Katie: Hi there, and welcome to The Wellness Mama Podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com, and this episode goes deep on mitochondria, why they’re so necessary, why we’re sick, what’s incorrect with our meals provide, and find out how to 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 Practical Medication. He’s a member of the American Academy for Antiaging Medication and the American School of Life-style Medication. And he has intensive coaching in practical medication, household medication, emergency medication, trauma surgical procedure, and demanding care, and has labored as an Integrative Doctor, Hospitalist, and Emergency Medication Doctor during the last 15 years.
However having seen firsthand the devastation left behind by our present Western Medication Mannequin, he knew he needed to do one thing completely 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 weight loss plan and life-style decisions impression well being and wellness. He’s very a lot an outdoor the field thinker. He integrates biohacking instruments, integrative and practical medication, and way more.
And on this episode, we go deep on why over 90% of Individuals are thought of sick, clinically sick, and have a minimum of 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 complete physique weight price of ATP each day. We speak about mitochondria and ATP and the way necessary they’re, how uric acid comes into play, about fatty liver illness, find out how to help our mitochondria, utterly free biohacks that make an amazing distinction, the dietary supplements he recommends, loads about vitamin and life-style elements, and a lot extra. So let’s be a 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: Nicely, I’m excited to leap into subjects like mitochondria and dissect a few of the issues that we’re hopefully conscious of with our trendy weight loss plan. However earlier than we get into that, I’ve a notice out of your bio that your first books have been written in fifth grade, and I might 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 in case you bear in mind the TV present Dallas. It was a fairly well-liked present manner again when. I’m completely relationship myself. But it surely was who killed Jr. It was an enormous episode, and for some motive, I really wrote a few books. Considered one of them was Rocky the Squirrel. It was form of a narrative a few 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 identify of the principal at my highschool or at my elementary college 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, they usually’re from fifth grade. However I don’t know. I’ve at all times needed to be a author for a very long time, and I’ve finished 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 might 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 plenty 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 bought inquisitive about well being after I learn, when my oldest baby was a new child, that for the primary time in two centuries, the present technology of American kids would have a shorter life expectancy than their mother and father. And since then, it looks like we’re seeing these destructive statistics proceed to rise. And it’s not a secret that every one of those well being situations 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 seen is in some instances when individuals go to Europe, they might eat most of the identical meals or meals they wouldn’t even usually eat and do higher than they’d within the US. And there’s plenty of discuss of the usual American weight loss plan, 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 charge?
Robert: Yeah, that’s a wonderful 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 mentioned 93.2% of all Individuals are sick. Metabolically in poor health, that 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. Principally, such as you simply mentioned about how that is the primary time when your kids usually are not going to be residing longer than their grownup than their mother and father, that is the primary time you may actually say each single grownup particular person 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 an enormous a part of America’s weight loss plan that whenever you eat excessive fructose corn syrup, it results in fatty liver illness. And the scary statistic there may be virtually 100 million individuals in America have non-alcoholic fatty liver illness, and that features 15% of all kids. Proper. And this is likely one of the the reason why you speak about your your youngsters usually are not going to be residing. I’m certain your youngsters are going to dwell longer than you since you’re instructing them find out how to dwell wholesome and accurately.
So 15% of all kids 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 might go on and on, however go forward and interrupt me anytime you wish 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 backwards and forwards.
Katie: Yeah. What I feel the understanding metabolic dysfunction and why so many individuals have a minimum of one symptom of that is such an necessary stepping stone and start line, as a result of we do know the hyperlinks between these signs of metabolic dysfunction and all the extra extreme illnesses that enhance your danger of dying from numerous causes. And I really feel like this one is to a big diploma ignored by standard medication for probably the most half. Typically the method is to attend until somebody has one among these extra critical situations.
However I additionally come from the assumption that signs are literally fantastic 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 might love so that you can perhaps are you able to clarify a few of the signs of metabolic dysfunction and what individuals have to search for and concentrate on in the event that they’re within the early levels of these?
Robert: Yeah, completely. Once more, like I mentioned, you possibly can have if 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, belly stomach fats, melancholy, nervousness. All of those are from metabolic syndrome. These are all metabolic signs which can 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 techniques of redundancy to maintain us wholesome.
