Explore the incredible benefits of algae with Catharine Arnston. First, you need to know that it's not a supplement, but a true superfood. This episode focuses on two remarkable algae varieties: spirulina, a vibrant blue-green algae packed with collagen, B vitamins, and essential amino acids, and chlorella, another green gem with unique properties. Discover the differences between these algae powerhouses, when and how to incorporate them into your daily routine, and the science behind their health-boosting effects.Prepare to also dive into the intricate world of enzymes, including superoxide dismutase and ficocyanin, as we explore their role in reducing angiogenesis in cancer cells and enhancing immunity against viral infections, including a certain well-known virus we've all heard about in recent years.Our discussion doesn't stop there. Dr. Stephanie and Catharine explore the myriad applications of algae, from helping children with autism to supporting the demanding lifestyles of athletes and individuals like Dr. Stephanie, a 45-year-old woman dedicated to weight training and cardio.This episode offers a deep, scientifically rich conversation that promises to captivate your inner nerd.Bio:Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae. When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking).As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, and 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient-dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the world’s most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible? Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born.Links for this episode:EnergyBits.com/better and use code BETTER for 20% off anything on the websiteSpirulina in Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Human Applications - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136577/A deep dive into Zero Hunger: the seaweed revolution - https://news.un.org/en/story/2020/11/1077212Phycocyanin: A Potential Drug for Cancer Treatment - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5687155/C-Phycocyanin exerts anti-cancer effects via the MAPK signaling pathway in MDA-MB-231 cells - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5785878/NAC, Spirulina, Other Nutraceuticals May Play Role On Coronavirus Treatment - https://scienceblog.com/514404/nac-spirulina-other-nutraceuticals-may-play-role-on-coronavirus-treatment/Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Aging Evaluation of Pigment-Protein Complex Extracted from Chlorella Pyrenoidosa - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31623220/Studies on the biosorption of heavy metals onto Chlorella vulgaris - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10934529409376043Chlorella vulgaris functional alcoholic beverage: Effect on propagation of cortical spreading depression and functional properties - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34370788/Algae Protects Mitochondria Health With Superoxide Dismutase (SOD)Algae Tablets for Brain HealthBrain Health with AlgaeCancer Free with AlgaeEpisode Overview:0:04:50 Understanding Algae: Macroalgae vs. Microalgae0:09:10 Introduction to Spirulina and Chlorella0:11:35 The Power of Vegetables and Proper Supplementation0:21:06 Mechanism of Action: Phycocyanin and Cancer Cell Destruction0:30:51 Spirulina: The Ultimate Calorie-Conscious Superfood0:41:15 Collagen and its Role in Muscle Growth0:50:41 Spirulina and Chlorella for Detox and Wellness Benefits0:53:37 Spirulina and Chlorella for Improving Brain Function in Autistic Children0:57:09 Spirulina and Chlorella as Food for Athletes, Providing Focus and Energy1:00:06 Try Taking 30 EnergyBits Before Your Next WorkoutWe’d like to thank our sponsors:LEVELSLevels helps you see how food affects your health by giving you real-time feedback on your diet using a continuous glucose monitor.

This episode is truly a thought-provoking conversation about Alzheimer's and its unique impact on women with none other than the legendary Dr. Dale Bredesen (who is making his fourth appearance on the show). Dale Bredesen, MD, received his undergraduate degree from Caltech and his medical degree from Duke University. He served as resident and chief resident in neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and as postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Professor Stanley Prusiner.

