  • In this episode, we dive deep into the science of muscle health with Dr. Chris Meletis, exploring why maintaining muscle mass is critical as we age and how MYOS MD's revolutionary supplement, Fortetropin, can play a pivotal role in combating muscle loss.

    Key Topics Covered:

    The Importance of Muscle for Longevity:

    Muscles act as the currency of longevity, influencing metabolism, physical functionality, myokine production, hormone balance, and overall musculoskeletal health. After age 40, muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates, with lean body mass decreasing by 1-2% annually and strength declining 1.5-5% per year. This impacts mobility, independence, and systemic health.

    Understanding Myostatin and Its Role:

    Myostatin is a natural protein that inhibits muscle growth, preventing excess muscle accumulation. While beneficial in early development, elevated myostatin levels with age, injury, or illness can exacerbate muscle wasting and hinder recovery.

    How MYOS MD's Fortetropin Helps:

    Fortetropin, derived from fertilized chicken egg yolk, is clinically proven to lower myostatin levels and support muscle protein synthesis. Benefits include: Increased muscle mass and strength. Reduced muscle breakdown. Enhanced recovery after injury or surgery. Clinical trials show an 18% increase in protein synthesis in older adults after just 21 days of supplementation without changes to diet or exercise.

    Applications of Fortetropin:

    Protecting lean body mass during weight loss, especially with GLP-1 treatments or bariatric surgery. Supporting recovery from injuries or surgeries where muscle atrophy is a concern. Enhancing physical performance for athletes and active individuals.

    Practical Insights and Dosing:

    Typical starting dose: 6.6 grams per day. Easy to incorporate into daily routines—mix with shakes, yogurt, or water. Pair with amino acids, CoQ10, and a protein-rich diet for optimal results.

    The Bigger Picture:

    Dr. Meletis explains how muscle health impacts metabolic function, bone density, and overall aging. Strategies to combat sarcopenia include resistance training, balanced nutrition, and innovative interventions like Fortetropin.

  • In this fascinating episode, we're joined by Dr. Dayan Goodenowe, a visionary neuroscientist and founder of Prodrome Sciences, to explore the groundbreaking potential of plasmalogens in restoring health and optimizing longevity. Dr. Goodenowe's work is transforming how we approach chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, multiple sclerosis (MS), long COVID, and cardiovascular issues. We discuss the role of plasmalogens, Prodrome Sciences' advanced diagnostic tools, and how his Restorative Health Centre is making these innovations accessible for proactive health management.

    Episode Highlights

    1. What Are Plasmalogens, and Why Are They Essential?
    Dr. Goodenowe explains the critical role of plasmalogens, unique lipids that maintain cell membrane integrity, support the immune system, and regulate oxidative stress. These lipids, particularly abundant in the brain and heart, are essential for neuron function, immune resilience, and cardiovascular health. Research shows that low levels of plasmalogens are linked to neurodegenerative diseases, immune dysfunction, and other chronic conditions, positioning plasmalogens as a key factor in preventive and restorative health.

    2. Prodrome Scan: Personalized Health Insights Through Plasmalogen Measurement
    The Prodrome Scan, a pioneering health assessment tool developed by Dr. Goodenowe, measures plasmalogen levels to detect potential deficiencies early on. This scan provides practitioners and individuals with insights into the body's biochemical state, allowing them to address risks for conditions like cognitive decline, heart disease, and immune system issues. By identifying these risks ahead of time, the Prodrome Scan empowers users to take proactive steps to preserve health and delay or prevent disease onset.

    3. How Plasmalogens Impact Neurodegenerative Conditions
    In neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, plasmalogen levels are typically depleted. Dr. Goodenowe explains how supplementing with plasmalogen precursors can protect neuron membranes, reduce oxidative damage, and improve brain function, potentially slowing or reversing disease progression. His products, Prodrome Glia (Omega-9) and Prodrome Neuro (Omega-3), are designed to target both glial cells and neurons, offering holistic support for cognitive and neurological resilience.

