This episode takes you through how Patrick discovered his heart disease and discovering what he calls the seven-headed dragon. Patrick shares his knowledge of dynamic systems to reverse a seemingly irreversible health condition. Patrick shares his strategic use of a ketogenic diet when looking at cardiovascular disease as well as one meal a day eating.Who is Patrick Theut?Patrick is a biochemist that has vested in over 16,000 hours of study, spread over many years in order to address and resolve his extensive plaque buildup in the Left Main coronary artery of his heart. He has been observing his medical condition for many years and has discovered long-forgotten literature associated with Vitamin K and how the Vitamin K is key for his treatment of his Coronary artery disease, but he was actually taking only a fraction of the dosage needed to help.To battle with his serious medical condition, he had started researching various cures, aids and supplementations and what was their direct impact on his health.Patrick is an engineer who has successfully managed to reverse his coronary artery disease.Patrick is the founder of the Track Your Plaque group where they track different heavy conditions that can be impacted by the Vitamin K.Highlights[3:50] How did Patrick find out he had heart disease and how it affected him?[19:33] Heart disease as a gut bacteria problem and surface chemistry problem.[25:20] What is fetuin a?[28:09] What is the purpose of LDL and HDL?[31:44] Why Patrick hasn't brushed his teeth in 10 years.[48:48] Why is a ketogenic diet so important here?[1:05:40] Talk about Vitamin KResources​The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent PealeLife Extension: A Practical Scientific Approach Adding Years to Your Life and Life to Your YearsFramingham Heart Study (FHS)Lore of Running by Timothy NoakesX3: 10 Minute Workouts, Reversing Osteoporosis, and OMADVitamin K and Vitamin K-Dependent Proteins by Dr. Sarah BoothsVitamin K and its analogsShould I take vitamin K2? | Dr. William DavisVitamin K and Cardiovascular diseaseSponsorSourcing Vitamin K in high doses is difficult.I have gone through bottles and bottles and bottles and bottles and paid countless taxes to import vitamin K and smaller doses. But Patrick makes high dose Vitamin K and produces it at a very, very reasonable cost. If you go to his website k-vitamins.com you can check out Koncentrated K and pick them up for yourself.Patrick's giving me no compensation for this. He did not ask for this, but I'm giving it to you because I think it's important that if you want to source high dose vitamin K, you know where to get it.DisclaimerThis information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

This is part two of an interview with Dr. Ted Achacoso. Dr. Achacoso continues to blow me away with his knowledge and ability to make complexity fun. Part two includes deep dives into nootropics, Health Optimization Medicine, Blue Cannatine, and microdosing.Who is Dr. Ted Achacoso? Dr. Ted Achacoso earned his college degree in Biology at the age of 18 and his Doctor of Medicine degree at the age of 22. At 25, he was a fellow of interventional neuroradiology, a research professor of pharmacology and toxicology, and a clinical professor of neurology in Manila. At 28, he became a professor of medical informatics and of interventional neuroradiology in Washington, DC, where he also performed artificial intelligence research biased towards connectionist systems. At 30, he began science and technology consulting for socially responsible investment funds. At 35, he founded and ran a group collaboration software company and created the first wireless groupware. At 40 he traded currencies using artificial intelligence predictive techniques for a private fund. At 45, he retrained in Interventional Endocrinology (Anti-Aging Medicine) and in Nutritional Medicine in Paris, and became double board-certified in both specialties. Dr. Ted wrote the first-ever connectome (of C. elegans) in a book, is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, holds US patents and software algorithms, provides TV and podcast interviews, and delivers lectures. He currently has a tri-continental practice in Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe), a clinical framework that he pioneered to include health management in a disease management practice. He also formulated the Blue Cannatine nootropic troche, a product in the Troscriptions line of Smarter Not Harder, Inc.What is HOMe? Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) is a new specialty that takes care of the health of the basic cell that is common to all cells in the body --- the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and other organelles, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, cytoplasm, microtubules, etc --- which forms the base of specialized cells like muscle cells and neurons, and which in turn, makes up the specialized organs in the body like the heart and the brain. HOMe is for physicians and HOPe (Health Optimization Practice) is for non-physician healthcare practitioners.“Illness Medicine” diagnoses and treats disease at the level of the organ, for example, cardiology and neurology. In contrast, “Health Optimization Medicine” detects and corrects imbalances at the level of the metabolome, for example, intra-cellular mitochondrial metabolites, extra-cellular microbial metabolites, and inter-cellular neurohormones. HOMe and HOPe use the sciences of Clinical Metabolomics, Epigenetics, Bioenergetics, Gut Immune System, Exposomics, Chronobiology, and Evolutionary Medicine – subjects currently not taught in medical and allied health schools.The science of HOMe/HOPe is “network-wide range shifting,” meaning shifting the objectively detected levels of metabolites, especially of the major hormone and nutrient networks, into the optimal ranges seen in healthy adults aged 21 to 30. This means that HOMe/HOPe does not use the same reference ranges for laboratory tests used in Illness Medicine, for example, for hyper- or hypothyroidism. This also means that an entire metabolic subnetwork of values is shifted and not just one value, for example, in nutrient optimization, Vitamin E is never given singly but always in relation to the measured levels of all the other major antioxidants in the Antioxidant Regeneration Pathway. Since manipulating one node within a network contextually affects the other nodes to which it is connected, the art of HOMe/HOPe is in manipulating the metabolic subnetwork such that borderline deficiencies and subtle toxicities are corrected to the point of concomitant subjective increase in well-being and health, for example, experiencing increased libido and decreased frequency of self-limiting infectious illnesses.Whereas Illness Medicine is after diagnosis and treatment of disease, lifespan, and quantity, Health Optimization Medicine and Practice is after detection and correction of imbalances, healthspan, and quality. Illness Medicine asks for Immortality. Health Optimization Medicine and Practice asks for Eternal Youth. Together they provide the full spectrum of health care.Highlights[2:57] The difference between Health Optimization Medicine and Functional Medicine[7:12] What role hormones play in Health Optimization Medicine[8:50] Work-life balance vs. work-life integration[14:55] Self-awareness as a metric[18:02] Peptides as a tool for optimization[21:46] Addressing concerns around exogenous growth hormone[24:41] Nootropics[28:18] What happens when you take nootropics without getting the foundations right[32:01] Designing the perfect experiment for microdosing LSD[37:39] Dr. Ted's nootropic formulation, Blue Cannatine[47:21] Dr. Ted answers the Superhuman 6ResourcesHealth Optimization MedicineBlue CannatineAntonio DamasioThe Third WaveWhat are genome editing and CRISPR-Cas9?RockyIllusions by Richard BachBlue CannatineThe nootropic I'm most excited about coming to market this year is Blue Cannatine.