I imply, give it some thought. Now we have 70 trillion cells in our physique, and each 2nd 25 million of them are dying and repopulating new ones. And you’ll feed your self rubbish meals. You may go to Taco Bell, Pizza Hut. Yada. Yada. Yada. You could possibly 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 illnesses, weight problems, diabetes. I name them diabesity as a result of they go so hand in hand. If you’re overweight, weight problems is instantly associated to 16 several types of most cancers. That proper there ought to scare the heck out of all people and say, I don’t wish to be overweight as a result of I don’t wish to be vulnerable to 16 extra cancers. And so all of it comes all the way down to and in case you go searching America proper now, all people’s just about form of like that film Fats, Sick, and Practically Useless, and we’re all strolling round like zombies. And it’s one thing that must be modified, like dramatically and instantaneously. And I wish to be part of that grassroots nice reset of serving to individuals notice, hey, this issues.
Katie: Yeah. And I really feel just like the actually optimistic a part of that message is that if it’s about meals and if it’s about non-communicable illnesses, these persistent illnesses, we even have an amazing quantity of energy to have an effect on these variables ourselves. And I say typically on the finish of the day, we’re every our personal main well being care supplier as a result of it’s our each day decisions and habits that make the distinction. And fortunately, there are superb practitioners such as you who’re keen to be individuals’s associate in changing into their very own well being care supplier and making higher decisions. But additionally to spotlight one thing, I feel that basically stood out to me in what you simply mentioned. And I feel this will get misplaced within the message in America on the subject of meals is we frequently take into consideration the quantity of meals and there’s plenty 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 way more now than I did initially 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 just isn’t talked about sufficient. And I feel this can be a large issue that we have to have a really deep, sincere dialog about as a result of referring to the Europe issue or different locations on the earth, 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 speak about a few of the large offenders in our meals provide which can be perhaps contributing to those metabolic points?
Robert: Completely. And that’s an amazing query as nicely. And one of many greatest 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 which you can 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 discovered lately is that what plenty 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 quicker. It doesn’t actually kill it. It kills it, nevertheless it’s additionally desiccant. It makes it dry out quicker. And so it makes it simpler for the machines to reap the wheat, and it makes it quicker for them to reap, which equals extra earnings. 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 gained $11 million as a result of he bought 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 might speak about, which I discover completely fascinating and simply superb. 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 facet. I might go on 5 – 6 extra issues about what else we eat and we are able to speak about 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 facet by facet comparisons of meals labels between the US. and different international locations and all of the components which can be put in the identical product right here, however not elsewhere.
I additionally know that statistically, our consumption of seed oils could be very excessive within the US. And that is one thing that didn’t even exist in our weight loss plan a few hundred years in the past. However are you able to stroll us by means of? As a result of this I really feel prefer it’s slightly 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 identify of vegetable oils. Nicely, 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 must 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 colour and it smells horrible. So that they have to scrub them with one other chemical after which they must deodorize them as a result of whenever you oxidize fat, they scent actually rancid. They scent 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 in your immune system to go heal that minimize. But it surely’s very transient. It comes and it goes with an harm, it goes away.
The omega three fatty acids are anti-inflammatory. And so in case you have a look at our ancestors, I’m an enormous, big fan of Loren Cordain, the Paleo weight loss plan man. My complete program, it’s all paleo. I dwell a paleo life-style. And I don’t say weight loss plan as a result of it’s greater than only a weight loss plan. It’s far more than a weight loss plan. It’s a way of life as a result of, and I say this to my purchasers on a regular basis, diets fail, however life don’t. So it’s a must to adapt. Undertake a well being life-style and you may be wholesome.
However in case you have a look at our ancestors, the cavemen, cave ladies, again once they have been foraging, their omega three to omega six ratio was one to 1. Right now, in the usual American weight loss plan, the omega six to omega three ratio is 19-20 to 1. So we’re having 19 or 20 instances the quantity of omega six fatty acids in our weight loss plan, which ends up in persistent irritation. In order that’s, I feel, in all probability the worst factor about it’s the chemical substances and the persistent irritation from the omega sixes.
Katie: Yeah, and I feel that’s the necessary factor to grasp that ratio and that’s typically not talked about sufficient, and understanding that the physique has to make use of no matter inputs we make obtainable 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 a minimum of some studies 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 might guess most individuals listening don’t take into account {that a} well being meals by any means. However I really feel such as you additionally do a extremely nice job of explaining why it may be so problematic, much more so than we’d assume.