    4. Advanced Imaging and Diagnosis at the Restorative Health Centre
    Dr. Goodenowe's Restorative Health Centre takes health assessment and intervention to a new level by offering advanced MRI imaging, which includes proprietary scans for brain health. This cutting-edge imaging allows for detailed visualization of brain structures, which, combined with plasmalogen measurements, provides unparalleled insights into brain health and early indicators of neurodegenerative conditions. By integrating these advanced diagnostic tools, the centre allows for early, precise intervention, tailored to each person's needs.

    5. Training Practitioners in Restorative Medicine
    Dr. Goodenowe's work goes beyond patient care; he is dedicated to educating healthcare practitioners on the science of plasmalogens and restorative health. Prodrome Sciences offers an in-depth training program for practitioners to understand, interpret, and apply the Prodrome Scan and other tools in clinical practice. By training practitioners, Dr. Goodenowe is expanding the reach of this groundbreaking science, equipping professionals with knowledge and tools to better serve their patients with targeted, science-backed interventions.

    6. Applications Beyond Brain Health:
    Cancer, Autism, Long COVID,
    Dr. Goodenowe discusses the broader applications of plasmalogens beyond brain health, including in conditions like autism, where they support neural connectivity, and long COVID, where they strengthen immune function and resilience. Plasmalogens have anti-inflammatory properties that can aid recovery from chronic viral infections and help support the immune system in its defense against future challenges. He also discusses plasmalogens in cancer.

    7. Cardiovascular Benefits of Plasmalogens
    In addition to neurological and immune health, plasmalogens play a protective role in cardiovascular health. Plasmalogen supplementation supports heart cell function, improves lipid metabolism, and helps maintain the integrity of arterial walls, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events. Dr. Goodenowe explains how Prodrome Glia's Omega-9 plasmalogens can be especially beneficial for heart health.

    8. Phosphatidylcholine and Mitochondrial Support for Enhanced Cellular Health
    Dr. Goodenowe emphasizes the importance of phosphatidylcholine and mitochondrial health as complementary strategies for cellular resilience. Phosphatidylcholine strengthens cell membranes, while mitochondrial support through targeted nutrients enhances energy production, reducing cellular stress and aging markers.

    9. How Plasmalogens Fit Into the Larger Picture of Restorative Health
    Throughout the interview, Dr. Goodenowe illustrates a unique perspective on health by focusing on restoration rather than simply managing symptoms. By measuring biomarkers like plasmalogens, we can intervene before symptoms manifest, thereby preventing the onset of chronic diseases and supporting longevity.

    Key Takeaways:
    Plasmalogens - are essential for cellular and neurological health, with depletion linked to many chronic conditions.
    Prodrome Scan - is a groundbreaking tool that assesses plasmalogen levels, enabling early intervention.
    Restorative Health Centre - offers advanced MRI imaging and personalized diagnostics for comprehensive health assessment.
    Prodrome Glia and Prodrome Neuro - supplements provide tailored plasmalogen support for glial and neuronal health.
    Dr. Goodenowe's practitioner training program brings the science of plasmalogens to a wider audience, equipping clinicians to improve patient outcomes.

    Dr. Goodenowe is a PhD neuroscientist, biochemist, synthetic organic chemist, inventor, and clinical research expert. In 1999, he invented and patented a revolutionary ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry technology that, for the first time in history, made it possible to comprehensively monitor human biochemistry.

    Using this advanced technology, Dr. Goodenowe analyzed blood samples from tens of thousands of persons of all ages, of all races, and from multiple countries. The biochemistry of healthy persons was compared to persons suffering from disease. A diverse range of over 20 diseases from autism to dementia, and from colon cancer to heart disease was studied. The biochemistry of young versus old, and all-cause mortality was studied. This research led to his discovery that early mortality and each human disease has a biochemical prodrome.

    These discoveries led to an extensive patent portfolio of diagnostic tests for the early detection and screening of diseases such as specific cancers (colon, pancreatic, ovarian, breast, lung, prostate, and many more), autism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, ALS, Alzheimer's, dementia, bipolar disease, schizophrenia, unipolar depression, cardiovascular disease, and others. Dr. Goodenowe created the ProdromeSCAN™ blood test which measures all of the key prodrome biomarkers and offers advanced laboratory test interpretation training for health practitioners.

