LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam

If we look back at the last 200 years, we can see that human evolution was not designed to deal with the drugs, chemicals, and pollutants that are part of the modern day world. This is why it is so important to support liver health for our overall well-being. The liver is basically our processing plant for toxins. And it all comes back to gut health - when we have negative bacteria in our gut, that directly affects our liver detoxification pathways. I'm joined by Kyal Van Der Leest, founder of LVLUP Health. We're discussing everything you need to know about how to optimize your liver health, and how it connects to the health of your gut. We also dive into the skin issues that can arise from the body releasing toxins, and how if your detox pathways aren't optimized, your skin is ultimately not going to look as good as it could. Kyal Van Der Leest is a nutritionist, naturopath, and functional health coach turned formulator who now runs LVLUP Health. He founded LVLUP Health to create powerful cutting edge supplement tools that people could use to improve their health using the unique formulations that combine orally bioavailable peptides with naturopathic botanicals and nutritional supplement ingredients. What we discuss: 00:02:29 - Why all health begins in the gut 00:04:35 - The different phases of detoxification 00:11:25 - Are detox products beneficial? 00:19:58 - The Complete Liver Complex 00:26:24 - How TUDCA works 00:33:29 - How releasing toxins can result in skin issues 00:40:44 - How AHK supports the culture networks of the skin 00:44:00 - Botox-like peptides 00:50:21 - How Botox can have an effect on your liver 01:02:28 - How the peptide Svetinorm is beneficial for the liver Key Takeaways: Svetinorm is a bio-regulator peptide that has beneficial effects on the liver, such as supporting protein synthesis. When we have negative bacteria in our gut, that directly affects our liver detoxification pathways. By focusing on optimizing the health of our gut, we can lift some of the burden being put on our liver, and help support the detoxification process. By supporting gut health, you will indirectly support skin health, too. If you don't have the inflammation from the gut, then you're less likely to be inflamed in the skin.

Did you know that the health of your microbiome affects your mental health, metabolism, and immune system? There's really no part of your body that's not affected by your microbiome health. I'm joined by Awais Spall, certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. We're discussing how he combines Ayurveda, Functional Medicine, and peptides to create a protocol that helps optimize the health of the microbiome. If you're new to the system of Ayurveda, you'll want to tune in as we deep dive into the definition of Ayurveda and the three doshas it consists of. Awais Spall FDN-P is a Functional Medicine practitioner based out of Santa Monica, CA. Prior to becoming a health practitioner, Awais worked as a formulation chemist for various cannabis companies. As a product formulator, Awais combined his knowledge of formulation chemistry with his background in Ayurvedic Herbalism. Awais has inherited much of his knowledge around Ayurveda from his grandfather, who was a renowned herbalist in Pakistan. In his practice at Integrative Oasis, Awais combines the cutting edge science of Functional Medicine with Ayurveda to address various gut health issues. What we discuss: 00:01:01 - What brought Awais to combine Ayurveda, Functional Medicine, and peptides 00:03:44 - The definition of Ayurveda 00:05:35 - The three elements of Ayurveda 00:09:51 - Microbiome medicine 00:13:48 - The microbiome and probiotics 00:18:22 - How nutrition is part of the microbiome 00:25:56 - Tests for helping people with their microbiome medicine 00:32:16 - What would a microbiome medicine protocol look like? 00:37:02 - The different forms lymphatic drainage 00:43:52 - How peptides fit into Integrative Oasis 00:52:07 - How people could be using peptides wrong 00:57:34 - The art of microbiome medicine Key Takeaways: The word Ayurveda is a conjugation of two words: 'ayus', meaning 'life' and 'veda', meaning 'science'. Ayurveda is defined as the science of how to live your life, and your mind, body, and spirit play a role in Ayurveda. The three doshas of Ayurveda are vata, kapha, and pitta. It is possible to be a combination of two or even all three of these doshas, and there are tests to determine which one a person is. Part of optimizing your microbiome health is reconditioning the gut by strategically weeding things out, and then taking probiotics appropriately.

We've all heard mitochondria described as "the powerhouse of the cell". But what we know now is that mitochondria have a second role beyond being energy generators, and are of central importance in human physiology. Today we're discussing everything you need to know about mitochondria, specifically how the story of energy and the story of aging are very much centered around the health of our mitochondria. I'm joined by Ari Whitten, M.S., the founder of The Energy Blueprint. We take a deep dive into how mitochondria work, including the second role they play as environmental sensors. If you struggle with chronic fatigue, you'll want to tune in to learn how mitochondria is impacting your energy levels, and what you can do about it. Ari Whitten, M.S. is the best-selling author of The Ultimate Guide To Red Light Therapy, and Eat For Energy: How To Beat Fatigue, and Supercharge Your Mitochondria For All-Day Energy. He has a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist, has completed extensive graduate training in Clinical Psychology, and holds a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. What we discuss: 00:02:46 - How to start with supporting your mitochondria 00:11:28 - How mitochondria can impact your energy levels 00:18:27 - Why losing mitochondria is not a natural product of aging 00:22:22 - Ways to maintain mitochondria 00:25:20 - Melatonin production 00:30:06 - Light exposure and melatonin production 00:41:33 - Supporting your mitochondria at the foundational level 00:47:57 - EMF sensitivity 00:56:04 - The blueprint to optimizing your mitochondria 01:02:49 - The most powerful supplements for optimizing your mitochondria Key Takeaways: All the things that boost our mitochondrial capacity for energy production are also going to translate into increased longevity and resistance to disease. The loss of mitochondria is not a natural product of aging, but is the result of modern lifestyles. Challenging your mitochondria by living a more active lifestyle will help support and rebuild your mitochondrial networks as you get older. Mitochondria have a second role beyond their role as energy generators, and that is as environmental sensors. Not only are the mitochondria actually producing energy, they are making the decision on whether or not to produce that energy.