Robert: Yeah, it’s actually poisonous. And I didn’t used to assume 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 plenty of sodas, however in case you 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 may be damaged down. And in case you 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 means of the cell, you routinely change into ATP depleted. It takes further ATP, which is the vitality forex 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 complete physique weight each day in ATP. And if you concentrate on it. It’s a microscopic molecule, and we make our complete physique weight price. So I’m making 155 kilos of ATP each day. Like I mentioned, it’s the vitality forex of the cell.
When fructose will get into the liver cell, it routinely eats a few further 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 completely different instructions. As soon as it goes within the liver cell, one among them really decreases the nitric oxide synthase obtainable to the remainder of the physique. And that’s actually necessary, as a result of I’m making an attempt to assume. 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 chargeable for so many issues. It’s such a beautiful molecule. And actually, I feel the gentleman who found it gained the Nobel Prize for locating nitric oxide as a result of it’s so necessary.
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 all people’s heard of uric acid. Nicely, not lots of people heard of uric acid, they usually affiliate that with gout. Okay? And what uric acid does, like I mentioned, 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, each day, I imply, there’s individuals 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, nevertheless it additionally decreases the nitric oxide synthase, resulting in hypertension. It additionally results in inserting fats deposits in your liver. It offers 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 means of the biochemical pathways that break it down. And that is all scientific reality.
That is all one thing I discovered from Robert Lustig, who wrote the e book Metabolical. And I’ve bought an amazing 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 possibly can simply see the sunshine bulbs going off over there, they usually’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 other ways, and we should always all keep away from it as a lot as doable.
Katie: Yeah. And I like that we’ve gotten to spotlight a few of the actually large offenders, and I do know that there are a lot 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 might love to modify focus now and likewise discuss in regards to the flip facet of this, which is knowing how a lot of our well being is impacted by these elements that we’re placing into our physique. Now we have super energy to have an effect on change in a optimistic course. And I do know you have got even an entire program associated to this, however I might like to undergo a few of the issues that we are able to do to optimize our well being in the correct course, to undo a few of this injury for individuals who have already got a few of these signs exhibiting up of their lives. So the place do you begin as a baseline method with that?
Robert: The firstly is I wish to give individuals hope which you can reverse persistent illness, you may get higher, you may dwell more healthy and happier. But it surely does take slightly little bit of effort in your half. It’s a must to cease feeding your physique horrible issues. In my program, I take away and exchange. It’s a six hour program. Take away and exchange, 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. It’s a must to 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 mentioned, individuals must take company. Such as you have been speaking about the way you’ve raised your youngsters to be actually unbiased and actually robust 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.
But it surely 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 in case you’re consuming actually dangerous rubbish, in case you’re consuming gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, excessive fructose corn syrup, synthetic sweeteners, you may eat all that and train till your legs fall off. You’re not going to drop a few pounds. It’s due to the biochemical pathways in our our bodies. Our our bodies don’t know what to do with plenty of these things.
And so plenty of instances, particularly like when you have got plenty 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 wish to return round again. My very first thing is I wish to give individuals hope as a result of there’s a lot dismal, dreadful data on the market at this time. However hope for me is making individuals, hope is an enormous driver of change. If you may get individuals that truly say, sure, I can do that, I can do that, there’s hope for me, they’re extra more likely to do the change. And so this is likely one of the issues I’m dealing with, is getting individuals to cease consuming sure issues. However then the following drawback I’m dealing with and making an attempt to deal with is by serving to individuals learn the way and what to eat.
Katie: Yeah, and I feel that’s big. 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 bear in mind the instances once they appeared unattainable to drop a few pounds even after I had my weight loss plan dialed in to some extent.
However now, of the liberty I really feel in understanding a lot better find out how to correctly nourish my physique, and I’m consuming such a much bigger quantity of meals, which interprets to extra vitality I’m capable of work out extra successfully. So I really feel like the beauty of that is we are able to both go within the course of the destructive suggestions loop or the optimistic suggestions loop. And the physique, such as you mentioned, is so nice at adapting and therapeutic, and that’s what it needs to do. And it looks like your method is concentrated on giving individuals the steps and the instruments to vary that suggestions loop and to maneuver in a optimistic course. So what are a few of these core meals that you simply give attention to and or what comes after that? Is it dietary supplements? Is it life-style elements? What do you add after the vitamin piece?
Robert: After I get individuals to take away and exchange, what I get them to interchange with is Complete 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 might speak about and regenerative farming. We’d like regenerative farming and manufacturing facility farming must go away.
