Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness with Grace Price

Health Longevity Secrets

05/14/24 • 53 min

When Grace Price watched "Fed Up," a documentary that exposed the unsettling truths behind our diet, it ignited a spark within her that grew into a fierce crusade for metabolic health awareness. At just 18 years old, this visionary filmmaker is now steering the conversation with her own project, "Cancer: A Food-Borne Illness." Grace has allowed us to included the full 20 minute documentary at the end of this interview.
So stay tuned to watch the whole thing for your self.
Before we do that the episode kicks off with Grace's critique of the mainstream health narrative and her ambitious goal to educate others on the pivotal role diet plays in the development of chronic diseases. Our discussion weaves through the unsettling statistics of rising cancer rates among young adults and the daunting influence of big food corporations on our health.
Navigating the maze of nutritional advice can be daunting, especially for teens who are often caught in a tug-of-war between inherited eating habits and the temptation of convenience foods. Grace and I dissect the misconceptions clouding carbohydrates and underscore the critical need for a dietary focus on fats and proteins for metabolic fortitude. We confront the formidable task of redefining what “healthy eating” truly means and offer guidance for young listeners eager to scrutinize their food choices more critically. It's a conversation that lays bare the challenges of shifting dietary paradigms and the empowerment that comes with understanding the substance of what lands on our plates.
The episode concludes with a deep dive into the pressing need for a revolution in medical research funding, with an emphasis on prevention and the role of diet in disease treatment. Grace shares the positive waves her film is creating, signaling a shift in awareness among her peers towards the importance of diet in maintaining health. We also touch on the potential for the restaurant industry to join this health movement by ditching harmful seed oils. As we wrap up, Grace's commitment to her cause shines through, and we invite you to check out her websites and follow her journey as she continues to advocate for a healthier future.
We conclude the episode by including Grace's full documentary "Cancer: A Foodborne Illness" at the end of our interview.

What Is The Modern Fountain Of Youth? | Fountain Of Youth

Health Longevity Secrets

03/19/24 • 52 min

Unlock the mysteries of aging with our fascinating guest, Dr. Nir Barzilai, as we embark on a journey through the science of longevity. This episode promises to reveal the biological secrets that could redefine your approach to living a long, healthy life. Dr. Barzilai, with his wealth of knowledge, decodes the process of antagonistic pleiotropy where the very mechanisms that protect us in youth may become our foes in old age. Together we scrutinize inflammation's role in aging, explore the intertwining of nutrition and longevity, and ponder the potential of targeting aging to preempt age-related diseases. Our conversation navigates through the nuances of intermittent fasting and the surprising health benefits of a 16:8 fasting routine, offering personal insights and strategies that have become integral to our lives.
Some of the topics we will discuss are:
- Secrets of Longevity
- Tips on how to slow down aging
- Does intermittent fasting help with longevity?
When it comes to the tapestry of longevity, the threads are as complex as they are colorful. Dr. Barzilai sheds light on the unexpected shifts in personality among centenarians and the enigmatic cerebellum, which suggests a mind-boggling 400-year lifespan prediction according to epigenetic markers. We traverse the landscape of aging biomarkers, debating the merits of proteomics over methylation and the transformative potential of metformin beyond its conventional uses. The episode is studded with revelations—from the role of the TAME trial in ushering in a new era of gerotherapeutics to the promise held by mitochondrial derived peptides and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This is the frontier of science where the aging process itself is the adversary we learn to outmaneuver.
Lastly, we venture into the realm of personal health strategies, where sleep, fasting, and the judicious use of supplements play starring roles. With Dr. Barzilai's guidance, we confront the challenges of achieving ketosis and navigate the complexities of the supplement industry in search of reliable data. Through the lens of the Healthy Longevity Medicine Society, we glimpse into the future of longevity biotech—a future rife with opportunities for both medical professionals and investors. This episode isn't merely a treasure trove of information; it's a call to action for anyone intent on curating a healthier, more vibrant life

Why Calories Don't Count with Dr Giles Yeo

Health Longevity Secrets

04/22/25 • 39 min

Dr. Giles Yeo, Cambridge University Professor, author of "Why Calories Don't Count," and Chief Science Advisor at Rio demolishes weight management myths with scientific precision and personal warmth. This mind-shifting conversation reveals why blaming people for obesity fundamentally misunderstands human biology. Full disclosure: I am also an advisor for Rio but I only work with companies I believe in and would use for myself and my family.
Bold scientific insights abound as Dr. Yeo reveals why simple calorie counting fails. Rather than fixating on calories, he advocates understanding how different foods affect our bodies uniquely, making a compelling case for cooking at home with quality ingredients as his personal health strategy.
The discussion ventures into today's most transformative weight management tools, with Dr. Yeo describing GLP-1 medications as the most effective treatment options he's encountered in 30 years of obesity research. These medications signal fullness to the brain, but surprisingly affect other reward-seeking behaviors too - from alcohol consumption to addictive tendencies.
The conversation explores fascinating frontiers in brain science, including Dr. Yeo's groundbreaking work mapping human hypothalamus feeding circuits, and examines how AI-assisted health applications might revolutionize personalized nutrition. Throughout, his compassionate message resonates: obesity isn't a character flaw - it's the result of biological and environmental factors that require understanding, not judgment. Discover why this disco-dancing geneticist believes personalized approaches, not quick fixes, are the future of health optimization.

Quantum Leadership with Dr Stephen Sideroff

Health Longevity Secrets

06/03/25 • 61 min

This week we are co-broadcasting the premiere episode of a new podcast series entitled Quantum Leadership. It is helmed by Dr Stephen Sideroff, a dear friend and one of my first podcast guests as well as the cohost of several of our episodes. It is a true pleasure to share this episode of his new podcast in its entirely this week. Please let us know how you like it and if you would like to see more of these.

Steve interviews Ralph Gonsalves, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This conversation unveils the profound dimensions of leadership that transcend conventional theories in this riveting conversation. With eloquence born from decades of service, he dismantles the myth that leaders must come from privilege, sharing his journey from a barefoot village boy to becoming his nation's longest-serving Prime Minister.
Gonsalves articulates a compelling leadership framework built on energy, will, vision, skill, and what he terms "the X factor" – the rare ability to draw out qualities from people they don't yet recognize in themselves. This capacity to uncover "hidden rationalities" and untapped potential within communities stands at the heart of transformative leadership.
The conversation extends to healing collective trauma through conscious leadership, highlighting efforts to reclaim Balliceaux Island—a site of indigenous genocide—and advance reparations for historical injustices. These initiatives reflect Gonsalves' understanding that leadership must address both material development and psychological healing, ultimately working toward creating "whole daughters and whole sons out of the compromise that history has made us all."
Listen now to experience leadership wisdom that challenges conventional thinking and offers a more holistic, love-centered approach to creating positive change.
