connection, stress effects on health, light environment importance, energy expenditure control for weight, omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, and brain's role in weight gain/loss.

Dr. Alexis Cowan, PhD shares her gut protocol for chronic digestive issues, including the impact of weight loss on gut health, feeding good gut bacteria, preparation phase before starting protocol, inflammation reduction with omega-3s, the downsides of low FODMAP diets, and the link between high blood sugar and fungal overgrowth.

Dr. Alexis Cowan discusses decentralized medicine based on mitochondrial DNA, sunlight, and quantum biology, highlighting the effects of environmental factors on health. They explore the relationship between light, biology, and mitochondrial function, emphasizing the importance of research on mitochondrial health. The podcast also delves into decentralized science, the impact of sunlight on POMC and health benefits, and the significance of environment on the microbiome.

Dr. Alexis Cowan discusses the profound impact of natural light on health, debunking UV exposure myths and exploring the synergy between cold exposure and sunlight. She delves into red and infrared light therapy, mitochondria's role in ATP production, and optimizing vitamin D levels for wellness. The conversation covers light receptors, personalized sun dosing, and hormonal regulation. Tips include utilizing sunlight, balancing light exposure, and grounding techniques for improved energy production.

Dr. Alexis Cowan, a Princeton-trained PhD in molecular biology, discusses muscle-centric medicine, the safety of low carb diets, ideal meal and supplementation plans, biomarkers to focus on, and the importance of tracking metrics for muscle health. They also explore the impact of muscle on overall well-being, insulin resistance, supplementation for brain function, understanding muscle fiber types and aging, training recommendations, and the power of collaboration in sharing the message.