However grass fed meat, there’s plenty of discuss, there’s plenty of BS on the market about Oh, cows are chargeable 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 they usually assist exchange carbon within the soil. And so, like I mentioned, we’ve 25 sheep out in my yard proper now. I’ve 15 chickens that I take advantage of 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 plenty 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 necessary. After which phytonutrients, you want tons and tons of phytonutrients. After I say that, that’s vitamins from crops. And I attempt to get my purchasers to eat the rainbow. Eat as many alternative colours meals as you may. Reds, greens, yellows, whites, pale yellows, pale inexperienced, purple. And every a type of phytonutrients, every a type of colours represents a particular phytonutrient in there that may enable you together with your well being.
Katie: Yeah, very a lot in alignment with you on that. I really feel like including in actually top quality protein and getting extra of it was an enormous consider my vitality ranges.

And earlier on, you talked about mitochondria. And I didn’t know that stat about how a lot ATP we make each day. I knew it was loads, however I didn’t realize it was our physique weight, which is unimaginable. Which brings the query, what are some ways in which we are able to help our mitochondria and help the manufacturing of ATP and optimize that inside our our bodies?
Robert: Yeah, that’s query, too. Mitochondria. Lots of people don’t know what mitochondria are. They’re mainly the nuclear reactor vitality producers in every one among our cells. And in case you return to eighth grade biology, we speak about 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 assume there was just one mitochondria per cell, proper? However that’s utterly incorrect.
There are quadrillions of mitochondria in our physique. Okay, so, identical form of idea in regards to the ATP, how a lot we make. It’s thoughts blowing. Now we 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, each 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 may have in every one of many cells. Like, one coronary heart cell might need 10,000 mitochondria in it in an effort 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 automotive. It’s what offers you vitality, what propels you ahead. However it’s a must to feed it gasoline in your engine. And the engine additionally makes exhaust. And so for our mitochondria, it’s a must to feed it actually top quality meals breakdown merchandise. And it additionally does make exhaust within the type of reactive oxygen species, which may really, in case you get an excessive amount of, that is what antioxidants deal with 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 weight loss plan? Your mitochondria usually are not getting all the substrates that they want. And so that you requested about how one can enhance the standard and vitality from the mitochondria and how one can defend it. Before everything is what I like to recommend to all people is time optimized consuming. I’m eliminating the time period in my program, time restricted feeding, or intermittent fasting, as a result of no one 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 each day. I imply, it’s 12:00. I haven’t eaten since yesterday at 8:30, and I do this each day. I quick a minimum of 16 hours each day, and I like to recommend that to all people. There’s a neurologist, David Perlmutter, who’s amazingly good on the subject of Alzheimer’s and neurocognitive well being, and he mentioned on the Hyman podcast, all people must quick 12 hours a day, minimal. And right here’s a caveat, although, and I don’t wish to be telling individuals all people has to quick as a result of there’s some individuals 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. When you’ve got Cachexia, which is a really, very low BMI from, like, perhaps persistent illness, you shouldn’t be fasting. When you’ve got a earlier historical past of an consuming dysfunction, you shouldn’t be fasting except it’s beneath a physician’s supervision. However time optimized consuming is likely one of the most completely fantastic 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 at all times thought, like, time restricted feeding did really feel like what we’d do with animals or mice in a lab, not what people would do, however to your level, two issues that I’ve seen an enormous distinction personally from switching my mindset round have been as an alternative of specializing in energy or quantity of meals consumed, I simply attempt to give attention to 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 each 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 greatest with us inside that. However for me personally, I seen 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 plenty 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 a minimum of 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 offers. However in case you eat in a restricted window, you may typically 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 on the whole. 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, in case you 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 crucial. I’m not going to inform somebody, okay, begin doing time optimized consuming, nevertheless it’s okay to go eat McDonald’s and Taco Bell and yada yada, yada. You continue to have to actually be conscientious about what you mentioned, 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 at all times make our personal meals. We at all times 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 might simply energy on meat loads.
But it surely’s additionally crucial that when you find yourself consuming and whenever you’re doing the time optimized consuming, that you simply do have nutrient dense meals. And that’s so, so necessary.
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 do 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 ensure that of this, eat your whole energy in that eight hour window or a six hour window, and it’s crucial that you simply eat your whole energy. Like, for me, I experience filth bikes, I prepare 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 each day. And so it’s crucial that you simply do this.
