Yes, walking the dog counts. So does yard work, grocery shopping, and cleaning the floors. But it's not enough. Dr. Mike is back. He and John Asher are talking about your simple exercise plan and why it's important. We know this, but they get into the details of how different activities affect our bodies. From couch potatoes to bags of bones - find out in this episode how to easily convert to a stronger, healthier person who can fight off diseases.  The second activity in addition to movement is strength training. This is how our body protects us. John tells us about research that shows after age 40, we lose 1% of muscle mass per year after age 70, one and a half. So if you don't do regular strength training after age 40, by the time you're 80, you've essentially lost 50% of your muscle mass. They also discuss the benefits of something as simple as Vitamin D and its effects on our ability to fight off and recover from illnesses, diseases, and injuries.

Listen to his previous episode with Susan Finch here.

Their next session together will be about the benefits of calorie restriction.

In this episode of ALIve, Dr. Husain continues the discussion of peptides that he started in an earlier episode titled “Best Non-Prescription Ways to Improve Longevity.” Peptides, a generalized term for cell-signaling molecules, have been around for over 100 years. They are isolated from plant and animal sources and have been produced in pharmaceutical labs since the 1960s. Peptides are often talked about in skincare, but they also can help build muscle, promote fat loss, reduce inflammation, and improve immune function. CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Dr. Abid Husain, a Fellow of the American College of Cardiologists and Certified by the American Board of Anti-Aging/Regenerative Medicine. Doctor Husain is a physician at the Boone Heart Institute in Greenwood Village, Colorado, working closely with Dr. Jeffrey Boone on state-of-the-art cardiovascular and stroke prevention programs, combined with a functional medicine outlook.

Do you know what your toxic body burden is? That’s the amount of toxins within your body made up of chemicals absorbed from food, water, air, and even personal care products. While the individual impact of any of the toxins may be minimal, the combination of all of them could be detrimental to your health. Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer chemicals are commonly thought of, as are industrial exposures, smoke, and vehicle exhaust; but there also are toxins in construction materials, household cleaners, and even the toothpaste and shampoo you use.

Traumatic Brain Injury can come from a violent blow or jolt to the head or body. We tend to think of bomb blasts, athletic impacts, and car crashes with TBI, but its symptoms can arise from non-violent means as well. We also associate medications, surgery, and rehabilitation as treatments, but there can be other treatments as well. In this episode of ALIve, CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Dr. Valerie Donaldson, Founder and Medical Director of the Regenerative Medicine Center (RMC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and certified in Anti-Aging Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Stem Cell Therapy.

• What are the causes of Traumatic Brain Injury?
• How is Traumatic Brain Injury alike or different from other brain illnesses such as Alzheimer’s or MS or Parkinson’s?
• How did Dr. Donaldson get interested in treating Traumatic Brain injury?
• How is her method of treatment different than others and what is her success rate?
• What types of people does she see for Traumatic Brain Injury and what’s the most common age group?

Dr. Valerie Donaldson

Nutritional repletion, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes are the cornerstone of any holistic medical practice and are part of Dr. Donaldson’s RMC, a personalized concierge service designed to offer patients exclusive contact with her and her team. Her approach considers research from a whole-body perspective and spending a considerable amount of time with every patient to attempt to get to the root of their health concerns by connecting the dots of their health and history to shape a unique treatment plan because no two people are the same. In Dr. Donaldson’s words, “I offer hope to people who have no hope. I do this by passionately searching for the cause in order to appropriately treat the underlying dysfunction. I don't believe patients are drug deficient but are out of balance in their biochemical, nutritional, hormonal, emotional, and/or spiritual makeup. One must find where the individual is out of balance and correct it in order to sustain wellness.”

