Katie: Howdy, and welcome to The Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com, and this episode goes deep on mitochondria, why they’re so vital, why we’re sick, what’s incorrect with our meals provide, and how one can get higher. And I’m right here with Dr. Robert Floyd, who’s board licensed by the American Academy of Household Physicians and the Institute for Purposeful Drugs. He’s a member of the American Academy for Antiaging Drugs and the American School of Way of life Drugs. And he has in depth coaching in practical medication, household medication, emergency medication, trauma surgical procedure, and demanding care, and has labored as an Integrative Doctor, Hospitalist, and Emergency Drugs Doctor during the last 15 years.
However having seen firsthand the devastation left behind by our present Western Drugs Mannequin, he knew he needed to do one thing totally different and has switched to his method, which we discuss in-depth about at this time. He’s additionally an elite degree athlete himself, and so he keenly understands how eating regimen and life-style decisions affect well being and wellness. He’s very a lot an out of doors the field thinker. He integrates biohacking instruments, integrative and practical medication, and far more.
And on this episode, we go deep on why over 90% of Individuals are thought-about sick, clinically sick, and have at the very least a few signs of metabolic dysfunction. We discuss in regards to the early warning indicators of this. He shares an attention-grabbing reality I didn’t know that we make our whole physique weight price of ATP every single day. We discuss mitochondria and ATP and the way vital they’re, how uric acid comes into play, about fatty liver illness, how one can help our mitochondria, fully free biohacks that make an amazing distinction, the dietary supplements he recommends, quite a bit about diet and life-style components, and a lot extra. So let’s be part of Dr. Floyd. Dr. Robert, welcome. Thanks a lot for being right here.
Robert: Thanks a lot for having me. It is a pleasure. It’s actually enjoyable to be spreading the phrase.
Katie: Effectively, I’m excited to leap into subjects like mitochondria and dissect among the issues that we’re hopefully conscious of with our trendy eating regimen. However earlier than we get into that, I’ve a be aware out of your bio that your first books have been written in fifth grade, and I’d love to listen to what sparked that and what they have been.
Robert: Yeah, it was form of bizarre. I’m 54, so again, that was in regards to the time of I don’t know if you happen to keep in mind the TV present Dallas. It was a fairly standard present approach again when. I’m completely relationship myself. Nevertheless it was who killed Jr. It was a giant episode, and for some purpose, I really wrote a few books. One in all them was Rocky the Squirrel. It was form of a narrative a couple of squirrel that grew to become a rock star, and it was fairly humorous. After which the opposite e book was who killed Cr? Which was the title of the principal at my highschool or at my elementary faculty at the moment. I’d completely in all probability go to jail proper now if I did that, proper? Wrote a e book of the title of that about who killed the principal. They’d be like, you’re on a watch record. However I don’t know the way it labored. It’s humorous as a result of I took cardboard and paper and stapled them and made a canopy of those little books. I imply, they’re tiny, skinny paper books, and so they’re from fifth grade. However I don’t know. I’ve all the time needed to be a author for a very long time, and I’ve executed a bunch of writing. I’ve written for magazines. So I simply wrote these two books in fifth grade only for enjoyable. I nonetheless have them on my bookshelf, really. It’s form of cool.
Katie: I like that. And I’d say that curiosity and creativity are core first ideas in our home with the youngsters. And so I like that. It sounds such as you have been very a lot on that monitor, even from a younger age, and that in all probability directed you into a whole lot of fascinating areas inside your analysis and your profession now.
And I’m excited to get to delve deep on a few of these as a result of I feel you have got a really considerate and distinctive method to a few of these subjects, and I feel lots of people can profit out of your method. So to begin off broad, I feel we’ve a similarity right here in that I first acquired thinking about well being after I learn, when my oldest youngster was a new child, that for the primary time in two centuries, the present technology of American youngsters would have a shorter life expectancy than their mother and father. And since then, it looks as if we’re seeing these destructive statistics proceed to rise. And it’s not a secret that each one of those well being circumstances that have an effect on people are on the rise, particularly in America, however within the developed world as an entire. And the attention-grabbing half I’ve observed is in some instances when folks go to Europe, they may eat most of the similar meals or meals they wouldn’t even usually eat and do higher than they might within the US. And there’s a whole lot of discuss of the usual American eating regimen, however I feel you have got an interesting tackle this. So let’s begin broad with why are Individuals so sick? Why are we seeing an increase in all of those issues at such a drastic price?
Robert: Yeah, that’s a superb query, and it’s one thing that really simply tears my coronary heart aside. The American School of Cardiology got here out with a journal article final summer season that stated 93.2% of all Individuals are sick. Metabolically unwell, which means they’ve one or two or three or all of metabolic signs, metabolic syndrome signs, excessive waist to hip ratio, hypertension, insulin resistance, Dyslipidemia, and so forth. Mainly, such as you simply stated about how that is the primary time when your youngsters should not going to be dwelling longer than their grownup than their mother and father, that is the primary time you possibly can actually say each single grownup individual in America statistically is sick.
9.3 out of ten adults in America are sick. And the identical goes with fatty liver illness. Fatty liver illness is a illness of overconsumption. It’s mainly fructose overdose, proper? Excessive fructose corn syrup has taken such a large a part of America’s eating regimen that whenever you eat excessive fructose corn syrup, it results in fatty liver illness. And the scary statistic there may be virtually 100 million folks in America have non-alcoholic fatty liver illness, and that features 15% of all youngsters. Proper. And this is likely one of the the explanation why you discuss your your youngsters should not going to be dwelling. I’m positive your youngsters are going to dwell longer than you since you’re educating them how one can dwell wholesome and accurately.
