    #097 The Science of Protein and Its Role in Longevity, Cancer, Aging, and Building Muscle

    Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Download my “How to Train According to the Experts” guide Protein is far more than a building block for muscle—it’s essential for metabolic health, insulin sensitivity, and preventing conditions like type 2 diabetes and sarcopenia. But how much do we truly need? And could too much protein, especially from meat, actually be harmful? This episode challenges the conventional RDA of 0.8 g/kg, presenting research that supports higher intakes of 1.2–2 g/kg for maintaining muscle, improving body composition, and promoting longevity. We also confront myths around protein timing and the so-called "anabolic window.” Lastly, we address concerns about protein’s links to cancer, heart disease, and kidney function, showing how exercise can redirect growth factors like IGF-1 to promote repair while mitigating risks.  Timestamps: (00:00) Download my “How to Train” guide (00:51) Introduction (03:32) Why muscle matters (05:57) Why do we lose muscle?

    #096 How to Improve Metabolic Health with HIIT, Circadian-Timed Eating, & Sleep

    Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Learn how to choose the right omega-3 supplement in my free 13-page guide Exercise, meal timing, and sleep are three powerful tools for optimizing metabolic health, a key factor in healthy aging. Even slightly elevated blood glucose levels, but within the "normal" range, can contribute to brain atrophy in areas linked to aging and neurodegeneration. Long-term glucose elevations (high HbA1c) also promote harmful compounds that stiffen blood vessels, reduce heart flexibility, and raise cardiovascular risk. In this episode, recorded at the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine conference in Palm Beach, Florida, I provide practical, science-backed protocols on how to implement HIIT, circadian-timed eating, and optimized sleep strategies to dramatically improve metabolic health and protect against these harmful effects.  Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (04:25) Why HIIT outshines zone 2 for improving metabolic health (06:46) The signaling role of lactate production by muscle (09:33) Optimal HIIT conditions for improving body composition (10:36) How vigorous exercise repairs dysfunctional mitochondria (14:27) HIIT vs. zone 2 for mitochondrial biogenesis (16:09) Evidence-based HIIT protocols (17:46) Why "exercise snacks" are a crucial pre- and post-mealtime activity (19:50) The mortality benefits of short exercise bursts (23:08) Why late-night eating is detrimental (27:37) Can high glucose levels accelerate brain atrophy? (28:30) How circadian misalignment affects postprandial glucose (29:46) Metabolic health benefits of time-restricted eating (32:24) Why early eating is better for metabolic health (34:48) Why losing sleep for 3 nights mimics type 2 diabetes (36:58) Why less than 7 hours of sleep increases type 2 diabetes risk (37:44) Why chronically high blood glucose damages cardiovascular health (39:39) What 4 hours of sleep for 4 nights does to insulin signaling (40:44) Why short sleep facilitates obesity (42:03) The checklist for good sleep hygiene (45:37) Can 1 hour of extra sleep help you lose weight? (46:47) Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) (48:22) How HIIT improves metabolic health when sleep-restricted (50:55) Can HIIT ameliorate the mortality risk from poor sleep?

    #095 What Microplastics Are Doing to Your Brain, Body, and Reproductive Systems

    Sweating helps enhance microplastic-associated chemical excretion. Get my free sauna report when you sign up here for my newsletter. Discover my premium podcast, The Aliquot Every week, the average person ingests the equivalent weight of a credit card in plastic.* While certain preventive measures can significantly reduce your intake of these harmful substances, it’s crucial to acknowledge a more daunting concern: the bioaccumulation of microplastics in the brain, potentially at ten times the rate of other organs. Microplastics and their associated chemicals are alarmingly ubiquitous — they permeate breast milk, sperm, the hippocampus, the prefrontal cortex, the air we breathe, medications, the water supply, and our bloodstream, accumulating in most major organ systems. During this episode, we’ll explore the unsettling realities of microplastics and their associated chemicals, diving into how they infiltrate nearly every facet of our environment and body, and discuss actionable strategies to reduce exposure. Timestamps: (00:00) The extent of the problem (02:12) Top sources of exposure (04:00) Contamination of our water (05:04) BPA, phthalates, & PFAS (forever chemicals) (07:06) How heating plastic affects BPA exposure (09:21) Our unfortunate habit of eating credit cards (11:33) Microplastics in major organs (14:05) Crossing the blood-brain barrier (15:01) How microplastics affect a developing fetus (15:55) The bloodstream is a highway for microplastics (18:12) Endocrine and hormonal effects (23:09) Consequences in pregnant women (25:35) How phthalates affect reproductive health (26:36) BPA's involvement in autism spectrum disorder (29:58) Side effects of prenatal BPA exposure (32:18) The brain may be a super-accumulator of plastic (34:50) Human brain microplastic levels are rising (36:06) Lost fertility in women (38:07) Changes in sperm quality (39:23) Microplastics in sperm (40:59) Why the heart suffers (42:51) Microplastics in arterial plaque (43:56) How BPA affects blood pressure (45:58) Risk of cancer (50:31) Topo Chico sparkling water (53:02) Reverse osmosis filtration (54:56) Food-based strategies for limiting microplastics (56:32) The "myth" of BPA-free plastics (58:14) Is salt a source of microplastics? (59:18) HEPA filters (1:00:52) Choose your clothing wisely (1:01:47) How to prevent release of microplastics (from laundry) (1:02:32) Receipts and thermal paper (1:04:17) Microplastic excretion and breakdown (1:06:28) Sulforaphane for detoxifying (1:08:38) Can dietary fiber increase microplastic excretion? (1:10:15) Are plastic chemicals excreted through sweat? (1:11:21) Do excretion strategies work for "forever chemicals"? Show notes are available by clicking here Watch this episode on YouTube * Some sources suggesting this figure may need to be revised downward as a result of some disagreement on the math used. However, in spite of this lack of consensus, the human and animal intake of microplastics is substantial and pervasive.