Have you ever wondered what physically healthy people have in common? And why some seem to thrive in the face of challenges? Are they exceptions or can others of us also develop the same kinds of habits to succeed in any endeavor? In this episode of ALIve, CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Nick Shaw, co-founder of Renaissance Periodization (RP), a multi-million-dollar health and fitness company that has improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of clients around the world. Nick has coached world-class athletes including CrossFit Games champions, international medalists in weightlifting, UFC fighters, Navy SEALs, and Olympians. But it wasn’t until 2020 when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and facing the fallout of treatment for months through COVID-19, that he had to really lean into the habits he was teaching and put them to the ultimate test. His new book, with the same title as this podcast, details what he learned.

• What are the seven principle habits for success that both athletes and business professionals should master?
• Which are the most important?
• How vital is the concept of internal locus of control?
• What is the biggest takeaway Nick Shaw realized from all this?

Cardiovascular health is important for heart function in the aging process, but it’s also vitally important in brain function. The best way to protect the aging brain is to identify and aggressively treat vascular problems as soon as possible. In this episode of ALIve, CEO and Co-Founder of the Asher Longevity Institute John Asher interviews Dr. Jeffrey Boone, named one of the top cardiovascular doctors in America. Dr. Boone is the Founder and Director of the Boone Heart Institute in Denver and also is the Chief Medical Officer of the Asher Longevity Institute. John describes his own experience of increasing brain function under Dr. Boone’s care and Dr. Boone explains how scans can now measure brain function and how new therapies and drugs can help prevent strokes (the third leading cause of death) and early onset of dementia. While the brain is only 2% of the average human body weight, it receives up to 20% of the body’s blood supply. Protecting the aging brain by paying early attention to cardiovascular issues gives you a longer life span and also a longer healthspan.

In this episode of ALIve from the Asher Longevity Institute, we continue with Dr. Jeffrey Boone of the Boone Heart Institute. This was taken from a presentation he made sharing case studies of the leaps in improved heart, circulatory, and brain health achieved through the use of PCSK9 and not accepting that some plaque is normal in your aorta. Although he refers to slides, the word pictures he gives us about the effect of cholesterol on our circulatory system and brains is invaluable in arming us to take control of our aging body, and especially brains. Listen through the case studies to determine what age you'd like your brain to achieve.

Here is the PDF covering this episode. It's from a 2020 Symposium presentation given by Dr. Boone.

When we think about balanced nutrition, we usually stop at drink 8 glasses of water, and eat 4, 4, 3, and 2 of the four food groups.

Eating a diet tuned for a healthy gut microbiome is needed in order to preclude 11 diseases and three conditions. Let's talk about what we eat. John gives us two sample daily menus and 12 steps that won't overwhelm you as you create a healthy gut microbiome. John gives us two examples of his own menus.

----more----

"This is actually a typical day for me. Breakfast, I'm going to eat a closed fistful each of walnuts, pistachios and macadamia nuts and a cup of mixed berries, including about half of them will be raspberries because of their prebiotic nature and high fiber content. For lunch, I almost always have a smoothie and the reason is if you try to eat a great big salad, it could take 15-20 minutes, you can drink a smoothie in about three minutes. So I'll make 6 smoothies at once in a big blender, I'll put in eight leafy green vegetables, half of an avocado, a green banana, low sugar content, 6 ounces of goat yogurt, a teaspoon each of hemp hearts and flax seed, sauerkraut, olive oil and coconut milk unsweetened as a liquid, and then seven different hermetic spices that we'll talk about in step 6.

And then for dinner, I'll add 4 ounces of fish, poultry or red meat once a week, cook with low heat, steamed or roasted vegetables and mushrooms with olive oil. And then for dessert, say two figs, either fresh or dried. And now when you buy dried fruit, you have one or two choices, it'll have sugar and oil added, or it'll be just the fruit. So if you're going to eat dried fruit, which I like, then make sure it's just the fruit and organic. Here's another typical day when you're following this routine, breakfast might be two eggs cooked in olive oil with low heat and a cup of fruit and a cup of fruit with those great vegetables with all that fiber in them, orange, apple, tart cherries. Lunch might be a large salad with mushrooms, mobile leafy greens and other low-glycemic vegetables with olive oil and vinegar dressing, and then dinner again for us is a fish, poultry or red meat cooked with low heat, steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and fennel, and then a coconut milk ice cream bar.

