Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Amana Phillips, Welcome to the podcast and thank you for
- 0:11Speaker 1: returning The Fever.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Oh I love a good pod swap, I really really do.
- 0:16Speaker 2: I absolutely loved having you on my podcast recently. So yeah,
- 0:20Speaker 2: if you guys enjoy our chat today, head over to
- 0:24Speaker 2: my podcast as well, and we talk about all sorts
- 0:26Speaker 2: of different stuff. But you and I could talk all
- 0:29Speaker 2: day underwater, shared interests, shared values.
- 0:32Speaker 1: I love it exactly. And your podcast just for those
- 0:36Speaker 1: is called The Healthy Her. Now, like me, you're an
- 0:39Speaker 1: exercise scientist. You're also a nutritionist. You're also a researcher,
- 0:44Speaker 1: but you also specialize in online programs and biotech, which
- 0:49Speaker 1: I've dabbled in, but I think you're a lot more successful.
- 0:54Speaker 1: And you are the coach and the TV show, the
- 0:57Speaker 1: Australian TV show Do you Want to Live Forever? You're
- 1:00Speaker 1: also the founder of Vitality three sixty and a podcaster.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Clearly you're a bit like me with the devil mix
- 1:10Speaker 1: work for your idle hands. So you've got to keep yourself.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Busy one hundred percent. And also how lucky do you
- 1:17Speaker 2: feel to be in an industry where you never stop
- 1:20Speaker 2: learning and where you wake up in the morning and
- 1:24Speaker 2: your mind gets blown again and again. Like twenty six
- 1:27Speaker 2: years in this industry, you'd think i'd be a bit
- 1:29Speaker 2: jaded or sick of it by now, But even in
- 1:33Speaker 2: the last five years, I have got more fire in
- 1:36Speaker 2: my belly and more motivation than I had ten years ago.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Because technology evolves, the research evolves, and we are literally
- 1:48Speaker 2: saving lives and extending health span and it's happening every day,
- 1:52Speaker 2: And like I just wake up, go I'm like a
- 1:55Speaker 2: kid in a candy store. I'm like, Okay, well, what else?
- 1:57Speaker 2: What else is gonna What amazing new trial is going
- 2:00Speaker 2: to be released that shows us how we can extend
- 2:04Speaker 2: our healthpan? So yeah, I feel pretty lucky to love
- 2:06Speaker 2: what I do as well.
- 2:08Speaker 1: I totally agree it's a lot better than being a banker.
- 2:12Speaker 1: No offense to all of the bankers that I know,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and I know a lot, but it is nice to
- 2:19Speaker 1: do something for a living that you would do in
- 2:23Speaker 1: your spur time. Anyway, and we met fifteen years ago.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I reckon about fifteen years ago at an after party
- 2:31Speaker 1: for a rather large event.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Yes, and you were dressed as a smurf?
- 2:40Speaker 1: Was I y?
- 2:43Speaker 2: And you were so drunk. If you could imagine a
- 2:46Speaker 2: six foot something drunk smurf. That's that's you were introduced.
- 2:53Speaker 2: I don't know how I was still talking today.
- 2:57Speaker 1: God, that's funny. I'll tell you what it's from the UK.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Will not be surprised to know that I was dressed
- 3:02Speaker 1: as a smurf. It's been I was about to say
- 3:05Speaker 1: it's been quite a while since I was dressed as
- 3:07Speaker 1: a spurf, but actually it's been about six months since
- 3:10Speaker 1: I was dressed as a spurf.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Is this your thing? One of your like cheeky you know,
- 3:16Speaker 2: behind closed doors or fetish, Well.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Not so much behind closed I have a first. I
- 3:24Speaker 1: first smurfed Jesus twenty five maybe years ago. I was
- 3:32Speaker 1: introduced by me and mine Jason, and and we went
- 3:35Speaker 1: on smurfing. I think it was might have been my
- 3:37Speaker 1: stag Do or his stag Do, I can't remember who's
- 3:40Speaker 1: but I just loved it.
- 3:42Speaker 3: And we had a garga male like this is about fifteen.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Smurfs and a gargamele, and my my wife was dressed
- 3:49Speaker 1: up as the cat as well.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Ah, I like it.
- 3:54Speaker 1: And I loved it so much that I now have
- 3:57Speaker 1: a rule that if anybody visits me from the U
- 4:00Speaker 1: UK and we go out dressed up as smurfs and
- 4:03Speaker 1: go on.
- 4:04Speaker 2: The piss God.
- 4:06Speaker 3: And I'm very serious about it.
- 4:08Speaker 1: I only ordered the best blue theater piant and and
- 4:16Speaker 1: so I'll tell you a little. This is an unexpected
- 4:18Speaker 1: little rabbit told that we're going down. But me and
- 4:22Speaker 1: of mine at Tyrone, who may or may not be listening,
- 4:26Speaker 1: has been pestering me for years to go to a
- 4:30Speaker 1: music festival. And then I eventually agreed last year and
- 4:33Speaker 1: I said, right, I will go to a music festival
- 4:35Speaker 1: if you allow me to choose the color. And he
- 4:38Speaker 1: was like, yeah, sure, whatever, And so I think it
- 4:41Speaker 1: was five of us went and I brought five smurf
- 4:43Speaker 1: outfits and we all got dressed up as smurfs and
- 4:46Speaker 1: it was brilliant.
- 4:47Speaker 2: See, look, health experts don't have to be boring and
- 4:52Speaker 2: don't have to you know, color in the lines. You
- 4:56Speaker 2: can have a lot of fun. And you, my friend,
- 4:59Speaker 2: know how to have a good time. And I love
- 5:01Speaker 2: that about you. But yes, I clearly didn't hold it
- 5:04Speaker 2: against you. Could hear We are fifteen years later, indeed, and.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Then let's not make this about smurfing. Let's get back
- 5:11Speaker 1: on track. And however you would make a good smurfet
- 5:16Speaker 1: with your long long.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Term I just pray, all right, well, I'm I'm open
- 5:21Speaker 2: to having my arm twisted for the right event.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Be careful what you say. So let's talk about longevity.
- 5:30Speaker 1: We're both geeks in this longevity space and the health
- 5:34Speaker 1: span space, and there is so much stuff out there,
- 5:40Speaker 1: a lot of it good and a lot of it horseshit.
- 5:43Speaker 1: So let's just kind of go through. I'll just throw
- 5:46Speaker 1: it over to you.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Separate the week from the chaff.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Right, So, what is this stuff that you think is
- 5:54Speaker 1: good that's out there that people should be listening to,
- 5:57Speaker 1: And what's the crappy stuff or the yet to be
- 6:02Speaker 1: demonstrated yet to have the science demonstrated to the level
- 6:05Speaker 1: that the influencers talk about.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Shall we say, yeah, I love all the TikTok trends
- 6:11Speaker 2: you see doing the rounds, and look, a lot of
- 6:15Speaker 2: them are horseshit, as you say, But then every now
- 6:18Speaker 2: and again, some of them actually do have some evidence
- 6:22Speaker 2: behind them, or they've got just an adherence the way
- 6:28Speaker 2: that they're designed. Some of those TikTok trends actually are
- 6:31Speaker 2: really easy to adhere to, or they're motivating. But before
- 6:34Speaker 2: I kind of go into the specifics I will often
- 6:38Speaker 2: talk to people about. I call it the ladder approach
- 6:42Speaker 2: when you think about your health, and we do this
- 6:44Speaker 2: in nutrition but also overarching when you think about your health,
- 6:49Speaker 2: imagine this ladder analogy where the very bottom rung of
- 6:55Speaker 2: the ladder is, you know, don't do stupid shit, don't
- 7:00Speaker 2: poison yourself, so get off the drugs, get off the alcohol.
- 7:03Speaker 2: And you think of this ladder approach almost like a
- 7:07Speaker 2: health ladder. So what you've got the bottom of the
- 7:10Speaker 2: rung is that you know, don't step in front of
- 7:12Speaker 2: a bus and get hit by a bus, don't take
- 7:14Speaker 2: illicit drugs unless you're smurfhing, and and then you go up,
- 7:20Speaker 2: you know, and then it's like cut the crap food,
- 7:22Speaker 2: you know, if you're eating your takeout and your KFC
- 7:25Speaker 2: all the time. So what I see happening as we
- 7:28Speaker 2: climb up the ladder, you then you know, you get
- 7:30Speaker 2: to all right, should I be going for I'm having
- 7:33Speaker 2: a really healthy whole foods diet, So should I now
- 7:35Speaker 2: be going towards more organic foods? What I see is
- 7:38Speaker 2: people on the bottom rungs of those ladders who might
- 7:42Speaker 2: be carrying excess body fat. They might have some really
- 7:45Speaker 2: poor lifestyle choices. You know, they might not be exercising,
- 7:49Speaker 2: and they're the ones coming to me saying things like,
- 7:51Speaker 2: should I be taping my mouth shut? Should I be
- 7:53Speaker 2: doing hot cold therapy?
- 7:57Speaker 1: Kicking?
- 7:59Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, should I be taking these supplements? And you
- 8:03Speaker 2: know they're geeking out over supplements, but they're overeating and
- 8:07Speaker 2: under exercising. So I think when you look at the
- 8:11Speaker 2: whole landscape of all the health you know, habits and behaviors,
- 8:15Speaker 2: we can make see where you are on the ladder.
- 8:19Speaker 2: And if you're I mean a lot of your listeners
- 8:22Speaker 2: are going to be very, very health literate and probably
- 8:24Speaker 2: well and truly up the ladder. So if you're into
- 8:27Speaker 2: the one or the two percenters, then yes, some of
- 8:29Speaker 2: these trends and some of these more innovative you know
- 8:35Speaker 2: techniques or for example, hydrogen water, for example, mouth taping,
- 8:41Speaker 2: cold plunges, you know, really specific supplements like creatine and
- 8:46Speaker 2: things like that. That's when you're up there, then yes,
- 8:49Speaker 2: let's have a conversation about that. But if you're not
- 8:51Speaker 2: sleeping well, if you're not getting regular exercise, if you're
- 8:54Speaker 2: not managing your body composition, then you've got to focus
- 8:58Speaker 2: on those things first. So I just want to caveat
- 9:01Speaker 2: all of this by.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Saying that, yeah, look, very very good point. And I
- 9:06Speaker 1: often talk about you don't build a five million dollar
- 9:09Speaker 1: house on shiit house foundations, right, You wouldn't build it
- 9:13Speaker 1: on sand. So getting the foundations right, and I talk
- 9:16Speaker 1: about four pillars, four foundational pillars, which pretty much what
- 9:21Speaker 1: you said exercise, good nutrition, and sleep and recovery and
- 9:27Speaker 1: mindset right. And if you have those four then you
- 9:30Speaker 1: can build all the fancy shit on top of it.
