Dr Tommy Wood -Optimal Health & Wellness - Diet, Exercise and Your Environment with 06/11/2018

Dr Tommy Wood -Optimal Health & Wellness - Diet, Exercise and Your Environment with Tommy Wood is the chief medical officer of Nourish Balance Thrive, a company that developed a science-based, personalized support program to help clients regain their optimal performance through various lifestyle changes. Before he found the path to fitness and wellness, Tommyâs idea of a health routine involved lots of TV time and a pack of cookies. He escaped that life when he went to college to get a degree in biochemistry, worked as a traditional doctor of medicine, and obtained a PhD in physiology and neuroscience. He has since worked with many clients and helped them get their lives back. Today, Tommy shares his thoughts on the importance of sleep, what he thinks real food should be made of, and why getting a six-pack now might not be great for long-term. "It's very difficult to do circadian rhythm and sleep by brute force.â Dr. Tommy Wood In this episode, youâll learn: If a client hits a plateau, it's usually the environment than exercise and diet. Circadian rhythm is important for long term wellness. It's not just about avoiding blue light, but also getting a lot of sunlight during the day. It's important to have a tailored fit into your wellness routine. Eating seasonally is eating the way the body is designed to eat. Where you are and what grows locally there tell you what you should be eating. Be your own health advocate and watch out for biased articles or studies. Even Olive oil products can be adulterated and become unhealthy for consumption. Do your research and make sure it's all made of olive oil. If you are trying to get a certain performance in a certain sport, then some form of excess training is fine, but what you may be training might not be good for you in the long term. Tommy shares what The Upside Down Movement Pyramid is all about. Strength and muscle mass are some of the best predictors of longevity. When it comes to following advice from someone in social media, be careful. What someone projects and what's going on under the hood is not the same thing. Looking online for answers or being part of a community is okay, but don't forget to have personal connections outside the internet. The earlier you build these relationships, the better. Key Takeaways: Youâre better off being strong and healthy for 70-80 years rather than have a six-pack now and go down from there. Anything that doesn't come in a package or cook from a single ingredient is real food. If it comes in a box, don't buy it. When you spend so much time on social media, you won't get deep connection or purpose you need for long term health. Find some human interaction.

Health, Wellness and Fitness - How to not break your metabolism and lose weight 05/11/2018

Health, Wellness and Fitness - How to not break your metabolism and lose weight Yuri Elkaim is a popular name in the world of health and nutrition, but it wasn’t like that before. In fact, Yuri was practically clueless when it came to nutrition, but he did love sports especially soccer/football. His life changing moment was when he realized his bouts of hair loss were brought about by an autoimmune issue called alopecia. Doctors couldn’t explain why, so he thought he would live the rest of his life hairless. It wasn’t until he learned about holistic nutrition that he ended up curing himself. He has since strived to help those around him, to give them hope that there is still a way to treat whatever health issues they might have. Today, Yuri tells us his story of how he became the Yuri we know now, his thoughts on the whole “Metabolism is like a fireplace” analogy, why he thinks fasting is good for you, the importance of sleep when it comes to making decisions, and why we should learn to decipher when we’re hungry and when we’re full without relying on an eating schedule. “There's no law that says 'thou shall have to do cardio after my weight training.'” Yuri Elkaim In this episode, you’ll learn: The typical North American diet is not healthy at all. The fireplace analogy on metabolism is a myth. Eating all the time to "stoke the flames" won't help you lose weight. In fact, it might lead to more unnecessary weight gain and energy crashing. Metabolism is the sum of all the breakdown and buildup in your body; catabolism and anabolism. 70% of the calories you burn come from BMR or the calories burned at rest. This is heavily dependent on lean muscle mass. If you want to lose weight you have to pack on some muscle. It’s a long-term approach to not just weight loss but overall wellness too. Fasting is not starving yourself. When done right, you can fast regularly aka intermittent fasting. People can be psychologically hungry or physiologically hungry. Psychologically hunger is triggered by environmental or emotional cues to make you feel comfortable in certain situations. Listening to your body can mean not eating at the usual time; breakfast at 1 PM is when you break your fast. Too much cardio crushes your thyroid and the problem is not the exercises themselves but the duration and frequency. Endurance cardio is not exactly the ideal form of exercise for long-term. Leptin and Ghrelin are hunger hormones sensitive to sleep. Leptin tells you to stop eating and Ghrelin tells you to keep eating. Less sleep produces more ghrelin and reduces leptin. Key Takeaways: Eat when you’re hungry and stop when your full. You have to be aware "when" you’re hungry. Women shouldn't be worried about building muscle as they are not as naturally capable of bulking compared to men. When you sleep, try to make the room a lot like a dark, cold tomb. It’ll boost the quality of your sleep more than sleeping in a warm room penetrated by light.

