| 24 Oct 2024 | Inflammaging, Environmental Toxins and Microplastics with Dr. David Furman, PhD | 00:41:49 | |
Dr. David Furman is a key researcher at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where he focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of aging and chronic diseases, particularly through the lens of the immune system. His research centers around "inflammaging," the concept that low-grade, chronic inflammation contributes to the aging process and the development of age-related diseases like cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and metabolic syndromes. At the Buck Institute, Dr. Furman leads efforts to unravel how immune dysfunction plays a pivotal role in accelerating biological aging. His work integrates systems biology approaches, including advanced computational and bioinformatic tools, to analyze large datasets related to human immunity and inflammation. By understanding how these systems change over time, Dr. Furman aims to identify biomarkers of aging and develop therapeutic strategies to target inflammaging. In addition to his role at the Buck Institute, Dr. Furman is involved in the 1000 Immunomes Project, a large-scale initiative to map the immune systems of individuals across different age groups. This project has contributed significantly to the growing understanding of how the immune system deteriorates with age and how this process may be modifiable through intervention. Dr. Furman’s work is influential in the longevity and biotech spaces, and he continues to be a thought leader in the development of anti-inflammatory therapies to extend healthspan and potentially delay the onset of age-related diseases.

Today I sit down with my good friend Dr. Casey Means. We are discussing all things metabolic health, the state of health care, and GOOD ENERGY! About Good Energy: What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause? The truth is, they do. And our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions - and feel incredible NOW - is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function: the way we make energy in our cells and bodies. The ability to make good energy in our bodies is the most important and least understood factor in our overall health, and the biggest blindspot in healthcare. About Dr. Casey: Casey Means, MD is a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world’s metabolic health crisis. Her book on metabolic health, Good Energy, comes out in May 2024 with Penguin Random House. She received her BA with honors and MD from Stanford, was President of her Stanford class, and has served on Stanford faculty. She trained in Head & Neck Surgery before leaving traditional medicine to devote her life to tackling the root cause of why Americans are sick.

James has written for Scientific American, Outside Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, Surfer’s Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, and several other publications.

He discovered that the problem lies in the fact that an estimated 25% to 50% of the population habitually breathes through their mouths. He believes that being conscious of the proper way to breathe would save us from stress and diseases and give us the deep relaxing sleep we have always wanted. From his discovery, James has spent the last several years working on a book called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. It was released on May 26, 2020, and was an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times, Sunday London Times Top 10 bestseller. James continues to educate his friends and other people on the positive impacts that changing a simple habit such as breathing can do in your life and protect you against diseases. And today, he shares his breathing expertise with you all so you can improve your health, happiness, and overall life.

The thousands of images that are scattered across the internet are a very small portion of who Roger really is. He was born in 1979 and grew up in what most would perceive as a not so fortunate circumstance. The neighbourhood was crime stricken and most who dwelled there either ended up in prison or remained on government supports schemes. At 17 years old Roger was homeless. Living with an abusive father he ran away packing few items in search for escape. His father was an alcoholic with a psychotic behaviour. This translated in Roger being abused not just physically but psychologically too. The way out was either suicide which was contemplated more than once or to flee. Rogers stepmother (who had divorced his father) gave him shelter and helped him gain some sort of structure in his life. Follow Roger on IG @RogerSnipes and visit his website here. | |||

If you are just getting started on your journey to optimal health, or you are getting refocused on your health. These are my top tips. If you are just getting started on your journey to optimal health, or you are getting refocused on your health. These are my top tips. If you're just getting started, do these things. Go to bed earlier. By getting adequate sleep, you set yourself up for success the next day. Go bed by 10 pm. Get up when your alarm goes off. You need to create new habits and develop discipline. Habits can take between eighteen and two hundred and fifty days to develop. Start now. Get sun into the eyes every morning to set your circadian rhythm. Take a cold shower every morning to boost dopamine and serotonin and increase energy. You can start with 30 seconds of cold and work up. Other options for cold are cold immersion, like a cold tub, jumping in a cold body of water, or cryotherapy. Get ten to fifteen thousand steps every day. Swap processed foods for whole foods. Exercise (I prefer strength training) three to five times per week. | |||