So 15% of all youngsters in America have non alcoholic fatty liver illness, and that is an grownup illness. They usually have diabetes. And two out of each three of us have both diabetes or prediabetes. 65% of us are overweight. I chalk it as much as after all, it’s multifactorial, however the factor is, it’s meals, meals, meals, meals, meals, meals. It’s extremely processed meals. It’s sodas, sugary snacks, excessive fructose corn syrup, and so forth. I imply, I may go on and on, however go forward and interrupt me anytime you need to. Simply cease, as a result of I get on tangents and simply begin speaking. So I’m making an attempt to restrict to some sentences in order that it’s extra forwards and backwards.
Katie: Yeah. What I feel the understanding metabolic dysfunction and why so many individuals have at the very least one symptom of that is such an vital stepping stone and start line, as a result of we do know the hyperlinks between these signs of metabolic dysfunction and the entire extra extreme ailments that improve your danger of dying from varied causes. And I really feel like this one is to a big diploma ignored by standard medication for probably the most half. Usually the method is to attend until somebody has certainly one of these extra severe circumstances.
However I additionally come from the assumption that signs are literally great as a result of they’re giving us an perception into one thing. And if we’re seeing signs of metabolic dysfunction, in a way, it’s an early warning signal from our physique that one thing’s not proper. So I’d love so that you can perhaps are you able to clarify among the signs of metabolic dysfunction and what folks must search for and concentrate on in the event that they’re within the early levels of these?
Robert: Yeah, completely. Once more, like I stated, you could possibly have in case you have three of the 5 signs of metabolic syndrome, you have got mainly metabolic syndrome, and it’s prediabetes. However the precise signs that individuals are feeling at this time is fatigue, malaise, pores and skin points, poor hair. We’re speaking like eczema, psoriasis, enlarged waist to hip ratio, stomach stomach fats, melancholy, nervousness. All of those are from metabolic syndrome. These are all metabolic signs which might be mainly a harbinger of, hey, one thing’s going incorrect with you. And so right here I imagine that the human physique is completely genius. It’s probably the most genius factor that we all know of something in the complete universe. It’s higher than any supercomputer or something as a result of it has so many programs of redundancy to maintain us wholesome.
I imply, give it some thought. We now have 70 trillion cells in our physique, and each 2nd 25 million of them are dying and repopulating new ones. And you may feed your self rubbish meals. You may go to Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. Yada. Yada. Yada. You might smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol for years and years and years and years, and it doesn’t catch as much as you as a result of your physique’s working so exhausting at getting again to homeostasis. However in the future it simply says, that’s it, I’ve had sufficient. Right here’s your illness.
And it’s actually, really disheartening for me as a result of I’ve seen so many individuals sick and dying within the hospitals from mainly these non communicable ailments, weight problems, diabetes. I name them diabesity as a result of they go so hand in hand. In case you are overweight, weight problems is immediately associated to 16 several types of most cancers. That proper there ought to scare the heck out of everyone and say, I don’t need to be overweight as a result of I don’t need to be liable to 16 extra cancers. And so all of it comes all the way down to and if you happen to go searching America proper now, everyone’s just about form of like that film Fats, Sick, and Almost Lifeless, and we’re all strolling round like zombies. And it’s one thing that must be modified, like dramatically and instantaneously. And I need to be part of that grassroots nice reset of serving to folks notice, hey, this issues.
Katie: Yeah. And I really feel just like the actually constructive a part of that message is that if it’s about meals and if it’s about non-communicable ailments, these continual ailments, we even have an amazing quantity of energy to have an effect on these variables ourselves. And I say usually on the finish of the day, we’re every our personal main well being care supplier as a result of it’s our every day decisions and habits that make the distinction. And fortunately, there are wonderful practitioners such as you who’re prepared to be folks’s companion in changing into their very own well being care supplier and making higher decisions. But in addition to spotlight one thing, I feel that basically stood out to me in what you simply stated. And I feel this will get misplaced within the message in America in terms of meals is we frequently take into consideration the quantity of meals and there’s a whole lot of discuss of we’re consuming an excessive amount of as a result of we’re all overweight.
However once we really dissect the info, it isn’t essentially the quantity of meals. And purely anecdotally, I eat far more now than I did originally of my well being journey. Now that I’ve actually put an effort to heal my metabolism, I’m really consuming much more quantity of meals. However I feel the standard of meals will not be talked about sufficient. And I feel this can be a huge issue that we have to have a really deep, trustworthy dialog about as a result of pertaining to the Europe issue or different locations on this planet, I feel the standard of meals and even non-food meals substances that we’re consuming is what’s actually making a distinction, particularly within the US. Are you able to discuss among the huge offenders in our meals provide which might be perhaps contributing to those metabolic points?
Robert: Completely. And that’s a terrific query as nicely. And one of many largest ones could be glyphosate. They spray, mainly Roundup, and which has been deemed by the World Well being Group and the Worldwide Affiliation on Most cancers Analysis as carcinogenic to people. Okay? In America, we’ve Roundup prepared soy, Roundup prepared corn, Roundup prepared, all types of different crops that you would be able to they’ll really actually spray Roundup on them. And it doesn’t kill the crop. It simply kills the weeds on the bottom.
And one of many issues that we’ve realized not too long ago is that what a whole lot of these farmers are doing is that they’re spraying Roundup on wheat every week or two earlier than they minimize it down. As a result of what it does, it helps make it die sooner. It doesn’t actually kill it. It kills it, however it’s additionally desiccant. It makes it dry out sooner. And so it makes it simpler for the machines to reap the wheat, and it makes it sooner for them to reap, which equals extra income. I imply, God bless our farmers. I help our farmers as a lot as I can. With out them, all of us die.