On this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I'm joined by three guests: Dr. Suzanne Turner, who is a return guest on the podcast, and the founders and formulators of Vitali Skin Care, Debbi Barber and Terry Barber. We take a deep dive into copper peptides, and cover everything from the chemical function of these peptides to how they act on DNA. We also discuss the additional key ingredients in the Vitali Skin Care products that are making drastic transformations in people's skin. Debbi served as President of Direct Marketing Agency for 37 years, focusing on nonprofit marketing. She retired in 2018, but came out of retirement to start Vitali Skin Care and make quality, high performing skincare with copper peptides more readily available and affordable to a broader market. Dr. Susanne Turner is a physician, teacher, speaker, urban farmer, salsero powerlifter, wife, bonus mom, and a "Birdie" practicing human performance and longevity medicine in Atlanta, GA. She is a recognized expert in the field of cellular medicine and the use of peptides and hormones. She has served on the faculty of Emory University, A4M, SSRP, ACAM and BioTE, and has been a featured guest on shows like Superhuman Radio Network, Health Matters, and Jay Campbell. Terry has a career as an inspirational speaker, author and entrepreneur. What we discuss: 00:02:44 How Vitali Restoracell was started 00:07:39 What is the copper peptide? 00:14:03 How copper peptides can help fade scars 00:18:42 Is there a relationship between copper peptides and our own body stem cells? 00:28:33 Other key ingredients included in Vitali Restoracell products 00:31:21 How copper peptides act on DNA 00:41:13 What's the concentration of copper peptides in Vitali Restoracell products? 00:48:43 The main benefits of copper peptides for skin Key Takeaways: According to Dr Turner, GHKCu (known as the copper peptide) could well be a Bioregulator as so they work by binding to DNA and turning on or turning off the genes that are related to youthfulness. When you are injured, your body sends out signals that there's damage to be repaired. Copper peptides help make your stem cells more likely to produce the growth factors that are needed to repair the damage of those cells. Using copper peptides consistently for long periods of time can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and repair the surface of the skin.

Can eating apple peels be transformative for your gut health? That's a fun fact you're going to find out about today! Today we are diving into the world of gut health…as this is an ever growing issue amongst the entire population due to modern day food production, practices and ingredients. If you have ever struggled with gut issues, you know how terrible and hopeless it can feel. That's why you need to stay tuned to find out an effective gut reset protocol that will ultimately heal the gut and reduce inflammatory status in both the gut and the entire body. I'm joined by Dr. Alexis Cowan, Director of Scientific Content at Layer Origin Nutrition. She dives into three specific ingredients the gut reset consists of and why they are so beneficial for healing. We also discuss the benefits of human milk oligosaccharides and why focusing on your gut health can help heal other systems in your body. Dr. Alexis Cowan is a Princeton-trained PhD specializing in the metabolic physiology of nutritional and exercise interventions. She works with clients to support them in all aspects of their journey to health, from diet and nutraceuticals to exercise and lifestyle. What we discuss: 00:03:05 The differences between keto, fasting, and high carb 00:10:35 The 3 ingredients of the gut reset protocol 00:17:48 The difference between probiotics and probiotics 00:25:45 Supplementing with Butyrate 00:32:51 SIBO and the gut reset protocol 00:37:20 How eating apple peels can be transformative for your gut health 00:44:59 The crowning glory of the gut protocol: apple peel powder 00:49:25 How inflammation affects different aspects of human health 00:59:18 Layer Origin and human milk oligosaccharides 01:01:50 Why it's important to focus on your gut health first Key Takeaways: Your gut health is connected to the health of every organ in your body, which is why it is so important to be proactive about your gut health instead of reactive. Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) were originally discovered in human breast milk, and they're known to feed specific species of bacteria in the gut, mainly within the family of bifidobacteria. The gut reset protocol can be used to optimize bifidobacteria and akkermansia, which can ultimately heal the gut and reduce inflammatory status in both the gut and the entire body.