Health, Wellness & Longvevity via Investing in Your Own Body with Krisstina Wise Healthcare, Healthy living via being your own health, wellness and longevity advocate 04/20/2018

Health, Wellness & Longvevity via Investing in Your Own Body with Krisstina Wise Healthcare, Healthy living via being your own health, wellness and longevity advocate Krisstina Wise is known as a real estate genius, financial coach, and podcast host. She was always a go-getter, making sure she makes use of her time and money in the most efficient ways possible to not only accomplish her goals, but also make sure her successes lead to money and lots of it. She achieved what she set out to do, but at the cost of her own health. She has since embarked on the journey to learn more about how to keep her health in line with her goals as well, as how to be always in touch with her inner self, despite all things that may cause distractions. Today, Krisstina talks about her health journey, her opinions on our healthcare system, and her tips on how people can invest in their health according to what they expect their body to accomplish. "If you were a billionaire you'd give your last billion dollars to get your health back if that's what it cost.” Krisstina Wise In this episode, you’ll learn: Krisstina was always going for the hustle and it yielded magnificent results. This model worked well until it didn’t and shortly found herself in her death bed just days after celebrating her recent accomplishments. She thought she was the epitome of good health with what she knew about health and wellness before being in her death bed. She was so into accomplishments and social circles that she overlooked her health. In the end, she consulted with a functional practitioner and cost her $250,000.00 to get her life back on track. She spent $250,000.00 because her body was her best asset. She realized none of her achievements mattered compared to her family and her own health and personal happiness. She also realized we should change the way we approach our healthcare system. We invest very little in our health; our body is our number one asset. When we don't have our body we can't make money or live a meaningful life. She also likened the way we should care for our body to how we care for cars. Our body is meant to go fast but we also have to make sure we invest in their constant maintenance to perform at that level. She says people have three freedoms to achieve: Political, Health, and Financial freedom. Key Takeaways: Money matters more than anything but it’s not about the money. You have to know how much money is enough. When you’re able to quantify that, you become more content with life. When your health is taken away there is no freedom. Invest on your health based on how much your body, your main asset, is worth.

Paleo Diet, Primal Living and Optimal Health & Wellness 04/18/2018

Paleo Diet, Primal Living and Optimal Health & Wellness Tara Grant, also known as Primal Girl, has been living an ancestral lifestyle since 2009. Her story wasnât all rainbows and butterflies, though, as she also struggled with her weight and her own body issues all throughout her life. Before she knew of the Paleo diet, she tried other fad diets which literally did nothing for her. Even the doctors didnât know what to do with her condition. It wasnât until she read about living a Paleo lifestyle that she finally managed to bring about a huge transformation. She has since actively told her story, her struggles and successes, so she can serve as an inspiration to others. In todayâs episode, Tara talks about the many changes she's made to transform herself, her own fitness inspirations, and her story of how she changed her life from being a 260 lbs. struggling dieter to a 143 lbs. personal trainer. âListen to your gut, to yourself. If something works or doesn't work for you then that's true for you.â Tara Grant In this episode, youâll learn: The many fad diets she tried that didnât work despite her fondness of training and dieting. What book inspired her to revise her lifestyle for the better. She felt so weak and riddled with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, it was like she was an 80-year-old in her 20âs. Her body had insulin issues so the Paleo diet was perfect due to the low carb requirement. She went full paleo overnight. Having too much dairy in your diet might be whatâs causing you many health problems. Full functional movement, with or without weights, is better than using machines. Being able to bend over and touch your toes is a pretty good indication of health. The importance of sleeping and waking up in a more ânaturalâ manner. Eliminating blue light is the best practice before sleep. Be more social outside your phone. Physical human interaction is a necessity for our survival as a species. Key Takeaways: We're the only mammals that think we need milk after nursing so try and see what happens when you remove all forms of dairy for at least 30 days.

Dave Asprey - Headstrong, Biohacking Mitochondrial Health for optimal Health & Wellness 04/13/2018

Dave Asprey - Headstrong, Biohacking Mitochondrial Health for optimal Health & Wellness Head Strong Book & Optimizing Mitochondrial Health and Wellness with Dave Asprey Dave Asprey is the founder of Bulletproof Exec, a company geared towards biohacking to make sure the human body not only functions optimally, but ages slowly too. Before the invention of the now famous Bulletproof coffee, Dave was just another man walking the halls of Silicon Valley who once weighed a total of 300 unhealthy pounds. That was 20 years ago and he has since lost 100 pounds. He devoted his life to health and longevity and spent 15 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars hacking his own biology. Today, Dave talks about his new book called Head Strong, the reason why he wrote that book, his latest findings, and why he is now one of mitochondriaâs biggest fans. "I changed breakfast for millions of people using biohacking.â Dave Asprey In this episode, youâll learn: The Bulletproof Diet teaches you how to eat to have more energy and power with weight loss as a side effect. His new book explains why the Bulletproof diet works. When you know how mitochondria works, walking barefoot makes sense, cold bathing makes sense. Neurons in the brain prefer ketones, but glial cells prefer glucose more than ketones. Our brain has thousands more mitochondria than the whole body. Light is terribly important for mitochondrial health. You can get energy from melanin, not just in your skin, but also in your brain and eyes. Mitochondrial dysfunction can also be called aging. Key Takeaways: Mitochondria are the ones calling the shots, not you. Your mitochondria listen to your phone and Wi-Fi. The mitochondria are the smallest unit of consciousness in the body and the fastest bio sensors.