However one of many issues with Roundup, and I don’t know if anybody in your podcast remembers, however two years in the past in California, a gentleman sued and received $11 million as a result of he acquired Lymphoma. He was a gardener, a upkeep man spraying Roundup and the issue with Roundup is it’s a toxin that kills bugs. It’s not simply an herbicide, it kills bugs as nicely. And once we eat Roundup, it kills our microbiome inside our guts and our microbiome. That is one thing we may discuss, which I discover completely fascinating and simply wonderful. Our microbiome is so very important to good well being that we’re simply beginning to examine it within the final 20, 25 years. We didn’t even realize it existed until now. However the issue with the Roundup is what it does is it kills the microbiome inside your intestine and it throws your complete physique right into a disarray. And that’s only one side. I may go on 5 or 6 extra issues about what else we eat and we will discuss that too, as nicely.
Katie: Completely. And that is one that’s banned, from my understanding, in lots of different international locations and used extensively within the US. To not point out, I imply, I’ve seen the aspect by aspect comparisons of meals labels between the US. and different international locations and all of the components which might be put in the identical product right here, however not somewhere else.
I additionally know that statistically, our consumption of seed oils may be very excessive within the US. And that is one thing that didn’t even exist in our eating regimen a few hundred years in the past. However are you able to stroll us by way of? As a result of this I really feel prefer it’s a little bit little bit of a controversial one. I’ve been speaking about it for years and I nonetheless get some pushback. However why processed seed oils are so problematic in our diets?
Robert: I’ll simply come out and say it. They’re completely 100% poisonous to us. They usually go by the title of vegetable oils. Effectively, they’re not from greens. They’re from grains and seeds. And one of many issues with seed oils is A) how they make them. They need to grind them, warmth them, after which categorical the oil with chemical course of. That’s, these are dangerous chemical substances like acetone. And these are petroleum based mostly chemical substances that they’re getting the oils out of the seeds after which there’s that residue left over.
And one of many issues with seed oils is that whenever you warmth the fats, as a result of they’re fatty acids, whenever you warmth fats, it turns them into, it oxidizes them after which turns them into trans fat. So after they pulverize, squish, after which categorical the seed oil with the acetone or no matter petroleum chemical they use, they then have to scrub them. After which it’s a nasty brown coloration and it smells horrible. So that they have to scrub them with one other chemical after which they need to deodorize them as a result of whenever you oxidize fat, they odor actually rancid. They odor horrible.
And so the precise biochemistry drawback of seed oils with our human physique is that they’re tremendous duper excessive in omega six fatty acids. Now, omega six’s all of us want omega sixes. They’re inflammatory. They’re professional inflammatory. You get a minimize in your physique you want an inflammatory response on your immune system to go heal that minimize. Nevertheless it’s very transient. It comes and it goes with an damage, it goes away.
The omega three fatty acids are anti-inflammatory. And so if you happen to have a look at our ancestors, I’m an enormous, large fan of Loren Cordain, the Paleo eating regimen man. My complete program, it’s all paleo. I dwell a paleo life-style. And I don’t say eating regimen as a result of it’s greater than only a eating regimen. It’s far more than a eating regimen. It’s a way of life as a result of, and I say this to my purchasers on a regular basis, diets fail, however existence don’t. So it’s a must to adapt. Undertake a well being life-style and you can be wholesome.
However if you happen to have a look at our ancestors, the cavemen, cave ladies, again after they have been foraging, their omega three to omega six ratio was one to at least one. At present, in the usual American eating regimen, the omega six to omega three ratio is 19-20 to at least one. So we’re having 19 or 20 occasions the quantity of omega six fatty acids in our eating regimen, which results in continual irritation. In order that’s, I feel, in all probability the worst factor about it’s the chemical substances and the continual irritation from the omega sixes.
Katie: Yeah, and I feel that’s the vital factor to know that ratio and that’s usually not talked about sufficient, and understanding that the physique has to make use of no matter inputs we make accessible to it to construct our literal tissue. That our existence. And so once we give it non optimum inputs within the incorrect ratio, it’s nonetheless going to make use of them. However I’ve seen at the very least some reviews that that may result in elevated probability of mutations and various things in cells as a result of we don’t have the right constructing blocks.
One other one I do know you discuss extensively about is excessive fructose corn syrup. And I’d guess most individuals listening don’t contemplate {that a} well being meals by any means. However I really feel such as you additionally do a very nice job of explaining why it may be so problematic, much more so than we might suppose.
Robert: Yeah, it’s actually poisonous. And I didn’t used to suppose it was. I used to be responsible. Again within the day, I used to eat candy stuff and sodas. I imply, I don’t actually drink a whole lot of sodas, however if you happen to have a look at the biochemical pathway of how excessive fructose corn syrup is damaged down into, in your liver, solely the liver can break down fructose. That’s the one place in your complete physique that fructose might be damaged down. And if you happen to really have a look at a cell within the liver, the way in which it is available in, the way in which fructose is transported by way of the cell, you mechanically turn into ATP depleted. It takes additional ATP, which is the power foreign money of all of our cells. It’s, with out ATP, all of us die inside 1 second. And what’s actually loopy about ATP, this can be a actually neat reality. We make our whole physique weight every single day in ATP. And if you consider it. It’s a microscopic molecule, and we make our complete physique weight price. So I’m making 155 kilos of ATP every single day. Like I stated, it’s the power foreign money of the cell.
