Part 181 - Elliot Overton on 2 Huge Nutrition Aspects That Could Change Your Health
After developing some minor health issues of his own after an extended back-packing trip through Asia, Elliot decided to take responsibility and began researching ways by which he could find resolution without the use of pharmaceutical medications. Elliot soon discovered that the solution to his problems was rooted in nutrition and basic lifestyle principles. Elliot's experience, and the experience of those close to him, demonstrated the power of nutritional intervention. Elliots success in improving his own health journey inspired him to study nutrition at a professional standard so that he could go on to help others along the way. Elliot trained as a nutritional therapist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in the UK, and later gained a qualification in Functional Medicine. https://www.eonutrition.co.uk/ BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES 01:20 How Elliot got interested in thiamine 06:50 Are you getting enough Thiamine When animals were given large doses of thiamine before being exposed to head trauma, it was shown to mitigate many of the negative ramifications of the head injury, and allow for normal functions to be carried out at a greater rate than the control group. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0005272818301208 Very high doses of B1 have been found to completely abolish symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. https://www.hormonesmatter.com/new-developments-in-high-dose-thiamine-the-legacy-of-antonio-costantini/ Large doses of thiamine have also demonstrated two almost completely abolished symptoms of fibromyalgia seemingly overnight. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3669831/#:~:text=Some%20observations%20indicate%20that%20the,mitochondria%20or%20to%20enzymatic%20abnormalities. 21:20 Why don't more people know about thiamine? 38:00 Oxalates and thiamine Elliot credits much of his knowledge of oxalates to Susan Owens, who's website can be found here: http://lowoxalate.info/ 54:40 Brian's story with oxalates 59:10 signs and symptoms of oxalates issues 1:10:00 Why Elliot chose thiamine and oxalates 1:17:00 Thiamine and the diet 1:30:00 How to find Elliot Instagram- https://instagram.com/eonutrition?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Twitter- Elliot Overton (@EO_Nutrition) / Twitter https://twitter.com/eo_nutrition?lang=en YouTube - https://youtube.com/@EONutrition Website- https://www.eonutrition.co.uk/ BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post Film site: http://FoodLies.org YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoodLies Follow along: http://twitter.com/FoodLiesOrg http://instagram.com/food.lies http://facebook.com/FoodLiesOrg

Part 172 - Dan Kittredge on the Amazing Power of Nutrient Density and How to Measure It
Dan Kittredge has been an organic farmer for more than 30 years and is the founder and executive director of the Bionutrient Food Association (BFA), a non-profit whose mission is to “increase quality in the food supply.” Known as one of the leading proponents of “nutrient density,” Dan works to demonstrate the connections between soil health, plant health, and human health. Out of these efforts was born the Real Food Campaign, now the Bionutrient Institute, which has engineered a prototype of a hand-held consumer spectrometer designed to test nutrient density at point of purchase. Via the Bionutrient Meter, the goal is to empower consumers to choose for nutrient quality and thereby leverage economic incentives to drive full system regeneration. https://www.bionutrientinstitute.org/meetdan BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Support me on Patreon! http://patreon.com/peakhuman SHOW NOTES 00:00 - Dan's upcoming events 00:45- Why should we care about nutrient density? 1:25 - Weston A.