Katie: Yeah, that’s such an amazing level. And I feel for me, one other useful shift that in all probability traces up together with your mindset based mostly on what you simply mentioned, is I began studying to assume 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 change earlier than I really began doing something associated to train as a result of I spotted in working with elite athletes, they’ve this completely completely different mindset of how they associated to their our bodies, they usually centered on fueling optimally, recovering optimally, which is a big blind spot. I really feel like for lots of people, their sleep, like all these items grew to become foundationally necessary as a result of it associated to what’s additionally their job. However I discovered 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 all people’s within the subsequent fashionable factor, and I feel there’s very a lot time and a spot for these and they are often very invaluable instruments. However the foundational issues have to come back first as a result of then in case you’re going so as to add the biohacks, they work higher anyway. So earlier than somebody spends some huge cash on a crimson mild, make daylight an everyday a part of your routine, or morning daylight. Before you purchase a sauna, be sure you are getting motion each day. Earlier than you’re shopping for some costly gadgets, ensure that your sleep is dialed in, after which all of these issues are going to work higher anyway. I do know you even have an amazing method to the biohacking facet since that’s such a stylish phrase proper now. So I might 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 mentioned, you bought to get the foundational stuff dialed in first. I’m not going to go and purchase some crimson 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 wish to biohack. The simplest biohack on the earth is time optimized consuming interval. Okay.
One other one is top quality sleep. You bought to have top quality sleep. And also you requested about how we are able to help our Mitochondria. That’s superb for Mitochondria. Excessive depth interval coaching is a biohack, too. And also you don’t even have to coach. You may prepare quarter-hour 3 times every week in case you’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 mentioned, I prepare jiu jitsu, and each day I am going there, it’s like 2 hours, in all probability like three or 4 instances every week, typically 5 instances every week.
Once more, it goes again to what you talked about, too. It’s a must to 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, you should replenish your muscle storage or your Glycogen shops. And different biohacks, one of many best one other, in addition to 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. It’s a must to get sunshine in your face. It’s so, so necessary. When you’re having bother sleeping, let’s say you had bother sleeping final evening, get up this morning. Very first thing you do is go get sunshine. Go sit within the solar for a minimum of 5 minutes. And what that’ll do, that may assist reset your circadian rhythms. And that’s free. Such as you mentioned, you don’t have to go purchase this or purchase that or purchase this. There’s plenty of biohacks that you are able to do which can 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 respiratory 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 means of your physique, it prompts the parasympathetic nervous system and calms you down. When you’re having some nervousness or in case you’re having bother sleeping at evening, you may really lay in mattress and hum your self to sleep.
After which one other biohack, which I completely love as nicely, is respiratory by means of your nostril. If you do this, it prompts nitric oxide in your physique, once more decreasing your blood strain. And whenever you breathe by means of your nostril, activate the nitric oxide and hum collectively. You get it like 160 fold enhance in nitric oxide in your physique. And once more, nitric oxide is so, so crucial that the man who who found it gained a Nobel Prize in medication for it. So, I imply, that’s simply that these are the free, easy, simple biohacks.
One of many greatest issues for me that’s been serving to loads is meditation and yoga. And it’s a must to take day trip of your busy life as a result of we’re all so darn busy, that it’s a must to take self time. It’s a must to mirror inward. You may’t discover happiness and peace and pleasure exterior till you may mirror inward and discover it there.
Katie: Yeah, such level on going inward as a result of what’s it saying? Wherever you go, there you’re. I’m studying and beginning to be snug inside. However I like that you simply 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 are able to combine. And I’ve finished an entire solo podcast, even on the significance of morning daylight and the way profound that’s. I feel typically the straightforward issues get underestimated as a result of they’re easy, however that one doesn’t value 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 in addition on thyroid hormone, in your sleep, your melatonin manufacturing at evening.
Identical factor with buzzing. I used to be fascinated when somebody advisable that to me as a result of, such as you mentioned, it stimulates nitric oxide manufacturing, helps you get into parasympathetic. However for anybody like me who up to now had thyroid points, it additionally can assist stimulate the thyroid gland and the vagus nerve. And after I began taking voice classes, mockingly, 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 mentioned, I like that you simply talked about excessive impression exercise. That was such a liberating factor for me to comprehend in a world the place typically cardio is advisable for girls, 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 just isn’t that a lot. And the outcomes are phenomenal. Like, I do know there’s unimaginable stats in regards to the elevated manufacturing of human development hormone, of even issues like testosterone, which each women and men are low in nowadays. And such as you mentioned, it may be finished in quarter-hour a few instances every week. It’s not an enormous time funding, however the payoff is super.