- 9:32Speaker 1: But if you don't have those, for all that fancy
- 9:35Speaker 1: stuff is going to be not all wasted, but certainly
- 9:40Speaker 1: suboptimal and not the best use of your time.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Absolutely. And look, I always feel like this saying energy
- 9:49Speaker 2: goes where focus flows. Oh sorry, I've got that wrong.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Energy flows where focus goes. So I deal with everyday
- 9:57Speaker 2: people all the time. So my programs, I've got over
- 10:00Speaker 2: a thousand members on our Vitality three sixty platform and
- 10:03Speaker 2: we've got everything from the complete biohackers to you know,
- 10:06Speaker 2: people that have struggled their whole life with their weight.
- 10:09Speaker 2: And what I do see is quite commonly people focusing
- 10:15Speaker 2: on one small element like supplements, for example, when they
- 10:18Speaker 2: haven't got those other pieces in place, and they think that, oh,
- 10:21Speaker 2: if I take my oinosatole for my insulin resistance, that's
- 10:24Speaker 2: going to solve everything. But actually no, it's the harder
- 10:28Speaker 2: stuff unfortunately, and the stuff that you know, like exercising
- 10:32Speaker 2: more and managing your sleep, that is really going to
- 10:34Speaker 2: move the need. Also, I try to work really hard
- 10:37Speaker 2: to create simple strategies that make those much bigger levers
- 10:42Speaker 2: like the four foundational pillars you just mentioned, easier to
- 10:46Speaker 2: manage and not get distracted by those those little two percenters,
- 10:51Speaker 2: because they really do you know, they really can be distracting.
- 10:57Speaker 2: And so the same thing with health. You see a
- 10:59Speaker 2: lot of people talking about all these fancy and advanced tests,
- 11:02Speaker 2: but are you getting your annual breast cancer screening? Are you?
- 11:07Speaker 2: Are you doing it PREDENTI yeah, screens as well. So
- 11:12Speaker 2: that would just be my other little warning bell you get.
- 11:14Speaker 2: We get all excited about these new and innovative tests,
- 11:16Speaker 2: but there's a lot of really important tests out there
- 11:21Speaker 2: that we should be getting, you know, cervical screens for women,
- 11:25Speaker 2: annual skin checks. Just make sure you're doing all that
- 11:28Speaker 2: foundational stuff before we get to fancy.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, we will come into tests and biomarkers
- 11:35Speaker 1: a little bit later on. But if we come back
- 11:38Speaker 1: to and the topic of longevity and health span, and
- 11:44Speaker 1: let's take that probably the most controversial pillar, which is
- 11:49Speaker 1: the one of nutrition.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Right.
- 11:51Speaker 1: There are so many opinions out there around nutrition. And
- 11:55Speaker 1: I always say that anybody who tells you there's one
- 11:58Speaker 1: diet that everybody should be eating is either demented, or
- 12:01Speaker 1: they're trying to sell you something, or they're a member
- 12:03Speaker 1: of a cult.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Three I agree with you one.
- 12:10Speaker 1: So what what advice do you give to the people
- 12:14Speaker 1: that you work with around nutrition?
- 12:18Speaker 2: So one hundred percent agree. I don't. I don't attest
- 12:25Speaker 2: to having one particular dietary pattern that you know that
- 12:30Speaker 2: I focus on. If that had to pick one, and
- 12:33Speaker 2: one only the Mediterranean diet. And that's where I hear
- 12:36Speaker 2: everyone roll their eyes and go oh, but it's just
- 12:40Speaker 2: nowhere near as click baity as carnival diet.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Or it's boring.
- 12:45Speaker 3: But there's so much research behind you.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think when it comes to diet, it's
- 12:53Speaker 2: more important about the pattern. And you'll hear a lot
- 12:56Speaker 2: of researches talking about someone's dietary pattern, which means that
- 13:01Speaker 2: you know, the pattern overall might be a lower carbohydrate pattern,
- 13:05Speaker 2: but it doesn't mean there's no carbohydrates in it. For example.
- 13:08Speaker 2: But in a nutshell, we are talking about, you know,
- 13:12Speaker 2: the Mediterranean style, where we're dialing up all those nutrient
- 13:17Speaker 2: dense foods, the fibrous foods, we are dialing down the
- 13:20Speaker 2: ultra processed foods. We're dialing up a lot of those
- 13:23Speaker 2: anti inflammatory foods that contain a lot of polyphenols. So
- 13:27Speaker 2: we're talking about extra you know, cold press extra virgin
- 13:30Speaker 2: olive oil. The challenge with this is for people listening,
- 13:35Speaker 2: they go, oh, well, that's a bit confusing because it
- 13:37Speaker 2: doesn't have those binary I can't eat this and I
- 13:40Speaker 2: have to eat that. And I think that's where a
- 13:43Speaker 2: lot of these diets get traction, because if you're just like, hey,
- 13:46Speaker 2: you just have to cut all carbs and only eat meat,
- 13:49Speaker 2: will people kind of go, oh, well, I can handle that,
- 13:52Speaker 2: but I will say a few things. So with that said,
- 13:54Speaker 2: just a general healthy diet overall, I do find my
- 13:59Speaker 2: ladies do respond very well to a lower carbohydrate diet,
- 14:02Speaker 2: particularly less carbohydrates in the second half of the days,
- 14:07Speaker 2: as in high GI foods because once we're hitting that perimenopause,
- 14:11Speaker 2: and even for men as well, once they're getting into
- 14:16Speaker 2: that older over fifties bracket, our blood sugar regulation does
- 14:21Speaker 2: get impacted. And I just find that people do respond
- 14:25Speaker 2: better and generally when you take out the high GI foods,
- 14:28Speaker 2: it means that you're creating more space for more protein.
- 14:32Speaker 2: You're creating more space for nutrient dense foods as well,
- 14:35Speaker 2: because if your plate's not full of mash or pasta,
- 14:37Speaker 2: then it's probably going to be full of some healthy,
- 14:40Speaker 2: lean proteins, so that would be cutting the cubs down
- 14:44Speaker 2: definitely at night. I find works really well. Increasing protein intake.
- 14:49Speaker 2: I mean protein and fiber combined is Nature's a zenpic
- 14:53Speaker 2: You if you love that.
- 14:55Speaker 1: I really like protein and fiber are natures and I
- 14:59Speaker 1: couldn't agree more.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Because it's all about slowing that gastric emptying. Zempic works
- 15:05Speaker 2: because people feel full of for longer. There's lots of obviously,
- 15:09Speaker 2: lots of other factors at play, but if you can
- 15:12Speaker 2: feel full of for longer, you're obviously going to be
- 15:14Speaker 2: less inclined to reach for the unhealthy, high sugar, high fat,
- 15:19Speaker 2: high salt foods so yeah, fiber protein combined is a
- 15:23Speaker 2: real winner.
- 15:24Speaker 4: So I'm sorry, no, can I just jump in there
- 15:28Speaker 4: just with so there is there's a sub section of
- 15:32Speaker 4: the longevity crowd who are very.
- 15:37Speaker 1: Pro low protein. So they would say that protein active
- 15:44Speaker 1: as M tour. An M tour is basically an eedging
- 15:49Speaker 1: switch because it's a growth pattern and it encourages cancer
- 15:53Speaker 1: growth and all sorts of other stuff. But I think
- 15:57Speaker 1: that the research around this is really not clear on humans.
- 16:05Speaker 1: You know, they often talk about animal studies. The one
- 16:09Speaker 1: human study I think on that was the biosphere which
- 16:12Speaker 1: went horribly wrong, and they had calorie restriction and low protein,
- 16:16Speaker 1: and yes they had some biomarkers that would suggest that
- 16:21Speaker 1: they may live longer, but they were friggin miserable, they
- 16:24Speaker 1: were depressed, they had no libido, all of that stuff.
- 16:27Speaker 1: And I think the thing for people to understand is
- 16:31Speaker 1: that as you get older, your ability for muscle protein
- 16:35Speaker 1: synthesis degree. Its just like your ability to process glucose degreds.
- 16:41Speaker 1: And so for me, if you want to strike the balance,
- 16:47Speaker 1: it's eight three meters a day.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Throw the snacks.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Away, right, Yeah, we don't, we do. We don't need
- 16:53Speaker 2: to snack over the age of fifty forty.
- 16:56Speaker 1: I mean, we really do not need to snack, and
- 16:58Speaker 1: you need to snack if your blood sugar's going crazy
- 17:01Speaker 1: because you're eating too much carbohydrate and not enough protein,
- 17:04Speaker 1: and you'll feel fuller for longer. To your point if
- 17:06Speaker 1: you have more protein and fiber, and you'll find then
- 17:10Speaker 1: that three mills a day will do you. And then
- 17:12Speaker 1: you're only switching on M tour three times.
- 17:14Speaker 3: But M tour is important for muscle.
- 17:17Speaker 1: And you know, if you look at mice, a lot
- 17:20Speaker 1: of them get killed by cancer. And that's why having
- 17:23Speaker 1: low M tour extensor lifespan. But more people die of
- 17:28Speaker 1: scyclopaia related diseases than cancer.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Right, I was literally about to jump in and say,
- 17:33Speaker 2: other than heart disease, frailty related death and illness and
- 17:40Speaker 2: death is up there. I think it is the number
- 17:44Speaker 2: two cause of death, don't quote me on that in
- 17:46Speaker 2: the elderly population, after heart disease. And so when you
- 17:51Speaker 2: think of the fact that we are all going to
- 17:55Speaker 2: be older longer because we are doing all these great
- 17:59Speaker 2: longevity protocols, we're going to be old for a long time,
- 18:05Speaker 2: and so that body composition, as in bone health, managing
- 18:10Speaker 2: body fat, managing muscle mass, preventing cyclopenia, osteopenia, osteoporosis is
- 18:18Speaker 2: really really important. And so I know Petertia has this
- 18:23Speaker 2: great analogy which I think is just is so good
- 18:26Speaker 2: where you want to hit those elderly years at the
- 18:31Speaker 2: top of your game from a strength perspective, from a
- 18:35Speaker 2: mobility perspective, because you're going to decline no matter what.
