Methylene blue is one of the oldest synthetic compounds used in medicine, dating back to the 1800s. It was originally used to treat malaria but today its being used to study fat loss, cellular metabolism, alzheimers and longevity.

Methylene blue helps your mitochondria work more efficiently especially in the brain.

Fat loss depnds on how efficiently your mitochondria burn fuel and methylene blue supports that energy production pathway, it improves insulin sensitivity meaning your body uses carbs more efficiently and you end up storing less fat.

But importantly methylene blue is dose sensitive, meaning too much and you risk unwanted side effects. Let me be clear, methylene isn't fringe biohacking, clinical trials are underway right now. In this episode we explore all its benefits and what dosage is advised.

Heart disease is the number one cause of death world wide and one of the biggest risk factor is high cholesterol. While medications can certainly help some patients, many people are looking for natural food based strategies to support their heart health.

This is where pecan nuts come into the conversation. In one 12 week study participants ate 57 g of pecans a day and were shown to benefit from improved heart health markers. Their total cholesterol levels fell, LDL levels dropped, their Triglycerides fell and non-HDL increased. Eating pecans has been shown to help you eat better overall. Pecans are hert healhy because they are loaded with mono-unsaturated fats, and they're a source of plant sterols and fibre which help block cholesterol absorption in the gut. Its important to know however that pecans are calorie dense, one handful of pecans equates to about 200-220 cals so if you're trying to lose weight, measure your portions, plus despite their benefits, they arent a substitute for medication.

Swap out butter for olive oil. Magnesium is crucial for nerve myelin mainenance so enjoy leafy greens. Oxidative stress is a major contributor to nerve damage so load up on citrus , sunflower seeds and almonds. Controlled capsaicin exposure can ease pain and aid local nerve repair. Crucially, persistent numbness, can signal nerve compression , vacsular issues or diabetic neuropathy, so seek medical evaluation.

Weightloss, longevity, boosted energy levels and all while still being able to eat foods you enjoy, this is the promise of the 16:8 diet, which involves 16 hours of fasting and an 8 hour window during which you can consume your food.

One study compared those engaging in the 16:8 diet to a group who ate normally and actually found no significant difference in weightloss outcomes. The 16: 8 diet did however result in improved insulin sensitivity and reduced late night snacking, so not an insignifcant result in itself. People tend to make one huge mistake when trying the 16:8 diet which confounds their efforts to improve their health, in this episode I discuss what that one mistake is.

What if the way you speak today could predict your chances of getting Alzheimers, the most common form of dementia. A new study has found that alterations in speech speed could be an early warning sign for this devastating neurological disease. Researchers asked a sample group to describe a scene in detail , then AI analysed their speech patterns such as speech rate , the length of pauses, and vocabulary diversity. It seems theres a clear link between a persons coginitive function and how fasta person speaks. Even before memory deterioration occurs subtle speech changes can foreshadow cognitive decline. The kind of speech analysis in this stidy could one day become a simple non-invasive way to predict someones chances of acquiring a neurological condition like dementia.

What happens in the body when you fast for 3 days is jawdropping. I

n this episode I detail hour by hour exactly what happens inside your body from the moment you take your last bite of food, and in doing so I highlight what the benefits of doing a brief fast like this are to your health.

We talk about your glucose, insulin, and glycogen levels and how they are affected by your fast, plus when and how fat breakdown starts to occur.

We introduce the term ketosis where in response to your fast your liver converts fatty acids into ketone bodies for fuel. After 12 hours glycogen reserves are spent.

We hear about the cell cleaning process called autophagy which is one of the main benefits of fasting, and this kicks in between hours 18 to 24 of fasting.

Mental clarity appears to be one of the additional benefits of fasting too, while insulin sensitivity is also enhanced, which will allow your cells to handle glucose more efficiently once you resume eating.

After 36 hours a regenerative switch flips in your immune system as old white blood cells are broken down. Damaged mitochiondria are cleared out improving cellular efficiency.

Ketone production reaches a peak and IgF-1 a growth factor is suppressed, authophagy winds down. Despite all these changes arising from a brief fast, its not true to suggest that fasting will reset your digestive system as some influencers have claimed.

Fasting will reduce inflammation and improve your lipid profile and more.

A short term fast is NOT a fat loss tool, nor is its a detox, nor will it help with gut issues such as IBS. Any fast should be done in consultation with a medical professional especially if you have any history of disordered eating.