Tyler LeBaron - Molecular Hydrogen for optimal health, wellness & longevity - Part 2 Tyler LeBaron - Part 2 of 2 Tyler W. LeBaron is the Founder and Executive Director of the science-based nonprofit Molecular Hydrogen Foundation/Institute. His background is in biochemistry and was a 1-year Adjunct Instructor of Physiology. He Interned at Nagoya University in the department of Neurogenetics to research the molecular mechanisms of hydrogen gas on cell signaling pathways. He is a director of the International Hydrogen Standards Association (IHSA) and the International Molecular Hydrogen Association (IMHA). He speaks at Medical conferences in the US for doctors CMEs/CEUs, and at academic biomedical hydrogen symposia and conferences around the world. He is also a member of the Academic Committee of Taishan Institute for Hydrogen Biomedical Research. He collaborates with researchers at home and abroad, and helps advance the education, research, and awareness of hydrogen as a therapeutic medical gas. Molecular hydrogen (H2) or diatomic hydrogen is a tasteless, odorless, flammable gas. Over 500 peer-reviewed articles demonstrate hydrogen to have therapeutic potential in essentially every organ of the human body and in 150 different human disease models. H2 reduces oxidative stress as a selective antioxidant and by maintaining homeostatic levels of glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase, etc. H2, like other gaseous signaling molecules (i.e. NO, CO, H2S), appears to have cell signal-modulating activity affording it with anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, and anti-allergy benefits.

Lisa Perkins - Hormone Health & Weight Loss for Women and Men - Ketogenic vs. Paleo Nutrition 03/26/2018

Lisa Perkins - Hormone Health & Weight Loss for Women and Men - Ketogenic vs. Paleo Nutrition Lisa Perkins is a health coach who once suffered from common health issues regarding her weight and had bouts of depression and anxiety. She figured out ways to get the weight off, but she did them in ways she doesnât consider healthy. It wasnât until she was in her late 30âs that she decided to finally take a hold of her life and learn about how to be healthy, not just for her sake of it, but also so she can be a good example to her children. Today, Lisa gives us her thoughts on how we should listen to our body more, what she thinks are necessary when starting a healthy lifestyle, and provide a few tips on some basic health guidelines that most people should not have any trouble following. "Our body's talking to us all the time and we literally stopped listening.â Lisa Perkins In this episode, youâll learn: We have this mindset that makes us follow gurus and attempt to copy their health template word-per-word. What many people donât know is there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a healthy lifestyle. Short-term health strategies yield short-term results. We only have one stress bucket and people should be careful not to fill it to the brim. We equate diet and exercise with deprivation and pain. A ketogenic diet is beneficial but it won't work as good if you're always stressed. There are so many approaches and a ketogenic diet is just one of the tools in the toolbox. A keto diet requires lots of tracking and monitoring. Lisa says a good way to start a healthy diet is by eating 30-40g high quality protein each meal, fill at least half the plate with organic, non-starchy vegetables, and 2 tbsp. of natural fat. The goal is to reduce and totally eliminate packaged or processed food. Key Takeaways: We need to build self-awareness; we need to rebuild relationships with ourselves. When it comes to embarking on a health journey, acceptance, curiosity, and patience is necessary. We have an evolutionary mismatch on how we were designed to live as humans and what society tells us all the time.

Sleep, Wellness and Optimal Health for Children and Toddlers with Dr Lindsay Henderson Final 03/23/2018

