    Wisdom Wednesdays: Why you should reframe how you think about Lactic Acid (Lactate)

    Today I discuss how our knowledge of Lactic Acid, or to be more specific, it's close cousin Lactate, which is Lactic Acid without the hydrogen ion. Most of us think about the unpleasant sensations and feelings, but research shows that Lactate has a myriad of surprising benefits for the body and brain.

    Transform Your Health Through Boosting Your Second Brain with Dr Jason Hawrelak

    In today's episode,  we delve into the fascinating world of your gut microbiome—often called your 'second brain'—with leading expert Dr. Jason Hawrelak - a  researcher, educator, and naturopath with 25 years’ clinical experience.  We explore how modern diets and environmental toxins are decimating our gut health, with shocking revelations about how 'forever chemicals' and the impact on our hea;th.  From explaining faecal transplants to understanding the critical role of probiotics during antibiotic treatment, this conversation uncovers cutting-edge research about the gut-brain connection and its impact on ageing, mental health, and overall wellbeing.  Whether you're struggling with digestive issues or simply want to optimise your health through personalised nutrition, this episode provides practical strategies to protect and enhance your microbiome in our modern toxic world. Key Topics: The Gut-Brain Connection: Exploring the microbiome as a 'second brain' and its communication pathways with the central nervous system Modern Diet Challenges: Processed foods, emulsifiers, and preservatives' impact on gut health and the microbiome Faecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT): Historical context and current applications in treating various health conditions Environmental Toxins: Examining 'forever chemicals', microplastics, and their effects on gut health and human organs Antibiotics and Probiotics: Guidelines for probiotic use during antibiotic treatment and the role of Saccharomyces boulardii Ageing and the Microbiome: How gut bacteria changes with age, implications for health, and the Japanese 'ikigai' approach to healthy ageing Personalised Nutrition: The future of microbiome testing and customised dietary interventions based on individual gut profiles Key Takeaways: Minimise ultra-processed foods and preservatives to protect your gut barrier, which houses 80% of your immune system. When prescribed antibiotics, take Saccharomyces boulardii a few hours after each dose to support your gut health. Reduce exposure to 'forever chemicals' by choosing plastic-free food storage and minimising packaged foods. Eat a varied diet whilst young to build a diverse microbiome that will serve you well into old age. Follow the Japanese 'ikigai' principle by growing your own vegetables and staying active to maintain gut health as you age. Manage your stress levels actively, as there's a direct two-way relationship between stress and gut health.

    Why You Need to be A MITOchondriac Part 2 with Dr. Christabelle Yeoh

    In this second part of the mind-blowing conversation on The Paul Taylor Podcast, we explore the fascinating world of cellular health with Dr. Christabelle Yeoh who challenges our understanding of light, cold exposure, and mitochondrial function. Through a blend of cutting-edge science and practical applications, we uncover why sunlight impacts far more than just vitamin D levels, how red-light therapy directly activates your cellular powerhouses, and why your mother's genes might influence your mental health more than previously thought. From the science of cold exposure progression to the truth about trendy NAD+ supplements, this episode breaks down complex biochemistry into actionable steps for optimising your health. Using real-world examples and clinical experience, we tackle common misconceptions about sunlight exposure in Australia and reveal why mastering the basics might be more powerful than advanced biohacking techniques. Key Topics: Red Light Therapy & Mitochondria: Exploring how red and near-infrared light directly impacts mitochondrial function through Complex IV and cytochrome c oxidase Sunlight & Health Beyond Vitamin D: Australia's sun exposure paradox and the broader impacts of sunlight on hormones, mood, and metabolic health Mitochondrial Psychobiology: Examining the connection between mitochondrial function and psychological health, including maternal inheritance patterns Nutritional Support for Mitochondria: Detailed analysis of how specific nutrients, including B vitamins, NAD+, and methylation support mitochondrial complexes Supplementation Strategies: Critical evaluation of supplements including methylated B vitamins, NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), and NR (Nicotinamide Riboside) Hormetic Stressors: Overview of beneficial stressors including fasting, cold exposure, and exercise for optimising mitochondrial health Cold Therapy Progression: Practical guidance on introducing cold exposure, from face plunges to cold showers, with emphasis on appropriate progression for different health conditions Key Takeaways: Prioritise regular sunlight exposure as it directly activates mitochondria and influences hormones, mood, and metabolism beyond just vitamin D production. Begin cold exposure therapy with gentle face plunges or brief cold showers rather than jumping straight into ice baths, especially if dealing with chronic conditions. Incorporate regular fasting into your routine as a fundamental tool for optimising mitochondrial function and metabolic flexibility. Consider personalised B vitamin supplementation based on your individual genetic makeup and health requirements. Support your mitochondrial complexes through targeted nutrition, NAD support for Complex 1, and red light therapy for Complex 4 Master the fundamental health practices before advancing to more complex biohacking interventions. Include strategic exercise in your routine as it's a cornerstone of mitochondrial health and function.