She eats protein and carbs before and after workouts and relied on supplements to get her veggies. Training stayed consistent with five days of weights and two days of cardio per week.00:09:02 - Having Fun while Being Disciplined,Dr. Stephanie shares a story about how she hired a coach to help her get in touch with her feminine side. She was given an exercise to slow down and savor a piece of chocolate, which taught her the importance of being present and attuned to her senses.00:10:27 - Boudoir Shoot and Food,Dr. Stephanie is preparing for a boudoir shoot and is trying to be mindful of her diet. She didn't have any shapewear at her wedding, but did try to drink a gallon of water each day leading up to it. She also ate wedding cake for three days after the ceremony.00:13:15 - Savoring Bliss,Dr. Stephanie shares how savoring the bliss is a learned skill for someone like her who is very driven and always striving for success. Slowing down and being present can help people attune to their senses00:14:56 - Deepening Love After MarriageDr. Stephanie shares her experience of feeling a deeper sense of commitment and love towards her husband after getting officially married.00:17:10 - Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)Dr. Stephanie discusses her views on HRT and mentions that she is not currently on it but is not against it. She emphasizes the importance of understanding lab results before deciding to take HRT.00:21:51 - Creatine SupplementationDr. Stephanie explains what creatine is and how it is used to regenerate ATP within the cell. She recommends taking 3-5 grams of creatine daily to maintain average creatine storage and suggests loading the cell by taking 20 grams per day for 6-7 days or 5 grams daily for a month to saturate muscle.00:25:48 - What is Creatine?Dr. Stephanie explains that creatine is the primary constituent of phosphocreatine, which is found in skeletal muscle.00:29:57 - Understanding Ozempic,Dr. Stephanie Estima discusses Ozempic, a medication that mimics the action of GLP one and helps to increase insulin secretion. It can improve glycemic control, reduce appetite, and make you feel fuller.00:35:40 - Estrogen Dominance and Reduced Blood Flow,Dr. Estima explains that age, lack of ovulation, body weight changes, too much exercise, pregnancy, and stress can cause a woman's period to become lighter.00:44:24 - Understanding Perimenopause,Dr. Estima shares the classic definition of perimenopause, which is the time leading up to menopause when a woman's estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate.00:50:11 - Importance of Self-Advocacy,Dr. Estima emphasizes the importance of thinking critically and advocating for oneself when it comes to healthcare decisions.00:45:48 - Menstrual Migraines and Perimenopause Symptoms,Dr. Estima discusses menstrual migraines caused by unchecked estrogen in the luteal phase, swollen and painful breasts due to low progesterone, and subtle yet significant signs of perimenopause like back pain, joint stiffness, and reduced libido.00:48:15 - Intermittent Fasting,Dr. Estima still practices intermittent fasting (IF) as a way to control calories, improve autophagy, and promote hormonal balance. However, her fasting window is gentle and lasts for 12-14 hours at most, with most fasting happening while sleeping.00:51:54 - Seed Cycling,Dr. Estima shares a neutral stance on seed cycling, acknowledging its potential benefits for some women's menstrual cycles, but also highlighting that other whole foods like oysters and Brazil nuts can also provide the same nutrients for hormonal support.00:56:23 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts,Dr. Estima emphasizes the often overlooked role of mobility and proprioception in overall fitness and movement.00:58:44 - Stability Issues during Exercise,Dr. Estima uses the example of an overhead dumbbell press to explain how stability issues in the scapula can impact exercise performance and progress.01:00:10 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts,Dr. Stephanie discusses how focusing on hip and ankle mobility before leg day has become a regular part of her workout routine.01:02:38 - Controlling the Weight,Dr. Stephanie talks about the importance of control in weightlifting. She explains that the weight should not control you, and that freezing at any point in the range of motion, such as during a squat, is a sign of good control.01:04:41 - The Importance of Mobility Workouts (Part 2),Dr. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of mobility workouts again, stating that they should be an essential part of anyone's workout routine.01:05:33 - Audience Feedback and Closing Remarks,Dr. Stephanie invites listeners to give feedback on the show and suggests that they can do so by responding to polls on Instagram.Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more money Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patients with skin issues may benefit from a functional medicine approach that considers the connection between gut health and skin issues, like hives, acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis.00:11:45 - Celiac Genetics and Gluten-Free Diets, Celiac genetics are prevalent in people of Irish descent, and eliminating gluten from the diet can alleviate hives and other skin issues. A functional medicine approach can provide a solution for patients who have seen dermatologists without any results.00:13:35 - Good and Bad Bacteria in the Gut, The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that includes a set of bad bacteria that serve a purpose and keep the system in balance. Opportunistic bacteria can flourish in environments where the diet is not optimal, leading to gut-centric and non-gut-centric issues.00:16:23 - The Gut Microbiome of Indigenous Tribes, Dr. Pedre discusses the gut microbiome of indigenous tribes and how it differs from Westerners. Indigenous tribes consume a high-fiber diet, and their gut microbiome has adapted to digest difficult-to-digest fibers. 00:20:20 - The Importance of Gut Microbiome Adaptation, Dr. Pedre stresses the importance of slowly introducing changes to the gut microbiome. A sudden change can lead to bloating and discomfort. 00:25:05 - The Gut-Airway Connection, Dr. Pedre explains how the gut microbiome is connected to upper respiratory infections. Antibiotics can disrupt the gut microbiome and immune system, leading to recurrent infections. Pregnancy can ramp up the immune system, but can also suppress certain parts to protect the baby.00:29:35 - Lipopolysaccharides and Metabolism, Dr. Pedre explains that Lipopolysaccharides (LPs), also known as endotoxins, are released by gram-negative bacteria and can be absorbed into the body. LPs levels increase after meals high in fat, especially saturated and hydrogenated fats. LPs can affect metabolism and insulin sensitivity.00:33:42 - Microbiome and Leaky Gut, Dr. Pedre explains how an unfavorable microbiome and leaky gut can lead to the absorption of lipopolysaccharides and cause many health issues, such as weight gain, muscle aches, fatigue, and depression. Keeping a food, mood and poop journal can help identify patterns and triggers.00:35:34 - Timeline for Food Sensitivities, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre discuss the importance of keeping a food journal to identify patterns of food sensitivities. They explain how sensitivities can have a threshold effect, where one exposure may be fine, but a second exposure can cause symptoms. Other factors such as stress, sleep, and food combinations can also impact sensitivities.00:39:35 - Stress and Gut Health, Dr. Pedre explains how stress can affect the gut microbiome, gut permeability, and vagal tone. High cortisol levels from stress can alter the gut ecosystem, leading to more yeast in the gut and sugar cravings. 00:43:39 - Behavioral Changes Caused by Stress, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre discuss how stress can drive behavioral changes such as cravings for sugar and comfort foods. 00:49:39 - The Power of Soil and Dirt, Dr. Pedre emphasizes the importance of soil and dirt for our microbiome. Exposure to organic soil without toxins can magnify our gut microbiome diversity, as seen in the Hadza tribe.00:55:05 - Diversity vs. Eating the Rainbow, Dr. Pedre discusses a Stanford study that compared a high fiber diet to a high fermented foods diet. The high fiber diet did not show a significant increase in microbiome diversity, while the fermented foods diet did. Diversity is the holy grail, but it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.00:59:00 - The Role of Fiber and Fermented Foods, The study found that fermented foods had a significant impact on microbiome diversity and reduced inflammation. While fiber had a smaller impact, it helped to regulate the immune system. 01:03:27 - Gut Disruptors, Dr. Pedre notes that alcohol is a significant gut disruptor. Other factors, such as stress, lack of sleep, and processed foods, can also impact gut health. A personalized approach to healing the gut is necessary, with fermented foods and fiber as cornerstones, but with consideration of individual circumstances.01:06:18 - Dairy and its impact on gut health, Dr. Pedre discusses the impact of dairy on gut health, highlighting that it can cause constipation and trigger food sensitivities due to lactose and dairy protein intolerance. 01:07:35 - Fecal matter transplant, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre discuss fecal matter transplant as a possible treatment for gut-related conditions such as Crohn's colitis and ulcerative colitis. While it is not yet approved for many indications, it has shown promise in experimental treatments for food sensitivities and autism in the microbiome community.01:11:06 - Protecting the microbiome, Dr. Estima and Dr. Pedre stress the importance of protecting the microbiome throughout life, from birth to adulthood and into old age. They discuss the negative impacts of persistent antibiotic use and emphasize the need to foster microbial diversity through diet, exposure to nature, and limiting exposure to mass agriculture.01:13:32 - Seeking microbial diversity, Dr. Pedre encourages individuals to seek microbial diversity in their gut by avoiding antibiotics as much as possible, only using them when necessary. He advises fostering microbial diversity through a healthy diet, exposure to nature, and gardening. He notes that microbial diversity is a key factor in the health of centenarians.We’d like to thank our sponsorsAthletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA  Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

