Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

Tucker Goodrich and I explore sub-cellular mechanisms by which seed oils are damaging your health. We cover mitochondrial bio-energetic aetiology of disease, linoleic acid and oxidation of mitochondrial cardiolipin, how seed oils contribute to visceral fat, Tucker’s opinion on Dr Jack Kruse’s work and much, much more. This is quite a technical discussion with emphasis on the exact mechanisms of see oil harm. If you’re just learning about how seed oils damage health, I suggest listening to my first podcast with Tucker (RHP #12) for an introduction.Tucker is a financial risk analyst, self-taught engineer and citizen scientist who is a world expert in the the biochemistry of seed oils and their impact on human health.TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 Podcast begins00:02:05 The function of mitochondria00:07:05 Process of hypothesis disproving in the pursuit of science00:10:42 Understanding mitochondrial dysfunction and the bioenergetic aetiology of disease00:29:40 What is cardiolipin? 00:35:50 Dr Max’s summary of the first part of the interview00:39:50 Types of fatty acids and susceptibilities to oxidation00:53:09 Mitochondrial uncoupling, and Dr Max summarises the first hour00:58:42 What amount of linoleic acid is appropriate in cardiolipin?01:05:22 The role of 4-HNE as a marker of damage from seed oils01:12:30 4-HNE and visceral fat01:27:31 Tucker’s opinion on Dr Jack Kruse’s work01:37:43 How to excrete excess linoleic acid from the body01:47:05 Smoking a cigarette is preferable to eating seed-oil french fries?LINKSMinding My Mitochondria by Dr Terry Wahls - https://www.amazon.com/Minding-Mitochondria-2nd-progressive-wheelchair/dp/0982175086A Mitochondrial Etiology of Common Complex Diseases by Dr Doug Wallace - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aCHrHwm_AIRecommended by Tucker & Dr Max the works of Nassim Nicholas Taleb – Antifragile, The Black Swan, Fooled By Randomness, Skin in the GameFollow TUCKERTwitter – @TuckerGoodrich https://twitter.com/TuckerGoodrichBlog – https://yelling-stop.blogspot.com/Youtube – https://www.youtube.com/@TuckerGoodrich0/videosFollow DR MAXTwitter – https://twitter.com/MaxGulhaneMDInstagram – https://twitter.com/MaxGulhaneMDApple Podcasts –  https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1661751206Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/6edRmG3IFafTYnwQiJjhwRLinktree: https://linktr.ee/maxgulhanemdSend us a textPurchase tickets to Regenerate here - https://regenerateaus.com/ Support the show

In this episode David Bushell explains the waning efficacy of industrial herbicides in monocropping agriculture, parallels of conventional agronomy with with the pharmaceutical-based medical system, regenerative agricultural solutions, and much more.David Bushell is a consultant Agronomist of more than 30 years experience. After advising farmers for many decades on a lists of chemical herbicides and fungicides to spray on their fields, David now advocates regenerative and rotational practices that improve the quality of the soil and long-term economic viability of farms without the need for chemical inputs.

Carrie Bennett, a quantum health practitioner, shares insights on optimizing health through circadian biology, addressing hormone balance and weight regulation, optimizing hormone balance through fasting and light exposure, discussing non-native EMFs impact, and optimizing light environment for health and fertility.

Dr Jack Kruse joins me to continue our discussion on WATER and its bio-physical properties as it relates to human health and disease. In this conversation Dr Kruse explains deuterium, the fourth phase of water, food as an electromagnetic barcode of sunlight, cellular redox, mitochondria as your 6th sense, the fundamental drivers of metabolic disease, and much, much more. This is Part III of the Jack Kruse Series. In these conversations we explore Dr Kruse’s paradigm of health centered on Light, Water and Magnetism, mitochondrial and circadian function and how these are impacted to influence human health and disease.Dr Jack Kruse is a practicing neurosurgeon, biophysicist and health optimisation researcher.

Dr Jack Kruse joins me in an epic three-hour interview to weave the story of human evolution fundamentally tied to light. He describes our transition from furry ground dwelling mammals to upright walking primates, the critical role of the POMC gene, melanin and function of mitochondria as producers of endogenous light, as well as the distortion of the light environment as the key underlying driver of modern chronic disease.Dr Jack Kruse is a neurosurgeon, biophysicist, health optimisation researcher and founding father of the circadian health / mitochondrial medicine movement. This is the first in a series of interviews with Dr Kruse that will also cover water and magnetism, two further installments in a trilogy that strongly challenges the centrality of diet as the chief determinant of optimal health.

Dr. Robert Kiltz is a seasoned reproductive endocrinologist who advocates for carnivore diets to enhance fertility. He discusses our evolved diet, arguing that traditional plant-based recommendations may worsen health issues. Kiltz believes animal fats are crucial for fertility and metabolic health, challenging societal norms around dieting. He explores the implications of fasting for women, the toxicity of certain plants, and the importance of self-experimentation with diet. This insightful conversation encourages listeners to rethink their dietary choices for better health outcomes.