- 18:38Speaker 2: You want to be declining from up here, not entering
- 18:42Speaker 2: it in a pre frailty position where then you really
- 18:47Speaker 2: you're already behind the eight ball. And so that's why
- 18:51Speaker 2: I think, yes, I understand where the researchers are coming
- 18:54Speaker 2: from and where that theory is around protein, But for me,
- 18:57Speaker 2: managing muscle and protecting muscle way more important is a
- 19:02Speaker 2: much bigger priority.
- 19:03Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's not just the direct causes of cyclopenia
- 19:08Speaker 1: such as osteoporosis and falls, which are big killers, but
- 19:13Speaker 1: it's the contribution of cyclopedia to diabetes, to dementia, to
- 19:18Speaker 1: heart disease, to all of those things. So if you
- 19:20Speaker 1: wrapped it all up, I think you'd find that that
- 19:23Speaker 1: cyclopaia is that probably the biggest driver if you looked
- 19:27Speaker 1: at direct and indirect effects. I reckon you probably find
- 19:30Speaker 1: it's right at the top of the tree.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and i'd love to understand mitochondrial impacts on that
- 19:37Speaker 2: as well, because obviously mitochondria the you know, the largest
- 19:41Speaker 2: amount that we have is in our muscles, and so
- 19:44Speaker 2: if we've had a massive decline there, i'd love to
- 19:46Speaker 2: understand when you're looking at MTUR and then you're looking
- 19:49Speaker 2: at mitochondria, you know where the which one outweighs the other,
- 19:53Speaker 2: because we obviously want that mitochondria function to be as
- 19:57Speaker 2: as high as possible for as long as possible.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Completely agree, and that's why I think they am to
- 20:02Speaker 1: our guys, they're just way too narrow, way too narrow.
- 20:06Speaker 1: And so look that takes care of the of the
- 20:09Speaker 1: nutrition bucket, and I think we're both in agreement a
- 20:12Speaker 1: kind of a modified Mediterranean diet with higher protein, lower carbs,
- 20:16Speaker 1: especially as you get older or if you have fat
- 20:19Speaker 1: around the middle, that's a bloody carbohydrate problem, right. Yeah,
- 20:23Speaker 1: So let's then go in and talk about rather than
- 20:28Speaker 1: do a detailed one on each one of those, because
- 20:31Speaker 1: that'll be a whole podcast. Say you have it sorted
- 20:35Speaker 1: right so that your nutrition is good, that you're exercising
- 20:39Speaker 1: and I think we would both agree a combination of
- 20:41Speaker 1: cardiovascar and strength training. And you know you're sleeping, well,
- 20:47Speaker 1: your mindset's good. What then would you start to layer
- 20:52Speaker 1: in of all those things you mentioned, some of them
- 20:54Speaker 1: like hydrogen, water, mouth taping, cold plungs, creating. What are
- 20:58Speaker 1: the ones that would be that you can't up near
- 21:02Speaker 1: the top of the list. And I know it would
- 21:04Speaker 1: be different for different people, but just throw out a
- 21:06Speaker 1: number of them that you think there's a reasonable amound
- 21:09Speaker 1: behind it.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm going to talk to us.
- 21:13Speaker 3: That's sorry, let's stay let's keep supplements to the end.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Okay, all right, right, okay, all right, So I'm going
- 21:19Speaker 2: to talk to an over forties age group. Is that okay?
- 21:24Speaker 2: So people that are kind of in that in that midlife.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I agree because if you're under forty
- 21:31Speaker 1: and you've got you're doing all those other things, you
- 21:33Speaker 1: don't you don't need any of all this other shit. Yeah,
- 21:36Speaker 1: it's like you need it with your body, slow and die. Right,
- 21:39Speaker 1: So off you go.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, So so just from an exercise perspective, definitely
- 21:44Speaker 2: VO two max training in there as well. So you
- 21:46Speaker 2: need to do that high intensity training, which often drops off,
- 21:50Speaker 2: but that to me is a really really important bio
- 21:53Speaker 2: hack that we need to include. I like some healthy stresses,
- 22:00Speaker 2: and you and I did a whole episode around healthy
- 22:02Speaker 2: and unhealthy stresses, which I found I absolutely loved, and
- 22:07Speaker 2: I think some of those healthy stresses, and we talked
- 22:12Speaker 2: about hot and cold for example. Now for women, the
- 22:16Speaker 2: cold plunge is very controversial, and I am definitely not
- 22:20Speaker 2: an expert in that area, but I definitely think that
- 22:25Speaker 2: using heat and cold therapy in a format that feels
- 22:29Speaker 2: right for you. So for me, for example, heat and
- 22:32Speaker 2: cold together feels right. So you're getting that vasodilation, and
- 22:38Speaker 2: we know that circulation. We know that cardiovascular health is
- 22:42Speaker 2: so important. And when you are changing those temperatures, going,
- 22:46Speaker 2: for example, you're doing eight minutes in the sauna and
- 22:48Speaker 2: then you're going and having a cold plunge or even
- 22:51Speaker 2: just a cold shower and then jumping back in the sauna,
- 22:54Speaker 2: you're getting a lot of vaso dilation where you're getting
- 22:56Speaker 2: these blood vessels. They're almost like doing having.
- 23:00Speaker 1: A workout completely vasal diliation, vasal constriction, vasive dilation, vuzzle constriction.
- 23:06Speaker 1: It's such a massive work out for your cardiovascular system.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Yeah, And so from a biohacking perspective, when you think
- 23:13Speaker 2: about how important our cardiovascular system is, and we know
- 23:17Speaker 2: that women and heart disease skyrockets after menopause, looking after
- 23:22Speaker 2: our cardiovascular system is super important. So that's why I
- 23:25Speaker 2: love the VO two max, which is again driving up
- 23:29Speaker 2: that the health of our cardiovascular system. I do like
- 23:33Speaker 2: that hot and cold therapy. They're ones that I can.
- 23:38Speaker 1: I just jump in the midda with my comment on
- 23:41Speaker 1: the cold because it is there's a bit of controversy
- 23:45Speaker 1: around it, like eight minutes in a nice bath is
- 23:49Speaker 1: just for your ego, just as simple as that. Okay,
- 23:54Speaker 1: and the I spoke to interview profession Make Tipton. You
- 23:58Speaker 1: should get them on. Okay, one leader on cold exposure
- 24:02Speaker 1: and Mike says the vast majority of the benefits come
- 24:06Speaker 1: in the first thirty seconds. If you stay in long
- 24:12Speaker 1: enough to until you shiver, you're not having a negative
- 24:16Speaker 1: effect on your immune system, right. So, and I think
- 24:22Speaker 1: just to be see if and you know, until people
- 24:25Speaker 1: have done the studies on different age groups, sex the
- 24:29Speaker 1: sex differences, until that's clear, just doing a short thirty
- 24:34Speaker 1: seconds to a minute and it doesn't need to be
- 24:36Speaker 1: have ice in it. Anything less than fifteen degrees will
- 24:39Speaker 1: actively at the call shock response.
- 24:41Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. Look I feel that. I like
- 24:45Speaker 2: that when I do it, I can feel exactly what
- 24:48Speaker 2: he's talking about there and longer for me, doesn't doesn't
- 24:54Speaker 2: add any benefits. And I think you've also got to
- 24:56Speaker 2: look at the stage of life you're at. I have
- 24:58Speaker 2: a lot and a lot of my ladies a lot
- 25:00Speaker 2: of unhealthy stresses in their life, and so you've got
- 25:05Speaker 2: to find that line between Okay, well, is this just
- 25:08Speaker 2: adding to that and is this going to you know,
- 25:10Speaker 2: have an impact on my cortisol or my melotonin production.
- 25:14Speaker 2: And so that's why I just but but there is
- 25:17Speaker 2: something there. So that's one. I am a big supplement girl.
- 25:24Speaker 2: I have quite a big supplement stack in a lot
- 25:26Speaker 2: of our you know.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Let's do that. Let's do that now, let's compare supplements.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Okay, all right, okay, but sorry, I'll just add one more.
- 25:33Speaker 2: So we talked about the V two MAX. We talked
- 25:35Speaker 2: about hot cold therapy, we talked about muscle. We talked
- 25:38Speaker 2: about muscle. I would sleep is such an important biohack.
- 25:43Speaker 2: I'm not a mouth I don't think mouth taping is
- 25:47Speaker 2: that personally and the research that I've done around it,
- 25:52Speaker 2: I just I don't see the benefit in that, and
- 25:55Speaker 2: I know that some people do.
- 25:57Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Are your mouth taper.
- 25:59Speaker 3: I most tip? I tell you why most chip because for.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Nearly forty years I had a deviated septum from getting
- 26:08Speaker 1: my nose broken when I was a kid, and they
- 26:10Speaker 1: am broken again when I was boxing and so could
- 26:13Speaker 1: could not breathe through my nose. It was a mouth breather.
- 26:16Speaker 1: And then when I got my nose fixed and started
- 26:20Speaker 1: nose breathing. But what often most briefing at night, so
- 26:22Speaker 1: I tap up to make sure that I'm NAIs or
- 26:25Speaker 1: breathing because I need to retree, and you've got you've.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Got a retraining. I think again, if you are in
- 26:33Speaker 2: the two percenters, and maybe you're an elite athlete or
- 26:35Speaker 2: maybe you've got you know, like what you're talking about.
- 26:39Speaker 2: You might have a medical condition. But for example, a
- 26:42Speaker 2: huge proportion of our members I have undiagnosed LEAPATNA and
- 26:46Speaker 2: it can be really dangerous. It can be really dangerous
- 26:50Speaker 2: to mouth tape. So I just don't that's it's just
- 26:53Speaker 2: not one you go and do blindly. Is it would
- 26:55Speaker 2: be I would you need to go and seek counsel.