When fructose will get into the liver cell, it mechanically eats a few additional ATP simply due to the transport that it has to undergo. Then when one of many biochemical pathways, it form of splits in a few totally different instructions. As soon as it goes within the liver cell, certainly one of them really decreases the nitric oxide synthase accessible to the remainder of the physique. And that’s actually vital, as a result of I’m making an attempt to suppose. Nitric oxide synthase is what it does, is it makes nitric oxide in your physique, and that helps your physique calm down all the sleek blood vessels in your cardiovascular system and all of your blood vessels. Proper. So nitric oxide is answerable for so many issues. It’s such a beautiful molecule. And actually, I feel the gentleman who found it received the Nobel Prize for locating nitric oxide as a result of it’s so vital.
And so when you have got a decreased quantity of nitric oxide synthase, as a result of what occurs is it goes fructose, will get damaged down into uric acid. And everyone’s heard of uric acid. Effectively, not lots of people heard of uric acid, and so they affiliate that with gout. Okay? And what uric acid does, like I stated, it decreases the nitric oxide synthase. That proper there results in hypertension. So simply by consuming excessive fructose corn syrup, giant quantities of it, like, every day, I imply, there’s folks on the market that drink 8, 10, 12 sodas a day, which is gobs and gobs of excessive fructose corn syrup. And in order that alone can result in elevated uric acid, which may additionally provide you with gout, however it additionally decreases the nitric oxide synthase, resulting in hypertension. It additionally results in inserting fats deposits in your liver. It provides you fatty liver illness. It additionally results in dyslipidemia, which is you have got good ldl cholesterol, dangerous ldl cholesterol. It raises the dangerous ldl cholesterol. It additionally results in central adiposity by way of the biochemical pathways that break it down. And that is all scientific reality.
That is all one thing I realized from Robert Lustig, who wrote the e book Metabolical. And I’ve acquired a terrific cell image, and I’ve used that for a few of my purchasers, as a result of I do typically for company trainings. And I’ve proven the purchasers this image, after which you could possibly simply see the sunshine bulbs going off over there, and so they’re like, oh, my God. Oh, my God, I get it. Yeah. In order that’s why excessive fructose corn syrup is dangerous for you in about six alternative ways, and we should always all keep away from it as a lot as attainable.
Katie: Yeah. And I like that we’ve gotten to spotlight among the actually huge offenders, and I do know that there are lots of extra past that. And I’ve talked some about them earlier than. I do know you discuss extensively about them as nicely.
However I’d love to change focus now and likewise discuss in regards to the flip aspect of this, which is knowing how a lot of our well being is impacted by these components that we’re placing into our physique. We now have great energy to have an effect on change in a constructive route. And I do know you have got even an entire program associated to this, however I’d like to undergo among the issues that we will do to optimize our well being in the suitable route, to undo a few of this injury for individuals who have already got a few of these signs displaying up of their lives. So the place do you begin as a baseline method with that?
Robert: The firstly is I need to give folks hope that you would be able to reverse continual illness, you may get higher, you possibly can dwell more healthy and happier. Nevertheless it does take a little bit little bit of effort in your half. You must cease feeding your physique horrible issues. In my program, I take away and change. It’s a six hour program. Take away and change, restore and rebalance, after which rejuvenate and reclaim your life, proper?
So the primary issues first is you bought to take away the offending brokers. You must get rid. In my program, I attempt to go gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, seed oil free, synthetic sweetener free. After which I do know it’s robust for lots of people, however once more, like I stated, folks need to take company. Such as you have been speaking about the way you’ve raised your youngsters to be actually impartial and actually sturdy willed and to do issues that they know they should do, which I applaud you for that. That’s so superior. Thanks for elevating superior youngsters. We’d like extra.
Nevertheless it doesn’t matter, such as you talked about earlier, in regards to the amount versus the standard of meals, it doesn’t matter how a lot you restrict your caloric consumption if you happen to’re consuming actually dangerous rubbish, if you happen to’re consuming gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, excessive fructose corn syrup, synthetic sweeteners, you possibly can eat all that and train till your legs fall off. You’re not going to shed weight. It’s due to the biochemical pathways in our our bodies. Our our bodies don’t know what to do with a whole lot of these things.
And so a whole lot of occasions, particularly like when you have got a whole lot of added sugars and excessive fructose corn syrup and issues like that, you have got an insulin spike. And your insulin is like, hey, let’s retailer this as fats. And so, I imply, irrespective of how exhausting you train, you’re not going to have the ability to outrun your fork ever. That’s all there may be to it. So once more, I need to return round again. My very first thing is I need to give folks hope as a result of there’s a lot dismal, dreadful info on the market at this time. However hope for me is making folks, hope is a giant driver of change. If you may get folks that really say, sure, I can do that, I can do that, there’s hope for me, they’re extra prone to do the change. And so this is likely one of the issues I’m dealing with, is getting folks to cease consuming sure issues. However then the subsequent drawback I’m dealing with and making an attempt to handle is by serving to folks find out how and what to eat.
Katie: Yeah, and I feel that’s large. I imply, I’ve seen this play out for me in my very own well being and reversing issues like hashimoto’s during the last ten years. And I feel that is particularly for the ladies listening. I really feel like a really encouraging message as a result of that cycle you talked about can really feel very irritating till you determine your individual puzzle items of what’s going to assist make the distinction for you. And I particularly keep in mind the occasions after they appeared not possible to shed weight even after I had my eating regimen dialed in to some extent.
However now, of the liberty I really feel in understanding a lot better how one can correctly nourish my physique, and I’m consuming such an even bigger quantity of meals, which interprets to extra power I’m in a position to work out extra successfully. So I really feel like the beauty of that is we will both go within the route of the destructive suggestions loop or the constructive suggestions loop. And the physique, such as you stated, is so nice at adapting and therapeutic, and that’s what it needs to do. And it looks as if your method is concentrated on giving folks the steps and the instruments to vary that suggestions loop and to maneuver in a constructive route. So what are a few of these core meals that you just concentrate on and or what comes after that? Is it dietary supplements? Is it life-style components? What do you add after the diet piece?