Sleep, Wellness and Optimal Health for Children and Toddlers with Dr Lindsay Henderson Final Dr. Lindsay Henderson is a clinical psychologist and currently the assistant director of Psychological Services at American Well. Before her position as assistant director, Lindsay worked as Staff Psychologist in the Child and Adolescent Division at McLean Hospital and also has experience in Harvard Medical School as Clinical Instructor. Her work revolves around adolescents and helping them cope with distress and emotional difficulty. Today, Lindsay talks about how today’s kids and young adolescents suffer stress primarily due to lack of sleep brought on by excessive use of smart phones and tablets. She also gives tips to parents regarding how to properly handle their kids’ relationship with technology. “Our technology progresses much more than parenting can keep up with.” Dr. Lindsay Henderson In this episode, you’ll learn: There is a dysfunction in parenting in today’s society particularly on sleep issues with children. Advances and changes in society make it difficult for kids and adolescents to learn how to get to sleep and stay asleep for a good amount of time. Integrating technology in children's lives safely and healthily is not as fast as advancements in technology. We should not have phones and tablets before bedtime. Constant access to technology provides a constant stimulation which results to a child never truly learning to tolerate their own thoughts or emotions by themselves, especially because social media is addictive. Kids constantly have tablets or phones that turn their attention away from the task at hand. They never learn how to focus on one thing. Families should implement tech-free time in the household. Tech-free time in the morning before school is important as it sets the tone of the day in our brains to go forth engaging mindfully with one task at a time. Emotional skillset may not develop and cultivate when kids turn their attention towards technology use. Sleep is a challenging task emotionally. Sleep is the ultimate separation from reality as we are vulnerable when we close our eyes for hours at a time. When people are unable to develop skills to tolerate separation it can be difficult to get yourself ready to sleep. Poor quantity of sleep correlates (not causes) trying drugs and alcohol at an earlier age. Key Takeaways: Sleep is something that needs to be worked on constantly. It's a habit that needs to be practiced and developed.

Dr. Brooke Kalanick - Optimized Hormone Health & Wellness for Women. Dealing with Gallbladder and Thyroid challenges - Part 2 03/21/2018

Dr. Brooke Kalanick - Optimized Hormone Health & Wellness for Women. Dealing with Gallbladder and Thyroid challenges - Part 2 Dr. Brooke Kalanick - Optimized Hormone Health & Wellness for Women. Dealing with Gallbladder and Thyroid challenges - Part 2 Dr. Brooke Kalanick is a Naturopathic Doctor and a functional health practitioner. She says sheâs a primary-care doctor with a specialty in alternative medicine. She and her co-practitioners arenât like conventional doctors in that they treat patients based on history, diet, lifestyle, and lots of blood work. Her focus is towards helping women with hormonal issues, weight loss, and other issues most women experience on a day-to-day basis. Today, Brooke tells us what her and her practice is all about, how they differ from conventional doctors, and her own thoughts and opinions on conventional medicine and the healthcare system. "We mistake common for normal.â Dr. Brooke Kalanick In this episode, youâll learn: Conventional medicine is often all about treating the current symptom. What they donât do very well is taking a look at the why of a patientâs health. The body will downregulate anything that it makes once we give it a replacement. Conventional practitioners arenât trained to work the way naturopaths do. Some doctors are working for insurance companies. They want to help patients but the system is broken and it doesnât serve doctor nor the patient for them to do good medicine. It's not the conventional practitioner that doesn't want you healthy but just how the system works. We think a lot of the things that happen to our bodies is normal because itâs common, because so many people do it or suffer for it, we mistake it as something that we shouldnât be concerned about. Iodine will increase autoimmune response in many people. Just because it's good for your thyroid doesn't mean it's good for the whole body. Holistic doctors go more in depth when it comes to treating people's illnesses. Nothing gets fixed without proper sleep. Get back to doing things that nurture your body and help you and your body work together. Key Takeaways: We have to think of our health insurance like we treat car insurance. You can have emergencies covered by health insurance but the small things arenât; there must always be a certain level of maintenance. There's no reason you should be miserable with your healthcare. Be your own advocate for getting proper care. Get to the root cause. Make smarter decisions and take things seriously, don't have that "they will be time for me later" mindset. You're worth the time, attention, and finances to take care of yourself now.

Vivica Menegaz - Optimized Nutrition & Diet recommendations for Paleo / Keto Diet 03/16/2018

Vivica Menegaz - Optimized Nutrition & Diet recommendations for Paleo / Keto Diet Vivica is a nutritionist, blogger, and a ketogenic cookbook author. Her fondness of the ketogenic diet stemmed from not just targeted learning experiences and seminars but also from how she used it to bounce back from a pre-diabetic state. She also realized the need for ketogenic research and practitioners, so she has since offered lifestyle programs centered around the ketogenic diet. Today, Vivica tells us how an average person can get started with a ketogenic diet, why she thinks a diet by macros aren’t ideal, and why she is strongly against dairy in any diet. " When you have serious, underlying health issues, your macros aren't going to fix it.” Vivica Menegaz In this episode, you’ll learn: There are many ways to “attack” a ketogenic diet. There are no one-size fits all approach. A ketogenic diet just means some macro nutrient ratios; it doesn't really tell you what you should be eating. Most ketogenic diet fans were motivated with weight loss. Vivica did it so she can bounce back from being a pre-diabetic. A standard ketogenic diet is high in dairy, Vivica promotes a Keto-Paleo approach because dairy products interfere with hormonal production. The basis of a keto-paleo diet is founded on high quality, nutrient dense food. It also has to be locally sourced and organic. Don't be obsessed with macros, focus on food quality. Auto-immune disease is common but it's not really a disease but a phase of disease. Every disease will go to an auto immune phase if left unchecked. A ketogenic diet is an ultra-low carb diet and it might not work for someone if they were to go with it for long-term. A good way to circumvent this is by doing a cyclical ketogenic diet. Key Takeaways: Ask yourself if any food is designed for humans. Milk in cartons are usually for cows or goats. You don't have to get the perfect diet right away but the quality of food you get is important. Connect with Vivica Menegaz: Mentioned in this episode: book by Loren Cordain, PH.D.

