    C60 Science: The God Molecule Hypothesis w/ Chris Campbell

    When you jump into the world of carbon 60 (C60), you quickly become hooked because of its many health benefits and positive impact on mitochondrial function; however, the proverbial hook, line and sinker that perks up people's ears are its profound potential for longevity. Look no further than my previous discussion with C60 manufacturer and leading expert, Chris Burres, where he details the unprecedented longevity research results where rats lived 90% longer when consuming C60 mixed in olive oil!If you're like me, you look for high-quality information on such an exciting topic  —  particularly well written books. Long story short, there is a dearth of texts on C60 out there. But today's guest, Chris Campbell, is the author of one of those books: C60 Science: The God Molecule Hypothesis. And it's not just "another" book, Chris's take on C60 is very unique, yet exceptionally compelling. In his book, he takes deep rabbit holes into the history of C60 not just on earth, but in outer space where he posits C60 may have played a role in brining life to our planet. He also has unique insights into the special geometry of buckminsterfullerene (i.e., C60) and its potential quantum biology characteristics. During today's conversation, Chris discusses the many topics from his book, including what The God Molecule Hypothesis means, the various properties and potentials of C60, his thoughts on C60 supplements, the potential of safely integrating C60 into water and much more!If you found the information in today's episode with Chris Campbell particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

    Understanding How Nitric Oxide Affects Our Health

    For quite some time now, ever since entering the world of red light therapy  — but particularly when getting into the realm of methylene blue  — I've wondered what nitric oxide's true impact on our body and wellness is. For the vast majority of my life, I was under the belief that all nitric oxide = good. That was ingrained at an early age with the countless pre-workout supplements I was taking during my heavy lifting days during high school through college. But it didn't stop there. The message of nitric oxide = good and that "more is better" has been perpetuated in the wellness, and even longevity, industries by countless experts and influencers.But how is that possible if one of methylene blue's main actions is nitric oxide inhibition? How is that possible if nitric oxide is a free radical and an environmental pollutant and, thus, is effectively an "electron stealer"?For whatever reason, I have never been able to get a straight answer from anyone on this topic. But serendipitously, I was recently reading a book that provided the most clearcut and sensible explanation that would allow for nitric oxide to be both "good" and "bad". The book is Methylene Blue: Magic Bullet: The Ultimate Mitochondrial Support, by Dr. John Lieurance. As I learned from the book, it turns out that nitric oxide is quite similar to how inflammation can be both a positive and a negative for our physiology; but with some additional nuances through in there. Today's episode is about nitric oxide and the roles it plays in our wellness and what the best strategies are for best harnessing the "good" nitric oxide while downregulating the "bad" nitric oxide.  If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

    Updates & New Perspectives in the Worlds of Photobiomodulation & Red Light Therapy w/ Dr. Praveen Arany

    One of my favorite guests that I have the pleasure of speaking with all year is Dr. Praveen Arany. This episode now makes it three years running that he has jumped on the podcast to have a highly informative conversation centered around photobiomodulation (PBM). Being one of the most respected researchers and worldwide experts in the PBM field, these episodes with Dr. Arany are always gems. They feel like we (the audience) are receiving the combination of some tantalizing scuttlebutt from the PBM world while also having some FAQs and concepts clarified, which I've been accruing over the past year since our last conversation. During today's conversation, Dr. Arany provides his insight and perspective on the PBM Conference that took place in London back in late August. We also cover an array of red light therapy topics (i.e., PBM), such as the importance of correct dosage when carrying out treatments, clarification on the issue surrounding sauna use with PBM, the role of various color and wavelengths, blue light and its  biological impact and use cases in PBM, red light therapy's potential use for seasonal affective disorder, how PBM can affect oral health and much more!   Dr. Praveen Arany is trained as a dentist and an oral pathologist. He completed a joint PhD-Residency program at Harvard University as a Harvard Presidential Scholar. He has two certificates in clinical translational research from Harvard Medical School and the National Institute of Health. He has over 100 scientific publications with several well cited papers to his credit. A complete list of his publications on Pubmed is available here. He is a recipient of numerous awards and has been invited to speak in various national and international forums, reviews for over 50 scientific journals, serves on 9 journal editorial boards.