Robert: After I get folks to take away and change, what I get them to exchange with is Entire Meals. I’m an enormous fan of grass fed, grass, completed, regenerative, raised meat. I’ve a small ten acre ranch the place really I elevate sheep. It’s just about natural sheep. And I harvest them, I slaughter them, and I promote them to my family and friends, and I attempt to eat solely meat the place I do know the place it comes from. As a result of manufacturing facility farm meat, that’s an entire different podcast we may discuss and regenerative farming. We’d like regenerative farming and manufacturing facility farming must go away.
However grass fed meat, there’s a whole lot of discuss, there’s a whole lot of BS on the market about Oh, cows are answerable for the entire local weather disaster, which is the most important hoax and the most important lie on the market. And so animals, whenever you elevate them correctly and whenever you cycle them on the farm, they really assist heal the land and so they assist change carbon within the soil. And so, like I stated, we’ve 25 sheep out in my yard proper now. I’ve 15 chickens that I exploit for eggs. So I don’t even purchase eggs from the shop. And within the summertime, we elevate meat chickens. And so I don’t purchase hen from the shop ever both.
And in order that nicely raised, hormone free, antibiotic free meats and grass fed are actually good for you. There’s been a whole lot of analysis during the last 5, 10 years that grass fed meats are so a lot better for you since you get the nutritional vitamins and minerals from the grasses that these animals are consuming, and that’s actually vital. After which phytonutrients, you want tons and tons of phytonutrients. After I say that, that’s vitamins from vegetation. And I attempt to get my purchasers to eat the rainbow. Eat as many alternative colours meals as you possibly can. Reds, greens, yellows, whites, pale yellows, pale inexperienced, purple. And every a type of phytonutrients, every a type of colours represents a selected phytonutrient in there that may assist you along with your well being.
Katie: Yeah, very a lot in alignment with you on that. I really feel like including in actually prime quality protein and getting extra of it was an enormous think about my power ranges.

And earlier on, you talked about mitochondria. And I didn’t know that stat about how a lot ATP we make every single day. I knew it was quite a bit, however I didn’t realize it was our physique weight, which is unbelievable. Which brings the query, what are some ways in which we will help our mitochondria and help the manufacturing of ATP and optimize that inside our our bodies?
Robert: Yeah, that’s a superb query, too. Mitochondria. Lots of people don’t know what mitochondria are. They’re mainly the nuclear reactor power producers in every certainly one of our cells. And if you happen to return to eighth grade biology, we discuss you have got the cell, you have got the nucleus, you have got the endoplasmic reticulum, you have got the Golgi equipment, you have got the mitochondria. And I used to suppose there was just one mitochondria per cell, proper? However that’s fully incorrect.
There are quadrillions of mitochondria in our physique. Okay, so, similar form of idea in regards to the ATP, how a lot we make. It’s thoughts blowing. We now have hundreds of trillions of mitochondria in our physique. And so relying on how metabolically energetic your cells are, just like the tissue of your coronary heart, it’s beating all day, every single day. It’s very metabolically energetic. Your liver cells are very metabolically energetic. Your kidney cells are metabolically energetic. Your mind is extremely metabolically reactive. So the extra metabolically energetic these cells are, these tissues are, the extra mitochondria you possibly can have in every one of many cells. Like, one coronary heart cell might need 10,000 mitochondria in it with the intention to make sufficient ATP for you.
And so the mitochondria, the way in which I have a look at it, is I form of equate it as to love the engine in your automobile. It’s what provides you power, what propels you ahead. However it’s a must to feed it gasoline on your engine. And the engine additionally makes exhaust. And so for our mitochondria, it’s a must to feed it actually prime quality meals breakdown merchandise. And it additionally does make exhaust within the type of reactive oxygen species, which may really, if you happen to get an excessive amount of, that is what antioxidants maintain these reactive oxygen species. And so our physique, once more, genius, makes tons and tons and tons of naturally occurring antioxidants.
And so what can occur whenever you eat a calorically dense, nutrient poor eating regimen? Your mitochondria should not getting the entire substrates that they want. And so that you requested about how one can enhance the standard and power from the mitochondria and how one can shield it. At the start is what I like to recommend to everyone is time optimized consuming. I’m eliminating the time period in my program, time restricted feeding, or intermittent fasting, as a result of no person needs to quick. And feeding sounds such as you’re an animal on the trough. So I’m altering it to time optimized consuming.
And so mainly, I don’t eat virtually 16 hours every single day. I imply, it’s 12:00. I haven’t eaten since yesterday at 8:30, and I try this every single day. I quick at the very least 16 hours every single day, and I like to recommend that to everyone. There’s a neurologist, David Perlmutter, who’s amazingly good in terms of Alzheimer’s and neurocognitive well being, and he stated on the Hyman podcast, everyone must quick 12 hours a day, minimal. And right here’s a caveat, although, and I don’t need to be telling folks everyone has to quick as a result of there’s some folks that ought to not quick. When you’re pregnant, you shouldn’t be fasting. When you’re lactating and feeding a child breastfeeding, you shouldn’t be fasting. In case you have Cachexia, which is a really, very low BMI from, like, perhaps continual illness, you shouldn’t be fasting. In case you have a earlier historical past of an consuming dysfunction, you shouldn’t be fasting until it’s below a physician’s supervision. However time optimized consuming is likely one of the most completely great issues you are able to do to extend the quantity and the effectivity and effectiveness of your mitochondria.