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 become old is a spotlight for me. And so I like that you simply introduced up the issues which can be both cheap or free and simple to combine. And I completely agree, as a place to begin, that’s the place we start or anything we do, we are able to’t out complement a nasty weight loss plan, we are able to’t out complement poor sleep. That mentioned, if somebody does get these elements dialed in, are there any extra superior methods that you simply assume may be useful in case particular eventualities?
Robert: Which means in what manner?
Katie: Like all dietary supplements that you simply typically advocate or any form of instruments past as soon as individuals get their vitamin and their sleep and their primary elements 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 follow, all people’s poor in magnesium, all people’s low in vitamin D, all people’s low in zinc, all people’s low in all of those cofactors that we have to dwell a wholesome, optimum life. All people ought to be taking magnesium each day. You may’t actually overdose on it. When you do, it’ll be slightly little bit of diarrhea. We give pregnant ladies with preeclampsia 2 grams of magnesium IV. Now we have to watch them as a result of you may overdose them on that. You get, like, pulmonary edema, yada yada yada. However in case you’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 mentioned, all people’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 take up vitamins. But it surely’s additionally due to the manufacturing facility farming. They’re utilizing nitrogen fertilizers, which really bind the minerals and different issues within the crops to the crops. If you eat them, you may’t assimilate them. The plant materials doesn’t wish to allow them to go.
Most all people’s in all probability poor in vitamin K2. And what’s actually, actually necessary in case you’re taking vitamin D3, like, in case you can’t get sufficient daylight, you need to be supplementing with vitamin D3. All people ought to have the vitamin D3 degree in America is 30 to 100. Okay? That’s a really broad vary. So I wish to get my sufferers at about 70. And so in case you 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. All people ought to have a vitamin D degree someplace in that vary. And vitamin D degree is so necessary for therefore 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 individuals might take simply straight up vitamin D3. What occurs is that mobilizes calcium in your physique, after which in case you don’t have sufficient vitamin K2 in your physique, that calcium will get deposited wherever your physique sees match. And that may very well be in your kidneys or that may very well be in your arterial, your blood vessels. I’ve seen X rays of older individuals with their aorta. It seems like a lead pipe proper, operating 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 in case you’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 necessary.
One other factor I actually like complement clever for my purchasers is cordyceps mushrooms. Actually helps with numerous completely different reactions within the physique, nevertheless it actually dietary supplements and helps the mitochondria and offers you vitality. I additionally am an enormous fan of lions mane mushrooms for cognition. If somebody’s bought peripheral neuropathy, lions mane mushrooms, you may 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 plenty of stuff.
One of many greatest 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 stuffed 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 mentioned earlier than, our intestine well being. When you’ve got poor intestine well being, you’re not going to assimilate and take up vitamins such as you’re imagined to. So one among my large pushes in my program is to take away the issues which can be offending your guts and truly heal your intestine well being. When you heal your intestine well being, you may 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 might go on and on and on.
Katie: Yeah, such an amazing level. I really feel just like the extra we be taught, the extra we all know know intestine well being impacts really every little thing. And I really feel like you have got so many extra strategies than we are able to cowl in a 1 hour podcast. So I’ll ensure that I put numerous hyperlinks to your work within the present, notes for you guys listening. That might 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 greatest impacts of books in my life was Robb Wolf’s The Paleo Resolution. 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 stored going and going and taking place that path. And so it’s loopy.
And one other nice e book is I bought two nice books proper right here. One Is Sickening by John Abramson. He’s a Harvard professor and talks about how dangerous the pharmaceutical trade is. After which this one, which you elevate your eyebrows whenever you heard Metabolical. That is a tremendous e book. It’s actually data 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 preserve studying it. Simply preserve going, preserve going, preserve going. I’m making an attempt to consider different books, however these are a few my greatest books which have influenced my life.
Katie: I’ll embrace hyperlinks to these as nicely. I second what you mentioned about metabolical. Fascinating e book. Not a simple learn, however numerous superb data in it, so it’s a fairly dense one. Lastly, the place can individuals discover you in the event that they wish to continue to learn 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, speak about that, after which I’m rebranding. So I’m going to have an book on the market right here actual fast. I’ve bought a few ebooks I’ve simply written and it’ll all be obtainable on Empowerment MD.
Katie: Sounds nice. Nicely, thanks a lot for the time at this time and for all of the work that you simply do. This has been a extremely enjoyable dialog. I do know there’s way more to be taught from you. So, like I mentioned, I’ll have hyperlinks to all of that within the present notes.