Biohacking Sleep for Optimized Health, Wellness & Longevity - FitFluential Deep Dive - Pt 2 03/14/2018

Biohacking Sleep for Optimized Health, Wellness & Longevity - FitFluential Deep Dive - Pt 2 Alex Fergus -Sleep Dive Part 2 To a lot of people, Alex Fergus is a health and fitness coach but before all that, he was first a typical rugby fan and a rowing competitor from New Zealand. His fitness enthusiasm eventually made him compete in the world of bodybuilding which gave him his fair share of awards and recognition. Today, Alex will talk about one of FitFluential Radio’s favorite topics: Sleep. He’ll give us the low down on the science behind sleep, how we can optimize our sleeping habits, and his tips on how to reset your circadian rhythm. "Too many people get caught up with short-term gains even if it comes at the expense of long term benefits and performance.” Alex Fergus In this episode, you’ll learn: When it comes to weight training, people often sacrifice rest and recovery for short term benefits. Overtraining may lead to quick muscle gains and weight loss but the body will suffer in the long term. One of the dangers of overtraining is adrenal fatigue which can impair your body’s ability to produce testosterone for long term. Sleep is important for just about all the body's processes specially recovery. Melatonin is an important hormone not just for sleep but for overall health and wellness. Low melatonin correlates to chronic diseases which is caused by chronic sleep deprivation. Even acute sleep deprivation can have destructive effects on your body. People ruin their circadian rhythm by using their phones right before they sleep. Technology use or even streetlights can misalign your circadian rhythm. Even sleep aids aren't enough due to hormonal changes that occurred in your body brought upon by circadian misalignment. Being exposed to so much light increases cortisol in the body which in turn "alerts" the body to stay awake despite the sleeping time. One way to reset your circadian rhythm is by going to a nearby park for the weekend, leaving your gadgets in the car, avoid artificial light, use campfire, and sleep when you’re tired. Key Takeaways: Light is important as soon as you wake up or within the first few minutes of waking up. Expose your body and eyes to AM sunlight. This signals the body to suppress melatonin and produce cortisol, getting you ready for the day right before you’ve even had breakfast.

One way to reset your circadian rhythm is by going to a nearby park for the weekend, leaving your gadgets in the car, avoid artificial light, use campfire, and sleep when you’re tired. Key Takeaways: Light is important as soon as you wake up or within the first few minutes of waking up. Expose your body and eyes to AM sunlight. This signals the body to suppress melatonin and produce cortisol, getting you ready for the day right before you’ve even had breakfast.

Alex Fergus - Glyphosate: The Toxic Weed Killer Found In Our Food & Water 03/09/2018

Alex Fergus - Glyphosate: The Toxic Weed Killer Found In Our Food & Water Health and wellness entrepreneur Alex Fergus has an interesting story to share about his journey to finding better health. Like many Americans, Alex grew up playing several sports throughout his childhood and college years – from competitive rowing to bodybuilding and weight-lifting. At an early age, Alex began suffering the effects of low testosterone and began his journey to transform his life, seek out better health choices, and learn more about healthy lifestyle changes including improving his circadian rhythms, eating healthier, and blocking blue light after sundown. Glyphosate, the active chemical in the weed killer RoundUp, is the world's most used herbicide. First discovered in 1950, glyphosate's herbicidal properties were not identified until 1970. It was quickly patented by agrochemical and biotech company Monsanto. Glyphosate is linked to a host of health maladies including Liver Disease, Kidney Disease, Antibiotic Resistance, Endocrine/Hormonal Disruption, Cancer, Mitochondrial Disease, etc “Ingestion of Glyphosate via food or water sources puts one a risk for many health issues and one of the reasons I take such a hardline stance to buy Organic only.” – Alex Fergus In This Episode, You Will Learn: What are PUFAs Why are PUFAs so unhealthy High Omega 6 Levels from PUFAs and Inflammation’ Death by PUFAs - What they are the worst thing you ingest’ PUFAs and Cancer PUFAs and Obesity Mentioned in This Episode Key Takeaway: Avoiding Glyphosate (from Roundup) takes diligence and effort. The benefits, however, are likely the most significant as far as impact on your overall health, wellness, and fitness.

