Tune in to understand your body better and how to fuel it correctly for longevity, wellbeing and optimum performance.
About the guest:
Professor Tim Noakes is an emeritus Professor at the University of Cape Town and the Chairman of The Noakes Foundation. The Noakes Foundation is a Non-Profit Corporation founded for the public benefit which aims to advance medical science’s understanding of the benefits of a low-carb high-fat (LCHF) diet by providing evidence-based information on optimum nutrition. He has authored several books like The Real Meal Revolution, Raising Superheroes, Lore of Nutrition, Diabetes Unpacked, Superfood for Super children and Waterlogged to name a few. He has also been rated an A1 scientist by the National Research Foundation of South Africa for a second five-year term. He has a passion for running and is still active, running half marathons when he can. In 2002, Prof Noakes was awarded the International Cannes Grand Prix Award for Research in Medicine and Water for his work on exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH). This work is considered one of the 40 most important “persons or events'' in the sport of running in the past four decades. In 2008, he was elected as an Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine (UK). In 2015 he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Sports and Exercise Medicine, Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Research Foundation for his contribution to sports science research in the year 2012. His most recent work is the foundation that he has developed 'The Nutrition Network', which is a certification and training program for doctors who want to prescribe a high-fat, low-carb diet to their patients. -

Our diets have changed drastically since the time of our ancestors. This change in diet has been the harbinger of various lifestyle disorders which has deteriorated the health status of the current population. Tune in to understand how to get back to a daily diet for optimum health and how the Proper Human Diet or PHD can help achieve your longevity goals.
About Ken Berry:
Dr Ken D Berry is a family physician in Camden, Tennessee and is affiliated with Henry County Medical Center. He is also a Board Certified Family Physician and Fellow in The American Academy of Family Physicians. He is the author of the bestseller “Lies My Doctor Told Me” which exposes myths and misleading health advice from well-meaning doctors, such as avoiding fat. The way Dr. Berry’s using the term “lies”, it’s not about consciously telling untruths. It’s about spreading myths about important things that doctors should be better informed about. He dealt with obesity and insulin resistance via dietary changes and following a ketogenic diet. Dr Berry has been in practice since the past 20 years. -

About the episode:
We are only 1% human. The remaining 99% is made up of the microbes that inhabit us. The functions and roles of these microbes go above and beyond just regulating and keeping the gut healthy. This episode talks about the need to keep a healthy microbial balance and how it helps in long term and short term maintenance of health.

He is a world-renowned gastroenterologist and neuroscientist with 30 years of experience. His main area of research is studying how the relationship between the digestive system and the nervous system plays out in health and disease. He is currently investigating the sex differences in brain-gut interactions; pelvic pain syndrome; the effects of cognitive-behavioural therapy on brain signatures in IBS; brain-gut microbiome interactions in inflammatory and functional GI disorders. He has also authored four books - The Mind-Gut Connection: How the Hidden Conversation Within Our Bodies Impacts Our Mood, Our Choices, and Our Overall Health; The Gut-Immune Connection: How Understanding the Connection Between Food and Immunity Can Help Us Regain Our Health; Functional Pain syndromes: Presentation and Pathophysiology; The Gut-Immune Connection: How Understanding Why we are Sick can Help us Regain our Health.

How can technology help you track real time data about your health and wellbeing? And why should you track anyway? In this episode, Michael Snyder talks about how tracking can help you gain deeper understanding of what is going on in your body at a physiological level. Often, illnesses begin developing in our bodies quietly, before any symptoms begin to show up. Snyder’s research shows that by tracking on a regular basis, we can pre-empt diseases. Health data collection using wearable tech can help us take a proactive approach toward prevention of disease. And like they say, prevention is better than cure.
About Michael Snyder:
Michael Snyder is a pioneer in the field of functional genomics and proteomics, and one of the major participants of the ENCODE project. Snyder Lab was the first to perform a large-scale functional genomics project in any organism and has developed many technologies in genomics and proteomics. These include the development of proteome chips, high resolution tiling arrays for the entire human genome, paired end sequencing for mapping of structural variation in eukaryotes, de novo genome sequencing of genomes using high throughput technologies and RNA-Seq. He has combined different "omics" technologies to perform the first longitudinal detailed integrative personal omics profile (iPOP) of a person and used this to assess disease risk and monitor disease states for personalized medicine. He is also the author of the book: 'Genomics and Personalized Medicine: What Everyone Needs to Know' and the cofounder of Personalis, SensOmics, Qbio, January AI, Filtricine, Mirvie, Protos, Protometrix and Affomix. Michael Snyder, PhD, of Stanford University is the recipient of the 2019 Genetics Society of America (GSA) George W. Beadle Award for developing and disseminating widely-used technology for the simultaneous analysis of thousands of genes, RNA molecules, and proteins. Currently he is a Professor in the Department of Genetics, Stanford University School of Medicine and Director at Stanford Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine. -

Is inflammation bad for you? Does soil quality change nutrient value? How does diet impact brain function?
Find out the answers to these and more in this episode with Dr. Bonnie Kaplan. Kaplan is the author of Better Brain. In her work, she focuses on understanding "nutrition above the neck". In this conversation, she takes a deep dive into the relationship between diet and mental health. You'll definitely have some food for thought after listening to this!
About bonnie:
Dr Bonnie J Kaplan is a research psychologist and semi-retired Professor in the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine. For years, she studied developmental disorders in children, specialising in ADHD and reading disabilities. It led to her work on the role of nutrition in mental illness and brain development. In her book - “The Better Brain”, she talks about how the search for the cure of mental health issues does not lie in medicines, but nutrition. It's about managing stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD using nutritional interventions. Kaplan has championed micronutrient research for well over a decade (including daily essential nutrients). She studies nutrition from two perspectives - how nutrients affect brain development and how they can be used to manage mental health symptoms. -

In this episode, Dr. Robert Lustig talks about his experiences as an endocrinologist and how much medical science needs to change to not only accommodate the ever-evolving etiology of diseases but also to manage, identify and treat them in the correct way. He talks extensively about how fructose affects the body in ways similar to alcohol. He also discusses the ways insulin affects the body - from hunger, to growth, to metabolic diseases. He also discusses his book, Metabolical, which delves into how to eat to live longer, and how to identify the correct signs and symptoms of longevity and better performance.