    They discuss the role of liposomal delivery in enhancing peptide absorption, the significance of creatine and guanidinoacetic acid for brain health, and the intricate nature of methylation.

    They also talk about liver health, detoxification pathways, binders, mold toxicity, the important of having strong barrier function in the gut and the blood brain barrier and cutting edge ingredients and molecules and peptides like:

    dihexa

    selank

    bpc-157

    TB500 fragments

    p21

    tudca

    binders

    globe artichoke

    NACET

    Guanoacetic acid

    Larozotike

    tribuytrin

  • In this weeks episode of "Pushing the Limits" , Dr. David Furman, Director of the 1000 immunomes project, the world's largest longitudinal population-based study of immunology and aging at Stanford University and Associate Professor at the Buck Institute for Aging, Founder of Edifice Health and Cosmica Biosciences, discusses his extensive research in immunology, particularly focusing on the 1000 Immunomes Project, which aims to understand the immune system's role in aging.
    He emphasizes the importance of studying human biology over traditional animal models and introduces the concept of the Inflammation Age Clock as a new biomarker for aging. The discussion also covers the implications of systemic chronic inflammation in aging, the role of nutrition, and the potential for interventions to improve health span. Additionally, Dr. Furman shares insights into his work with NASA on accelerated aging in astronauts, highlighting the broader applications of his research in combating age-related diseases. Takeaways: Dr. Furman aims to have a massive impact on human health. The immune system plays a crucial role in aging. Human studies provide better insights than animal models. The Inflammation Age Clock is a new biomarker for aging. Chronic inflammation is a key factor in age-related diseases. Nutrition significantly affects inflammation and aging. Reliable biomarkers are needed for effective aging interventions. NASA's research on astronauts reveals accelerated aging in space. The convergence of technologies is revolutionizing health research. Future research will focus on protecting astronauts and advancing aging studies. Titles:
    System Chronic Inflammation: The Hidden Driver of Aging
    Nutrition and Inflammation: Key Factors in Health span About the 1000 immunomes Project: The Stanford 1000 Immunomes Project (KIP) is a collaborative ongoing study at Stanford University that aims to define the biological basis of aging and disease using state-of-the-art 'omics' platforms and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) methods.

    The main focus of 1KIP is to establish biomarkers for healthy versus sub-functional immune systems. They do this by identifying the interactions between genetic and environmental factors, which contribute to the observed heterogeneity of biological responses in human beings. To this end, 1000 individuals of different age groups (9-96 years old) were recruited between 2007-2017. Their blood samples were screened using multiple state-of-the-art technologies at a single facility, the Human Immune Monitoring Center (HIMC) to measure circulating proteins, cell types, cellular functions, whole-genome blood gene expression and subjects' haplotypes using deep sequencing technologies.

    The 1KIP dataset has enabled us for the first time to identify reliable biomarkers of aging and disease in a longitudinal population-based study of immunology and aging. 1KIP provides reference values for thousands of immune variables and identifies clusters of individuals sharing similar health versus disease immune profiles.

  • In this insightful episode, we are joined by Dr. Mizyl Damayo, a holistic psychiatrist and founder of **Paradise Behavioral Health. Dr. Damayo specializes in precision psychiatry, an approach that goes beyond traditional psychiatric treatments to address the underlying causes of mental health disorders. She combines modern science with integrative, holistic therapies to deliver customized care tailored to each patient's unique needs.

    Key Topics Covered:
    * Precision Psychiatry: - What it is and why it's revolutionizing mental health treatment. *Nutrient Deficiencies and Toxicities: - How imbalances in essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients can contribute to mental health issues, and how correcting these imbalances leads to improved brain function. *Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): The critical role hormones play in mood regulation, anxiety, and depression, and why balancing hormones is essential for mental wellness. *Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): - A deep dive into how HBOT supports brain function, helps repair neural damage, and promotes overall mental clarity and emotional balance. *Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): - How TMS is offering new hope for treatment-resistant depression by using magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions involved in mood regulation. *The Limitations of Traditional Drug Therapy: - Why relying solely on medications to treat psychiatric conditions often fails to address the root causes of mental health issues, leading to incomplete or temporary relief.
    Ailments Dr. Damayo Treats:
    Dr. Damayo works with a wide range of psychiatric and neurological conditions, including:
    Depression** (including treatment-resistant depression) Anxiety disorders Bipolar disorder Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Chronic fatigue and brain fog Cognitive decline and memory issues
    Her precision psychiatry approach focuses on identifying the root causes of these disorders rather than just managing symptoms with medications. By uncovering nutrient deficiencies, toxicities (such as heavy metals), hormonal imbalances, and even neural damage, Dr. Damayo's approach offers a **whole-person** treatment plan that leads to more sustained mental and physical health.

