David Raubenheimer & Stephen Simpson: Nutritional Geometry & The Protein Leverage Hypothesis
David Raubenheimer is a Professor of Nutritional Ecology at the University of Sydney who specialises in nutritional and appetite regulation. His approach is comparative, using ecological and evolutionary diversity to understand these interactions. David’s studies of insects, fish, birds and a variety of mammals have helped develop a new approach to human nutrition-related problems, such as the dietary causes of obesity. Stephen Simpson is a Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney. He has a background in experimental psychology, zoology and nutritional biology. Stephen is one of the world’s foremost entomologists and nutritional biologists, and in 2015 he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia for eminent service to biological and biomedical science.David and Stephen have been working together for decades on a unifying approach to nutrition and energy balance. Their investigations began with the question of why animals in the wild are so capable of regulating their food intake as to avoid the conditions of excess that humans are experiencing at startling rates. This led them to investigate the impacts of various ratios of macronutrients on food intake in animals from locusts to primates. Their findings led them to formulate the “Protein Leverage Hypothesis”, which broadly states that animals prioritise the consumption of protein and eat various foods until a ‘target’ of protein is met.David & Stephen's Work:Eat Like The AnimalsThe Nature of NutritionObesity: the protein leverage hypothesisNutrition, ecology and nutritional ecology: toward an integrated frameworkMy Work:WebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeLinktree

Michael Crawford: DHA, Prenatal Nutrition & The Shrinking Brain
Michael Crawford, PhD, is a British researcher who focuses on the importance of marine fatty acids in human development and health outcomes. Michael got his PhD in 1960 in chemical pathology at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, University of London. Since then, Michael has been a vital part of countless projects including setting up advanced medical schools and hospitals in Uganda, working with the Indonesian government on marine farming projects, all the while becoming the world’s expert in essential fatty acids.Michael has a particular interest in the role and necessity of docosahexanoic acid (the omega-3 fatty acid DHA) and arachadonic acid in the evolution of the brain. Humans have the largest brain relative to body size, and our brains are made predominantly of highly unsaturated fatty acids; particularly DHA. Without the consistent consumption of seafood during our early evolution as we left the trees and departed our primate ancestors, we could never have developed the cranial capacity we eventually did. However, with shifting dietary patterns and destruction of marine habitats, the all-critical marine food web is being damaged. Micheal posits that this will spell disaster for humanity if we do not maintain a strong relationship with these essential marine nutrients.Michael’s new book, “The Shrinking Brain” documents how our brains developed, what has gone wrong over the last century, and what we can do to optimally nourish ourselves and our progeny. He also has several recent publications regarding the quantum mechanical effects of DHA in signal transduction in the brain.Michael's Work:The Shrinking BrainDocosahexaenoic Acid Explains the Unexplained in Visual TransductionFollow My Work:WebsiteConsultationsInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple Podcasts

Nina Jablonski: Biological & Social Impacts of Skin Color
Nina G. Jablonski is an American anthropologist and palaeobiologist who’s work focusses on the social and biological meanings of skin color in humans. She completed her PhD in Anthropology in 1981 and she is currently an Evan Pugh University Professor at Pennsylvania State University. Her work spans broad yet intimately connected topics such as human evolution, human diversity, and racism. She was recently elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and in 2009, she was elected to the American Philosophical Society.-Nina is the author of several books including “Living Color: The Biological and Social Meaning of Skin Color”, and “Skin: A Natural History” which examine the biological basis of skin pigmentation as well as the sociocultural implications of varying degrees of melanin density.- Timestamps00:00:00 - Intro00:01:32 - How Nina Started Studying Skin00:11:45 - The Goldilocks Zone of UV Exposure00:16:22 - Evolutionary Depigmentation Events00:22:58 - Discussing Skin Pigmentation in the Medical Field00:28:37 - Balancing Sun Exposure in Our Unnatural World00:31:42 - Vitamin D or Sunlight?00:39:32 - Epidemiology of Skin Cancers & Public Health Messaging00:44:33 - How Pigmentation Impacts Addictive Behaviour Patterns00:48:22 - Color-Based Discrimination00:58:08 - Dissecting Race & Culture with Regard to Identity01:01:28 - Importance of Early Childhood Education01:05:08 - Categorical Thinking & Minimal Group Paradigm Bias01:07:20 - Nina’s Current Projects01:09:19 - Hair in Human Culture01:12:59 - Outro-Follow Nina HereWebsiteBooks-Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedinLinktree

Stephanie Seneff: Glyphosate & Deuterium Synergy
Stephanie Seneff, PhD, is a world-leading expert on the herbicide glyphosate and it’s host of detrimental effects on plants, animals and microbes. Her publications and book, “Toxic Legacy” have laid the foundation for understanding the implications of widespread use of this weed-killer, particularly as it pertains to developmental disorders and metabolic disorders. She has also contributed greatly in the fields of sulphur metabolism, statin drug side-effects, heavy metal toxicity and more.-Stephanie was the first guest I had on the podcast back in 2021, so it’s a real pleasure to be able to speak with her again and expand on what she’s been working on. In this conversation, we centre our discussion around deuterium; a heavy isotope of hydrogen. Having recently spoken with Gábor Somlyai, PhD, who is the father of deuterium science in biology, this conversation follows very naturally. I sincerely appreciate Stephanie’s work as she has put her reputation on the line many times to pursue interesting and fruitful ideas that often clash with mainstream dogma. I think many of her ideas will be proven eventually as they all follow an elegant logic.- Follow Stephanie's WorkPeer Reviewed PublicationsToxic Legacy Book- Follow My WorkWebsiteConsultationInstagramYoutubeSpotifyApple PodcastsLinkedin

Gábor Somlyai: Deuterium Depletion & Defeating Cancer
Gábor Somlyai is a molecular biologist and world’s leading expert in the area of deuterium in biology. He has been working for over 30 years to research and publish his findings on the role of deuterium depletion in cancer.Gábor graduated as a biologist from the University of Szeged in 1982. He received a scholarship from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences while studying for his PhD and defended his thesis in molecular biology in 1988.-In the wake of the Hungarian Nobel-prize winning scientist Albert Szent-Györgyi – who said that the true cause of cancer should be looked for at the sub-molecular level – Gábor began his examining the biological importance of naturally occurring deuterium as a senior research fellow at the Hungarian Institute of Oncology in 1990.-In 1993 Gábor established HYD LLC. for Cancer Research and Drug Development to carry out cancer research and drug development based on the proprietary procedure called deuterium depletion. He has 2 books, ‘Defeating Cancer’, published in the year 2000, and ‘Deuterium Depletion: A New Way in Curing Cancer and Preserving Health’. Gábor is a holder of numerous international patents, an author of more than 40 scientific publications, and is a highly sought-after speaker at international conferences.-Gábor's Work:PublicationsPreventa Deuterium Depleted WaterBook: Deuterium Depletion: A New Way in Curing Cancer and Preserving Health-Follow My Work Here:WebsiteInstagramConsultations
