#256: Dr Louis Ignarro - Nobel Prize Winner Explains How To Supercharge Your Health
Dr Louis Ignarro is an American pharmacologist, Professor Emeritus in the UCLA school of Medicine and the co-winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize.
Dr Ignarro and colleagues won the Nobel prize in 1998 for their demonstration that nitric oxide, a molecule that we will discuss in depth, worked as a signalling agent within the cardiovascular system. This finding later gave birth to viagra. You heard that right.
Now if you’re listening to this, and wondering what the hell is nitric oxide, what the hell is the cardiovascular system, and why should I even care? Well, please don’t be put off. It’s explained very well throughout the podcast by Dr Ignarro. Moreover, the reason that you should care is that this molecule has the potential to make or break your health.
You can expect to learn what nitric oxide is, why it’s crucial for brain health, preventing diseases like Alzheimers, how it boosts learning and memory, why it’s key for reducing your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes and more. We talk about practical ways to boost nitric oxide and you can also expect to learn did winning the Nobel Prize make Dr Ignarro any happier..

#255: Tova Friedman - My Story Of Surviving Auschwitz, The Gas Chamber, Starvation & More
Tova Friedman is a holocaust survivor of Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was five when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau.
Malcolm Brabant also joined us and co-authored the book. Malcolm is a veteran foreign correspondent with experience reporting from over 80 countries.
During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale.
As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova’s father tracked them down and the family was reunited.
In this interview today, I spoke with Tova about:
- Her earliest memories of Auschwitz
- Having her head shaved and tattooed at 5 years old
- What it was like sleeping next to dead corpses
- How she survived the Gas Chamber
- What she would say to Adolf Hitler today & more