    Why the Traditional Drug Approach Isn't Enough:
    For decades, the standard treatment for mental health disorders has been primarily **pharmaceutical drugs**. While these medications can provide symptom relief, they often fail to address the underlying causes of mental health conditions. Patients may experience side effects, dependence, or only partial relief. Dr. Damayo believes that while drugs can be part of the treatment, they should not be the only approach.

    By focusing on the root causes—such as nutrient imbalances, toxic buildup, and hormonal fluctuations—Dr. Damayo is able to offer a more comprehensive and effective solution. Her practice also emphasizes natural healing methods, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and ranscranial magnetic stimulation, which can significantly enhance brain health and recovery.

    Advanced Therapies Explained:
    *Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): - By delivering oxygen under high pressure, HBOT increases oxygen levels in the brain, which helps heal damaged tissues, reduce inflammation, and promote neurogenesis (the growth of new brain cells). This therapy has been particularly beneficial for patients with cognitive issues, brain fog, and trauma-related conditions. * Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): - TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that stimulates specific areas of the brain using magnetic pulses. It has shown remarkable success in treating depression, especially in cases where antidepressants have failed. TMS is also being explored for conditions like anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.

    Dr. Damayo's Unique Approach:
    Dr. Damayo's **precision psychiatry** integrates lab testing to identify deficiencies, environmental toxins, and other imbalances that could be contributing to mental health issues. Her personalized treatment plans may include **nutrient supplementation**, **detoxification protocols**, **hormone replacement**, and advanced therapies like HBOT and TMS. This **holistic model** looks at both the **mental and physical** aspects of health, understanding that the two are deeply interconnected.


    Mental health is complex, and there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Dr. Mizyl Damayo's innovative approach offers hope to those who have struggled with traditional treatments by focusing on the root causes of psychiatric conditions. Her **holistic and personalized** methods are helping patients achieve not just symptom relief, but true healing and long-term wellness.



    For more information about Dr. Damayo's practice and her unique precision psychiatry approach, visit her website at [Paradise Behavioral Health](https://www.paradisebehavioral.com/drdamayo/). BIO
    Dr. Damayo is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and by the Board of Preventive Medicine in Addiction Medicine. She uses the integrative medicine for mental healtyh and the precision psychiatry philosophy in treating her psychiatruc patients, focusing primarily on treating the root cause with an emphasis on supplements, lifestyle and therapy rather than just reaching for a pill to mask the psychiatric symptoms. She has been a speaker for the local community and national conferences sharing her knowledge for mental health and treatment options from a functional psychiatric approach. She is certified by the Millenium Health Network to treat Traumatic Brain Injury focusing on decreasing inflammation and supporting hormone balance for a whole person approach in their recovery. She is the owner and medical director of Paradise Behavioral Health, a mental health clinic in Southwest Florida. She is also the medical director of Community Behavioral health that has clinics in Cape Coral and Miami FL. She is the creator of the Brain Well Program that uses the principles of precision psychiatry which looks into the root causes of mental illness using biomarkers that includes genetics and blood work. Dr Damayo is also an attending at Park Royal Hospital, a 100 bed plus inpatient psychiatric hospital in Fort Myers FL She has recently been added as adjunctive professor at Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine, teaching 3rd year medical students in their psychiatry rotation.

  • In this episode, we have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Michael Lewis, renowned expert in brain health and traumatic brain injury (TBI), and author of the groundbreaking book, When Brains Collide. Dr. Lewis is the founder of the Brain Health Education and Research Institute and BrainCARE. With a military background and extensive experience in traumatic brain injuries, Dr. Lewis has dedicated his career to exploring how omega-3 fish oils can play a vital role in preventing and recovering from concussions, TBI, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases.