- 26:59Speaker 2: It's not one that oh yeah, just you know, just
- 27:01Speaker 2: go and give it a go. And so yeah, that
- 27:07Speaker 2: would that would be one that I tend to kind
- 27:10Speaker 2: of park. So yeah, let's talk about supplements. So again,
- 27:17Speaker 2: a lot of the really targeted supplements are you would
- 27:20Speaker 2: need to have one on one. But I'm going to
- 27:23Speaker 2: talk about I'm going to kind of part I'll talk
- 27:24Speaker 2: about the targeted supplements that we see deficient and insufficient,
- 27:28Speaker 2: but the ones that I think everyone should be taking,
- 27:31Speaker 2: and you know, there's lots of great research behind them
- 27:34Speaker 2: for a bunch of different reasons. Magnesium is collagen. This
- 27:39Speaker 2: is for our kind of over forties and one to
- 27:42Speaker 2: experiment with works for some, not for all this creatine. Yeah,
- 27:48Speaker 2: so magnesium is involved in over two hundred interactions in
- 27:53Speaker 2: the body. It's so so essential and it impacts lots
- 27:58Speaker 2: of things from muscle function to cognition, to sleep, to
- 28:02Speaker 2: stress management, even to thermoregulation. So a lot of people
- 28:09Speaker 2: are insufficient or deficient in magnesium. There's a theory that
- 28:12Speaker 2: it's you know, the soil in the country or the
- 28:15Speaker 2: quality of the food that we eat. We measure that
- 28:17Speaker 2: seram magnesium. Now, it's not an completely accurate measurement because
- 28:24Speaker 2: really you'd have to do a full muscle biopsy, but
- 28:26Speaker 2: it's a pretty good indicator, and it's one of the
- 28:29Speaker 2: markers that is so low on so many of our members,
- 28:33Speaker 2: and it's very hard to reach an upper limit. So
- 28:35Speaker 2: I'm just like, what's the downside?
- 28:37Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, right, Is that that with
- 28:42Speaker 1: magnesium and things like bee venamins and things like that,
- 28:45Speaker 1: it's hard to get to toxicity, whereas something like vitamin
- 28:49Speaker 1: A you can get to toxicity pretty quickly.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Right, So I think that's a very good point, And.
- 28:54Speaker 2: I will just jump in. You just said the bee
- 28:56Speaker 2: vitamins B twelve kind of hard to get to toxicity.
- 29:01Speaker 2: The challenge is not B sixix, so do be very careful.
- 29:05Speaker 2: I don't know why manufacturers put so much B six
- 29:08Speaker 2: into so much stuff. But I had a lady, actually
- 29:11Speaker 2: a presenter on one of the major networks send me
- 29:15Speaker 2: a product that she got on Amazon because she saw
- 29:17Speaker 2: some influencer that had a million followers touting this product.
- 29:21Speaker 2: She ordered it. It's American product and she sent it
- 29:24Speaker 2: to me with the NIP the nutrient information panel. It
- 29:27Speaker 2: had three hundred and fifty percent of the RDI for
- 29:31Speaker 2: B six in it. I said, how did you even
- 29:33Speaker 2: get this in the The TGA would never allow that
- 29:36Speaker 2: in Australia because she bought it cross border and she
- 29:39Speaker 2: had no idea that. And it can trigger neuropathy, so yes, can.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Cause all sorts of nervousues. That's a very good point.
- 29:47Speaker 1: I should have been a bit more precise with my words.
- 29:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just one of those tricky ones. So just
- 29:53Speaker 2: if you are taking a few supplements, just scan down,
- 29:55Speaker 2: have a look at B six and just try to
- 29:57Speaker 2: That's why I'm not a big fan of multi vitem.
- 30:00Speaker 2: I always suggest targeted, so I like, if you are
- 30:03Speaker 2: if you've got sleep issues, designs for health, the brand
- 30:07Speaker 2: does a really nice magnesium called trimag RESTful Night. And
- 30:11Speaker 2: if you've got more muscle issues so you're training hard,
- 30:14Speaker 2: you might get you know, sometimes your eyelid flickers like
- 30:17Speaker 2: a little muscle spasm, or you get restless legs or
- 30:19Speaker 2: cramps in your legs. Then the Bioceuticals Ultra Night musclees
- 30:23Speaker 2: is a great one to have have it in the
- 30:25Speaker 2: art anytime from four pm. So that would be one
- 30:29Speaker 2: collagen is another one. We lose up to thirty percent
- 30:34Speaker 2: of our collagen. And it's not just about having great hair,
- 30:37Speaker 2: skin and nails, because I know you're very focused on
- 30:39Speaker 2: great hair, skin and nails. Paul, that ship sells your eyebrows.
- 30:48Speaker 1: Yeah well, well, yes, well and truly sealed for me.
- 30:51Speaker 1: But yeah, Cardi is a massive fun of collagen. Who's
- 30:54Speaker 1: had it for years. I've been on the collagen since
- 30:57Speaker 1: I had my open heart surgery and to help with
- 31:02Speaker 1: the repair of your boot.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Think about collagens not just a vanity nutrient you think
- 31:07Speaker 2: about it. It's in our bones. It's connective tissue, so
- 31:10Speaker 2: anything that requires that structure. So that's why a lot
- 31:15Speaker 2: of women as they're and men as well, but as
- 31:17Speaker 2: they're getting older in our collagen declines. You hear a
- 31:19Speaker 2: lot of women getting suddenly frozen shoulder or plant our fasciitis.
- 31:24Speaker 2: That's because we're starting to see that connective tissue declining.
- 31:28Speaker 2: And just like our skin gets wrinkly, so does things
- 31:32Speaker 2: like our intestines. You don't think about it, but your
- 31:34Speaker 2: digestive tract it's very similar to skin, and that endothelial
- 31:39Speaker 2: lining gets wrinkly, and then what happens is you have
- 31:42Speaker 2: things like se bow, which is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth
- 31:45Speaker 2: where they're healthy, the gut bugs end up in the
- 31:48Speaker 2: small intestine and parts of the intestine where the gut
- 31:51Speaker 2: bugs aren't meant to be. That triggers an inflammatory response
- 31:54Speaker 2: or you get an increased gut permeability, which is a
- 31:57Speaker 2: bad thing. And so suddenly molecule are passing through the
- 32:01Speaker 2: gut lining which historically wouldn't and that triggers your immune
- 32:05Speaker 2: system to flare up, and suddenly you're now getting EXMA
- 32:09Speaker 2: or an autoimmune condition. So collagen just helps to just.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Just on that. I think a lot of people don't
- 32:16Speaker 1: realize eighty percent if your immune system results in your gut.
- 32:19Speaker 1: So if you have that leaky gut, then that can
- 32:24Speaker 1: trigger all sorts of auto immune conditions.
- 32:27Speaker 2: So yeah, I so many health conditions, and you get
- 32:31Speaker 2: the I get these poor ladies coming to me so
- 32:34Speaker 2: saying I was bomb proof for years and now suddenly
- 32:39Speaker 2: I have to just get a tiny bit of onion
- 32:41Speaker 2: in my lunch and I have to run to the
- 32:43Speaker 2: bathroom with ibs or I've got these auto you know,
- 32:47Speaker 2: rheumatoid arthritis just appears out of nowhere or Hashi motos
- 32:52Speaker 2: or and a lot of those are gut gut related
- 32:55Speaker 2: and also can be healed through the gut. The great
- 32:57Speaker 2: news is the gut loves to heal it, so if
- 33:00Speaker 2: you do the right things, these conditions can be either
- 33:03Speaker 2: managed very well or in some cases completely reversed. So
- 33:07Speaker 2: that's why I like collagen. It's just one of the
- 33:09Speaker 2: many approaches that we have towards, you know, all those
- 33:15Speaker 2: longevity challenges that we have. Creatine was the other one
- 33:20Speaker 2: I mentioned, Yes, so this is an interesting one. You
- 33:24Speaker 2: would have been like me in the nineties when it
- 33:26Speaker 2: had its moment with all the Jim bros And all
- 33:29Speaker 2: my male clients were taking it, and us ladies just
- 33:33Speaker 2: avoided it because we heard you retain water and it's
- 33:35Speaker 2: only for the big muscly guys. But the reason why
- 33:38Speaker 2: it's coming back in the spotlight and why I think
- 33:41Speaker 2: it's something that our two percenters who are listening today
- 33:45Speaker 2: should consider is because of the cognitive and mood and
- 33:51Speaker 2: mental health implications.
- 33:54Speaker 1: And I am a fin.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Are you're fan?
- 33:57Speaker 1: I am a fine Because of the impact on Brian
- 34:01Speaker 1: health and and mood, and especially when you are sleep deprived,
- 34:07Speaker 1: there's pretty good research that it it it immeerially it
- 34:11Speaker 1: or reduces the impact of the negative impact on your
- 34:15Speaker 1: cognitive function whenever you're sleep deprived. But also research just
- 34:20Speaker 1: came out I think last week or two weeks ago
- 34:22Speaker 1: that people with Alzheimer's disease to creating and improve their function.
- 34:28Speaker 1: And it's because it is one of the energy systems
- 34:32Speaker 1: that our sales all use atp PC. Is PC is
- 34:36Speaker 1: fossil creating, and so yeah, it's had it's had another renaissance,
- 34:41Speaker 1: and and yeah, from a neuroscience perspective, I'm I'm I'm
- 34:45Speaker 1: all in on it.
- 34:46Speaker 2: And I'm so happy you say that.
- 34:50Speaker 1: Have you noticed any negatives with it other than people
- 34:53Speaker 1: who have kidney issues? Is there anybody else who should
- 34:57Speaker 1: be concerned about creating? And any other groups? I mean,
- 35:02Speaker 1: I think vegans should certainly be taking more creating because
- 35:05Speaker 1: I'm likely to get a lot less of it in
- 35:06Speaker 1: their diet.
- 35:07Speaker 2: It's very hard to get your RDI through nutrition alone.
- 35:13Speaker 2: You have to be eating a lot of meat to
- 35:16Speaker 2: do it. No, is the answer to that question. Unless
- 35:19Speaker 2: you've got kidney issues. Then there's been a small incidence
- 35:25Speaker 2: of some gut disturbances in the early days. But I
- 35:27Speaker 2: say with anything, you kind of ty trate up. You
- 35:30Speaker 2: might start on a third of a dose just for
- 35:32Speaker 2: that first week while your gut adjusts. What I say
- 35:35Speaker 2: to people who are like, oh my god, I merely
- 35:37Speaker 2: do I really have to be taking another supplement, what
- 35:40Speaker 2: I say is take it for six to eight weeks
- 35:44Speaker 2: and if you notice a difference, then absolutely keep taking it.
- 35:47Speaker 2: And if you don't notice a difference, maybe your natural
- 35:50Speaker 2: muscle saturation level was good. But I know for me personally,
- 35:55Speaker 2: it made I started taking it at the start of
- 35:57Speaker 2: the year, and I have been shocked at the difference
- 36:00Speaker 2: it's made. And I can there's three key areas in
- 36:02Speaker 2: my life where I really notice it so much so
- 36:05Speaker 2: that I take it super religiously now. So first of all,
- 36:08Speaker 2: it was in my training. So anyone that does high
- 36:12Speaker 2: intensity interval training, so I do crossfits, so you've got
- 36:16Speaker 2: those hard wads where you're maxing out. You might be
- 36:18Speaker 2: doing maximum burpies or chins, but you're also doing strength.