He is known as one of the most influential figures in the fitness industry’s movement toward evidence-based information. His notable clients include Stone Cold Steve Austin, Derek Fisher, and Pete Sampras."If there's enough total calories in the diet, enough total carbs in the diet, and of course enough protein in the diet, then the shifting around and the positioning of carbohydrate is best left to pretty much individual preference as far as positioning it for maximizing muscle hypertrophy." - Alan AragonLinks for this episodeNutritional Peak Week and Competition Day Strategies of Competitive Natural BodybuildersEffect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey proteinThe Effects of Creatine Supplementation Combined with Resistance Training on Regional Measures of Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review with Meta-AnalysisArtificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiotaHigh-dose saccharin supplementation does not induce gut microbiota changes or glucose intolerance in healthy humans and miceEpisode Overview:00:07:17 - Carb timing for muscle growth, Carb timing is less important than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. 00:13:59 - Ketogenic diet for muscle growth, While Ketogenic dieting works for many, it's not the optimal tool for maximizing muscle mass and retention. According to elite-level natural bodybuilders, an average of 2 grams of carbohydrate per pound of body weight during prep can help maximize muscle retention while losing fat. 00:15:43 - Carb timing and lifting capacity, Carb timing has less importance than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. However, some literature suggests that lifting capacity is compromised when carbohydrates are not consumed, regardless of timing.00:16:21 - The Effects of Fasted Lifting on Performance, Lifting fasted can compromise performance, so it's recommended to have a mixed macronutrient meal with some level of carbohydrate within one to two hours prior to the lifting session.00:17:40 - The Anabolic Window, The idea that quickly absorbing protein and carbohydrates post-workout maximizes muscle protein synthesis has been debunked. Constant dosing of protein, carbohydrates, and fats throughout the day negates the need to hyper-focus on the immediate post-exercise period.00:22:17 - The Role of Carbohydrates in Maximizing Muscle Protein Synthesis, A study showed that when you have enough protein, you don't need to add carbohydrates to it to maximize muscle protein synthesis. The optimal dose for protein is between 0.4 to 0.6g/kg of body weight, which appears to maximize the short-term anabolic effect or maximize the muscle protein synthesis response.00:26:47 - The Benefits of Flexible Thinking, Training fasted vs fed depends on the goal and the population. While fasted training can lead to stronger anabolic signaling, compromising performance is a possibility. The best approach is to train when you can train, and when you can't, you can make it up later.00:32:58 - Fasting and Fat Loss, There's no net difference over a 24-hour period between training fasted and fed when it comes to fat loss.00:34:17 - Fasted vs. Fed Cardio, A study was conducted on untrained women comparing the effects of fasted and fed cardio on body composition, which revealed no significant differences in muscle preservation or fat loss between the two groups. 00:40:04 - Creatine Meta-Analysis, A meta-analysis was conducted on the effects of creatine on muscle hypertrophy and revealed a disappointing increase in muscle thickness among untrained subjects. However, the analysis showed a substantial increase in strength gains across multiple studies, even in highly trained subjects. 00:48:15 - Creatine Non-Responders, Creatine non-responders constitute about 20-30% of individuals who poorly respond to creatine due to various reasons, including high initial levels of muscle creatine saturation and differences in fiber type distribution across individuals. However, the majority of people who use creatine can expect to gain lean mass and strength. 00:52:09 - Benefits of Creatine, Creatine offers multifaceted benefits ranging from neurological health to musculoskeletal health and metabolic benefits. It can improve cognition, bone and joint health, and glycemic control.00:53:39 - The Benefits of Creatine, Creatine has been shown to help with cognitive function, joint health, lean tissue function, and even increase bone density. It's a conditionally essential compound that can be obtained through diet or supplementation. 00:56:10 - Seed Oils and Gestational Diabetes, There is speculation that Creatine could help manage gestational diabetes due to its ability to increase insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. Seed oils have been talked about as a monolithic species, but they should be considered on a case-by-case basis. 01:03:15 - Evidence-Based Nutrition, It's important to look at the evidence when it comes to nutrition and not just blindly follow internet fairy tales or appeal to nature fallacies. Vegetable oils have consistently shown better health outcomes compared to saturated fats. 01:06:20 - Appeal to Nature Fallacy, Just because something is natural or organic doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you (e.g. cancer). While there are benefits to going natural when possible, technology can enhance human quality of life in multiple domains, including food technology. 01:11:39 - Non-Nutritive Sweeteners, There are different categories of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as sucralose and saccharines. 01:12:07 - Artificial Sweeteners and Health Concerns, Artificial sweeteners are relatively harmless, and the doses necessary to achieve what they achieve are negligible. Stevia, for instance, has an array of potential therapeutic effects, whereas Saccharin has been shown to cause unfavorable changes in gut microbiome.01:19:01 - Reverse Causation and Disease Processes, Large-scale population studies that investigate the association between artificial sweeteners and heart disease, diabetes, or obesity are poorly controlled. It is much more likely that the opposite is true, with the state of having these diseases driving the consumption of artificial sweeteners to a greater degree. 01:21:08 - Convergence of Evidence, When both controlled interventions (randomized controlled trials) and observational studies (epidemiology) converge, we can confidently conclude that artificial sweeteners cause disease processes at the intermediate level and lead to actual disease endpoints. 01:23:40 - Personal Opinion, While Alan advocates for drinking plain water, he believes that consuming artificial sweeteners is a reasonable trade-off if it helps individuals reduce their sugar intake.Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty Body Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode you will uncover the pressing effects of declining fertility rates on the human population, delve into the influence of environmental factors, specifically exposure to harmful chemicals, on reproductive health, gain insights on age, egg/sperm quality, and environmental influences in fertility, grasp the effects of phthalates on male reproductive health, highlighting AGD and sperm count, and also realize the importance of increased awareness, research, and action to safeguard human health and fertility.Dr. Shanna Swan is an Environmental and Reproductive Epidemiologist. She is Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, Adjunct Professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of California San Francisco and Senior Scientist at Environmental Health Sciences. Dr. Swan's work examines the impact of environmental exposures on reproductive health and neurodevelopment. Links for this episodehttps://www.shannaswan.com/https://twitter.com/drshannaswanhttps://www.instagram.com/drshannaswan/https://www.shannaswan.com/countdownEpisode Overview00:07:32 - Population Decline, The world's fertility rate has dropped from over five children per couple to under two now, and a large proportion of the world is now below replacement. 00:12:17 - The Roller Coaster of Fertility, The declining fertility rate in many countries means that we are headed towards a maximum world population, which will decrease and never come back. 00:15:37 - Social Causes of Fertility Decline, The decline in fertility is not just due to social causes like women entering the workforce and getting educated, but also due to environmental and lifestyle factors. 00:22:28 - Environmental and Lifestyle Factors Affecting Fertility, Environmental and lifestyle factors, such as exposure to phthalates and Bisphenol A, are major contributors to the decline in fertility. 00:16:51 - The Challenges of Motherhood and Fertility, Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Shanna discuss the challenges of motherhood and fertility. The decline in egg quality and sperm quality with age is a major limiting factor in infertility, which is a concern for women who choose to have babies later in life. 00:19:57 - Decline in Male Fertility, Dr. Shanna explains that research on the declining rate of male fertility has been around for 30 years. The first study in 1992 reported that sperm count had decreased by 50% in 50 years. However, this figure was met with skepticism. 00:23:30 - Early Puberty in Girls, Dr. Stephanie brings up the phenomenon of early puberty in girls, and Dr. Shanna explains that it is a real concern. Girls are starting menstruation earlier and earlier, which is not only a risk for psychological and social challenges but also for fertility. 00:25:46 - Environmental Factors Affecting Sperm Count, Dr. Shanna discusses her study on environmental factors affecting sperm count. She found that exposure to phthalates, a chemical found in plastics, is linked to lower sperm count. Exposure to other chemicals like bis00:34:10 - Factors Affecting Sperm Count, The recruitment bias and selection bias of the men in the studies from 1940 and 1990 were analyzed. The lifestyle factors of smoking, obesity, exercise, and stress were found to be important. Chemicals that affect the reproductive system, particularly testosterone and estrogen, were also identified.00:40:16 - Plastic Increase and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, After World War II, scientists were revered, and plastic production increased rapidly. However, plastic has a large number of chemicals that can alter hormones. Phthalates are particularly concerning as they lower testosterone levels and can affect genital formation during pregnancy.00:43:45 - Non-Monotonic Dose Response and Endocrinology, Hormones often respond non-linearly to low doses of chemicals, affecting not just testosterone, but also estrogen and the immune system. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can have a significant effect, regardless of the dose.00:49:57 - Phthalate Syndrome, Phthalates can cause the phthalate syndrome, where exposure in utero in male rodents can affect genital formation and induce infertility and other health problems. Humans have phthalates in their bodies, and pregnant women are particularly at risk for exposure.00:51:44 - Development of Genitalia in Male and Female Fetuses, Dr. Swan explains how the genitals of fetuses develop under genetic regulation, and everything changes during a critical period of gestation. She highlights how testosterone contributes to the differentiation of genitalia in male fetuses and explains how insufficient testosterone exposure can undermasculinize males.00:54:27 - The Analogeneital Distance (AGD), Dr. Estima and Dr. Swan discuss the AGD and how it is an important distance that differentiates males and females in almost every mammal. They also discuss how it can be difficult to measure the AGD accurately because it is soft tissue and how standardization of the position of the legs is necessary when measuring the AGD.01:02:36 - The Phthalate Syndrome in Humans, Dr. Swan discusses how she found the phthalate syndrome in humans after researching variations in AGD, penile size, and descent of the testicles. She highlights how many papers have found other chemicals related to AGD and how she would love to see AGD become part of the standard of care.01:05:14 - Implications of AGD on Testosterone and Longevity, Dr. Swan explains how AGD has massive implications on men's capacity for testosterone, sperm production, and longevity. 01:08:09 - The Relationship between AGD and Sperm Count, Dr. Swan discusses her research on the relationship between AGD (anogenital distance) and sperm count. Her study found a direct linear relationship between the length of AGD and the number of sperm, indicating that the longer the AGD, the higher the sperm count. 01:13:27 - Phthalate Syndrome and Exposure, Dr. Swan explains phthalate syndrome, a condition assigned at birth that affects the male reproductive system and is caused by exposure to phthalates. She discusses the common sources of phthalates, such as plastic tubing, personal care products, and food packaging. 01:15:24 - NICU Exposure and Other Hormonal Effects, Dr. Swan highlights the dangers of exposure to phthalates and other hormone-disrupting chemicals in the NICU, where preemies are especially vulnerable. She also notes that these chemicals can affect other hormonal systems in the body, such as lung development, brain development, and blood pressure. 01:20:28 - BPA-Free Products and Other Chemicals, Dr. Swan addresses the issue of manufacturers substituting BPA-free products with similar chemicals that have the same effects. She also mentions other chemicals that disrupt hormones, such as PFAS chemicals in Teflon and sunscreen. 01:26:10 - Gender Dysphoria and Environmental Chemicals, Dr. Swan explores the relationship between gender dysphoria and exposure to environmental chemicals. She acknowledges the complexity of the topic and emphasizes the need for further research before drawing conclusions.We’d like to thank our sponsorsAthletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA  Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