    Key Discussion Points
    1. The Role of Omega-3 Fish Oils in Brain Health
    Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), the primary omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, are crucial for maintaining brain structure and function.
    Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective, making them vital in protecting the brain from injury and supporting recovery.
    2. High-Dose Omega-3 Fish Oil for Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
    Dr. Lewis emphasizes how high-dose fish oil can help mitigate damage following a concussion or TBI.
    Dosing Protocols: In acute brain injury cases, Dr. Lewis recommends significantly higher doses of fish oil (e.g., up to 3-9 grams of combined DHA and EPA per day) to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and restore brain cell membrane integrity.
    Case studies demonstrate remarkable improvements in TBI patients, including quicker recovery times, reduced brain fog, and restored cognitive function.
    3. Fish Oils for Neurodegeneration and Stroke Prevention
    Regular intake of omega-3s is shown to be effective in reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
    Omega-3s help prevent stroke by reducing blood clot formation, improving vascular health, and lowering inflammation in brain tissues.
    Dr. Lewis advocates for omega-3s as part of a preventive strategy, particularly for aging individuals at higher risk of neurodegenerative conditions.
    4. Using Omega-3s as Preventive Medicine
    Consistent omega-3 supplementation is not just for recovery—it's crucial for maintaining optimal brain health. Athletes, military personnel, and individuals at risk for head trauma should use omega-3s proactively to strengthen their brain's resilience to injury.
    Preventative Dosing: Dr. Lewis suggests a daily intake of at least 2-3 grams of DHA and EPA combined for ongoing brain health and injury prevention.
    5. How to Choose a High-Quality Fish Oil
    Dr. Lewis explains the criteria for identifying a high-quality fish oil supplement:
    Purity: Free from contaminants like heavy metals and toxins.
    Potency: Look for a high concentration of DHA and EPA.
    Stability: Avoid fish oils that oxidize easily, as rancid oils can be harmful.
    Sourcing: Prefer fish oils sourced from wild-caught, sustainably harvested fish.
    Importance of third-party testing to ensure the product is safe and effective.
    6. Personal Stories and Case Studies
    Dr. Lewis shares inspiring stories of patients and athletes who have successfully used omega-3 therapy to recover from brain injuries.
    Examples include a football player who recovered from multiple concussions and a stroke survivor who regained cognitive function with high-dose omega-3 supplementation.
    7. How to Use Omega-3s After Brain Injury
    Immediate supplementation following a brain injury can make a significant difference in recovery outcomes. The sooner omega-3s are introduced post-injury, the better.
    Dr. Lewis provides insight into the timing and administration of omega-3 supplements during the acute phase of brain injury treatment.
    Recommended Resources:
    Dr. Michael Lewis's Website: Brain Health Education and Research Institute: http://www.brainhealtheducation.org/

  • In this episode, we delve into a revolutionary longevity molecule that you might not have heard of before: 1-MNA. If you're interested in staying younger longer and if you want to maintain your energy and vitality then this is an episode for you.

    Perhaps you have read the groundbreaking book by Dr David Sinclair "Lifespan" where he talks about NAD and how crucial it is for the body and how it can help upregulate sirtuin genes (longevity genes) and help you maintain your cellular health and energy. We are now 4 years on we have more data, studies and information to share in this arena.

    Perhaps you have been trying to improve your NAD metabolism, taking NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) or NR (nicotinamide riboside), and upregulating sirtuin genes, if you have then you need to hear this.

    We'll explore the intricacies of NAD pathways, the role of key enzymes, and why simply supplementing with NAD precursors may not be the best holistic approach and how we can improve on that approach to anti-aging

    Key Points Discussed:

    Introduction to NAD Metabolism:

    Overview of previous episodes on NAD metabolism with experts like Professor Joseph Baur, Dr. Elizabeth Yurth from the Boulder Longevity Institute, and Dr. Elena Seranova. Importance of understanding the complexities of NAD pathways beyond the basics.