- 36:22Speaker 2: We also have a strength component, So in my workouts,
- 36:25Speaker 2: I've got such a consistent life. I'm a pretty good
- 36:28Speaker 2: guinea pig, and I've been doing it for so long
- 36:30Speaker 2: so I know that once if I'm doing a wad
- 36:32Speaker 2: and there's lots of burpies in that, I know. I
- 36:34Speaker 2: get to burpie number, you know, six, seven or eight,
- 36:36Speaker 2: and I start to feel that labor coming in and
- 36:39Speaker 2: I start to feel like I have to really work hard.
- 36:42Speaker 2: I was doing these wads and I was getting to
- 36:44Speaker 2: like twelve, thirteen, fourteen, going oh my god, it's only
- 36:47Speaker 2: kicking in now that I'm having to work that bit harder.
- 36:50Speaker 2: I noticed my recovery was a lot stronger. I got stronger.
- 36:54Speaker 2: So for example, my heavy dead lifts, heavy squats, I
- 36:57Speaker 2: was hitting pbs getting a lot sot the next day,
- 37:01Speaker 2: which is a great sign that I was able to
- 37:03Speaker 2: overload that little bit more. But then the other two
- 37:06Speaker 2: areas was firstly my focus. So if you're someone that
- 37:11Speaker 2: has to do a lot of deep, hard work and
- 37:15Speaker 2: you find focus, you know where you know where your
- 37:17Speaker 2: brain's having to work really hard. I noticed a huge
- 37:21Speaker 2: improvement in my ability to focus, and I'd kind of
- 37:23Speaker 2: look up and go, holy moly, it's been two hours. Wow,
- 37:26Speaker 2: I've just been in flow. And then the third area, Paul,
- 37:30Speaker 2: which is my husband, was the one that actually noticed.
- 37:34Speaker 2: He said to me jeez, you've been in a good
- 37:36Speaker 2: mood for like a long time.
- 37:39Speaker 1: I thought you were going to mention the Beatle that.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Not that good. Oh man, I'd be patenting it and
- 37:47Speaker 2: eying shares in it. I can't say that it has
- 37:51Speaker 2: the impact with that, but he were back. Definitely, I've
- 37:56Speaker 2: noticed those those feelings of low or depression or overwhelm.
- 38:03Speaker 2: I've just had more pep in my step. I've just
- 38:05Speaker 2: been like, yeah, will be it. We'll be fine. To
- 38:07Speaker 2: worry about that.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, and look again, there's there's good research
- 38:12Speaker 1: around it, and actually people with depression tacking creating. It's
- 38:15Speaker 1: significantly as a positive signet, significantly positive impact. And I
- 38:21Speaker 1: think if you think of all the sports supplement, it's
- 38:24Speaker 1: the most tested, it's the seafest, it's the one with
- 38:27Speaker 1: the biggest impact. And then now you throw then the
- 38:30Speaker 1: cognitive and the mood benefits. I think other than people
- 38:33Speaker 1: with chronic kidney disease, and I think you'd be bonkers
- 38:37Speaker 1: if you're not.
- 38:38Speaker 2: YEA, think about it, and look, I do think try it.
- 38:41Speaker 2: I think if.
- 38:42Speaker 1: You've run an experiment, if you do it for.
- 38:44Speaker 2: Eight weeks and you don't notice anything, then either yet
- 38:47Speaker 2: saturation levels are good, or maybe you're not. You're not
- 38:50Speaker 2: one of those people that's training to the max or
- 38:52Speaker 2: focusing or having mood issues. So you know, I don't
- 38:54Speaker 2: want people taking something for no reason.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you've got you do the ex and
- 39:00Speaker 1: then you go off it because sometimes people don't notice
- 39:03Speaker 1: that up until they leave it right, and then it's yeah, okay,
- 39:06Speaker 1: So there's the big three magnesium collagen creating. Yeah, any others.
- 39:12Speaker 3: Yes, we're lessed.
- 39:14Speaker 1: I know.
- 39:14Speaker 2: And I'm going to sound like I'm a supplement peddler.
- 39:16Speaker 2: I promise you. I'm a food first girl. But we
- 39:19Speaker 2: are just talking supplements. There are two more that are
- 39:23Speaker 2: so so powerful, and a massive trial has just been
- 39:27Speaker 2: released that will blow your mind. And you're not going
- 39:31Speaker 2: to believe me, but I promise you it's true because
- 39:33Speaker 2: I've literally just been on Channel nine about it and
- 39:36Speaker 2: interviewed the I had tracked down the lead researcher. That's
- 39:39Speaker 2: how fusy I am about this. Okay, it's so I'll
- 39:43Speaker 2: tell you about the trial and then I'll reveal the protocol.
- 39:46Speaker 2: So this trial was gold standard double blind clinical trial.
- 39:52Speaker 2: Two thousand older adults, so seventy or older but they've
- 39:56Speaker 2: done a sister study for fifty to seventy years ros
- 40:00Speaker 2: that had the same results. So if you're over fifty,
- 40:02Speaker 2: it's the same. So two thousand participants, three years, double
- 40:08Speaker 2: blind clinical trial.
- 40:10Speaker 1: Where they already you've got me excited, Yes, already, I'm
- 40:14Speaker 1: excited this.
- 40:15Speaker 2: Honestly, you are going to nerd out. Oh my god,
- 40:18Speaker 2: I love talking to a nerd. So done in Switzerland,
- 40:23Speaker 2: but there was all over Europe all these participants. They
- 40:26Speaker 2: were a healthy cohort. They were not an unhealthy day
- 40:28Speaker 2: was screened. Okay, Over the three years doing these the
- 40:32Speaker 2: group that did the three interventions I'm about to reveal
- 40:36Speaker 2: had a sixty one percent reduction in invasive CANCERSZ, thirty
- 40:42Speaker 2: nine percent reduction in pre frailty, which is basically the
- 40:47Speaker 2: precursor to frailty which we're talking about early with acycopenia.
- 40:51Speaker 2: And they had a significant reduction in biological age and
- 40:54Speaker 2: they used six different biological age standardized tests to measure
- 40:59Speaker 2: it by logical age. Are you ready for the reveal? Okay,
- 41:05Speaker 2: Vitamin D supplementation. Oh there it is fantastic, rapid D baby, I.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Love, I'm such a fun Are you going to throw
- 41:16Speaker 1: in a Mega three fatty acids.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Satah, my friend, and the winner is a Mega three
- 41:22Speaker 2: fatty acids. And then the third intervention was exercise.
- 41:27Speaker 1: There you go, and.
- 41:28Speaker 2: It was three days a week, the world simplest at
- 41:31Speaker 2: home using bands. It was one of those, you know,
- 41:34Speaker 2: really daggy at home thirty minutes, three times a week. Now.
- 41:37Speaker 2: A couple of things here. So the cohort, because I
- 41:43Speaker 2: said in the interview with this lady, oh, that doesn't
- 41:45Speaker 2: surprise me because so many of my ladies are low
- 41:47Speaker 2: in vitamin D. So she said, interestingly, they measured their
- 41:52Speaker 2: cohort and their cohorts vitamin D levels were actually okay.
- 41:57Speaker 2: So this and that makes the study even more mind
- 42:01Speaker 2: blowing because well.
- 42:02Speaker 3: When I guess what level they got? Did the measure
- 42:05Speaker 3: the level that they got, they did.
- 42:06Speaker 2: But I can't. At the top of my head, I can't.
- 42:08Speaker 1: I would. I would hazard a guess. It's between one
- 42:12Speaker 1: hundred and one hundred and fifty nine animals per liter.
- 42:15Speaker 1: And what we'll do is we'll get the study and
- 42:17Speaker 1: we'll pop it in and we'll see if I'm right
- 42:19Speaker 1: or if I'm full of shit. Okay, you know the
- 42:22Speaker 1: interesting thing, because I just started writing my I've just
- 42:24Speaker 1: finished my new book, and in terms of my dietary interventions,
- 42:30Speaker 1: I talk about a number of different things. One is
- 42:32Speaker 1: lowering your ultra process food. Other to your vitamin D
- 42:35Speaker 1: supplementation and an Amiga three FIO. Because there's just so
- 42:39Speaker 1: much evidence and no obviously this study I might have
- 42:43Speaker 1: to I might have to get that study and put
- 42:45Speaker 1: it into my book before it's published for anyone.
- 42:48Speaker 2: Well, it is published now. It's called the DO Health Trial,
- 42:51Speaker 2: So just google do Health Trial and there's a whole
- 42:54Speaker 2: website and there's a whole bunch of subsequent studies that
- 42:57Speaker 2: so they've opened up the die. So then other researchers
- 43:01Speaker 2: have gone in and done all the data. So the
- 43:03Speaker 2: three interventions, they broke the groups up into all these
- 43:06Speaker 2: different groups, so like one group just did exercise alone,
- 43:09Speaker 2: one group just took vitamin D one and.
- 43:12Speaker 3: They all love it.
- 43:13Speaker 2: They mixed it all up. But of course the group
- 43:15Speaker 2: that got the best results was the group that did
- 43:18Speaker 2: all three interventions, and it just shows that the sum
- 43:20Speaker 2: of their parts is greater than their whole. And one
- 43:23Speaker 2: of their big findings is that you know, when you
- 43:25Speaker 2: combine interventions, you often will receive this out and.
- 43:31Speaker 1: You know why I'm not surprised by this beacause there
- 43:35Speaker 1: are no twelve published wholemarks of aging such as inflammation,
- 43:42Speaker 1: loss of peruleiostheosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction. There's twelve that has
- 43:47Speaker 1: been recognized and again in my book, exercise targets all
- 43:52Speaker 1: twelve of the whole marks of aging vinamin D I
- 43:55Speaker 1: can't remember where it's ten or twelve off the top
- 43:58Speaker 1: of my head, and Amiga three at least seven ory
- 44:01Speaker 1: of those whole marks of aging. So there are multiple
- 44:05Speaker 1: entry points into the body by what these are having
- 44:09Speaker 1: positive effects and then the synergy, as you say, if
- 44:12Speaker 1: they're all positive, then that's synergy.
