Health Via Modern Nutrition with Dr. Latt Mansor

Fixing healthcare costs & health insurance is part of standard political speeches & debates for US presidential candidates today. Everyone knows there’s a problem with the healthcare system. However, virtually all of the politician's discussions & proposals are based on bandaid solutions. The real issue? The healthcare crisis begins with our widespread health crisis. No politician is talking about how modern lifestyle and industrialized nutrition is destroying the health of millions of Americans. No politician is going to talk about this because telling the masses that their comfortable lifestyle is unhealthy and dangerous is not what they want to hear. Healthcare is primarily fixing people when they're broken. Our current society and culture are breaking too many people, too quickly. In this video, Geoffrey Woo dives deep into the issues of healthcare, population health, and what he believes we can all do to steer society in a better direction.

Sleep is known as a common "pillar of health", yet is increasingly neglected in our modern society. Although technology has constantly been advancing, our beds have remained largely the same. Stanford Professor Craig Heller & Matteo Franceschetti from Eight Sleep joins the podcast to discuss the science of better sleep. How can we translate the "gold standard" of a clinical sleep environment to our own sleeping routines...our own homes? What sleep biomarkers make up a good night's rest? How important is body temperature for optimal sleep?  In addition, we discuss: Sleep technology: The drawbacks of wearables, envisioning a future in which we can control and create our own optimal "sleep environment", & the power of thermoregulation. How measuring "quality" of sleep works in a home setting and in a clinical setting Importance of accessible & long-term health data: How did Matteo use his sleep data to predict oncoming illnesses?

Dr. Carrie Diulus is a US board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, endurance athlete, and thriving Type 1 diabetic. Her choice of fuel for success? A plant-based, vegan, ketogenic diet. It's common to think that ketogenic diets need animal-based nutrition sources, yet Dr. Diulus is a shining example for how a ketogenic diet can successfully be adapted to suit the individual. In this episode, Geoff & Dr. Diulus discuss: What led Carrie to choose a ketogenic diet to combat her Type 1 diabetes? Where does she get high sources of plant-based fat and protein from? With Dr. Diulus' holistic approach to patient-centered care, how is she seeing ketogenic / low-carb diets improving surgery outcomes in her own patients? Multi-day fasting, exogenous ketones, and other insulin-targeting interventions for improving metabolic health You can learn more about Dr. Carrie Diulus here: http://www.drcarriediulus.com/ Learn more about our Keto Collagen Plus: https://go.hvmn.com/keto-collagen-plus ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone Ester giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

A new study, conducted by MIT, explored how a ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones govern signaling biological programs that maintain intestinal stem cell function. We know ketone bodies like beta-hydroxybutyrate have signaling roles in the body and can help regulate things like appetite, metabolism, and neurotransmitter function. This study provides evidence that BHB itself may play a key mediating role in maintaining intestinal health too. Do ketones themselves (and not necessarily through fasting or a ketogenic diet) alone drive some of the metabolic and functional benefits? What were the exact findings? Let's find out.

Mikhaila Peterson has officially coined her version of the carnivore diet: The Lion Diet. Strictly sticking to ruminant meat, salt, and water cured Mikhaila of her autoimmune issues back in 2018. Most recently, she's been experimenting with multi-day intermittent fasting as another lifestyle and nutritional intervention. While Mikhaila initially targeted for fat loss, she also found that fasting was a profound tool for mental health and emotional stability. What else happens when a carnivore embarks on a 7-day fast? Let's find out. In this episode, Geoff and Mikhaila discuss: 7-Day Fasting: Experience, biomarker data, lessons learned, and tips & tricks The carnivore diet and how it may have affected Mikhaila's microbiome (resulting in C.

Dr. Latt Mansor is the new Research Lead of H.V.M.N, and we're proud to share his fascinating research and upcoming work with our listeners! In Dr. Mansor's thesis study, he found that the diabetic heart retains metabolic flexibility to adapt to hypoxia. Hypoxia is a condition when the body lacks adequate oxygen. Since diabetic hearts are more prone to hypoxia, getting closer to understanding if it could adapt to it was an important finding. For context, diabetes and hypoxia have opposing effects on metabolic substrates in the heart. Diabetes promotes fatty acid oxidation and suppresses glycolysis, whereas adaptation to hypoxia suppresses fatty acid oxidation and promotes glycolysis. The key result of Dr. Mansor's paper was that diabetic hearts did indeed adapt to chronic hypoxia, by increasing glycolysis and decreasing fatty acid oxidation. In addition, Geoff & Dr. Mansor discuss: The implications of the study that was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Medicine, which discovered how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability The complex relationship between diet, oxygen, and HIF (our oxygen-sensing pathway) The potential of ketones to improve metabolic inflexiblity Dr. Mansor's study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4713751 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Animal-based vs. plant-based nutrition - What's most optimal for human health & performance? Frank Tufano, a follower of an animal-based, zero-carb diet for over 5 years, has garnered quite a unique reputation on Youtube. Along with his informative videos on the ins-and-outs of a carnivorous lifestyle, Frank doesn't shy away from scrutinizing the rapidly growing (and arguably more culturally accepted) plant-based diet. In this podcast, Geoff and Frank discuss: · The cultural impact of a recent study (published in Annals of Internal Medicine) that concluded that the current public-health recommendation to eat less red and processed meat isn’t backed by strong evidence · Cooked meat vs. Raw meat: What are the proposed benefits for consuming raw meat or fermented foods? · Analyzing the common arguments for veganism (i.e. reducing environmental impact) and how Frank debunks them Check out Frank's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIEiE-hnAUXUZNNeMJsZBYA/featured ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

With the 100-Mile American Record already under his belt (for 5+ years), ultra endurance athlete Zach Bitter just outdid himself on August 25th, 2019. He crushed the 100-Mile World Record, setting a 6:48-mile pace and besting the previous world record by nearly 10 minutes. Zach is notable for his low-carb, high-fat, animal-based lifestyle as a professional endurance athlete. He first transitioned to the ketogenic diet during an off-season, and immediately felt his sleep, energy, and recovery improve. By developing a flexible, fat-adapted metabolism, he's able to tactically use carbs to maximize racing performance. In this episode, Geoff & Zack discuss: · Zack's 100 Mile World Record, his mental game during racing, and why he got into ultra-endurance sport · LCHF diets for therapeutic cases vs. performance cases...does an athlete have more "leeway" with eating carbohydrates? · Carnivore diet for leaky gut & autoimmune issues Check out Zack's podcast here: https://humanperformanceoutliers.libsyn.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

"Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable." In his new book, "Lifespan", David Sinclair has proposed a radical new theory of aging, suggesting that the aging hallmarks are symptoms of epigenetic changes that occur over time, but that the original genetic code remains very much intact. If we can reset the code, can we slow, stop or even reverse aging? Sinclair believes we can. Geoffrey Woo, after digesting "Lifespan", has formulated some interesting thoughts based on the information given and hypotheses proposed in the book. In this book review, Geoff details the core concepts of aging, the practical ways we can slow it, & his final verdict on Sinclair's bold theory for extending longevity.
