Dr. John Lewis | How Polysaccharides Can Help Your Health
This week on The Hormone Prosperity Podcast, Dr. Kyrin welcomes renowned researcher and nutrition expert Dr. John E. Lewis for a riveting, science-backed (but totally relatable) conversation about how polysaccharides—complex plant sugars—could be the key to reducing inflammation, boosting brain health, and reclaiming your vitality in midlife.
💡What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why “all sugar is bad” is a myth—and a harmful one
How plant-based polysaccharides from aloe vera and rice bran act as supercharged cell communicators
The shocking lack of nutrition research (and why Big Pharma wants to keep it that way)
What “food as medicine” really means in a toxic, overly processed food system
The difference between eating for taste vs eating for health (and how most of us are doing it wrong)
How Daily Brain Care, Dr. Lewis’s polysaccharide-powered supplement, has helped improve sleep, energy, immune balance, and mental clarity—even in Alzheimer’s patients
👩⚕️Why This Matters for Midlife Women:
If you’re experiencing:
Mysterious weight gain (hello, “menopot”)
Brain fog and fatigue that just won’t lift
Reliance on caffeine to get going and wine to wind down...
You’re not alone, and you’re not broken. Dr. John and Dr. Kyrin break down how fueling your body with the right sugars—the kind that communicate with your cells, not sabotage them—can help you ditch hormonal poverty for good.
🍽️Big Takeaway:
“You are what you eat, and if you eat garbage, your cells become garbage—and garbage cells can’t heal anything.”—Dr. John E. Lewis
Whether you lean toward a carnivore, vegan, or somewhere-in-between diet, Dr. John’s message is clear: the key is quality, not dogma. And yes—your health can dramatically improve when you start eating what your genes, cells, and immune system actually recognize as real food.
🔬About Our Guest:
Dr. John E. Lewis, PhD, is the founder of Dr. Lewis Nutrition and an internationally recognized clinical researcher with decades of experience in physiology and plant-based nutrition. His breakthrough studies on polysaccharides have shown powerful results in chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s, MS, HIV, and more.

I select e-mails with a clear question around hormone poverty (such as symptoms of Midlife Metabolic Mayhem, diseases caused or exacerbated by hormonal poverty, accelerated aging, early death, etc.) and achieving hormone prosperity using the two hormone prescriptions needed (one written and the other not) that are of reasonable length and detail and of interest to significant numbers of the audience. I regret I'm not able to answer all messages sent. I appreciate your willingness to contribute to the community.