- 44:14Speaker 2: That synergistic effect, and you don't need to be insufficient
- 44:18Speaker 2: or deficient in those market in those nutrients for it
- 44:22Speaker 2: to be beneficial. In fact, she said, when they when
- 44:27Speaker 2: they massage the data and they pulled out the deficient
- 44:30Speaker 2: or insufficient people, that sixty one percent reduction in invasive
- 44:34Speaker 2: cancers jumped a lot higher. So that's what blew my
- 44:38Speaker 2: mind because I was like, oh, is it just because
- 44:39Speaker 2: everyone's so low in those nutrients, But it's like, no,
- 44:42Speaker 2: it actually offers a protective element and that's a true biohack,
- 44:46Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like people talk about biohacking,
- 44:49Speaker 2: this is in my mind what true biohacking is. Where
- 44:53Speaker 2: you've got average normal levels so you're not deficient or insufficient,
- 44:57Speaker 2: but then you biohack by even adding more and you
- 45:00Speaker 2: get this huge like reduction in invasive cancers by sixty
- 45:05Speaker 2: one percent.
- 45:06Speaker 1: Like this is right. So this is the point where
- 45:12Speaker 1: if you're listening, stop listening to wankers like Professor David
- 45:17Speaker 1: Sinclair touting fucking AMMN that has got really small industry
- 45:24Speaker 1: back studies that are just not just buy fucking vinamin
- 45:28Speaker 1: D and good quality of Mega three fish oil.
- 45:32Speaker 3: And look, neither me nor you we don't have any brands.
- 45:37Speaker 1: That we're I'm not.
- 45:39Speaker 2: I wish I did, Jesus, I'd be a millionaire by.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Now, I know. But look, neither of us want to go.
- 45:44Speaker 3: We don't want for good reasons.
- 45:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 45:47Speaker 3: So so this is what my doc put me on.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Is rapid D. It's orthoplex orthoplex rapid D and fuck
- 45:54Speaker 1: my levels went boom. Yeah, And I am a big
- 45:59Speaker 1: fan like and this is where the medical system and
- 46:05Speaker 1: functional medicine are very different. And I know you know
- 46:07Speaker 1: this because you're in this space, right. It is the
- 46:09Speaker 1: medical system. Doctors don't even test for it, and they
- 46:12Speaker 1: will say, don't worry about your vintamin D unless you
- 46:15Speaker 1: are insufficient, right.
- 46:16Speaker 2: Which is or even deficient even I mean most of
- 46:19Speaker 2: our ladies come in insufficient. The doctors haven't mentioned anything.
- 46:22Speaker 2: The vitamins well below fifty before they suggest, whereas we
- 46:28Speaker 2: like our ladies at least over eighty, ideally over one hundred.
- 46:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm same, get into that one hundred to
- 46:34Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty band because optimal is very different
- 46:38Speaker 1: to what the sick curse system will take. And that's
- 46:43Speaker 1: we don't have a healthcare system. We got a sick
- 46:44Speaker 1: curse system, right, So that that's the difference. So if
- 46:47Speaker 1: you want to be optimal, get your vitamin D up.
- 46:49Speaker 1: The other thing is Amiga threes. Get do There's a
- 46:54Speaker 1: test called Amiga quant. You can go to Amiga quant
- 46:57Speaker 1: and measure your Amiga three in debt, which is a
- 47:00Speaker 1: measure of the Amiga threes in your red blood sales,
- 47:04Speaker 1: which is a marker of the last three months. People
- 47:07Speaker 1: with an Amiga three index of IoT live five years longer.
- 47:12Speaker 1: Than people with an Amiga three index.
- 47:14Speaker 3: Of five, right and mine is six? Expression has that right?
- 47:18Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's a spot. It's a fingerprick if yes,
- 47:22Speaker 2: we're talking about as similar. It's actually a thing, a
- 47:24Speaker 2: dry blood spot. So you actually prick your finger, prick
- 47:26Speaker 2: your finger. There's a couple of great we do this
- 47:30Speaker 2: test and you get a whole bunch of Amiga like
- 47:32Speaker 2: an advanced Amiga panel. You get a Mega three six ratio,
- 47:35Speaker 2: you get a Mega three index. And so for example,
- 47:38Speaker 2: I'm on a one hundred and twenty day protocol at
- 47:42Speaker 2: the moment with I'm actually using a brand called Zinzeno,
- 47:46Speaker 2: which is a Swiss brand. So we're measuring the blood
- 47:48Speaker 2: spot and I'm taking this citrus based oil. I actually
- 47:53Speaker 2: mix it with my dark chocolate collagen. My Chief, I
- 47:56Speaker 2: love Chief does a great dark hot chocolate collagen, and
- 47:59Speaker 2: so I taste like a jaffa because you've got three
- 48:03Speaker 2: oil that is citrusy and you can't taste the fishiness
- 48:07Speaker 2: of it, and then you have the collagen. And so
- 48:11Speaker 2: over this one hundred and twenty days and they've got
- 48:14Speaker 2: they've done something like I don't know, four hundred thousand
- 48:18Speaker 2: of these tests and so they have a lot of
- 48:21Speaker 2: research to show the improvements. And so I'm hoping mine
- 48:24Speaker 2: will be over eight my Amiga three index, my Amiga
- 48:27Speaker 2: index will be over eight percent when I retest in
- 48:31Speaker 2: a few weeks.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Yeah, And so all our family got tested, and Oscar
- 48:36Speaker 1: has been the one who's been the best at TICK
- 48:38Speaker 1: and his his is not above it great. Mine's about
- 48:42Speaker 1: six and a half and was about five. No I
- 48:45Speaker 1: Technodic Naturals, And again, listeners, we have new affiliations with
- 48:49Speaker 1: any brands, any fish oiler you want to. Don't buy
- 48:54Speaker 1: the ship from Chemist were hosts. Please do not buy
- 48:56Speaker 1: that ship. Go to you can go to I four,
- 49:00Speaker 1: which does independent testing, screens them for tensos and toxins,
- 49:05Speaker 1: looks at the purity. So you talked about Zenzeno I
- 49:08Speaker 1: Technotic Naturals that there will be good quality ones. Spend
- 49:13Speaker 1: your money on that chip because that impact of a
- 49:16Speaker 1: particularly when you combine vitamin D and Amiga three thai
- 49:18Speaker 1: acids an exercise for boom boom.
- 49:21Speaker 3: And I'm really gat to talk about anything else.
- 49:23Speaker 2: I know, I feel like, let's just guys, get off
- 49:26Speaker 2: the podcast, go and get on your vitamin ding a
- 49:28Speaker 2: Omega three. But just a quick fun fact that I
- 49:30Speaker 2: learned from interviewing the head researcher from that drue health trial.
- 49:35Speaker 2: They used an algae based Omega three ah, not a
- 49:40Speaker 2: not a fish based one, and one of the main
- 49:43Speaker 2: there were two reasons. Number one, because this was a
- 49:45Speaker 2: double blind study that it couldn't have a fish taste
- 49:49Speaker 2: because it needed to be because the placebo group were
- 49:52Speaker 2: getting sugar pill or whatever it was. So but number two,
- 49:55Speaker 2: for sustainability, they did a lot of research and they
- 49:58Speaker 2: said algae based. But interestingly, throughout my career, I've always
- 50:02Speaker 2: heard that algae based Amiga three supplements have a worse
- 50:07Speaker 2: uptake in the body, that they're not as bioavailable as
- 50:10Speaker 2: the fish one. And I mentioned this to her and
- 50:12Speaker 2: she's like, well, I've got the three thousand studies, three
- 50:16Speaker 2: thousand subjects study to show that, yes, there was a
- 50:19Speaker 2: big uptake in it. So I wonder if we might
- 50:22Speaker 2: be seeing And one of my girlfriends, who owns a
- 50:24Speaker 2: bunch of a bunch of supplement stores, she goes, we
- 50:28Speaker 2: don't really have many algae based Amiga three. She couldn't
- 50:31Speaker 2: think of any off the top of her head. So yeah,
- 50:34Speaker 2: there you go.
- 50:35Speaker 1: That's normally one that I say, if you're vegetarian, vegan,
- 50:37Speaker 1: you can go and.
- 50:38Speaker 2: Yeah, and don't be upset. Don't be upset if yeah, because.
- 50:42Speaker 3: Maybe we only need to look at it.
- 50:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, them coming through.
- 50:46Speaker 1: Okay, So we have magnesium, we have color geen, we're
- 50:50Speaker 1: creatam we got vitamin D, we got amiga three. Yeah.
- 50:53Speaker 1: Is there anything else that is worth pushing the boat on?
- 50:57Speaker 2: Only if you're insufficient or deficient. So this is where
- 51:00Speaker 2: testing comes in. So pretty much all of those if
- 51:03Speaker 2: you all, you know, I'm relatively comfortable recommending those, And
- 51:09Speaker 2: of course you can cycle in and out of them
- 51:10Speaker 2: and don't want you, you know, having buckets of powder
- 51:14Speaker 2: a day, so you might go through different phases. The
- 51:18Speaker 2: rest is just targeted. So, for example, a lot of
- 51:20Speaker 2: our ladies are low in iron, but I would never
- 51:23Speaker 2: recommend supplementing with iron unless you've been diagnosed. But that's
- 51:27Speaker 2: a big energy one. So if you're one of those
- 51:29Speaker 2: people that are listening going, oh yeah, I've been low
- 51:32Speaker 2: in iron for years, I'm like, get onto that shit.
- 51:34Speaker 2: You need to improve that because if you're waking up
- 51:37Speaker 2: with your knuckles dragging on the ground, you're getting sick
- 51:40Speaker 2: more regularly. You know. Low iron is a big one.
- 51:43Speaker 2: So yeah, the rest of them are really just more
- 51:46Speaker 2: around if your own unique markers are insufficient, and then
- 51:49Speaker 2: you take a targeted one. B twelve is another one
- 51:52Speaker 2: to measure track.
- 51:54Speaker 3: Yeah, cool, very very good, and look those less.
