A True Citizen Scientist- ER Nurse Darius Sharpe! 636
Send us a textDarius Sharpe has an extensive 22-year career in healthcare, including 3 years as an EMT, 13 years as a paramedic, and 6 years as an ER nurse. He is a dedicated fitness and health enthusiast, regularly participating in endurance events such as Spartan Races and marathons. Despite maintaining good health, he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic some years ago and discovered a CAC score of 44 at the age of 39 in the summer of 2023. Since then, he has devoted significant effort to understanding the reasons behind these health issues and determining the appropriate course of action. Darius has become increasingly dissatisfied with the current medical system and has questioned why doctors do not prescribe nutrition and exercise plans to patients instead of solely relying on medication. Drawing on his medical background, Darius has delved deeply into the realms of nutrition, metabolic illness, diabetes, cardiac disease, and autoimmunity. He continues to educate himself daily and has been amazed to discover in the literature how many of these conditions can be prevented, reversed, or improved through simple dietary changes.Find Darius at-IG- @murse_dariusTW- @MurseDariusFB- Darius Sharpehttps://cosci.org/Find Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

My Unremarkable Brain- Keto Diets and Epilepsy with David Robinson! 632

David is the author of ,a hilarious and inspiring book, where David, a serial dieter and middle-aged "fathlete", takes readers on a ride into the strange and surprising world of American health culture. At the age of forty, after living for over a decade with epilepsy, David decided to put his brain to the task of figuring out the best way to eat and live. What he discovered was a community of medical experts, thought leaders, and regular folks gathered around the keto diet- a much-reviled "fad diet", that is, in fact, a proven, 100-year old medical treatment for epilepsy and other brain disorders.Find David at- https://unremarkablebrain.substack.com/Amazon- My Unremarkable Brain: A Fat-Fueled Adventure into the World of Epilepsy and the Ketogenic DietIG- @drobinsonwritesTW- @DRobinsonWritesFB- @David RobinsonFind Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

The Lipid Energy Model with Cholesterol Expert Dave Feldman! 627
Send us a textDave Feldman is a returning guest on our show! Check out his first appearance on Boundless Body Radio on episode 109, where he was interviewed by our mutual friend, guest host Dr. Nick Norwitz! Dave Feldman is a senior software engineer, entrepreneur and a citizen scientist. After starting a low-carb diet in 2015, Dave found that his cholesterol numbers had increased considerably. He then began reverse-engineering the lipid system through self-experimentation and testing, finding the system to be very dynamic and fluid. He has now demonstrated this phenomenon multiple times by moving his cholesterol up and down substantially in a matter of days. He’s discovered similar and reproducible patterns in others and has since researched a particular phenotype that he coined “lean mass hyper responder”, or LMHR for short.Dave is the creator of the popular blog Cholesterol Code, where he shares all of his knowledge and research. Dave is also the founder of the Citizen Science Foundation, a non-profit that has funded several incredible studies. Dave has recently hosted the incredible Collaborative Science Conference in his hometown of Las Vegas in March of 2024, which I was fortunate to attend.