Katie: Yeah, I like that, and I like your time period for it, since you’re proper. I’ve all the time thought, like, time restricted feeding did really feel like what we might do with animals or mice in a lab, not what people would do, however to your level, two issues that I’ve observed a giant distinction personally from switching my mindset round have been as a substitute of specializing in energy or quantity of meals consumed, I simply attempt to concentrate on nutrient density for the amount of meals that I’m consuming. So how can I maximize the vitamins and the micronutrients and all of the issues within the quantity of meals that I’m going to eat every single day anyway, after which additionally switching to consuming in a shorter window?
And I feel to your level, this can be a very individualized, personalised factor, and we every have to determine what’s going to work finest with us inside that. However for me personally, I observed that switching my consuming window to, like, earlier within the day as a feminine has been actually useful. So I’ll attempt to eat protein within the morning. I’ll attempt to get a whole lot of vitamins at breakfast, however I attempt to cease consuming by sundown in order that I’ve a couple of hours earlier than mattress to digest earlier than I’m sleeping. And at the very least for me, that’s made a distinction in my sleep.
And I really feel like I had Dr. Satchin Panda on this podcast as nicely, and he talked about it’s not simply eat much less, which is the recommendation the American system provides. However if you happen to eat in a restricted window, you possibly can usually get lots of those self same advantages with out feeling such as you’re having to limit your energy at any given meal. And I feel when paired with optimizing for nutrient density, particularly, ladies reply very well to that as a result of with our hormones, we’ve a fairly excessive demand for micronutrients and for vitamins usually. And so these two have been actually useful for me personally.
Robert: Yeah, completely. I agree 100%. And really, they’ve proven some research have proven that point optimized consuming, if you happen to do early within the morning and like what you’re doing, it’s really higher for weight reduction as nicely. However once more, additionally, it’s essential. I’m not going to inform somebody, okay, begin doing time optimized consuming, however it’s okay to go eat McDonald’s and Taco Bell and yada yada, yada. You continue to have to essentially be conscientious about what you stated, like, the nutrient density of meals, proper? I imply, I’m I’m so blessed. My spouse and I like to cook dinner collectively, and we all the time make our personal meals. We all the time have one or two greens and a salad. And typically she likes it greater than I do, and I’m like, oh, let’s simply eat this. I hunt. So I additionally eat elk and antelope and deer, and I may simply energy on meat quite a bit.
Nevertheless it’s additionally essential that if you find yourself consuming and whenever you’re doing the time optimized consuming, that you just do have nutrient dense meals. And that’s so, so vital.
After which one other level, I’ve had a few of my purchasers be like, oh, I’m doing the time optimized consuming, however I’m solely consuming one meal a day. I’m like, no, you can’t try this. That’s not good for you. As a result of what that does, that places your physique right into a shortage mindset, and it begins hoarding meals as a result of it thinks you’re in hunger mode. And so what I inform all my purchasers, and I be certain of this, eat your whole energy in that eight hour window or a six hour window, and it’s essential that you just eat your whole energy. Like, for me, I experience dust bikes, I practice jiu jitsu, I do yoga, I’ve my ranch. After I eat in that eight hour window, I’m powering down like 2000 plus energy every single day. And so it’s essential that you just try this.
Katie: Yeah, that’s such a terrific level. And I feel for me, one other useful shift that in all probability strains up along with your mindset based mostly on what you simply stated, is I began studying to suppose like an athlete, which I had by no means considered myself early in life as an athlete. And now I’m really coaching for a Heptathlon. However I made that swap earlier than I really began doing something associated to train as a result of I noticed in working with elite athletes, they’ve this totally totally different mindset of how they associated to their our bodies, and so they targeted on fueling optimally, recovering optimally, which is a big blind spot. I really feel like for lots of people, their sleep, like all this stuff grew to become foundationally vital as a result of it associated to what’s additionally their job. However I realized a lot from them in how their mindset pertains to these issues.
And I feel additionally this touches on the concept that I do know all these new biohacks can get so attractive and everyone’s within the subsequent stylish factor, and I feel there’s very a lot time and a spot for these and they are often very useful instruments. However the foundational issues have to return first as a result of then if you happen to’re going so as to add the biohacks, they work higher anyway. So earlier than somebody spends some huge cash on a purple mild, make daylight an everyday a part of your routine, or morning daylight. Before you purchase a sauna, be sure you are getting motion every single day. Earlier than you’re shopping for some costly units, be certain your sleep is dialed in, after which all of these issues are going to work higher anyway. I do know you even have a terrific method to the biohacking aspect since that’s such a stylish phrase proper now. So I’d love to listen to a few of perhaps your favorites and the way you combine them or what you advocate to most of your sufferers.
Robert: Yeah, once more, such as you stated, you bought to get the foundational stuff dialed in first. I’m not going to go and purchase some purple lights and put them on my testicles like Ben Greenfield recommends. Loads of the biohacking stuff is form of Bogus and BS stuff, however you need to biohack. The best biohack on this planet is time optimized consuming interval. Okay.
One other one is top of the range sleep. You bought to have prime quality sleep. And also you requested about how we will help our Mitochondria. That’s wonderful for Mitochondria. Excessive depth interval coaching is a biohack, too. And also you don’t even have to coach. You may practice quarter-hour thrice every week if you happen to’re doing it exhausting and nicely and get sufficient work on the market. In medication, we advocate 150 minutes every week of weights and cardio train for most people. I do far past that. I imply, like I stated, I practice jiu jitsu, and every single day I am going there, it’s like 2 hours, in all probability like three or 4 occasions every week, typically 5 occasions every week.
