Key takeaways
Aging is the accumulation of chronic inflammation in cells & tissues, leading to degeneration
Slowing the inflammatory & degenerative process can reduce the risk of disease. The earlier & more proactive you are, the better
Melatonin, cortisol's opposing hormone, decreases significantly after puberty
Acute inflammation helps build resilience
Chronic inflammation reduces the function & volume of our stem cell reserves
Most body tissues originate from the mesoderm, which forms the middle tissues (mesenchyme)
Before expensive procedures, address factors rapidly depleting your stem cells naturally to enhance treatment effectiveness
Cells lose their ability to function properly, produce the right proteins, & can become "zombie cells" when severely damaged
The body contains many peptides, like insulin, endorphins, melatonin, & others used for weight loss, anti-aging, & anti-inflammatory purposes

Did you know you could lose weight by eating more carbs?
Join me with our guest, Jay Feldman as we delve into bioenergetic nutrition in part 2 of this 2-part podcast episode, exploring the advantages of a high-carb diet & the surprising drawbacks of omega-3 fatty acids.
Discover why efficient food-to-energy conversion is crucial & how to navigate your caloric needs seamlessly. Feldman also reveals his top tips on optimal carb sources and how fat intake can affect your metabolism in today’s episode on “Bioenergetic Health”.
Meet our guest
Jay is a health coach, independent health researcher, & the host of The Energy Balance Podcast. He has degrees in neuroscience & exercise physiology, & decided to forgo medical school after realizing that the conventional medical approach was not the solution to the health problems that so many of us face.
After working through various conventional & alternative health paradigms & trialing countless diets, Jay came across the idea that cellular energy is the foundation of our health. Embracing this discovery, he now uses the Energy Balance approach to help men & women around the world maximize their cellular energy, optimize their health, & achieve freedom from low-energy symptoms & chronic health issues.

The simple, guided, and actionable Outliyr Longevity Challenge helps you unlock your longevity potential, slow biological aging, and maximize your healthspan
Key takeaways
Adjusting to dietary changes takes time; going slow & steady helps avoid mistakes
Poor digestion of reintroduced carbs (bloating, gas) suggests the need for digestive adaptation, especially from a low-carb diet
Appetite reflects calorie needs: eat when hungry & avoid force-feeding when not
Increased activity, particularly with more muscle mass, raises fat needs, generally between 30-40% of total calories
At rest & during low-level activity, muscles predominantly use fat as fuel
Excessive fat reliance indicates a low metabolic state & can reduce metabolism, glucose burning, & thyroid function
Burning fuel at a higher rate leads to specific fat loss rather than merely accessing fat stores through suboptimal fuel
Increase carbs gradually to reduce stress, enhance thyroid & metabolism, & support healthy weight loss with minimal regain
Focus on starches that minimize anti-nutrients, & be aware that chicken & pork may contain fats from seed oils they consume
Omega-3s, often perceived as healthier than omega-6s, are even less stable due to additional double bonds & more susceptible to oxidative stress
The membrane pacemaker theory of aging suggests that the level of unsaturation in cell membranes is a major determinant of species longevity
Higher oxidative stress makes unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3s, more vulnerable to damage
Episode Highlights
03:34 How to Safely Transition From a Low-Carb Diet
14:41 The Path to Bioenergetic Nutrition
20:18 Omega-3 vs. Omega-6
41:31 Effective Supplementation

Key takeaways
The idea that fat burns cleaner than glucose is a misconception; in many cases, glucose burns more efficiently
Short-term, ketones can boost metabolism, but long-term reliance on them can lower metabolic rates and promote fat storage
Ketones are primarily used by the brain; the rest of the body relies on fat
The brain, with its high metabolic needs, relies on glucose or ketones rather than fatty acids due to their more efficient energy production
Carbon dioxide (CO2) has antioxidant effects, helping protect against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and is beneficial in low-oxygen states
Chronic stress reduces CO2 levels, which can impact health
Episode Highlights
11:17 Everything You Need to Know About Balancing Stress & Energy
20:16 The Truth About Caloric Restriction & Fasting
34:14 Fats VS Carbs (The Ultimatum)

Meet our guest
Dr. Tyler Panzner is a Ph.D. scientist trained in pharmacology, cancer, neuroscience, and inflammation research who has had a lifelong passion for understanding how substances effect the body.

Using this approach he believes that not only daily quality of life improves, but the risk for chronic diseases are greatly reduced. Dr. Panzner firmly believes that one's underlying genetic code dictates what the body needs to THRIVE.

Key takeaways
The significance of a gene mutation isn't determined by one mutation; genes can have tens of thousands of potential mutation sites
Science is never perfect; we’re always learning
Methylation is a foundational cellular process involved in turning genes on/off, making neurotransmitters, & producing glutathione
Lithium helps break down excess adrenaline, stabilizes mood, & supports neuroplasticity
Taking lithium orotate before bed can be life-changing for mood stabilization & reducing adrenaline
COMT & MAO genes are responsible for breaking down adrenaline, so you can't mentally lower adrenaline if these genes aren't functioning well
Food intolerances occur when the body can't digest certain proteins or components, usually a digestive, not an immune, issue
8 out of 10 kidney stones form from oxalate crystals