She discusses the ideal nap duration00:15:00 - Understanding the Effects of Chronic Low-grade Inflammation on Energy Production, Chronic low-grade inflammation can still produce energy, but it is less efficient, resulting in reduced ATP and glucose availability. 00:19:12 - Melatonin and Its Applications in Sleep, Melatonin is crucial in sleep onset and reducing sleep efficiency. 00:25:21 - Melatonin Dosage and Quality Control, Melatonin supplements vary in dosage and quality control, with some brands not accurately reflecting the dosage on the label. 00:29:36 - Herbitonin as Alternative Melatonin Supplement, Herbitonin is a slow-release capsule that closely mimics the amount of melatonin humans produce. It is an alternative to traditional melatonin supplements that often contain supra-physiological levels of melatonin. 00:29:55 - Understanding Hormones and Sleep, The importance of hormones in regulating sleep. 00:31:56 - Women's Reproductive Hormones, Dr. Stephanie explains how women's reproductive hormones are different from men's and the importance of the circadian production of hormones. 00:33:29 - Progesterone and Sleep, The episode delves into the role of progesterone in sleep, highlighting its hypnotic effect and respiratory stimulant properties.00:36:49 - Estrogen and Anxiety, The relationship between estrogen and anxiety, pointing out that declining estrogen levels during perimenopause and menopause can lead to an increase in fear and anxiety at night. 00:41:05 - Growth Hormone and Sleep, The importance of growth hormone in regulating sleep and explains how growth hormone levels decline with age and various environmental stressors. 00:44:51 - Signs of Growth Hormone Deficiency, Symptoms of growth hormone deficiency include decreased lean body mass, increased abdominal fat, insulin resistance, hypertension, high triglycerides, anxiety, depression, decreased bone density, and changes in physical appearance. 00:49:45 - Estrogen and Sleep, Estrogen plays a role in the amount of time spent in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and affects serotonin levels. 00:55:00 - Vasopressin and Urination, Vasopressin is a hormone that helps regulate urine flow during sleep. 00:57:47 - Tips for Better Sleep, To improve sleep quality, keep a journal of liquid and food intake and track transit time. Limit alcohol and caffeine intake, elevate legs before bed, and pee right before sleep. 00:48:09 - Women and Growth Hormone, Women release growth hormone pulses differently than men and can achieve peak growth hormone secretion faster with resistance training or core temperature manipulation.00:59:51 - Effects of Alcohol on Sleep, Alcohol inhibits vasopressin, leading to increased urination and fragmented sleep. It also negatively impacts vitals.01:02:59 - Sleep Hygiene Tips, Regularity is key, especially waking up at the same time every day.