Rick Gold - Circadian Optimization via Sunlight, Sleep & Lifestyle Choices - Part 2 03/07/2018

Rick Gold - Circadian Optimization via Sunlight, Sleep & Lifestyle Choices - Part 2 Rick Gold joins host Kevin Cottrell today to discuss circadian based health & wellness. Rick is a Functional Wellness practitioner from South Florida with a passion for helping educate, treat and heal patients. Rick is a certified FDN & Functional Wellness Practitioner and is well-versed in the concepts of functional medicine. Working with clients locally in South Florida and around the world, Rick helps his clients identify and eliminate many of the underlying causes of their symptoms, with a specialization in gut health and circadian rhythms. Prior to his career in health & wellness, Rick worked for Wall Street firms as a financial adviser, institutional trader, and hedge fund recruiter. So, how did someone working for Wall Street end up as a Functional Wellness Practitioner? For most of his adult life, Rick suffered from 24/7/365 allergies, frequent colds and sinus infections, indigestion, heartburn, GERD, stomach and joint pain. He was able to find temporary relief using conventional medicine doctors, but the conventional medicine route never identified or fixed the underlying causes of his health issues. Rick used functional lab testing and lifestyle changes to vastly improve his health. Dietary and other lifestyle modifications essentially reversed most of his health challenges which are now a distant memory. Additional research, references, and recommended reading from Rick Gold Here are some more (in addition to what I’ve linked to in the text throughout this building block) circadian rhythm, blue light/ALAN studies, sunlight, and nnEMF research articles, and videos for you to learn more (mind you this is just a SMALL sampling of the THOUSANDS of studies out there on these topics. The research is so definitive it makes one wonder why it isn’t more mainstream!): Blue light, ALAN, Sunlight, and Melatonin (Study) – “These results demonstrate that evening exposure to an LE-eBook phase-delays the circadian clock, acutely suppresses melatonin, and has important implications for understanding the impact of such technologies on sleep, performance, health, and safety.” (Article) – Florida Atlantic University. “Researchers are finding that exposure to bright nocturnal light decreases the human body's production of melatonin. A decrease in melatonin production has been linked to higher rates of certain cancers, such as breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.” (Video) – Russel J. Reiter, PhD (Study) “The results from this study suggest a potential increased risk of breast cancer associated with domestic exposure to LAN (Light at Night).” (Video) – – Dr. Daniel Siegel (Study) - Complementary mechanisms of circadian disruption and related diseases – “Nighttime use of personal computers, mobile phones, electronic tablets, televisions, and the like--now epidemic in adolescents and adults and highly prevalent in pre-school and school-aged children--is a new source of ALAN. However, ALAN exposure occurs concomitantly with almost complete absence of daytime sunlight, whose blue-violet (446-484 nm λ) spectrum synchronizes the CTS and whose UV-B (290-315 nm λ) spectrum stimulates vitamin D synthesis. ““The observed elevated incidence of medical conditions the two are alleged to influence through many complementary bioprocesses of cells, tissues, and organs led us to examine effects of the totality of the artificial light environment in which humans reside today. Never have chronobiologic or epidemiologic investigations comprehensively researched the potentially deleterious consequences of the combination of suppressed vitamin D plus melatonin synthesis due to life in today's man-made artificial light environment, which in our opinion is long overdue.” (Study) – “The results of this study provide observational evidence that avoiding sun exposure is a risk factor for all-cause mortality. Following sun exposure advice that is very restrictive in countries with low solar intensity might in fact be harmful to women's health.” (Study) – “Blue light can induce formation of toxic reactive oxygen species that cause photochemical damage, leading to the death by apoptosis first of critical retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and then photoreceptors. This slow process, in which damage accumulates over a lifetime, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD).” (Study) – “We conclude that visible light can cause cell dysfunction through the action of reactive oxygen species on DNA and that this may contribute to cellular aging, age-related pathologies, and tumorigenesis.” (Study) Bright light exposure reduces TH-positive dopamine neurons- Implications of light pollution in Parkinson's disease epidemiology – “Remarkably, in preliminary analysis that accounted for population density, the age and race adjusted Parkinson's disease prevalence significantly correlated with average satellite-observed sky light pollution.” (Study) – “The best way to obtain a given dose of vitamin D with minimal carcinogenic risk is through a non-burning exposure in the middle of the day, rather than in the afternoon or morning.” (Study) – “The findings identify that light exposure may be a contributor to the obesogenic environment during early childhood.” (Article) – “He explained that a single light pulse cues the biological clock of the fruit fly to shift two hours ahead of its original schedule through a process the researchers call "phase retuning." Circadian Rhythms (Video) – Great Ted Talk that teaches you about circadian biology. (Article) – Joan E. Roberts, Fordham University “Humans evolved being exposed to different spectra of light in the morning, the late afternoon and evening. So it should not be surprising that human physiology is profoundly affected by the daily and seasonal changes in the visible light spectrum. Exposure to the appropriate spectrum of light during the day and evening enhances human health and wellbeing, immune response and productivity. However, exposure to light sources that do not match the natural solar spectrum to the time of day or evening, is hazardous to human health. The reason visible light has such a powerful effect on human health is that light exposure through the eye modifies circadian rhythm.” (Article) – “The circadian clock influences far more than daily habits, according to a few decades of research. Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, cancer, and depression have all been linked to malfunctions of the internal timekeeping scheme. Almost every cell in a living organism, it turns out, sees daily fluctuations in levels of genes and proteins, and when these fluctuations are dampened or stopped, things can go awry.” (Study) “This biological mechanism (ALAN) may partially explain the higher risk of breast and other cancers in women working rotating night shifts and possibly others who also experience prolonged exposure to light at night.” (Article) – NYT article from 1981! “Dr. Richard J. Wurtman - 'we are all unwitting subjects of a long-term experiment on the effects of artificial lighting on health. Until much more is known, we should design indoor lighting to resemble as closely as possible what the sun provides.'' (Study) – (Think diabetes!) (Study) – “Thus, in humans, prolonged sleep restriction with concurrent circadian disruption alters metabolism and could increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.” (Study) – “A wide variety of processes throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract and notably the liver appear to be under circadian control. These include various metabolic functions such as nutrient uptake, processing, and detoxification, which align organ function to cycle with nutrient supply and demand. Remarkably, genetic or environmental disruption of the circadian clock can cause metabolic diseases or exacerbate pathological states.” (Audio) (Study) – “Disrupting this process through mutations in the core clock genes or by interfering with the environmental zeitgebers that entrain the clock appear to modulate the function of cells and tissues, leading to an increased risk for cardiometabolic disease.” (Study) – “The hypothesis that circadian genes are involved in type 1 diabetes is reinforced by findings that the immune system undergoes circadian variation and that several autoimmune diseases are associated with circadian genes. Recent findings in the non-obese diabetic mouse model pinpoint to specific mechanisms controlling type 1 diabetes by the clock-related gene Arntl2 in the immune system.” (Study) – “We demonstrate that the circadian system importantly contributes to the reduced glucose tolerance observed in the evening compared with the morning. Separately, circadian misalignment reduces glucose tolerance, providing a mechanism to help explain the increased diabetes risk in shift workers” (Study) – “Motor and secretory activity, as well as the rhythm of cell proliferation in the GIT (Gastrointestinal Tract) and liver, are subject to many circadian rhythms, mediated by autonomic cells and some enterohormones (gastrin, ghrelin and somatostatin). Disruption of circadian physiology, due to sleep disturbance or shift work, may result in various gastrointestinal diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcer disease. In addition, circadian disruption accelerates aging, and promotes tumorigenesis in the liver and GIT.” (Study) – “Circadian deregulation of hormonal rhythms may participate in internal desynchronization and associated increase in metabolic risks.” (Study) – “In mammals, the eyes are the only photoreceptor involved in photoperiodic time perception and nocturnal melatonin secretion provides an endocrine signal of photoperiod to the PT to regulate TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone).” (Study) – “These findings indicate that room light exerts a profound suppressive effect on melatonin levels and shortens the body's internal representation of night duration. Hence, chronically exposing oneself to electrical lighting in the late evening disrupts melatonin signaling and could therefore potentially impact sleep, thermoregulation, blood pressure, and glucose homeostasis.” (Article) – “Chemical changes in brain cells caused by disturbances in the body’s day-night cycle may be a key underlying cause of the learning and memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a University of California, Irvine study.” nnEMF (Non-Native Electromagnetic Fields) (Article) – This is a transcript of a lecture given by journalist Wolfgang Maes in Los Angeles, California in 1990. Wolfgang suffered from EHS and tells his story and how he fixed his surroundings and his health by lowering his night time exposure to nnEMF. (Video) – In this video, Dr. Phillips discusses how nnEMFs damage your DNA, but he also tackles the topic of conflicting research between the independent science and the industry-funded science. By the way this video is from 2012, before Dr. Martin Pall’s work in 2013 that actually FOUND the non-thermal mechanism by which nnEMF disrupts cellular function. (Article) – “The cell phone cancer controversy will never be the same again. The U.S. (NTP) is expected to issue a public announcement that cell phone radiation presents a cancer risk for humans. The move comes soon after its recently completed study showed statistically significant increases in cancer among rats that had been exposed to GSM or CDMA signals for two-years.” (Video) – Amazing talk by Dr. Pall where he goes in depth and breaks down the non-thermal biological effects of Wi-Fi. (Documentary) – – An eye-opening documentary that will teach you a tremendous amount about the dangers of nnEMF. (Study) – – “Our