Biohacking Superhuman Performance Nathalie Niddam

Research, equipment, and protocols are the three things that differentiate this method of blood flow restriction training from the others… 
 
My guest this week is Steven Munatones, CEO & Co-founder of KAATSU Global, Inc. In this episode, Steven and I discuss how KAATSU differs from other blood flow restriction products, how KAATSU can be effective for pain management, and the benefits of using KAATSU to increase athletic performance. We also get a little deeper into some of the protocols, and discuss different use cases.
 
Steven Munatones has launched new products, services and technologies in the U.S. over the last 20 years. At TOTO Frontier, he licensed TOTO's sanitary ware technologies outside of Japan. At RealLiveSports, he designed and marketed the ESPN Play by Play, a 2006 Toy of the Year. At Aruze Gaming America, he launched hybrid slot machine reel technology in the gaming industry. At the World Open Water Swimming Association, he utilized 9 years of national team coaching to help shape and promote the new Olympic sport of marathon swimming. The Harvard graduate and certified KAATSU Master Instructor co-founded KAATSU Global with Dr. Sato, the Japanese inventor of KAATSU, to introduce next-generation KAATSU equipment.
 
What we discuss:
00:01:02 The distinction between KAATSU and other blood flow restriction products 
00:07:53 The origins of KAATSU 
00:11:47 The body’s hormonal response to blood flow restriction 
00:19:21 How KAATSU is supporting brain health 
00:22:22 Why amputees can benefit from using KAATSU
00:32:07 Using KAATSU to manage arthritis and joint pain
00:40:48 The benefits of using KAATSU for athletic performance
00:58:57 How KAATSU can help build muscle mass
01:03:04 The best place for people to go for different types of protocols
 
Key Takeaways:
KATSUU is a Japanese word made out of two characters: “additional” and “pressure”. While we refer to these devices as “blood flow restriction” devices, the goal of KAATSU is to provide additional pressure to allow blood to flow into the small areas in your capillaries normally, and then slow it down temporarily.
There are several different ways you can use KAATSU to improve performance, including using it for warm up, for peak performance, in the cyclical mode, and in the constant mode. Each of those applications has a different impact on your physiology.
Since most of the hormonal release of the human body happens while we’re asleep, using a very light application of KAATSU can help you fall into REM sleep quicker, and can keep you there longer.

My guest this week is Dr. Rand McClain of Regenerative and Sports Medicine.
In this episode, Dr. Rand McClain and I discuss stem cells, epigenetics, blood sugar and regenerative medicine as a whole. Dr. Rand shares some patient stories of reversal of arthritis and even MS symptoms in people. We discuss the cutting edge modalities you may have been wondering about or even heard multiple contradictory viewpoints on and he sets the record straight. 
Though nutrition and wellness have been ingrained in Dr. Rand McClain since childhood, his journey to becoming a leader in alternative and progressive medical treatments has been anything but orthodox. From being the youngest senior account manager in Deloitte’s history, to his stint as a professional boxer in Argentina, to being accepted to medical school at age 37 after being repeatedly told it was impossible, Dr. Rand has never been a fan of the “status quo”. 
Dr. Rand’s patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) come to his practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine, in search of the innovative treatments he specializes in. From bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy to cryotherapy, Dr. Rand has dedicated the past 35 years to redefining what it means to be in optimal health.