    Understanding 1-MNA:

    Explanation of 1-MNA and its role in controlling NAD levels by blocking the enzyme NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). The dangers of upregulating NNMT, which degrades NAD and can lead to various health issues.

    Key Enzymes in NAD Metabolism:

    Discussion on the salvage pathway and two critical enzymes that degrade NAD. Importance of regulating NNMT to prevent its deleterious effects, particularly in senescent cells, cancer cells, and fat cells.

    Benefits of 1-MNA

    How 1-MNA can help maintain a balanced NAD metabolism by inhibiting NNMT. Potential benefits for conditions like schizophrenia, neurodegeneration, liver diseases, and cancer.

    Research and Studies:

    Overview of studies showing the positive effects of 1-MNA on post-COVID conditions, inflammation, and mitochondrial function. Insights from animal studies on 1-MNA's protective effects against metabolic disorders.

    Practical Applications:

    Recommendations for integrating 1-MNA into supplement regimens, especially for those taking NMN or NR. Potential benefits for various conditions, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiac disease, liver disease, cancer risk, long COVID, and fatigue.

    Balancing NAD Levels:

    Importance of maintaining NAD levels for energy production, DNA repair, neurotransmitter health, and longevity. The role of NAD as a redox molecule and the balance between NAD+ and NADH.

    Conclusion:

    Encouragement to explore further research on NNMT and its impact on health. Final thoughts on the potential of 1-MNAas a crucial supplement for maintaining NAD balance and promoting longevity.

    BIO

    With 33 years of medical experience, Reno, Nevada physician, William Clearfield, D.O. of the Clearfield Medical Group provides patients with successful treatment plans that benefit their health conditions and boost their overall quality of life.

    Emphasizing diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle, Dr. Clearfield was the “go to” guy when other physicians, even specialists at NYU and the University of Pennsylvania were baffled, in his adopted hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

    Dr. Clearfield graduated from the College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery, now Des Moines University, in 1978. He interned at Metropolitan Hospital in downtown Philadelphia and followed that up with a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Family Medicine.

    In 1984 he tested and successfully implemented one of the first individualized computer generated diet programs (on an Apple IIc no less) and instituted the Medifast Protein Sparing Modified Weight Loss program at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in Kingston, Pa.

    In 1990, a curious combination of family events, a cousin who, after ten years of fertility issues, became pregnant after three sessions, and a chance encounter with a ninety-year-old practitioner from the Peoples Republic of China, on a trip back home, led him to UCLA’s Medical Acupuncture Physicians training.

    Dr. C. took to acupuncture quickly, becoming the second medical doctor in the Wilkes, Barre-Scranton area to offer acupuncture in his practice. He became. Elected to the board of directors as the education director of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in 1992, Dr. C began a student with experienced acupuncturists which continue to this day.

    After election as the Secretary of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in 1994, Dr. C obtained his most prized academic degree. The secretary of the AAMA signed the diplomas earned in that session. In short, Dr. Clearfield signed his diploma!

    His 1992 treatise “Celestial Stems-5 Element Diet and Exercise Program,” based on Traditional Chinese Medicine dietary laws, was well received in the complementary medicine community.

    In 1994 Dr. Clearfield established the first combined functional and alternative medicine pain clinic at John Heinz Rehabilitation Hospital in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He partnered with staff physiatrists, physical therapist, speech pathologist and psychologists to offer a comprehensive pain management program.

    A 1995 article “Form Follows Function; The Treatment of Musculoskeletal Head and Neck Disease,” is the model used taught today for all shoulder and neck injuries.

    In 1997 he chaired the 9th Annual Symposium of the American Academy of Medical Acupuncture in Washington, D.C.

    Dr. C was the fourth licensed osteopathic acupuncture physician in the state of Pennsylvania.

    Moving his practice to Reno in 2013, Dr. William Clearfield and the Clearfield Medical Group has quickly become the source in which patients turn to when looking for alternative and functional medicine.

    BIO

    John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™.