There's just a ton of opportunity to buy, other than ice cream, which is a highly processed food, there's lots of non-dairy ice cream. The one John likes is the So Delicious brand and it's got about 150 calories per ice cream bar with all the good ingredients."

This sounds like an awful lot and so, what we've come up with that's on our website, you can take a look at is if you are going to transfer from eating a Western diet and having a bad microbiome full of bad bacteria and you wanted to shift, doing everything John suggested in this podcast is a lot of stuff to do. We've cut it to 12 steps. So if you and your partner said, "Okay, we want to shift, but we can't be crazy about this and we just took one step a month, what would that look like?"

• Month One, just start eating much less processed foods.
• Month Two, start consuming much less sugar and artificial sugar substitutes. Shift to those natural sugars.
• Month Three, eat red meat only once a week and only grass-fed with no antibiotics or hormones.
• Month Four shift how you buy fish and shellfish shift to only wild-caught, again with no antibiotics or hormones.
• Month Five, eat poultry infrequently and again, only pasture-raised with no antibiotics or hormones.
• Month Six, increase consumption of protein from nuts, mushrooms, and leafy green vegetables.
• Month seven, start buying mainly organic food. That's why I always shop at Whole Foods. It's mainly organic foods, meaning no pesticides.
• Month Eight just cut out all grains, legumes unless they're pressure cooked.
• Month Nine, start eating a low glycemic, low sugar content fruits and vegetables frequently.
• Month 10 substitute goat and sheep products for cattle and dairy products, meaning milk, cheese, and yogurt.
• Month 11 cut out all manufactured oils and start using natural oils, coconut, and avocado for high heat and olive oil for low heat.
• Month 12 shift drinking habits to maybe one or two glasses depending on whether you're male or female of red wine per day. And the reason for red wine is white wine has a lot of sugar.

That is a way to organize yourself to go from a bad microbiome to a good microbiome by just taking one step a month.

There are dangers of eating meat. Based on a study of 6,000 people over 18 years who ate a lot of animal protein, four times higher risk of cancer, five times higher risk of diabetes, twice the risk of dying and the study of people who are vegetarians, vegetable protein does not increase the risk of any age relating diseases. Meat, in general, is going to shorten our life if you eat too much. How about the meat substitutes like the Beyond Burger or the Impossible Burger?  John tells this story. "My wife and I, about a year ago when it first came out, we said "Hey, yay, let's try this". So we bought a package of burger meat and a package of sausage. We took them home, cooked them up, actually tasted, frankly, it tasted great! However, my wife took a look at the ingredients on the package after we'd eaten them. I don't know why I didn't look?"

They're an ultra-processed food, meaning in the NOVA Food Classification system, it is the highest, worst processed food you can eat. It has 40 ingredients, including titanium dioxide, which is a whitening agent using paint potato starch, which is essentially candy, methylcellulose, a bulking agent used in laxatives, and 400% more sodium than lean burger meat. And the protein is provided by lagoons, peas, and beans. So it's full of lectin and it contains a ton of manufactured oils, canola, and sunflower, which means it's full of the omega-6 fatty acids.

It could not be worse. It's too bad, but it couldn't be worse for us. Now let's look at the danger of pesticides since we're going to eat a lot of this meat perhaps. So the pesticide Roundup, we've all heard of it, contains an antibiotic. The main ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate, and it's an antibiotic. And 93% of us humans test positive for it because we've been eating the grains that have been sprayed with this pesticide, or eating the animals who have eaten the same grain. And unfortunately, since microbiome biotics, good and bad, antibiotics kill our gut bacteria, both good and bad. So imagine, we're eating animal meat and we're eating the grains that they eat, then essentially we're eating all these antibiotics, which are disrupting our gut bacteria. The bottom line is to stick to organic food.