Research, equipment, and protocols are the three things that differentiate this method of blood flow restriction training from the others… My guest this week is Steven Munatones, CEO & Co-founder of KAATSU Global, Inc. In this episode, Steven and I discuss how KAATSU differs from other blood flow restriction products, how KAATSU can be effective for pain management, and the benefits of using KAATSU to increase athletic performance. We also get a little deeper into some of the protocols, and discuss different use cases. Steven Munatones has launched new products, services and technologies in the U.S. over the last 20 years. At TOTO Frontier, he licensed TOTO's sanitary ware technologies outside of Japan. At RealLiveSports, he designed and marketed the ESPN Play by Play, a 2006 Toy of the Year. At Aruze Gaming America, he launched hybrid slot machine reel technology in the gaming industry. The Harvard graduate and certified KAATSU Master Instructor co-founded KAATSU Global with Dr. Sato, the Japanese inventor of KAATSU, to introduce next-generation KAATSU equipment. Learn more about KAATSU devices and protocols at https://kaatsu.com/ and use discount code 1NAT0 for 10% off! What we discuss: 00:01:02 The distinction between KAATSU and other blood flow restriction products 00:07:53 The origins of KAATSU 00:11:47 The body's hormonal response to blood flow restriction 00:19:21 How KAATSU is supporting brain health 00:22:22 Why amputees can benefit from using KAATSU 00:32:07 Using KAATSU to manage arthritis and joint pain 00:40:48 The benefits of using KAATSU for athletic performance 00:58:57 How KAATSU can help build muscle mass 01:03:04 The best place for people to go for different types of protocols Key Takeaways: KATSUU is a Japanese word made out of two characters: "additional" and "pressure". While we refer to these devices as "blood flow restriction" devices, the goal of KAATSU is to provide additional pressure to allow blood to flow into the small areas in your capillaries normally, and then slow it down temporarily. There are several different ways you can use KAATSU to improve performance, including using it for warm up, for peak performance, and in the constant mode. Each of those applications has a different impact on your physiology. Since most of the hormonal release of the human body happens while we're asleep, using a very light application of KAATSU can help you fall into REM sleep quicker.

My guest this week is Dr. Rand McClain of Regenerative and Sports Medicine. In this episode, Dr. Rand McClain and I discuss stem cells, epigenetics, blood sugar and regenerative medicine as a whole. Dr. Rand shares some patient stories of reversal of arthritis and even MS symptoms in people. We discuss the cutting edge modalities you may have been wondering about or even heard multiple contradictory viewpoints on and he sets the record straight. Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the youngest senior account manager in Deloitte's history, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the "status quo". Dr. Rand's patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments he specializes in. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy to cryotherapy, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health.

My guest this week is Jim Law - CEO, Co-Founder of BioCharger & Jim Girard - Inventor and Head of Research & Development of BioCharger. In this episode, Jim Law, Jim Girard and I discuss the BioCharger. BioCharger is a health optimization platform designed to transmit energy that stimulates and invigorates the body to optimize and improve potential health, wellness, and athletic performance. It does this by using light, voltage, PEMF's, frequencies and harmonics. The BioCharger truly is the only health optimization platform of its kind. I was lucky enough to experience the BioCharger at the Upgraded Labs Conference and it really is a one of a kind experience. I found not only myself, but others flocking to it like moths to a flame. Jim Law has served as a managing member of Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC since co-founding the firm in 2013. With a focus on strategy and business development, Jim's entrepreneurial track record includes founding/co-founding two prior start-ups that implemented innovative and disruptive technology based solutions that changed the way their respective industries did business. Both firms were sold to public companies (Siemens and Comfort Systems USA) and were successfully integrated into these firms' product and service offerings. Prior to starting his own businesses, Jim held executive positions in the technology world at companies such as Apple Computer and NeXT. Jim is married with 4 children and living in Orleans, MA. Jim Girad brings more than 25 years of subtle energy research and development experience to the team, which led to the introduction of the original BioCharger concept in 1993. In 1988, Jim was privileged to have studied under Dr. Orville Fitz, a protégé of Nikola Tesla which led to Jim's experimentation with Tesla coil and multiple wave oscillation (MWO) technologies. He then experimented with combining various noble and Inert gas filled tubes to incorporate the visible light spectrum, and applied the concept of pulsing frequencies from Rife and Lakhovsky to form a unique and hybrid subtle energy platform. In a few short years, his company Advanced Technology Concepts (ATC) had accomplished what no others previously had by discovering how to unlock the benefits of multiple subtle energies simultaneously and wirelessly.Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC acquired ATC in 2013 and Jim is a now a lead on the BioCharger NG product development team. What is Discussed: [09:00] The start of BioCharger… [14:00] How Jim Law got involved with Jim Girard… [19:27] What is the Biocharger and how does it work?.. [34:50] The importance of vibration… [38:45] Is the BioCharger comparable to multiple devices in one?.. [48:20] Do different tissues respond to different frequencies?.. [56:10] BioCharger and inflammation… [60:10] Collecting data on the biocharger and how it affects the body… Favorite Quotes: Six in ten adults have some form of chronic disease. The only way our body can heal, recover, repair itself is regeneration.