My guest this week is Jim Law - CEO, Co-Founder of BioCharger & Jim Girard - Inventor and Head of Research & Development of BioCharger.
In this episode, Jim Law, Jim Girard and I discuss the BioCharger. BioCharger is a health optimization platform designed to transmit energy that stimulates and invigorates the body to optimize and improve potential health, wellness, and athletic performance. It does this by using light, voltage, PEMF’s, frequencies and harmonics. The BioCharger truly is the only health optimization platform of its kind. I was lucky enough to experience the BioCharger at the Upgraded Labs Conference and it really is a one of a kind experience. I found not only myself, but others flocking to it like moths to a flame. 
Jim Law has served as a managing member of Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC since co-founding the firm in 2013. With a focus on strategy and business development, Jim’s entrepreneurial track record includes founding/co-founding two prior start-ups that implemented innovative and disruptive technology based solutions that changed the way their respective industries did business.
Both firms were sold to public companies (Siemens and Comfort Systems USA) and were successfully integrated into these firms’ product and service offerings.
Prior to starting his own businesses, Jim held executive positions in the technology world at companies such as Apple Computer and NeXT. Jim is married with 4 children and living in Orleans, MA.
Jim Girad brings more than 25 years of subtle energy research and development experience to the team, which led to the introduction of the original BioCharger concept in 1993. In 1988, Jim was privileged to have studied under Dr. Orville Fitz, a protégé of Nikola Tesla which led to Jim’s experimentation with Tesla coil and multiple wave oscillation (MWO) technologies.
He then experimented with combining various noble and Inert gas filled tubes to incorporate the visible light spectrum, and applied the concept of pulsing frequencies from Rife and Lakhovsky to form a unique and hybrid subtle energy platform.
In a few short years, his company Advanced Technology Concepts (ATC) had accomplished what no others previously had by discovering how to unlock the benefits of multiple subtle energies simultaneously and wirelessly.Advanced Biotechnologies, LLC acquired ATC in 2013 and Jim is a now a lead on the BioCharger NG product development team. 
 
What is Discussed:
[09:00] The start of BioCharger…
[14:00] How Jim Law got involved with Jim Girard…
[19:27] What is the Biocharger and how does it work?..
[34:50] The importance of vibration…
[38:45] Is the BioCharger comparable to multiple devices in one?..
[48:20] Do different tissues respond to different frequencies?..
[56:10] BioCharger and inflammation…
[60:10] Collecting data on the biocharger and how it affects the body…
 
Favorite Quotes:
Six in ten adults have some form of chronic disease.
The only way our body can heal, recover, repair itself is regeneration.

My guest this week is Amy Jaramillo, Scientific Director of BodyScience.
In this episode, Amy and I discuss her scientific approach to looking at diseases and the body. Her goal is to get to the root cause of health issues. She looks at health through a different kind of scientific lens where she is able to look at patterns and see the body as a puzzle. We talk about how her and her team treat underlying infections and reverse diseases such as ALS. Even if you are well versed in infections this episode covers a lot. Lastly, no episode would be complete without touching on one of our favorites–peptides.
Amy Jaramillo is the Founder of Body Science LLC, a science based medical center developed with a mission to identify the root cause of health syndromes.  We identify the triggers, exposures and genetic predispositions responsible for conditions including: Motor Neurone Disease, Thyroid Dysregulation, Adrenal Fatigue, ADD/ADHD, Auto-Immunity, Diabetes, Leaky Gut, and Infertility and then we correct them.  Our goal is to cure, not merely to medicate.  A graduate of Florida State University with a B.S. in Biology and Chemistry, Amy has over 21 years of experience in the healthcare industry. She is a member of the American Academy of Anti -Aging (A4M) since 2011 and a past member of the Association for the Advancement of Restorative Medicine (AARM).  Amy has extensive experience working in the fields of bio-genetics and bio-technology understanding the genetics-disease link as well as in the field of brain stimulation, implantation and neuromodulation for neuro-degenerative disease.

My guest this week is Caroline Alan, Mineral Enthusiast, Co-Founder & CEO of BEAM Minerals.
In this episode, Caroline and I discuss minerals/electrolytes. Caroline talks about how fulvic and humic minerals in their bioavailable ionic format can offer an array of health benefits. Besides water the rest of our bodies are mostly composed of minerals. It makes sense why these minerals offer such amazing health benefits. Minerals in their natural form offer a full spectrum of electrolytes, micronutrients, amino acids and vitamins. We talk about all the things minerals can help with from energy levels to detoxing from heavy metals.
Caroline Alan is a health survivor and mineral enthusiast. Coming from a career in the corporate world, like many, Caroline found herself struggling physically, mentally and energetically.  As a result of her journey back to health, Caroline has become devoted to educating people about how minerals operate in the body, why we need to supplement our mineral intake and the benefits of plant-based mineral supplementation.   
Caroline is a regular contributor to Podcasts and health-focused events and programs around the world. She is also the Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals Inc.