Our guest, Dr. Michael J. Breus, is a clinical psychologist with more than two decades of experience in the sleep field. As a sleep expert, Dr. Breus advises women going through perimenopause and menopause to establish a regular, consistent sleep schedule to manage the hormonal shifts associated with these transitions. He also recommends deep breathing, hydration, and getting sunlight. "While there is no guidebook for managing menopausal sleep issues, these strategies can help to mitigate some of the symptoms associated with this transition," he says.Dr. Breus stresses the importance of maintaining consistent sleep routines and creating a comfortable sleep environment. He also recommends moderate exercise, avoiding alcohol consumption, and using technology such as temperature-regulating pads. While discipline in sleep routine is crucial, he stresses the importance of acceptance and relaxation, rather than trying to think oneself to sleep or worrying about lack of sleep.Links for this episode:https://thesleepdoctor.com/https://www.facebook.com/thesleepdoctor/https://twitter.com/thesleepdoctor/https://www.instagram.com/thesleepdoctor/https://www.tiktok.com/@thesleepdoctorSleep and Savings: Want to grab my absolute fave supplement for better sleep at 15% off?  Click here - https://glnk.io/lq6q/4 - to purchase Mellö Magnesium.

Today's episode is a throwback to the Holidays of 2021, where if you were listening to the Better Show, we hope you were able to enact Dr. Stephanie Estima's advice for maintaining your diet goals. If you've ever gone on a diet and failed (who hasn't), it's not because of your body. It's because of your mind. Dr. Stephanie reveals the one mind-blowing neurological principle that can make or break your diet success.