Once more, it goes again to what you talked about, too. You must have a look at your physique as an athlete, and it’s a must to refuel. Like, I’ll undoubtedly absorb a load of carbs after figuring out as a result of that’s whenever you want the carbs, it’s essential replenish your muscle storage or your Glycogen shops. And different biohacks, one of many best one other, moreover time up, a tremendous biohack is to whenever you get up within the morning, completely 100% don’t have a look at your telephone first as a result of the blue mild screws up your pineal gland and your circadian rhythms. Exit to sunshine very first thing within the morning. You must get sunshine in your face. It’s so, so vital. When you’re having hassle sleeping, let’s say you had hassle sleeping final night time, get up this morning. Very first thing you do is go get sunshine. Go sit within the solar for at the very least 5 minutes. And what that’ll do, that may assist reset your circadian rhythms. And that’s free. Such as you stated, you don’t must go purchase this or purchase that or purchase this. There’s a whole lot of biohacks that you are able to do which might be free.
One other biohack that I completely love is I used to be simply on a breath work summit that’s developing. I like buzzing and meditating after I’m meditating and respiration sorry, my nostril is tremendous stuffed up proper now, so I can’t however buzzing really prompts your parasympathetic nervous system and it’s similar to the Gregorian monks who they chant whenever you really feel that vibration by way of your physique, it prompts the parasympathetic nervous system and calms you down. When you’re having some nervousness or if you happen to’re having hassle sleeping at night time, you possibly can really lay in mattress and hum your self to sleep.
After which one other biohack, which I completely love as nicely, is respiration by way of your nostril. If you try this, it prompts nitric oxide in your physique, once more decreasing your blood strain. And whenever you breathe by way of your nostril, activate the nitric oxide and hum collectively. You get it like 160 fold improve in nitric oxide in your physique. And once more, nitric oxide is so, so essential that the man who who found it received a Nobel Prize in medication for it. So, I imply, that’s simply that these are the free, easy, simple biohacks.
One of many largest issues for me that’s been serving to quite a bit is meditation and yoga. And it’s a must to take outing of your busy life as a result of we’re all so darn busy, that it’s a must to take self time. You must mirror inward. You may’t discover happiness and peace and pleasure exterior till you possibly can mirror inward and discover it there.
Katie: Yeah, such a superb level on going inward as a result of what’s it saying? Wherever you go, there you might be. I’m studying and beginning to be comfy inside. However I like that you just highlighted for biohacks, those that really are free, that anyone can do, no matter the place you reside or no matter your life-style is, these are all issues we will combine. And I’ve executed an entire solo podcast, even on the significance of morning daylight and the way profound that’s. I feel usually the straightforward issues get underestimated as a result of they’re easy, however that one doesn’t price something, and it could possibly make an amazing distinction in your hormones. I’ve seen that play out for me, not simply in your cortisol, but additionally on thyroid hormone, in your sleep, your melatonin manufacturing at night time.
Similar factor with buzzing. I used to be fascinated when somebody beneficial that to me as a result of, such as you stated, it stimulates nitric oxide manufacturing, helps you get into parasympathetic. However for anybody like me who previously had thyroid points, it additionally may also help stimulate the thyroid gland and the vagus nerve. And after I began taking voice classes, paradoxically, my thyroid numbers began enhancing. So purely anecdotal. However I puzzled if it was a few of that precise motion stimulation of my vocal cords on the thyroid itself.
Additionally, simply to spotlight a few different belongings you stated, I like that you just talked about excessive affect exercise. That was such a liberating factor for me to comprehend in a world the place usually cardio is beneficial for ladies, like lengthy distance cardio, was that whenever you have a look at the statistics, issues like, I like sprinting now as a result of it doesn’t take very a lot time. Your precise time doing max effort will not be that a lot. And the outcomes are phenomenal. Like, I do know there’s unbelievable stats in regards to the elevated manufacturing of human progress hormone, of even issues like testosterone, which each women and men are low in as of late. And such as you stated, it may be executed in quarter-hour a few occasions every week. It’s not an enormous time funding, however the payoff is great.
I do know we additionally know that muscle is that they name it the organ of longevity. And that statistically, the extra muscle you have got, the much less probability of dying by all trigger mortality. And so constructing muscle as I grow old is a spotlight for me. And so I like that you just introduced up the issues which might be both cheap or free and straightforward to combine. And I completely agree, as a place to begin, that’s the place we start or the rest we do, we will’t out complement a nasty eating regimen, we will’t out complement poor sleep. That stated, if somebody does get these components dialed in, are there any extra superior methods that you just suppose might be useful in case particular eventualities?
Robert: That means in what approach?
Katie: Like every dietary supplements that you just usually advocate or any form of instruments past as soon as folks get their diet and their sleep and their primary components dialed in?
Robert: Yeah, I undoubtedly advocate I eat handfuls of dietary supplements. I used to imagine that handfuls of dietary supplements simply made actually costly urine. However the extra we have a look at it and the extra labs I see in my practical medication observe, everyone’s poor in magnesium, everyone’s low in vitamin D, everyone’s low in zinc, everyone’s low in all of those cofactors that we have to dwell a wholesome, optimum life. Everyone must be taking magnesium every single day. You may’t actually overdose on it. When you do, it’ll be a little bit little bit of diarrhea. We give pregnant ladies with preeclampsia 2 grams of magnesium IV. We now have to observe them as a result of you possibly can overdose them on that. You get, like, pulmonary edema, yada yada yada. However if you happen to’re taking, like, three magnesium capsules, complement capsules an evening, you’re not going to overdose on it.
