Brain and Body Health Talk Eric Hansen

The post BBHT 29: Endocrine disruptors appeared first on Brain and Body Health.

The perils of mouth breathing! Scotty and I run through the neurology and bio chem of exactly why this is a huge problem and we talk about the super easy way to fix it.

Mitochondria are the power factory for your cells. Just like any engine the fuel we feed it and the way we drive it has an impact on how well the mitochondria do their job.

In this podcast Scott from Optimal Life and I talk through what poor mitochondrial health looks like and what can be done about it.

Knowing is half the battle. Some people have DNA that makes them great distance athletes, others have genes for short term memory. Some of us have genes that make us prone to inflammation.

Being aware of what your genetic weaknesses has been a huge asset for me personally when trying to get over autoimmune issues.

It turns out that we are coverd in bugs/ bacteria. Skin is the big one most people are aware of and a few have read into the gut microbiome and the impact an imbalance in your guts can have on your health. One microbiome that Scott Wustenberg from Optimal life and I were oblivious to was the microbiome in breast tissue!

In todays talk Scott and I talk about the microbiome in breast tissue and what an imbalance there can do to your health and the health of any babies currently breastfeeding off said boob.

We also run through the neurology of jaw problems and talk about how stress can have a huge impact on the mechanics of how your jaw moves and also how a jaw movement problem can impact your stress! (chicken and the egg scenario).

To finish any good conversation that includes stress we talk about breathing...because its important to breathe...really important.

This one was fascinating. Scott Wustenberg from Optimal Life said 'mitochondrial leakage' in a conversation and it was something I had never heard before, so we made a podcast about it.

It turns out that a consequence of over eating and under exercising, essentially not buring off excess calories, will damage your mitochondria (the part of each cell that produces energy) and over time the constant energy leakage will cause the mitochondria to breakdown faster than it should.

Mitochondria are pretty much the main thing keeping us alive, anything we can do to optimise our mitochondrial health will result in better energy levels and a longer life.

In the podcast Scott and I talk through a range of techniques that have been shown to help with mitochondrial health.