This week on the Better show we bring back the AMA - Ask Me Anything with Dr. Stephanie Estima. We went to instagram and had a flood of questions, and the majority of them revolved around Female Muscle Building. We begin the episode by breaking the myth of Creatine especially for women’s use of it. We then discuss the best ways women can gain muscle, as we aren’t the same as our male counterparts. The age-old question that is asked of Dr. Steph, “Through training and nutrition, is there a way to gain muscle, but still limit fat gain?” Well listen in to hear the answer. Dr. Estima tells us how she feels about Amino Acids, and other ways to boost performance for training. We push into the next discussion around training Fasted, or training Fed, as some people may prefer fasted over fed workouts. We have a question about glucose levels rising during workouts and if it’s normal to see that, and finishing off the episode with Dr. Stephanie’s favourite protein powder. We are looking forward to our next AMA so be sure to follow Dr. Stephanie Estima on instagram to get the opportunity to contribute to the next one! Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:00 Female Physique4:30 Creatine for Women20:30 Best Method to Gain Muscle for Women38:30 Strategy to Build Muscle while Limiting Fat Gain55:00 Amino Acids and Alternatives to Boost Performance58:30 Fasted or Fed Workouts1:00:30 Is it Normal to get a Glucose Spike during Fasted Exercise?1:04:20 My Favourite Protein Powder1:05:50 Conclusion Phil Maffetone Episode Link: https://youtu.be/qHKi0M3fPqQ My Favourite Protein: Use code "DR.ESTIMA10" for 10% offhttps://www.qnihealth.com/dr-stephanie-estimaMy Amazon Store:https://www.amazon.com/shop/dr.stephanie.estima?ref=prof_v_infl Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's second solo episode on Fasting for Women. Dr. Stephanie thought she would share part of her presentation that she showed at Oxford University, who are currently working in the Oxford Longevity Project. Today’s episode is a continuation from PT1 which covered some of the differentials we have to consider when fasting as a woman. We continue our discussion on fasting for women with PCOS, what the symptoms are and what tweaks we can make to better your well-being. If you are an Estrogen Dominant woman, be sure to listen to this as your typical fasting instructional might be leading you in the wrong direction and you should consider a caloric-fast…and no that is not an oxymoron. Next Dr. Stephanie Estima educates us about chronic inflammation and stress, and how the majority of all humans have these symptoms. We discuss how fasting can benefit and sometimes rectify these symptoms like weight loss resistance, lack of energy, insomnia and difficulties staying asleep. The next topic is Leptin, the good old hormone that signals to your brain that you are full and to stop eating. Fasting can be more difficult for women compared to men, as a baseline women have 3-4 times more leptin than their male counterparts. We round out this episode of the Better show by talking about the negative effects of fasting on the thyroid. This impacts women that have been fasting for a long time, so be sure to test and look out for your thyroid as you incorporate fasting into your lifestyle long term, We hope this episode helped shed some light on fasting as a woman, be sure to go back and check out our previous episode on the topic, and we hope to catch you next week for our AMA! Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:00 PCOS12:30 Fasting with PCOS20:45 Fasting with Estrogen Dominance29:00 Chronic Inflammation & Stress33:50 Leptin40:20 Fasting’s Impact on the Thyroid50:00 Conclusion Link to Part 1 - Why Fasting for Women is Different with Dr. Stephanie Estimahttps://youtu.be/dREHxD1Mrdo Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr. Stephanie Estima's speech at Changemaker 2022. Dr. Stephanie Estima has over 19 years in practice, she’s a best selling author, and ofcourse your host of the Better Show on this here channel. We begin by talking about the impact of dopamine and serotonin on our neurophysiology when we win. How and why it feels great to win, and how our brain remembers that joyous feeling, pushing us to win again. Dr. Stephanie explains the difference in longevity between winning and just missing out on winning by studies on Olympians, high level athletes, and on Nobel Peace Prize winners and runner ups life spans. We dive back into dopamine and how testosterone responds in accordance with its level. Winners and losers have different levels of testosterone, winning will set you up towards neurological momentum, and losing can send you into a neurological tail spin respectively. We continue with implementable strategies on how to increase your levels of dopamine, including chocolate, nicotine, the pursuit of sex, and exercise. Additionally when you think about something that is pleasurable to you, your brain will release dopamine as well as when you eventually engage in said activity. The dopamine and oxytocin increase we get when we are a part of a community is something we as a human species need and is great for your brain and longevity. Next we hear the pitfalls we can fall into by creating a reward system based around a future outcome, and how time seems to slow when we pursue that and will require a lot more dopamine to attain. We finish off this speech by discussing the mindset shift way from the outcome of winning and towards putting forth 100% effort. This change in approach can be drastically different and your brain will release dopamine during the process and not just at the end of the race. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction1:40 What it feels like to Win5:00 Winning’s Impact on Longevity6:30 Dopamine & Testosterone10:00 Ways to Increase your Dopamine Levels17:00 Dopamine’s Impact on Time19:00 Effort Reinforcement22:00 Conclusion Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

The Better Show welcomes Danielle Laporte, a best selling author, business strategist and poet to chat with us about how to live our lives through love and forgiveness. We begin our podcast discussing the hyper polarization in society post-pandemic, the polarization in our relationships, and the ego within that is coming to the surface. How holding onto the hate and frustration is unhealthy, and will negatively impact others around you whom you may hold dear. Learning to forgive, even if it doesn’t come naturally to you, may be the way forward. Danielle touches on embracing your inner child not in the traditional way, as well and letting the virtue signallers virtue signal. We wrap up this in depth discussion by chatting about Religion and Spirituality, and how you can pick up Danielle’s new book “ How to Be Loving: As Your Heart Is Breaking Open and Our World Is Waking Up”.

The Better Show welcomes Diana Rodgers, a registered dietitian and co-author of the wildly popular book “Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet”. Diana is a real food nutritionist and a sustainability advocate in Boston, hosts a podcast called “The Sustainable Dish Podcast” and runs her own clinical nutrition practice. We begin the episode by talking about the stigma around meat consumption and what and why our governments have such influence on eating red meat. We discuss the american diet and a brief history of Kellogg’s impact on society at the beginning of it’s breakfast cereal reign in the food industry. Diana explains the misconceptions around methane creation from livestock compared to other industries and it’s impact on greenhouse gasses. How the myriad of plant based products actually use fossil fuels to be created, and how us humans with our diet and nutrition can alter our carbon footprint. Perceptions of what healthy looks like, pushing veganism in public schools and the virtue signaling being put on display on the daily is doing the planet a disservice. We weigh the balance of animal death, our own death as humans, and what animals we save compared to others. We finish today’s episode with Diana diving deeper into alternative protein sources, and how they may benefit us as humans, or perhaps leaving us dissatisfied by crickets and insect protein. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:00 Governmental Meat Reduction7:00 Reality of Raising Vegan Children10:00 Optics of Meat16:30 Protein Leverage Hypothesis20:00 American Diet & Kellogg28:20 Carbon Emissions40:00 Obesity & Longevity50:00 Society’s View on Death of Animals57:00 Alternative Protein Sources1:05:30 Conclusion Sign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