My foundational medicines or dietary supplements are magnesium, vitamin D, K2-D3 . When you’re taking vitamin D, it’s a must to have K2 with it. And once more, I’ll clarify why. As a result of, like I stated, everyone’s nutrient poor, and it’s multifactorial. It’s as a result of our guts are so jacked up that lots of people can’t soak up vitamins. Nevertheless it’s additionally due to the manufacturing facility farming. They’re utilizing nitrogen fertilizers, which really bind the minerals and different issues within the vegetation to the vegetation. If you eat them, you possibly can’t assimilate them. The plant materials doesn’t need to allow them to go.
Most everyone’s in all probability poor in vitamin K2. And what’s actually, actually vital if you happen to’re taking vitamin D3, like, if you happen to can’t get sufficient daylight, try to be supplementing with vitamin D3. Everyone ought to have the vitamin D3 degree in America is 30 to 100. Okay? That’s a really broad vary. So I prefer to get my sufferers at about 70. And so if you happen to divide subtract 100 -30, it’s 70 divide, that in half, that’s 35. So I add that to the low quantity. So 30 plus 35 will get about 65. Everyone ought to have a vitamin D degree someplace in that vary. And vitamin D degree is so vital for thus many alternative metabolic processes in our physique -your immune system, your cognition, your pores and skin, your hair, your nails. It’s a cofactor in so many alternative enzymatic reactions.
However the issue is that folks may take simply straight up vitamin D3. What occurs is that mobilizes calcium in your physique, after which if you happen to don’t have sufficient vitamin K2 in your physique, that calcium will get deposited wherever your physique sees match. And that could possibly be in your kidneys or that could possibly be in your arterial, your blood vessels. I’ve seen X rays of older folks with their aorta. It appears to be like like a lead pipe proper, working down their stomach as a result of it’s completely calcified.
And so what vitamin K2 does it prompts osteoclass, octo, calcium, and says, hey, physique, put this calcium the place it’s imagined to go in your bones and your tooth. And so if you happen to’re taking a bunch of vitamin D3 with out K2, you’re really at a danger of getting kidney stones and coronary calcification. And in order that’s actually vital.
One other factor I actually like complement clever for my purchasers is cordyceps mushrooms. Actually helps with a number of totally different reactions within the physique, however it actually dietary supplements and helps the mitochondria and offers you power. I additionally am an enormous fan of lions mane mushrooms for cognition. If somebody’s acquired peripheral neuropathy, lions mane mushrooms, you possibly can take actually excessive doses of it, and that may assist with peripheral neuropathy. I’m making an attempt to think about what else? Yeah, I can stroll in and have a look at my closet or my cabinet. I’ve a whole lot of stuff.
One of many largest issues sorry, I do know you’re about to speak, is intestine well being. In my program, I’ve a complement. It’s a powder. It’s filled with glutamine and licorice and marshmallow to heal the intestine. And after I say the intestine, I don’t imply your abdomen. I imply your small gut. You bought to heal the small gut. In order that, like I stated earlier than, our intestine well being. In case you have poor intestine well being, you’re not going to assimilate and soak up vitamins such as you’re imagined to. So certainly one of my huge pushes in my program is to take away the issues which might be offending your guts and really heal your intestine well being. When you heal your intestine well being, you possibly can have a greater nutrient profile. Your irritation goes down. I imply, it drops tremendously. Your danger of autoimmune illness drops tremendously. As a result of I may go on and on and on.
Katie: Yeah, such a terrific level. I really feel just like the extra we be taught, the extra we all know know intestine well being impacts really all the pieces. And I really feel like you have got so many extra strategies than we will cowl in a 1 hour podcast. So I’ll be certain I put a number of hyperlinks to your work within the present, notes for you guys listening. That will probably be at wellnessmama.fm. However a few questions I like to ask towards the top of interviews. The primary being if there’s a e book or variety of books which have profoundly impacted you personally, and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.
Robert: One of many largest impacts of books in my life was Robb Wolf’s The Paleo Answer. It form of opened my eyes to the seriousness of intestine well being. After which it was simply the primary domino. After which I simply saved going and going and happening that path. And so it’s loopy.
And one other nice e book is I acquired two nice books proper right here. One Is Sickening by John Abramson. He’s a Harvard professor and talks about how dangerous the pharmaceutical business is. After which this one, which you elevate your eyebrows whenever you heard Metabolical. That is a tremendous e book. It’s actually info dense, so it took me a very long time to learn it. And I’m a physician, so if somebody buys it and also you begin studying it, simply maintain studying it. Simply maintain going, maintain going, maintain going. I’m making an attempt to consider different books, however these are a few my largest books which have influenced my life.
Katie: I’ll embody hyperlinks to these as nicely. I second what you stated about metabolical. Fascinating e book. Not a straightforward learn, however a number of wonderful info in it, so it’s a fairly dense one. Lastly, the place can folks discover you in the event that they need to continue learning from you? I do know you have got a program. The place can they discover you on-line?
Robert: www.empowermentmd.com. That’s my web site. On Fb, Empowerment MD. On Instagram. Empowerment MD. And on YouTube, Empowerment MD. And I’m going to be popping out with a e book right here, hopefully earlier than Christmas, and I’d like to get again on the podcast, discuss that, after which I’m rebranding. So I’m going to have an e-book on the market right here actual fast. I’ve acquired a few ebooks I’ve simply written and it’ll all be accessible on Empowerment MD.
Katie: Sounds nice. Effectively, thanks a lot for the time at this time and for all of the work that you just do. This has been a very enjoyable dialog. I do know there’s far more to be taught from you. So, like I stated, I’ll have hyperlinks to all of that within the present notes.