results are therefore not consistent with the classical Trp triad-mediated RPM and suggest that CRYs act as blue-light/EMF sensors depending on trans-acting factors that are present in particular cellular environments.” Translation – nnEMF is perceived as light by sensory proteins in your body and that can mess with your circadian biology. (Study) - – “Furthermore, previous reports have indicated a significant association between exposure to RF-EMFs of mobile or cordless phones and sleep problems (, ). The 2nd shortcoming of this paper comes from ignoring this point that electromagnetic fields may affect the level of plasma melatonin (, ).” (Study) –“The results show that significant melatonin interruption and changes to the circadian rhythm occur due to the perturbation of chemical reaction rates, as also reported in previous studies. The results also show the influence of the mRNA degradation rate on the circadian rhythm's critical time delay or maturation time. The results support the hypothesis that exposure to weak EMFs via melatonin disruption can adversely affect human health.” (Study) – “This implies that weak magnetic field interactions may have a chronodisruptive basis, homologous to the more familiar effects on the biological clock arising from sleep deprivation, phase-shift employment and light at night. It is conceivable that the widespread sensitivity of biological systems to weak ELF magnetic fields is vestigially derived from this diurnal geomagnetic effect.” (Article) - – “The new system, dubbed radiogenetics, uses a signal, in this case low-frequency radio waves or a magnetic field, to heat or move ferritin particles. They, in turn, prompt the opening of TRPV1, which is situated in the membrane surrounding the cell. Calcium ions then travel through the channel, switching on a synthetic piece of DNA the scientists developed to turn on the production of a downstream gene, which in this study was the insulin gene.”Translation – Scientists are actively using nnEMFs NON-THERMAL effects on cells to develop therapies for diabetes. How can anyone read this and deny the non-thermal effects of nnEMF?? (Documentary) – – A short and informative film that documents the plight of people who suffer from EHS. (Documentary) – – A must-watch documentary that illuminates the dangers of electric company-installed smart meters on homes and in apartment buildings. (Study) – – “New research comparing traditional hunter-gatherer living conditions to a more modern setting shows that access to artificial light and electricity has shortened the amount of sleep humans get each night.” (Study) – This study in particular does not mention nnEMF as a cause of heart failure, but if you remember Dr. Martin Pall’s work that showed how nnEMF causes excess calcium in the cell, and you see how this study links excess calcium in the cell to heart failure, it’s easy to connect the dots! Heart attacks kill a staggering number of Americans every year. Might nnEMF be a hidden cause that no one is considering? Food for thought. (Study) – “The results of this study and International Commission of Non Ionization Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reports showed the people who spend more than 50 minutes a day using a cell phone could have early dementia or other thermal damage due to the burning of glucose in the brain.” (Study) – “The findings present strong support to the earlier presented hypothesis that body-resonant broadcasting radiation emitted by horizontally polarized main FM transmitters has an immune-disturbing effect. “ (Article – This article raises the possibility that diabetes is caused by nnEMF. (Article) – This is a fantastic resource that links to a tremendous treasure trove of research and other evidence of the harm that nnEMF causes to human health. (Article) – “For years, we’ve heard of a possible link between cell phone use and cancer. Now, this week, researchers in Baltimore say the evidence is clear, and children are more at risk.” This is crucial to watch and read if you have children. (Study) – Think about that. Our brains resonate at the same frequency as the natural frequency emitted by the earth that gets charged by lightening. With no nnEMFs this is how we are supposed to resonate. nnEMFs disturb this natural resonance and we pay the price with our health. (Video) – She shows what nnEMFs do to our blood under a microscope, and shows how reducing nnEMFs helped several MS patients. (Article) – the role of calcium – This one is definitely more for the science geeks, but it goes into great detail about how nnEMF affects the calcium in and around our cells. (Article) – “Study finds sperm levels of men who kept their phones in their pocket during the day were quite seriously affected in 47 per cent of cases“ (Article) – This is a fascinating and well-referenced article that depicts the effects of Wi-Fi on animals and plants. It discusses key studies done on bees that show how Wi-Fi is causing colony collapse disorder. (Article) – And finally, a massive collection of research on nnEMF that includes a link to 2300 studies done by the US Navy showing the biological impacts of nnEMF! (Study) – “Li's study is the first prospective epidemiological study ever carried out on any group exposed to any type of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). The mothers' magnetic field exposures were measured during the first or second trimester and the health of their children —a total of 626 boys and girls— was followed for the next 13 years. Li sees a clear dose-response: Every 1 mG increase in median magnetic field exposure during pregnancy led to a 15% increase in asthma in the offspring. The trend is highly significant.” Connect with Rick Gold Rate, Review, Connect, Inspire Stay updated on new episodes, guest interviews, and health, wellness, and fitness information and resources by subscribing to the HealthCastNow Podcast Show on .