Dr. Mindy Pelz is becoming a fan favourite here on the Better show! She has been a guest a few times and we have a blast everytime we chat with her, plus some giggles. Mindy has just released her new book “Fast Like a Girl”, and how the female side of fasting is pretty different from the much documented male side of fasting. We talk about fasting and diet culture for teens, and how the menstrual cycle may be more complicated for our daughters in their later teens. We chat about navigating the topic of the birth control pill as a parent, and what the implications of that. We do an overview of the arch of a woman’s menstrual cycle over her life and how we can fast differently during different parts of it. Mindy weighs into the benefits of fasting for women, how it differs from the traditional and male approaches. We always have a ton of fun when Mindy comes on the show, so we hope you enjoy! Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction2:15 Fast like a Girl6:00 The Power of Estrogen15:30 Teenage Girls & the Pill25:00 Progesterone & Insulin Resistance31:30 Chocolate & Magnesium34:00 Knowing Your Body40:00 Toxicity Dumps45:00 Fasting on your Period57:00 The Three P’s1:01:00 Testosterone1:10:00 Post Menopausal Testosterone Impacts1:17:30 ConclusionSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

We start off our conversation with a brief overview of mushrooms, and quickly dive into Adaptogens and Cordyceps, when and how to use them and what benefits they may have to your lifestyle & fitness routines. We discuss the thoughts around stress, and how certain fungi, food such as spices and other uncomfortable experiences can have a positive effect on the body and mind. We briefly touch on supplementation for sexual function before getting an education on Ginseng and it’s many beneficial use cases. We round out the episode with an awesome link between Santa Claus and Psychedelic mushrooms and Tero’s advice around the use of Psilocybin in today’s society. Episode Overview: 0:00 Introduction3:15 Mushrooms & Humans10:00 Mushroom Species14:00 Adaptogens & Cordycep Use30:30 Adaptogen Use Pre & Post Exercise36:00 Immunity46:30 Benefits of Stressors52:00 Adaptogens for Sexual Function55:00 Ginseng Types1:00:00 Tero’s Advice for Supplementing Adaptogens1:04:00 Santa Claus & Psychedelic Mushrooms1:19:00 Conclusion Four Sigmatic -Coffee, Protein, and more that support mental wellness. https://foursigmatic.sjv.io/drstephanieSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS - for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?

This week we welcome Kashif Kahn to the Better Show to talk about Genetics. Kashif is the CEO of The DNA Company, and we were able to speak in depth with him about our pre-determinants that will impact many aspects of our lives. We began talking about DNA reports, why copy variants are super important in gene reporting. Clinicians listen up because we spoke about androgens and hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. We dove deep into Methylation, and more specifically the COMT gene and it’s role in methylation and how it impacts a person’s personality and their aversion to risk. We had a very nuanced discussion about Autism, and the ability to detoxify adjuvants in vaccines and the environment as a predisposition for someone being exposed to those toxicants. We rounded out the conversation talking about fat and carbohydrates and how much of a role our genetic makeup plays in how we process them. We also touch on EQ and IQ, and just an overall interesting conversation if you are a parent or family member that may be be interested in our genetic makeup. Thank you Kashif for being our guest and we cannot wait until the next one!Are you A Healthcare Practitioner?

The Better show welcomes Michael Brandt to the show this week! Michael is the co-founder and CEO of HVMN, a triathlete and marathoner. A former Stanford grad in computer science and design he became a product manager at Google, then went onto being an Adjunct Professor at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Today we are talking all about Ketones. We explore the role of ketones and its effect on the brain as we age. We chat about the benefits of ketones as an appetite suppressor, how it can help recover post workout and the ketogenic diet. We talk about exogenous ketones being used without being on the ketogenic diet, and if it’s still effective. Michael explains the difference between salts and esters, and how HVMN has evolved to get even better at producing awesome products for those in the bio-hacking sphere.

They do a deep dive on her most recent study and it’s conclusions. They talk about the scientific race towards immortality, funded by billionaire tech giants and large governing bodies. You’ll learn how your genetics can be influenced by your previous generations, and how you can change the direction of your genes. Lifestyle.

Today we speak to Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and world-renowned expert on fasting.  We discuss his book, The Cancer Code, a departure from traditional medical approaches which view cancer as a series of genetic mutations, or unregulated growth.  We aim to answer the question What Exactly Is Cancer? Why does it occur in every cell of the body and how is it found in all mammals, and species other than our own?  We explore the shortcomings of the somatic mutation theory and present a new evolutionary paradigm for cancer - that it is a return to an earlier form of cells.  We explore the differences between multicellular organisms and unicellular organisms and the hallmarks that cancer shares with each.  We discuss the Warburg effect and cancer’s seemingly bizarre preference for glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen.  We also explore how lactic acid production may lend an evolutionary advantage to the progression of cancer. We overlay genetic mutations with environmental contributions- the seed (genetic) and the soil (environment) as an explanation for how cancer can grab hold and become metastatic.  We finish talking about solutions we can all use through dietary modifications including fasting, improving glucose control, and insulin sensitivity.  Share this episode far and wide for anyone you think will benefit from this potentially life-saving information.  Loving the show?