    Quality of Methylene Blue is Imperative; Research: Red Light Therapy's Effect on Vitamin D & Blood Glucose Levels

    There are undeniable health benefits when it comes the methylene blue; most notably, its profound impact on the mitochondria. Secondary to that, people are understandably going to be excited and compelled to seek out a methylene blue supplement to start accruing those advantages. And as with any supplement... the quality matters!​​When it comes to the quality of methylene blue for human consumption, it is incredibly imperative. The fact of the matter is that supplements can say that they utilize USP grade methylene blue, yet the lab results still show heavy metals — like mercury, lead and others — can still be higher than what you want to put in your body. I discuss this issue, which is likely more prevalent than we would all like to believe. However, it does verify the high-quality, ultra-pure methylene blue and leucomethylene blue that is sourced for BioBlue products. I also cover two very interesting photobiomodulation research articles that look at unique aspects, and potential benefits, of red light therapy that have not been discussed before.The first article looks at osteoporosis in individuals with complete spinal cord injuries. However, the profound takeaway from that study is ​about serum vitamin D levels. The second study sheds light on photobiomodulation's impact on blood glucose levels. If more research can verify what was found, the demand for red light therapy will skyrocket (via pre-diabetics and diabetics).​​ If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge.

    Biological Dentistry & Wellness Strategies w/ the Grandfather of Biohacking, Dr. Gene Sambataro

    Anytime I have the opportunity to learn from a biological dentist, I'm all in. But couple that base of knowledge with someone that has also been biohacking (and utilizing red light therapy) longer than I've been alive? Now we've got ourself a compelling conversation! Enter Dr. Gene Sambataro, whom has seemingly always been way ahead of the curve, as it relates to both the world of dentistry and biohacking. He was questioning and excluding mercury fillings from his practice decades before his contemporaries and was biohacking far before it was a term. What is he doing today that is ahead of its time?In our conversation today, Dr. Sambataro details his path from centralized dentistry en route to the holistic counterpart and why the choice was so apparent to him in a time where is wasn't to virtually any of his contemporaries. As you can imagine, since he was biohacking decades before everyone else, he has accrued many hacks for health that are now also implemented into his biological dentist practice. Along with his professional practice, Dr. Sam is also opening a new wellness center that is focused on performance and longevity. He shares the fun tools and modalities that will be offered at the center.From Dr. Sam's bio on his dental practice website: "There are many physicians that report nearly 80% of all illnesses are related to infections, toxicities, and imbalances in the mouth. I choose to focus on biological dentistry because I believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in the practice of dentistry. A transformation that will shift the focus of dental practices away from the emergency treatment of symptoms towards compassionate, comprehensive and preventative biological care that truly embraces the philosophy of Hippocrates: 'First do no harm.' In this type of health-oriented dental practice, Dentists will become patients Primary Care Physicians."

    Is Carbon 60 & ESS60 the Most Compelling Longevity Molecule Ever? w/ Chris Burres

    As discussed on this podcast for some time now, carbon 60, commonly known as C60, is part of The Mitochondrial Triad for its many mitochondrial-boosting properties; namely, its ability to mitigate oxidative stress. Today's guest, Chris Burres, is all too familiar with C60, as he is the co-founder of SES Research, which has been producing C60 for industrial purposes since the early '90s. Through some rather serendipitous events, including a 2012 study where SES Research supplied the C60 that ended up extending the lifespan of rats by 90%(!!), Chris and his company found themselves flung into the crazy biohacking and longevity communities that were yearning to have C60 for human consumption.In our conversation today, Chris details the mechanisms of how C60 works to improve mitochondrial function (most notably, the B.O.S.S. Theory) and why it could be a key molecule to help humans extend lifespan beyond our current expectations. He also outlines the unfortunate state of the C60 supplement space and how most supplements have a much lower concentration than they claim and that some even have ZERO C60 in their product at all! This is why he has trademarked the term ESS60, which delineates an ultra high purity C60 that is specifically made for human consumption; meaning, if you are purchasing a C60 supplement, then "ESS60" must be in the ingredients list. Otherwise, you can assume it is a subpar product.Chris covers other interesting topics, such as how C60 is produced, his perspective on longevity and how long he believes he can live and whether or not immortality is possible, testimonials around ESS60, the upper limit for ESS60 consumption and much more!