Don't eat any food that's that is essentially not organic. And essentially organic means no harmful, artificial pesticides. It can mean a whole bunch of different things for different foods, pre-packaged salads, eggs, cow's milk, but basically no artificial pesticides in organic food. Part of the Department of Agriculture called the USDA Environmental Working Group that is has been out for quite some time. Every year it analyzes which foods, typically fruits and vegetables, is it easy to wash off the pesticides and which ones it's essentially impossible. In 2019, they came up with what they refer to as the Dirty Dozen. That is the fruits and vegetables that have so many pesticides on them and the pesticides get into the actual vegetable or fruit. So you can't wash them off. The list is celery, spinach, kale, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, peaches, strawberries, nectarines, grapes, cherries, and pears.

Many of us have heard an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, how about a non-organic apple a day, would that keep the doctor away? No, non-organic apples have 16 chemicals that are hormone disruptors, six chemicals that are known suspected carcinogens, and five neurotoxins. So eat organic. Next, let's look at the dangers of antibiotics that are fed to farm animals. We all kind of know if one of our kids has an ear infection. You go to the doctor, the doctor will prescribe a very specific antibiotic that is tuned to kill the bacteria that caused that infection. If you had another child who got a strep throat, and he went to the doctor, you would get a prescription for a different narrowly focused antibiotic to kill that particular bacteria. So imagine all farm animals, commercial farm animals are administered broad-spectrum antibiotics, meaning kills everything, all biotics.

About 2000 years ago in Northern Europe, there was a genetic mutation that changed the basic protein in cow milk from a casein a2 to casein a1. And the trouble with casein a1 is, it causes an attack on our immune system. And it explains why 65% of Americans are what is called lactose, the sugar in milk, intolerant. Actually, what we really are is intolerant of that protein casein a1. Most breeds of cows in the US are this type. So you can get great cheeses from Switzerland, France, and Italy, and it's fine to eat them, but not the cheeses that are manufactured in the US. You can also get goat milk butter, and clarified butter, ghee, with no dairy. Easy now to get goat milk and goat yogurt.

----more----

There's also a brand of milk now called a2. In other words, casein a2. Not the casein a1, or the bad milk. Some of you may have been reading that it was a 60 Minutes special, that over a million small dairy farmers have gone out of business in the last 10 years. And actually, the two largest dairy farmers in the US recently filed for Chapter 11. Most of the public is starting to get onto this now. Cow milk just isn't that great for us, especially the cow milk in the US.

Most of you, I'm sure, know sugar is not a food, and it's just a food additive. there is no biochemical reaction in any animal cell that requires sugar. It is addictive through the same brain pathways that alcohol is addictive. And the trouble with sugar is this, remember the low-fat fad from many years ago, Dr. Alan Keyes, all turned out to be BS, and so the manufacturers started making food that was low fat. Well, the trouble was, when you got rid of fat, the food tasted horrible. So, they added sugar, and typically, salt. Any of these great-sounding foods, low-fat salad dressing, barbecue, pasta sauce, breakfast cereals, fruit juices, soft drinks, baked goods, candy, and cakes, molasses, honey, keep going on down the list, are full of sugar.

John Asher used to love ketchup. Ketchup is actually 25% sugar, which is unbelievable. So I'm not eating too much ketchup anymore. Here's the problem with sugar. The bad bacteria in our microbiome love simple sugar. And in addition to that, sugar and artificial sweeteners kill the good gut bacteria. So sugar is addictive, and so are all these artificial sweeteners. Now the good news is, there are natural sweeteners, monk fruit and Stevia, both approved by the FDA as sugar substitutes, and both are great. Both have zero calories, and they're both much sweeter than sugar, so you only need a little bit.

