Health Via Modern Nutrition with Dr. Latt Mansor

Dr. Tamsin Lewis is a medical doctor, qualified with honours from King's College London and Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital, with a specific interest in targeted lifestyle and nutritional interventions for improving health-span. Dr. Lewis was also a pro triathlete and became an Ironman Champion in 2014 – winning Ironman UK on her first attempt at the distance. Despite a clear and continuous passion for her health and wellness, Dr. Lewis fell ill to the novel COVID-19 virus on March 14th, 2020. In this podcast episode, host Geoffrey Woo digs into Dr. Lewis' unfortunate experience battling the coronavirus. Dr. Lewis shares helpful information she has gathered from her personal experience, including a time-table of the symptoms she recognized, how wearable biometric devices such as the Oura Ring were valuable, and how she responded taking the various pharmaceuticals (such as hydroxychloroquine) prescribed to her.

To follow your "gut", it's essential to have a healthy gut in the first place. Most still shudder at the thought of bacteria flowing around in their body, but probiotics / prebiotics play a hugely important role in the health of your microbiome. Kombucha is a fairly recent and accessible beverage that introduces healthy bacteria into your diet. In this episode, we welcome Vanessa Dew, the co-founder of Health-Ade Kombucha. Geoff & Vanessa discuss the following and much more: How is kombucha brewed and why exactly is it healthy Building the fast-growing kombucha brand from scratch The future of kombucha and why the category is growing so quickly...could it catch up to the likes of "big soda"?

On an episode of the Netflix show "Goop Lab", Gwyneth Paltrow followed the 'fast mimicking diet' for five days. According to the experiment featured in the episode, she lowered her biological age by 1.7 years. Essentially a form of extreme calorie restriction, can a fast mimicking diet actually mimic...a true intermittent fast? Geoffrey Woo & Dr. Latt Mansor dive into a fun conversation and discuss the proposed science behind it.   Learn more about H.V.M.N. here: https://www.hvmn.com/pod -------------------------------------------------------------------- Send a message to podcast@hvmn.com with feedback, questions, and guest suggestions!

Dr. Hayley Teasdale is the new Lead Scientist over at Halo Neuroscience. Halo developed a headset (Halo Sport 2) that applies a small electric current (a method specifically known as transcranial direct current stimulation) to the part of the brain that controls movement, activating neurons so they fire more often when you train. The more neurons fire, together, the faster pathways are built in your brain. Prior to joining Halo, Dr. Teasdale came from a research background focused on non-invasive brain stimulation and motor control in Parkinson's Disease, with a particular angle on training proprioception and balance in order to prevent falls. In this episode, Geoff and Dr. Teasdale discuss... The importance of proprioception, which is the sense of self-movement and body position. It is sometimes described as the "sixth sense". As modern society evolved, have humans (at some level) lost their ability to truly tap into this sense? How does brain stimulation work mechanistically? What literature supports positive outcomes using transcranial direct stimulation? What are the pros and cons of TDCS, along with other forms of brain stimulation? The ever-evolving brain and how neuroplasticity evolves as we age, train, and learn. Save $75 off Halo Sport 2 by following this link: gethalosport.com/hvmn or use code "HVMN2020" at checkout.

At this point, we've heard of many adults following the ketogenic diet to great success, but what about developing children? When Danny Vega, an active athlete who received his M.S. in Human Performance from University of Florida, discovered the ketogenic diet in 2016...he never looked back. With so many years of pushing and stressing his body, experiencing the benefits of reduced inflammation, improved mental clarity, and overall well-being, Danny knew then that low-carb nutrition was a key pillar for his health. His ketogenic lifestyle also made an influence on his family, including his young children. They all follow the keto diet, genuinely love it, and report similar yet varying benefits that help each member prosper in their own way. Maura Vega (@fatfueledmom), suffered from eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and postpartum depression...keto corrected all of that. Dean, the youngest, has had astounding improvements in his eczema and mood. Desmond, the eldest, felt an immediate increase in energy and improvement in his allergies and asthma. In this episode, Geoff and Danny have a balanced chat about ketogenic nutrition, fitness & muscle-building, philosophy, public education, and much more.

Dr. Richard Veech spent decades studying human metabolism, with his scientific contributions, (particularly in the keto field), being highly lauded among his colleagues. "He has redefined our understanding of metabolism," said Dr. Thomas Seyfried of Boston College. In an airplane crash of 48 passengers in 1968, only 10 survived...including Dr. Veech. He was named a Hero of New Hampshire for providing medical care to the survivors even though he had a broken back. At age 84, Dr. Richard Veech passed away on Jan 30, 2020. We dedicate this episode of "Geoff Talk" to Veech's memory & scientific legacy. Geoff starts off with Dr. Veech's biographical facts, dives into some of his most interesting contributions to science, and discusses how Dr. Veech's work inspires his thinking and gives an indication to where the future of ketone metabolism, human performance, and healthspan is headed.

Ditch the flat treadmill. Hit the winding, mountainous, rocky trail instead. In this podcast, we chat with Erwan Le Corre (founder of MovNat). He follows a primal lifestyle of "natural movement", one that reconnects himself to the natural, innate capabilities of the human body. In modernity, most people only do a few movements each day, commonly finding themselves stuck in environments that limits their ability to move as freely as their ancestors could have. Geoff and Erwan and dig into the benefits of engaging with natural movements, why it might even be more beneficial for your cognition vs. pumping iron in the gym, and much more.