- 51:58Speaker 1: The only other supplements that I'm ticking it too is
- 52:01Speaker 1: because of my recent condition. So I take iron because
- 52:05Speaker 1: when you do your open heart surgery, or even before it,
- 52:09Speaker 1: because of the condition, your hemoglobin drops through the floor
- 52:14Speaker 1: my hemoglobe. So I'm taking beef liver capsules. Higgins, just
- 52:17Speaker 1: close your ears on that one. The other one is
- 52:20Speaker 1: you biquin all, which is Coen's m Q ten And
- 52:25Speaker 1: that's again for my heart because I've just had open
- 52:28Speaker 1: heart surgery. I'm not suggesting everybody takes it, but the
- 52:30Speaker 1: one that I think is worthwhile looking into is glinac,
- 52:35Speaker 1: that combination of glycine and an acetyl cystein oka. And
- 52:41Speaker 1: so I remember with Professor Grant Scophi, we were at
- 52:45Speaker 1: a talk with this psychiatrist was showing all the studies
- 52:48Speaker 1: they were doing on an acetyl systing for mood and
- 52:52Speaker 1: and like psychosis and and just amazing. And then I
- 52:56Speaker 1: saw studies on GLINAC and a series of studies that
- 53:00Speaker 1: in animals, they reduce oxidative stress, they reduce inflammation, they
- 53:06Speaker 1: improve mitochondrial function to a couple of other things, and
- 53:10Speaker 1: enhance longevity. And then there was a series of studies
- 53:14Speaker 1: in older adults that showed they improve mitochondrial function, improved
- 53:18Speaker 1: oxidative stress, reduced ox of stress, reduced inflammation. Obviously, they
- 53:22Speaker 1: didn't look at longevity because it's not long enough of
- 53:25Speaker 1: a study. But when you see something like that where
- 53:30Speaker 1: you see it in animals, there's an impact on longevity
- 53:33Speaker 1: and there are describable mechanisms that contribute to that. And
- 53:38Speaker 1: then you see in humans they're saying mechanisms being up regulated.
- 53:42Speaker 1: That makes me set up and take notice. Yeah, but again,
- 53:46Speaker 1: probably don't need to be on that until you're in
- 53:48Speaker 1: your fortiesh prom or even fifties.
- 53:51Speaker 2: I tell you the cohort that responds really well to
- 53:54Speaker 2: NAK what you just mentioned is Perry and menopause transition
- 54:01Speaker 2: at women who are going through the storm season and
- 54:04Speaker 2: the hormonal fluctuations. We actually, aside from hormone replacement therapy,
- 54:09Speaker 2: which works really well for people, the only other supplement
- 54:12Speaker 2: we don't do the ashraganda, We don't do the herbs
- 54:14Speaker 2: or anything like that. But what we do do is
- 54:16Speaker 2: a combination of NACK which you just mentioned, and DIM
- 54:21Speaker 2: DIM complex as well, so we use switch nutrition. They
- 54:25Speaker 2: have a tub of NACK and a tub of DIM
- 54:27Speaker 2: and particularly in the last two weeks of your cycle,
- 54:31Speaker 2: when estrogen metabolism becomes super important for managing those hormonal fluctuations,
- 54:37Speaker 2: we find even if you're taking those just for the
- 54:40Speaker 2: two weeks leading up to period, we get a lot
- 54:44Speaker 2: of symptom reduction and symptom management, and that's because they work.
- 54:50Speaker 2: The mechanism behind it is helping your body to detoxify
- 54:54Speaker 2: those sex hormones, particularly those estrogen where you're getting those
- 54:57Speaker 2: estrogen spikes and then falling off a cliff. So yeah,
- 55:00Speaker 2: so I didn't I learned something today from where you're standing.
- 55:05Speaker 2: But for perimenopause menopause symptoms, it works very well. Certainly
- 55:10Speaker 2: for me it does.
- 55:11Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, the other thing you mentioned there is
- 55:13Speaker 1: HRT and I think that the evidence around HRT and
- 55:17Speaker 1: I is pretty there's still a bit of fear out
- 55:21Speaker 1: there that because there was old studies shown that it
- 55:25Speaker 1: might increase cancerous breast cancers completely disproven. And I know
- 55:32Speaker 1: several women who went on HRT halfway through menopause and went,
- 55:37Speaker 1: oh my god, what a difference. Jesus Christ. Well, wasn't
- 55:43Speaker 1: I on this right from the start. And then for
- 55:47Speaker 1: men I think, which is big in the States but
- 55:51Speaker 1: not so much here. I think at a certain element,
- 55:55Speaker 1: and again this is getting your hormones measured. I think
- 55:58Speaker 1: testosterone replacemi therapy. I mean, I'm not on it yet
- 56:01Speaker 1: because I'm lifting lots of heavy shit and my testosterone
- 56:04Speaker 1: is still okay. But I think in the future I
- 56:08Speaker 1: will probably be on some sort of testosterone replacement therapy
- 56:12Speaker 1: because when you have those mature hormones that are so
- 56:16Speaker 1: critical for us to function normally, when they drop like
- 56:20Speaker 1: just bad shit happens.
- 56:22Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, and we don't have to we don't have
- 56:27Speaker 2: to live like that anymore. That this is again true
- 56:30Speaker 2: biohacking when we can help to manage that natural decline,
- 56:36Speaker 2: and particularly with women, because you do have such a
- 56:40Speaker 2: big hormone readjustment through menopause, it's managing that storm season.
- 56:47Speaker 2: And then if you manage it well, just like a
- 56:50Speaker 2: sailor manages a storm out on the ocean, He battens
- 56:53Speaker 2: down the hatches, he locks the cupboards, he gets the
- 56:56Speaker 2: sale ready. You manage to navigate the storm season while
- 56:59Speaker 2: you come out the other side less batter than bruised.
- 57:02Speaker 2: And we have so many options available to us now.
- 57:05Speaker 2: So it's a really good news story. It's a great
- 57:08Speaker 2: time to be aging because we have got these We
- 57:13Speaker 2: have got these great new bio hacks at our fingertips.
- 57:16Speaker 2: They just have to that's once you're getting into hormone replacement,
- 57:21Speaker 2: you need to be working with a doctor that is
- 57:25Speaker 2: really experienced. And that's why I'm a huge advocate of integrative, integrative,
- 57:29Speaker 2: functional medicine doctors who are really taking a root cause
- 57:33Speaker 2: approach and they've done a lot of extra training. So
- 57:35Speaker 2: you just want to make sure that you're not just
- 57:37Speaker 2: dealing with a regular GP who hasn't just literally hasn't
- 57:41Speaker 2: done the training.
- 57:42Speaker 3: Yeah, and I tell you what, I fully endorsed that.
- 57:45Speaker 1: And I use my functional medicine doctor picture I to
- 57:49Speaker 1: Kitlin and post heart surgery because if I hadn't been
- 57:53Speaker 1: working with her, I can tell you right now, I
- 57:56Speaker 1: my recovery would not have been as quick or really
- 58:00Speaker 1: as it has been. Yeah. One hundred percent. So let's
- 58:05Speaker 1: look that. The last thing that I wanted, the topic
- 58:08Speaker 1: that I want to talk about, which is kind of
- 58:11Speaker 1: related to this, are our key biomarkers to track, like
- 58:16Speaker 1: what are the things that people should be going and
- 58:20Speaker 1: doing it, including the ones that you know your GP
- 58:24Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, and that a lot of people just
- 58:27Speaker 1: aren't doing because they haven't visited a doctor for years.
- 58:30Speaker 1: And this is especially you know, as you get north
- 58:33Speaker 1: of forty. You know, previously I would have said as
- 58:36Speaker 1: you get north of fifty, but no, I just did
- 58:38Speaker 1: a podcast this morning on the massive increase in cancers
- 58:43Speaker 1: in people under fifty nine, not because we are aging
- 58:48Speaker 1: biologically much quicker and that's why there's more cancer. So
- 58:51Speaker 1: I think we the old fit for forty is that
- 58:55Speaker 1: the new fifty? Right?
- 58:57Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're one of the unlucky ones that isn't
- 59:01Speaker 2: managing their health, well, it's it's this interesting conundrum. I'll
- 59:07Speaker 2: throw two quick stats at you and then i'll talk
- 59:09Speaker 2: about the biomarkers. The average lifespan in Australia has just
- 59:15Speaker 2: gone backwards for the first time in thirty years, so
- 59:18Speaker 2: I can't remember exactly. It's unfortunate, isn't it. With all
- 59:21Speaker 2: this great technology, our average lifespan has actually gone backwards
- 59:25Speaker 2: for the first time.
- 59:27Speaker 1: That our kids are predicted to not live as long
- 59:30Speaker 1: as us. That's fucked. That is fucked.
- 59:33Speaker 2: But before you go necking yourself, let me give you
- 59:36Speaker 2: some good news story. The rate of centenarians in Australia,
- 59:40Speaker 2: people over one hundred years old, is growing at a
- 59:43Speaker 2: rate of six percent per year. So this is two
- 59:47Speaker 2: contradicting stats. Right, you go, well, how can that be?
- 59:50Speaker 2: Well I'll explain how that is. The reason why our
- 59:54Speaker 2: age has gone backwards is because of chronic, mostly preventable disease.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: So let's think of if we really want to biohack
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: our way into longevity and a long life. The first
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: goal is to avoid the four horsemen, as Peter Attire
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: calls them. Okay, because that is if you're able to
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: avoid the four horsemen, that's why our life SPAN's going backwards.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: If you're one of the lucky ones like you and me,
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: you proactively went and had heart surgery to avoid one
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: of the four horsemen, which is heart disease. If you
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: are able to avoid the four horsemen, then you are
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: going to live a bloody long time and at the moment,
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: I feel like the majority of your listeners are so
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: interested in their health, they're going to be that cohort.
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: But the four horsemen are heart disease, metabolic disease so
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: type two diabetes, fastest growing, one hundred percent preventable cancer,
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: and neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's, dementia, etc. So all of those.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: For what underpins that is inflammation and that's why we
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: hear so much about managing our inflammation. That's why a
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Mega three vitamin D mechanism and has been so successful
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: in that trial. So yeah, there's a good news story
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: for you before I get onto biomarkers. But that's why
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: prevention is so powerful and taking a proactive approach to
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: your health. Because if we're a true bio hacker and
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: number one goal is to avoid the four horsemen, how
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: do we do that? Well, we measure, and we track
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: and we pick up the early early whispers. So for example,
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: heart disease, what's your cholesterol like precursor for heart disease?