Listen to this full episode here:

Our microbiome is so important. And the reason is, if we don't watch what we're eating and eat the wrong things and have a lot of bad bacteria in our gut, we can cause up to 11 diseases. I'm just going to name them off quickly. Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, that a third of the people in the country have got, hepatitis, colitis, multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes, 30% of the people in the US are prediabetic and 10% actually have it, lupus, irritable bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. And many of them have three other conditions: small intestine bowel overgrowth, small intestine fungi overgrowth, and irritable bowel syndrome. So imagine if we don't have the right healthy gut microbiome, any of these can happen. When you look at the percentages of people who have them, almost everybody has one of them.

----more----

Let's start with a couple of definitions. Many people think that the gut is just the stomach. Well, actually our gut is our whole digestive system that goes all the way from when we take food in till all the rest comes out. All of that's called our gut, our entire digestive system. Our microbiome is what's in our entire digestive system or what's in our gut. And our gut is full of trillions of bacteria, viruses, fungi, worms. It's mainly bacteria, and there are five pounds of bacteria in our microbiome. And of course, there are good and bad bacteria. Probiotics is the name of the good bacteria in our gut. Prebiotics is the food our good bacteria like to eat.

Many of you have heard of probiotic supplements. Their job is to add good, live bacteria to our microbiome. Having a majority of good bacteria in our microbiome will greatly increase lifespan, and having the majority of bad bacteria will lead to all those diseases I mentioned. So there's a lot at stake here with our microbiome. Just to give you some ideas about prebiotics, that is the food, mostly high-fiber food, that our probiotics, the good bacteria, like to eat in certain fruit: raspberries, apples, papaya, avocado, chicory root, which is essentially 68% insoluble fiber. So great, great. The microbiome loves, the prebiotics, love them. And certain vegetables: asparagus, okra, mushrooms, flaxseed, shallots and leeks, seaweed, all leafy green vegetables, yams, parsnips, sweet potatoes. So all those foods are great to eat. They're called prebiotic food because our probiotics, the good bacteria in our gut, love to eat them.

Now our gut, the microbiome in our gut, is connected by the vagus nerve, the biggest nerve in our body, that goes from our stem cell in our brain to the heart, the lungs, and to our gut. And there are eight times as many messages that flow from our gut to the brain as there are from the brain to the gut. So our gut microbiome then influences our thoughts, our actions, our sense of smell, and our cravings. They don't actually come from the brain. They come from the gut going to the brain, so the brain will let us know. So many of the researchers now call our gut the second brain. And it kind of leads to, we were chatting earlier, about the term the gut instinct.

Another great part of the gut is it has a lining. It's a strong lining, but it's very thin. It protects our gut from anything bad coming into the gut. It prevents the bacteria in our gut from getting out to our blood, bloodstream, lymph system, and organs. So once the bacteria will pass through the gut lining, they ignite the immune system causing this widespread chronic inflammation. So a term we've all heard. If you've been listening to the other podcasts, we're talking about chronic inflammation in every single podcast, and that can result in what many of the listeners have heard as a leaky gut syndrome. That's what leads to those 10 diseases and 11 conditions.

John Asher takes this episode to update the nine steps the Asher Longevity Institute recommends for an unlimited lifespan and healthspan. Right now, women sit at about 82 years and men at 72. But, only a health span of around 70 years for women and 65 for men. That means the rest of the years are spent battling health issues that could have been prevented. In this episode John lets us know that today is the perfect day to start, no matter your age. He's a perfect example of practicing what the Asher Longevity Institute teaches. Join us, and start leading a healthier, longer life to enjoy into triple digits.

Testosterone for men is an essential and beneficial hormone for energy, libido, functionality, and metabolism and it relieves depression, controls inflammation, and helps arteries. It's also important for women. Testosterone levels fall with age and can be replaced by topical creams, patches, injections, and pellets. Testosterone misuse - for bodybuilding and performance enhancement - can be dangerous to your health, but so can low levels of this vital hormone.