    Dr. John E. Lewis has spent most of his career developing a unique approach as someone who "walks the walk" through all of his combined professional and personal experiences to attaining optimal health through nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise. Throughout his research career, he has evaluated many different nutritional approaches to enhancing well-being, particularly for brain health, immune function, and counteracting aging. He can separate fact from fiction regarding how to utilize nutrition and dietary supplements to help you achieve and maintain optimal health. If you need a trusted source of information, products, and services, then look no further than Dr. Lewis and how he can help you achieve your health-related goals.

    Professional Career

    Dr. Lewis is past full-time Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition™. He is a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies on human health in his research career. During that time, he either directly raised or indirectly supported raising over $23 million in grants, gifts, and contracts for research studies and clinical trials and educational programs for medical students. In addition to his research, Dr. Lewis has been an invited national and international lecturer and guest speaker at conferences and as a guest on television shows. He is a well-known author with over 180 peer-reviewed publications in some of the world's leading scientific journals. He has also mentored many different students, from undergraduates to post-doctoral trainees, in not only how to conduct clinical research but to apply the principles of health promotion into daily practice.

    Research Interests

    Much of Dr. Lewis's research has focused on evaluating the effects of nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise on various aspects of human health. He and his colleagues have been continually searching for ways to help people achieve and maintain health through natural treatments that align with our physiology. A primary stimulus for the origin of Dr Lewis Nutrition™ occurred after Dr. Lewis ran his landmark study on how an aloe polysaccharide multi-nutrient complex improved cognitive and immune functioning after 12 months in persons with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease, leading to the creation of the dietary supplement, Daily Brain Care. Daily Brain Care showed clinically and statistically significant improvements in cognition according to the ADAS-cog cognition score and statistically significant improvements in inflammation (according to TNFα and VEGF), immune function (according to the CD4/CD8 ratio), and adult stem cells (according to CD14+ cells). His seminal publication from the study in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease not only spurred him to leave academics and pursue a science-based business career, but also enabled him to be selected for a widely-acclaimed TEDxMiami talk.

    Founding Dr Lewis Nutrition™

    While Dr. Lewis still maintains an academic affiliation, he chose to leave a full-time research career to pursue his true passion of helping people achieve health through nutrition, dietary supplements, and exercise. His research in brain health and immune function was key in the creation of Daily Brain Care, but afterward he chose to shift into business where the opportunity to reach a larger audience is greater. Dr Lewis Nutrition™ is the vehicle through which Dr. Lewis leverages his many years of personal and professional work to spread a message of health that is so desperately needed, particularly for those who are afflicted with an all-too-common chronic disease, e.g., neurodegeneration, immune dysfunction, or cardiac and metabolic disorder. Dr. Lewis will continue to be a thought leader to help people utilize the power of nutrition and dietary supplements and learn how to take control of and optimize their health.

  • In this episode the incredible Dr Thomas Levy, Board Certified Cardiologist and Attorney, author of 13 books including: Curing the Incurable - the Vitamin C story and it's therapeutic effects The Hidden Epidemic - the story around dental infections, root canals and their affect on cardiovascular disease and breast cancer and beyond. Death by Calcium - the truth about calcium and why supplementing with calcium is a bad idea.

We dive into his research on Methylene Blue and its ability to help those with mitochondrial dysfunction and energy problems. We also get into why 100% of root canals are infected and the terrible effect that can have on your risks for developing heart disease and also breast cancer. We dive again into the benefits and many faceted roles that vitamin C plays in the body as not only a powerful antioxidant but how it has the ability to get everywhere in the body and why that makes it much more powerful than many other antioxidants and we discuss it's roles in everything from cancer to covid to sepsis to cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. We also discuss his indepth research into why calcium is so detrimental when it is higher in the body than it should be and why just a small increase of calcium in the soft tissues outside of bone and teeth has such deleterious effects and why magnesium is so beneficial and how it counteracts calciums deleterious effects in the body. We also look into iron and how it promotes cancer and why it can be elevated in people suffering with viruses and pathogens that are chronic. We also discuss copper toxicity and why so many have too much free copper which can be as toxic as mercury. Antimony is another topic we get into and why it's so high in the population. Lastly we dive into osteoporosis why it's actually focal scurvy and a lack of vitamin C. This episode is a masterclass in health optimisation that you will want to repeat over and over again.