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: And it's a whole other podcast on cholesterol, but we've
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: got our standard cholesterol panels that you'll get where you'll
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: get your triglycerides, your LDL, your HDL. Okay, if you're
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: just getting the standard one's done and everything's perfect, then
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: you're good. But if you're coming in and you'r LDL,
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: which is the lousy cholesterols high, and your tryglycerides are high, well,
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: you might want to then consider doing what are in
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: a in functional health world will then send you off
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: for an advanced lipid panel so we can actually dig
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: down deeper, whereas it regular jeep I.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: Would say not, you want to consider you bloody well shot? Yeah,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: go and get your LDL, particle size measures, your LP,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: little A, your april B, all of those things, because
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: it's a very crude instrument just overall LDL and hits
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: the L cholesterols crude ears.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Right correct one hundred percent. But for those of you
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: that are sitting here and your cholesterol is perfect and
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: you don't have body fat issues and you've got no
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: high blood pressure, then that's probably enough for you. You
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: might want to save your two hundred bucks or whatever
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: whatever it costs to get the advanced panel. But for
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: a lot of my ladies, they have never struggled with cholesterol,
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: and suddenly they hit pery and menopause and their cholesterol
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: jumps up and they have no idea what so so.
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: So the whole reason why we measure and track these
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: biomarkers is to pick up the early warning signs. And
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: your GP won't tell you these because they're just too busy.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: And the gps are designed the medical systems designed to
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: detect disease. So I have these ladies that have had
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: insulin resistance for five or ten years that we look
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: at their markers. We measure a marker called homer ir
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: so hmair, which is just that it's actually an calculation of
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: a bunch of other metabolic markers, but that will definitively
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: tell you if you're insulin resistant. And HbA one c
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: is another really powerful one. We know that, you know,
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: we like our ladies or our members to be under
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: five point two percent for HbA one c, but we
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: know that five point six to six point five is
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: pre diabetes type two diabetes. So the markers we track
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: we in our program in a Vitality, which is the
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: main program that our members start on. So if you
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: come into Jasmina and if you come into Vitality three sixty,
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: we do this test. You get fifty five buyer markers,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: and then you do our inner Vitality program, and so
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: we're measuring cardiovascular markers, we're measuring inflammation inflammatory markers. We
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: want to look at HCRP, creating canas like take dehydrogenase.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: There's lots of inflammation markers, but they're ones that we
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: just look at. We look at certain hormones such as
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: thyroid panel. We don't do the sex hormones. That's a
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: whole other conversation, but we certainly for some people we
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: do send them off for them. We look at liver function,
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: kidney function, We look at key micronutrients, so iron is one.
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: We spoke about vitamin D as well. So it's important
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: to start to track and understand what these markers are
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: telling you. So EGFI, for example, is a really important
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: kidney marker. Kidney disease is silent, and we have people
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: that are at stage three or stage four kidney disease
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: and didn't even realize it. And EDFI is a great
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: market to help you also understand how well your body detoxifies.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: And you know, we have lots of jokes in the
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: program of who's going to have the worst hangover and
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: if your EDFI is, you know, lower than this mark,
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: then you're going to have a much, a much worse
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: hangover than someone who's EDFI is well over ninety. So yeah,
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: we educate you so that you understand what these markers
- 1:05:36Speaker 2: mean and you know how to track them and pick
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: up those early whispers so that you can keep those
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: four horsemen at bay.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I totally agree that keeping those things that
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: they is absolutely critical. And yeah, yeah would fully endorse
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: people to go along and explore those deeper markers, and
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: even before they get there, and if people go, well,
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: I don't have the money for that. I think making
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: a screen from metabolic syndrome is so frigging important. So
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: for people listening, metabolic syndrome is basically a cluster of conditions,
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: or it's a condition that is there's three from five markers,
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: and it depends who you listen to right about what
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: the cutoffs are, but basically it's high blood pressure, low
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: head SDL or the good and inverticomas, cholesterol, high triglycerides,
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: high fasting glucose, and central obesicly high waste circumference. Three
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: from five you have metabolic syndrome. And especially if you
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: have four or five. And what that means, metabolic syndrome
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: means that you are falling apart metabolically, and metabolic syndrome
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: dramatically increases the risk of every one of the four horsemen.
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: So if you want a very cheap and easy thing,
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: it's because you're doctorable to all of those things right,
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: other than your wear circumference, and you can measure your
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: own blood wear circumference. But I tell you what, if
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: you have got metabolic syndrome, you need to sort your shit.
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: That is like what is less important. This is the
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: most important thing for you to sort out. And that's
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: where then if you do have that fly, that's where
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: then you absolutely have to go and see somebody like
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: you to do a deep dive to say, okay, so
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: highly I sort this stuff out.
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: And the great news is with metabolic dysfunction or insulin resistance,
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: the beginnings of your body not it's basically what you've
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: just described. There is a body that is overfed, a
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: body that is struggling to manage the calories that are
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: coming in, and so liver kicks in to try to
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: help out and say, oh, we're going to release more
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: cholesterol to try to bind. You know, insifusting, insulin goes up,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: like glucose goes up. All of this is happening because
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: the body is trying to manage being in a state
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: of overfed. But the great news is there are lots
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: of really simple little tweaks that you can make rather
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: than oh my gosh, I've got to overhaul my whole
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: diet and change my whole lifestyle. We often say to people.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: Some people think, oh, I need to lose weight to
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: get healthy, or often with these members, we say you
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: need to get healthy in order to lose weight, and
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: so things. This is where things like fasting, Like we
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: say to our members, you must feel hungry for fifteen
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: minutes twice a day below the neck. So feel that
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: hunger below the neck, not in your head or your mouth,
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: because that's a craving. That's a different You've got to
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: feel the grumble in your stomach. Don't eat breakfast until
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: you feel the grumble. There it goes grelan, the gremlin
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: hormone Greeland, feel that hunger, sit with that hunger for
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: fifteen minutes, then eat something, and then a second time
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: during the day. Because what you're doing then is you're
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: increasing your metabolic flexibility. Your body is searching for energy
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: because your blood sugar's coming down, which is fabulous, and
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: then it's hopefully switching back on lipolysis, which is fat burning.
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: Because we have so much an abundance of amazing energy
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: just sitting on our asses and our tummies. But when
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: we've got metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance, our body has
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: forgotten how to access It's the it can't switch between
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: burning glucose and fat. It's like a rusted like trying
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: to imagine trying to change the gears in a rusted
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: old coombe van. So all these sorry, yeah, we.
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: Could just jump in there about how much energy we have.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: I often tell us, though some of my lessoners have
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: heard it, but I've got a research paper of the
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: world record fast right, and it's a Scottish guy in
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: I think was nineteen seventy one, who was two hundred
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: kilos and he went into seas doc and he said, Doc,
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: I'm a bit fat. I think I need to stop
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: eating for a while. Will you supervise me? And he
- 1:10:11Speaker 1: fasted for three hundred and eighty two days?
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: Are you like fully fasted?
- 1:10:18Speaker 3: Fully fasted?
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: After? I think it was six months or a year.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: He started having a tiny drop of milk in his tea,
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: but he did not eat anything for three hundred and
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: eighty two days. He lost one.
- 1:10:30Speaker 3: Hundred and twenty kilos and he.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: Kept it off.
- 1:10:34Speaker 3: So those people will tell you that fasting is dangerous.
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: I know, well, I've just finished watching Alone. Have you
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: watched any of those series.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: I'm not a big TV fan, but that is the
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: one thing that I do like.
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: Those people lived off the odd eel for you know,
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: for ninety days or something. But I've also heard a
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: fun fact that we have enough energy on our body
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: stored his body fat to walk from Sydney to Melbourne
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: without eating.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: So they they go. Most people have got oodles of
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: energy kicking around on them. Yeah, it's and that's what
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: it was there for, and in hunted owther at times.
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: But sorry I did, I did cut you off. We
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: apologies for that.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: My good news message to those that are wanting to
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: punch you and I in the face saying yeah, yeah,
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: we know that, we know we're overfed, we know that
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: we've just got to clean up our diet. We're like, well,
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: you bloody, try to do it when you're insulin resistant
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: and grown up on ult process food. So feel free
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: to punch us in the face because I have seen
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: in my twenty six years how hard it is to
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: change habits. So my good news story is when it
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: comes to insulin resistance and reversing that and reversing metabolic syndrome,
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: it's lots of really little easy tweaks done. So don't
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: worry so much about the scales to start with, because
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: if you are agreed insulin resistant or pre diabetic diabet
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: what used to work won't work anymore, and so the
- 1:12:02Speaker 2: scales will just make you want to neck yourself because
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: it's just too depressing. So fasting twice a day, a
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: supplement called myo andossatol, which is a very safe insulin sensitizer. Again,
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: I don't you know, my ladies will go super excited
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: about taking this supplement, and I'm like, that's just a tweak.
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: It's going to make a small difference, but it's not
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: a game changer. And of course exercise, so a combination
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: of of you know, cardio strength, I mean honestly, as
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: long as you're out there moving and then cutting down
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: those carbohydrates really starting to bring those carves right down
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: will improve your insulin sensitivity. So just focus on making
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: those habit changes and reducing the If you pick one
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: part of your day that you know is a struggle
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: for you. So you know, I've got a massive sweet
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: tooth for me. I had to work on after dinner
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: because I was all having these big desserts. So just
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: pick that one part of the day that is your
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: downfall and just hyper focus on improving that, and then
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: over time the habits just slowly improve, and then you'll
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: start to see that like polus is kicking back on again.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: And look, if you are really unhealthy and you've struggled
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: and you've tried everything, then it is worth having a
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: conversation with your doctor about a ZMPIC.
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's true. Or get your most tipped for
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: three hundred and two days. I just you know, there's
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: one there's one little language change just before we finish up.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: There's one little language change that I think we should
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: do that would have a massive behavioral intervention or behavioral effect,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: and it's changing type two diabetes to carbohydrate intolerance. Ah.
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: If we just did that, yeah, it would be an
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: absolute game changer.
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: Forget about type two diabetes.
- 1:13:55Speaker 1: You are carbohydrate intolerance.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: I love that because everyone knows when they're dairy intolerant. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: gluten intolerant. I love it. Sorry, can't no no to
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: the past or I'm actually carbohydrating tolerance.
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: I have.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: I have a flare up.
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: Just around in your head. Just drive. That's the big
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: thing that worked with my mum, who was diabetic for decades,
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: and since since bringing out on board and visiting Camp Teelor,
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: she has nigh lost over thirty kilos in wit and
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: resolved her diabetes right, which is just wow.
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: You must go.
- 1:14:39Speaker 1: It's very cool. It's very cool to see she's going to.
- 1:14:42Speaker 2: Be on this planet for an extra ten years and.
- 1:14:45Speaker 1: Now doing strength training and in the gym almost eity
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: and and in the gym lifting heavy ship, which is wow.
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: That is such a good news story. You should definitely
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: write her into your books. I think that's that's amazing.
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: I love hearing stories like that.
