Sapien's Playground - Medicine, Psychology, Truth Seeking and Fascinating Experiences

Aaand we're back with another great episode on Sapien's Playground! This time I had the pleasure to have a nice talk with Nick Norwitz PhD,  who has now also decided to attend Harvard Medical School to further  pursue his passion of helping people to become healthier by changing  diet and lifestyle. Nick's enthusiasm for the topics we discussed today is truly contagious  and it was really pleasant to have a conversation with a fellow medical  student who is encountering similar challenges on the way and who is  also getting confronted with uncomfortable situations and recognizing  the immense potential in regards to improving patient care in the  future. Furthermore, we had a great discussion on the topic of lipids and the  lipid energy model which was originially put forward by Nick's colleague  and friend Dave Feldman. Unfortunately, we were not quite able to get  deeper into atherosclerosis and talk about its pathophysiology, which is  of very big interest to me for various reasons, however, I'm sure that  consitutes a good topic for a part 2. Having introduced you to the topics of the podcast, enjoy listening and I  hope that you will also get caught by our enthusiasm and appreciate  Nick's unique and highly scientific approach of seeking for truth by  constantly asking questions and staying very curious, as opposed to  fighting about who is right and who is wrong thus getting trapped into a  certain ideological niche that seems to have a clear answer for  everything.

Good day everyone! I am super happy to welcome you back to another great  episode on Sapien's Playground. I had the pleasure to sit down and talk  to the popular, yet pretty controversial figure, doctor and  carnivore-proponent Dr. Shawn Baker.   Primarily, out discussion was tackling two fundamental and nowadays  highly debated questions:  Is meat really so harmful or are there maybe actually some great  benefits derived from eating more animal products? Secondly, what about veganism and vegeterianism? What is the reason for  their huge popularity and can it be considered as healthy as it is being  promoted and pushed forward by the media and also most physicians? Get ready to learn why most of the vegan propaganda is not grounded in  any high-quality science, why Dr. Baker believes that eating more meat  will make you healthier and what else is important to stay strong and  resilient into old age.  I very much apologize for the suboptimal video quality and also for the  audio lags between me and Dr. Baker. I hope that, nonetheless, the  podcast will be enjoyable and of some value to you guys.

Welcome back to Sapiens Playground! I know that it has been quite some time since the last episode with a guest, but now I'm back with another fascinating conversation about evolutionary biology with PhD candidate Raphael Sirtoli. He was been engaged in different fields of science and has researched a broad spectrum of different topics, such as cancer, paleoanthropolgy, evolutionary biology and molecular biology. Raphael currently works together with a great team of scientists and doctors in a medical clinic. Hopefully, you will also appreciate his unique approach to looking at things, especially in medicine, physiology and nutrition, through an evolutionary lens.  We start off by talking about Raphaels story which should once again teach us the lesson that there is probaly so much more in nutrition and health that we are yet to understand and find out and that we ought to be more humble as opposed to jumping to conclusions too quickly, without giving it some thorough thought.  In the main part of our conversation we mostly spend some time discussing the paper that Rapahel published together with his colleagues Miki Ben-Dor and Ran Barkai some time ago. The name of the paper is "The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene" and I would definitely highly encourage everyone with some interest in evolutionary biology and the history of human species, to read that piece of work. I promise, that you will extract a lot of value from going through it: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24247 Before wrapping up with some final questions from my audience, I decided to ask Raphael a few devils-advocate-questions, since this is what science is all about, namely - questioning your own hypotheses and staying skeptical even in regards to your own research.  Enjoy listening and I am convinced that you will be just as enlightened at the end of the podcast as I felt!

Ich begrüße euch alle! Vielen Dank, dass ihr wieder zugeschaltet habt bei Sapien's Playground! Heute hatte ich ein sehr spannendes Gespräch mit @perfomance.doc Dr. Gerrit Keferstein. Dr Keferstein ist Arzt in Hennef (Nähe Bonn) und hat mit seinem Team das MOJO-Institut gegründet, ist Spezialist für funktionelle Medizin und verfolgt einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz bei seiner Arbeit mit Sportlern und anderen Patienten mit diversen chronischen Erkrankungen.  Wir haben sehr viel darüber gesprochen, was genau die Ursachen und Mechanismen dem Typ 2 Diabetes zugrunde liegen, und was man dagegen tun kann. Gerrit erzählt über das Immunsystem und was alles dazugehört. Auf seiner Webpage bietet er einen Kurs an zur Ausbildung zum Immuncoach, was sich Immunsignatur nennt. Mit diesem Programm lässt sich das Immunsystem in allen seinen Schichten stärken und der Körper somit resilienter werden gegenüber äußeren Stressoren und Krankheiten.  Ihr werdet außerdem sehr viel lernen über das Prinzip und die Wichtigkeit von Hormesis, aka wie akuter Stress, z.B. Sport, Kälte, Hitze, Fasten, uns stärker und gesünder macht. Zum Schluss besprechen wir zum einen die positiven Seiten von Impfungen, und zum anderen beleuchet Gerrit deutlich die Risiken, die im Zusammenhang mit der aktuellen Covid-19 Impfung zu berücksichtigen sind sowie die Absurdität der Maßnahmen hinsichtlich des Drucks, welcher auf Ungeimpfte ausgeübt wird.  Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim zuhören! Hauptmessage von Gerrit: Mehr Lebendigkeit ins Leben bringen, weniger Frust, Hass und Negativität.  Die Webpage des MOJO Instituts: https://mojo-institut.de/ Mehr über Dr. Gerrit Keferstein: https://gerritkeferstein.com/ Folgt @performance.doc auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/performance.doc/ Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

"If you die before you die, then when you die you will not die...". Let this blow your mind for a second. The mindset of this man is incredible. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to speak with today's guest - Omari Jinaki, the Calisthenics Ambassador and the strongest man in Chicago and exchange and share wisdom, knowledge and experiences. This conversation went into quite a different direction than I expected, in a good sense though! We did talk about his calisthenics journey, his injuries, his take on good execution of exercises, etc. However, we discussed all these topics in the context of mindset and life which made this conversation so fascinating. I have certainly learned a lot from it and I hope you will enjoy listening to this episode! Appreciate you all!

Hallo zusammen und wilkommen zu einer weiteren Episode bei Sapien's Playground! Heute spreche ich mit Malik Abbas über viele Punkte, die hauptsächlich Ernährung betreffen. Wir gehen einigen großen Mythen nach und klären die Fragen, ob Fleisch nun schädlich ist und, ob Eier uns einen Herzinfarkt geben. Malik hat eine Ausbildung gemacht zum Sport- und Fitnesskaufmann und geht bald sein Studium in Ernährungswissenschaften an. Er hat sehr viel Wissen bezüglich Nährstoffen, Gesundheit und dem menschlichen Körper und ich mag vor allem seinen nuancierten Ansatz, bei dem er nicht in irgendwelche Dogmen oder Diet-Camps verfällt. Genießt die Episode und hoffentlich könnt ihr was hilfreiches mitnehmen!
